Exploring Grace and Salvation Through Romans and Personal Testimonies

In this episode of Red Ledger, Lissa Frasure and Tyler Bell dive deep into the book of Romans, discussing the concept of grace in the Christian faith. They explore how grace differs from works-based salvation and reflect on personal experiences that have shaped their understanding of God's grace. Tyler shares his journey from confusion and fear about salvation to a confident belief in grace as an everlasting gift. Lissa and Tyler also discuss the importance of understanding salvation, combating feelings of condemnation, and the significance of forming a personal relationship with Jesus. They emphasize the necessity of living under grace rather than the law, highlighting how Jesus' ultimate sacrifice frees believers from the need to constantly earn their salvation. This episode is a heartfelt conversation about faith, grace, and overcoming spiritual challenges.

Have you ever wondered if it’s time to leave your church? In this episode of The Red Ledger Podcast, we expose the red flags of spiritual abuse in the church and the difference between healthy, biblical leadership and toxic control.

We are not here to bash pastors, but to encourage our listeners to find HEALTHY biblical leadership.

We talk about:
How churches misuse “grace” to protect leaders while silencing victims
Why authoritarian, cult-like leadership thrives in secrecy
The dangers of gaslighting, manipulation, and spiritual theatrics

How to recognize if your church is guiding you toward Jesus or just the pastor

What the Bible actually says about leadership, accountability, and discernment

📖 Scriptures we reference:
Acts 17:11 — Be a Berean: test everything against Scripture.
Matthew 7:15–16 — You will know them by their fruit.
Ezekiel 34:2–4 — Woe to shepherds who feed themselves.
1 Peter 5:2–3 — Shepherd the flock willingly, not domineering.
Matthew 18:15–17 — God’s way of accountability.

In this episode of The Red Ledger, we’re getting raw about something many believers feel but rarely admit: wondering if God really loves us.

Even when you're doing all the right things—praying, serving, studying Scripture—it’s possible to feel distant from God. We’ve both been there. From burnout in ministry to missing intimacy with God, we talk about what it looks like to rediscover His love in the “secret place.”

This conversation is for anyone who's felt overwhelmed, spiritually dry, or just unsure of how God really sees them. We cover:

Why religious activity can’t replace relationship
How busyness can be spiritual avoidance
The gentle way God disciplines and draws us back
Practical ways to reconnect with God's love
What Psalm 91, John, and Matthew 7 teach us about intimacy with Him

💬 If you’ve ever wondered, “Does God really love me?” — this one’s for you.

🎙️ When Life Isn’t Fair: A Christian Response to Injustice | The Red Ledger Podcast

What should Christians do when life feels unfair? How do we respond when justice is denied, and pain is personal?

In this powerful episode of The Red Ledger, host Denalee Bell is joined by Lissa Frasure to explore how believers can navigate injustice, disappointment, and unfair treatment with grace, humility, and a kingdom mindset.

👉 From corrupt systems to personal heartbreak, injustice is all around us. But as followers of Jesus, we're called to respond differently—through faith, forgiveness, and trust in God’s sovereignty.

💬 Lissa shares a vulnerable, real-life story about her son being unfairly benched during high school baseball playoffs, and how his Christlike response inspired everyone around him. Together, they dive into:

🔹 What the Bible says about justice and injustice
🔹 How to trust God when justice seems delayed
🔹 Why worldly fairness ≠ God’s righteousness
🔹 Lessons from Proverbs, Matthew 18, and Jesus on the cross
🔹 How grace and mercy can transform injustice into witness

Whether you’re facing personal injustice, dealing with unfair treatment at work or school, or struggling with the brokenness of the world, this episode is for you

Scripture referenced:
Proverbs 22:8
(NKJV): "He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow, And the rod of his anger will fail."
Context: Lissa references this verse to find solace in the face of worldly injustice, noting that those who sow injustice will face consequences. It underscores the belief that God’s justice will prevail, even if not immediately visible, providing comfort.

Proverbs 31:8-9 (NKJV): "Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, And plead the cause of the poor and needy."
Context: Cited to emphasize the Christian call to speak up for the oppressed, such as the poor and needy. The hosts balance this with the need for prayer and discernment to ensure actions align with God’s will, particularly when addressing injustices like the one Lissa experienced with her son.

Matthew 18:15 (NKJV): "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother."
Context: Lisa mentions following the “Matthew 18:15” process when addressing the perceived injustice with her son’s baseball coach. She and her husband approached the coach directly.

Deuteronomy 32:35 (NKJV): "Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them."
Context: Referenced indirectly when the hosts discuss “God says vengeance is mine,” emphasizing that vengeance belongs to God alone, not humans. This ties into their argument that Christians should forgo personal retribution and trust God’s justice, as exemplified by Lissa’s reflection on her emotional response.

Luke 23:34 (NKJV): "Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.’ And they divided His garments and cast lots."
Context: Alluded to when discussing Jesus’ grace on the cross, particularly His prayer for forgiveness for those who crucified Him. The hosts compare this to Cooper’s grace toward his teammates, suggesting that such forgiveness can change hearts, as seen with the soldier who believed after witnessing Jesus’ compassion.

John 11 (Implied Reference to Lazarus) (NKJV, John 11:35 for brevity): "Jesus wept."
Context: The hosts reference Jesus’ compassion in the story of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus’ death.

1 Samuel (NKJV, 1 Samuel 10:9): "So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day."
