"I didn't realize how much I had fallen into performance-driven Christianity—doing things to earn God's favor when He already favored me."

In this episode, Austin Gardner takes us through the most "horrific" time of his life—recovering from a near-fatal bout of COVID only to be met with five new tumors and the abandonment of friends. Yet, in the middle of the chaos, he discovered a truth that changed everything: the absolute, unconditional love of Jesus Christ.

Key Themes:

• The Physical Battle: Moving from a walker to the pulpit.
• The Social Battle: Finding grace when people say things that aren't true.
• The Spiritual Breakthrough: Moving past "religion" to a relationship of rest.
• The Series Announcement: Preparing for the 5-day blitz of Robert and Kelly Canfield’s story starting Monday, March 9.
