Speaker: Bryce Crawford, with Judah Smith
February 24, 2025 · 1 hr 19 min
Summary
Pastor Judah Smith discusses God's unconditional love (agape) with Bryce Crawford, emphasizing that believers are accepted by grace through Christ rather than through earned worthiness. The conversation centers on moving from a performance-based "worthy world" to living in God's transcendent grace, using the parable of the prodigal son to illustrate how God runs toward broken people with acceptance and favor.
Highlights
You are not a son by worth. You're a son by birth. That's why Jesus said, you must be born into my family. You don't earn your way into my family. You don't deserve your way into my family. You can only be birthed in my family. And once you're birthed, you can't be unbirthed. You're mine.
The only agape that exists in the universe by definition in its full plenary form is from God. And the only person in the history of mankind who has ever stepped foot on this earth and has been the full and complete representation of agape is the guy on your t-shirt. I am in love with him because of that very reason.
What got you here is not your genius and your hard work. It's the grace of God. So the grace of God got you here, the grace of God will keep you here, and the grace of God will see you through.
