(Ep. #3) Serial Killers Who Professed Christ, Part 1


Listen Later

What happens when grace crashes into the life of a serial killer?


In this raw and unfiltered episode, we begin our descent into the stories of men like Jeffrey Dahmer — murderers who claimed they found Christ. We wrestle with the shocking question: Can grace reach even them?


You’ll hear:


🪦 What God's Word actually says about murder and forgiveness


🧠 Why people commit evil—and if we’re more like them than we want to admit


📖 Whether sins have degrees (and if yours really are “lesser”)


🌾 Plus: we discuss Appalachia, June bugs, and squirrel hunting 


This episode is heavy, hilarious, and holy all at once. If it offends you... wait for Part 2.


If you're struggling with Selective Grace Syndrome (SGS), try Real Grace, a proven formula!


Listen now — or we’ll send the church choir to your house at 6 a.m. to sing “Just As I Am” offkey and out of tune.


(Yes, Sister Mildred’s bringing the tambourine.)


Reviews from our listeners:


🎧 Just finished the episode, 42 minutes long and I didn't have the first desire to sing either of you down! LOL! 

😂 The SGS (Selective Grace Syndrome) bit is hysterical! And that singing man! Cringe! 

🎙️ I really enjoy listening to the podcast. 

🧠 A really good mix of being entertaining yet thought-provoking with a solid Word. 

💔 Another great episode! It really hit me amid the conversation that I personally and other Christians often forget that when we are interacting with others, that's someone who God breathed His life into, salvation paid for on the cross...and I am often murdering them with judgment...even if it's just in my thoughts. 

🔪 Take away for me: we need to stop being "spiritual serial killers." 

🐞 Loved the June bug analogy! I also shared the comments on not having a testimony with my sister. She actually made that exact comment one time that she didn't really have a testimony because she got saved at a very young age and has walked with the Lord. Great perspective! 

❤️ Another great one! Love you guys! 

🎶 Love the intro and soundbites! 

🔥 The Holy Roast! I'm rolling! LOL! 

🤝 A good conversation with good people! 

👀 You definitely opened my eyes today… 

🗣️ Man, that episode was awesome! A couple of us at work the other day were debating about sin and how we judge them in a moral sense in life and how the penalty is more severe for certain ones compared to others. Which led to us talking about God and how he viewed all sins… 

💡 I enjoyed it! Very insightful! Great guests! 

🙏 I definitely needed to hear this. Thank you for sharing this with me.
