113 The Urgency of Grace: Finding Relief in a Worn-Out World (with David Zahl)

We are all looking for a bit of relief. Some pain relief, relief from stress, the relief of getting the kids off to school or maybe to bed on time. But do we think of God’s grace as the big relief? In this episode, we welcome back David Zahl, of Mockingbird Ministries. David introduces his new book titled The Big Relief: The Urgency of Grace for a Worn-Out World, which focuses on how God's grace is the ultimate relief we all seek in our stress-filled lives. They discuss various aspects of grace, including forgiveness, imputation, and surrender, and how these can alleviate the modern pressures of status anxiety and the demand for control. The conversation delves into the importance of recognizing suffering and offering consolation through the grace of God. David also shares insights on creating church communities that provide relief rather than additional burdens. 00:00 Introduction: Seeking Relief 00:39 Guest Introduction: David Zahl 01:24 The Urgency of Grace 02:56 Grace in a Pressure Cooker World 06:11 Defining Grace: The Big Relief 08:49 Forgiveness: Relief from Regret 14:03 Imputation: Relief from Status Anxiety 21:00 Surrender: Relief from Control 27:09 Cultivating Communities of Relief 30:10 Conclusion and Farewell
