In this vital episode, "Faith Alone, But Never Alone," we dive headfirst into one of the most intense debates in church history, seeking to shatter the confusion between legalism and lawlessness. We’ll start by anchoring ourselves in the glorious truth that we are saved by grace through faith, and that this is a gift from God, not a result of our own striving (Ephesians 2:8-9). Then, we’ll pivot to the hard-hitting reality of Scripture, challenging the modern epidemic of "cheap grace" by examining why faith without action is not just weak—it is dead (James 2:17). As we wrestle with the apparent tension between Paul and James, we’ll discover that they aren’t enemies but allies, teaching us that while we are never saved by good works, we are absolutely saved for good works (Ephesians 2:10).

Central to our conversation will be the litmus test of true salvation—Jesus’ own warning that not everyone who says "Lord, Lord" enters the Kingdom, but only those who do the will of the Father (Matthew 7:21). We’ll peel back the layers of our own lives, asking if our faith is merely intellectual assent or a living allegiance to the King (Luke 6:46). And because a good tree cannot bear bad fruit (Matthew 7:18), we’ll explore how the Holy Spirit transforms our desires, moving us from duty to delight as we pursue holiness (1 Peter 1:15-16). This episode is a call to wake up—reminding believers that genuine faith always produces a transformed life, and that our obedience is the overflow of our love for Him (John 14:15). So whether you’re wrestling with doubt or ready to deepen your walk, get ready for a powerful time of theological clarity and conviction—because the Gospel doesn’t just save us from the penalty of sin; it saves us from the power of it!
