The Bondage of the Free: A Radical Lutheran Look at Hyper-Grace

In this episode, Todd and Sean dive into the controversial "Hyper-Grace" movement. While it might sound like a natural fit for those who champion a "Radical Lutheran" perspective, the reality is far more nuanced.

Or does the Hyper-Grace movement inadvertently turn the Gospel into a new kind of Law?
