In this episode of the Glorify & Grow Podcast, Pastor Thomas Kulp dives into the heart of Paul’s teachings in Romans, exploring the profound shift from a life of "works" to a life of "faith."

Human nature often drives us to earn our way—collecting accolades, checking off legal requirements, and trying to "work" for our salvation. But as Pastor Thomas illustrates through personal stories of hand-painted gifts and the history of the early church, grace is a gift that cannot be bought or earned.

Key highlights in this episode:

• The Boasting Trap: Why Paul insists that boasting is excluded by the principle of faith.
• Works vs. Faith: Understanding why we naturally lean toward "doing" and why God asks us to "believe" instead.
• The Nature of Prayer: A candid look at the three answers to prayer (Yes, No, and Maybe) and learning to trust God’s timing over our own.
• The Gift of Grace: A reminder that salvation is a free gift, and our only task is to open it with a grateful heart.

Join us as we learn to stop leaning on our own understanding and start resting in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
