171- In this episode, we take a fresh look at what Paul meant when he encouraged believers to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. We talk about why renewing our minds isn't about trying harder, thinking more positively, or becoming someone new. It's about learning to think in agreement with what is already true because of the finished work of Christ. As truth replaces old beliefs shaped by fear, shame, and performance, our thinking begins to change, and so do our lives. This isn't a one-time event. It's a lifelong journey of discovering who God really is, who we are in Christ, and learning to live from that reality every day.

170-In this episode, we consider how the way we see God,ourselves, and the world around us shapes the way we experience life. We talk about how fear, shame, performance, and past experiences can become lenses that quietly influence our thinking without us even realizing it. But JesUs invites us to see through a different lens; one of grace, truth, and our new identity in Him. This isn't about positive thinking or pretending life is easy. It's about allowing truth to replace the stories fear has been telling us. Maybe the greatest change isn't in our circumstances. Maybe it's learning to see them through the finished work of Christ.

In episode 169 we ask "Why are so many people afraid of God?" Where did that fear come from? In this episode, we look at how fear shapes the way we see God, ourselves, and even the way we read the Bible. We talk about why so many people assume God is disappointed with them, and how JesUs came to reveal the Father's heart. As we begin to see God more truthfully, fear starts to lose its hold. This isn't about trying harder to have more faith. It's about discovering the security we already have because of the finished work of Christ. My hope is that this episode helps you breathe a little easier, ask honest questions, and see the Father's love more honestly.

In Episode 168 of the Grace at LAST Podcast, we look at how prayer changes when we realize God is not distant but already present with us through Christ. If we are already united with Him, prayer becomes less about trying to get God's attention and more about enjoying an ongoing relationship. Together we'll consider how many of our ideas about prayer have been shaped by distance, performance, or fear, and what it looks like to simply rest in the finished work of JesUs. Rather than offering formulas or techniques, this episode invites you to rediscover prayer as a natural, honest conversation flowing from the security of God's love and our union with Him.

167-In this episode of Grace at LAST, we move from understanding the New Covenant to living it. It is one thing to recognize what JesUs accomplished, but another to let that reality reshape the way we think, respond, and experience everyday life.

What if living in the New Covenant is less about trying harder and more about seeing different? We look at how fear, performance, and old patterns can continue to influence us even after we understand grace, and why renewing our minds is so important. You'll discover how your past was not wasted, how growth is something to celebrate, and why freedom becomes increasingly natural as we see ourselves through the finished work of Christ.

This episode is practical, encouraging, and filled with everyday examples that invite you to experience the peace, confidence, and rest that come from living in the reality of the New Covenant.

166-How do we read the Bible after the finished work of JesUs? In this episode of Grace at LAST, we look at one of the biggest shifts many believers never consider: God has not changed, but covenant has.Instead of reading every passage as though it is written directly to us, we learn to ask who the original audience was, where the passage fits in the unfolding story of Scripture, and how it points to Christ. As we renew our minds with truth, fear, confusion, and struggling begin to be replaced with rest and clarity. The Bible becomes one beautiful, connected story revealing God's unchanging heart and His completed work through JesUs.

165-If you’ve ever felt more confused the more you studied the Bible, this episode is for you. In How Do I Read the Bible Now? we step back and look at Scripture through the lens of covenant, circumstances, and fulfillment rather than treating every verse as if it was written directly to us. What changes when we stop reading the Bible as one flat book of rules and start seeing the story it tells? We talk about audience importance, the movement from old covenant to new, and why reading with the big picture in view can bring clarity, peace, and a much healthier way to approach Scripture.

164-In the final episode of the Genesis to Revelation series, we step back from the details and consider the bigger picture. After looking at covenant from Genesis through Revelation, what does it look like to live in light of what has been fulfilled?

For years, many of us have approached Scripture searchingfor the next insight, the missing piece, or a deeper level of understanding. Yet when we zoom out and follow the thread of covenant through the Bible, a simpler and more beautiful picture begins to appear. The story is not mainly about self-effort, achieving, or maintaining a relationship with God. It is about God's desire to dwell with humanity and bring us into union with Himself through JesUs Christ.

This episode reflects on what it means to live from rest rather than performance, from acceptance rather than fear, and from the reality of what has already been accomplished rather than what we hope to someday receive.
