#161 - Derwin Gray// Grace Changes Your Mind and Rewires Your Identity

Grace possesses the power to transform doubters into devoted followers, as demonstrated through the journey of James, Jesus's half-brother, who moved from skepticism to martyrdom. • Grace breaks through doubt, remaining patient with disbelief even when familiarity blinds us to divine reality • Jesus appeared to James after the resurrection, demonstrating that grace doesn't condemn but rather reveals itself when we're ready • Grace completely rewired James's identity, transforming him from skeptic to church leader who identified as a servant rather than a brother • James's commitment was so complete that he ultimately faced martyrdom, being pushed from the temple and clubbed to death rather than renouncing his faith • The transformation of James proves that grace isn't merely a second chance but a complete restart that changes our mind, heart, and purpose If you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.
