Episode Summary
In this episode of the Witnessing Christ Podcast, Mark and the evangelist interns—Charlie, Calvin, and Jon—continue their series on the four foundational concepts of sin, grace, faith, and works, focusing this time on grace. The discussion explores the stark contrast between the biblical and LDS understandings of grace. In Latter-day Saint theology, grace is often seen as an “enabling power” that boosts human effort rather than the complete, unmerited gift Scripture describes.
The team shares illustrations from the Bible, including the story of David and Mephibosheth, the parable of the prodigal son, and Paul’s conversion, to reveal grace as God’s unconditional love poured out despite our unworthiness. This grace, fully realized in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, is beyond our ability to earn or fully comprehend. Mark and the interns encourage listeners to marvel at this profound gift and to share its wonder with those around them, especially during the Christmas season. Don’t miss this in-depth look at grace and its transformative power!
