Who goes to heaven?! | Understanding the gift of grace! | Matthew 19:26 with Steph Blair

Matthew 19:26 — “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” In today’s episode, Ash and Steph dive into one of the most confronting and freeing truths Jesus ever taught: you cannot earn your way to God.Not with good behaviour.Not with wealth.Not with a “perfect” life.Not even with a lifetime of doing the right things. Jesus flips the entire idea of worthiness upside down — showing the disciples that salvation isn’t something we climb our way into, it’s something only God can make possible. Steffi shares a powerful story about a pastor stepping out in faith, and how it helped her understand the difference between our part and God’s part. Ash unpacks the cultural context behind the wealthy young man, why the disciples were so shocked, and why Jesus’ words would have completely reshaped what blessing, favor, and salvation looked like. In this episode, we talk about: Why no one is “too far gone” for God’s grace The upside-down kingdom Jesus introduces Why surrender, not perfection, is the doorway to salvation Letting go of the belief that you can earn God’s favor Why God asks you to do the possible and leaves the impossible to Him The surprising truth about wealth and spiritual dependence The beauty of giving Jesus your whole life — not just the tidy parts This episode is both challenging and wildly comforting.If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “doing enough,” “good enough,” or “worthy enough,” this one will breathe fresh truth and freedom into your heart.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
