Why "Trying Harder" is Killing Your Faith | The Pursuit with James Griffin

Woven2026.comGrace is meant to comfort us — but it also confronts us. In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Matt Moody explore why grace often feels offensive, especially to religious people who are used to earning approval. They unpack why salvation isn’t about God helping good people, but God resurrecting the spiritually dead. The conversation tackles pride, performance-based faith, hell, judgment, and what it really means to be saved by grace alone. If you’ve ever struggled with assurance, shame, or trying to earn God’s love, this episode is for you.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes161To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.
