Grace at LAST

158-In Part 2 of Genesis to Revelation looks at one of the most important and misunderstood themes in all of Scripture: covenant. Many people have approached the Bible through a view of negotiating with God, believing relationship with God is built on good behavior, rules, and earning acceptance. But what if covenant reveals something entirely different?

In this episode, we break down covenant in simple and relatable terms by contrasting covenant versus contract. While contracts are built on conditions and exchange, covenant is rooted in relationship. This changes the way we see God’s intent toward mankind from the very beginning.

As we revisit Genesis through the view of covenant, a larger story begins to unfold. Not a story centered on distance and separation, but one revealing a God continually moving toward humanity in relationship. This episode lays the foundation for the rest of the series by introducing the idea that Scripture may be telling a covenant story from Genesis to Revelation.

This framework changes everything. Once covenant becomes the lens, the Bible begins to read as one story of union with God and His people, not disconnected stories of characters in the Bible.

157-In Part 1 of the Genesis to Revelation series, we begin the journey through the story of Scripture by exploring the foundation of covenant. From the opening chapters of Genesis, we uncover how God’s relationship with humanity was never built on fear, striving, or performance, but on promise, identity, and connection. This episode looks at the covenants established throughout biblical history and why understanding them changes the way we read the Bible today.

We discuss the difference between Old Covenant thinking and the finished work revealed through Jesus, while also introducing the importance of understanding timelines, audience relevance, and context in Scripture. Many verses that have been used to create confusion begin to make sense when viewed through the lens of covenant.

This episode lays the groundwork for the entire series and invites listeners to see the Bible not as disconnected stories, but as one unfolding narrative pointing to fulfillment, restoration, and the completed work of Christ.

156-Three years in, this anniversary episode shows a journey of growth, unlearning, relearning and more truth. What started as just a step has become a place where performance-based faith is confronted and replaced with a relationship rooted in grace. We talk about important changes, from striving to rest, from fear to freedom, and from religion to real connection with God. We take an honest look at past beliefs that once felt true but do not actually line up with the finished work of Jesus. More than a review, this episode invites us to rethink what we believe and why. Are you living from acceptance or trying to work for it? Are you hearing God clearly or through old messages? It sets the tone for what is ahead, inviting us all into a richer understanding of covenant, identity, and the fullness of God in Christ.

Episode 155 we face the belief that we earn spiritual rewards through performance and invites us into a completely different way of relating to God. We look at how the idea of “earning blessings” has quietly shaped so many mindsets, turning faith into  negotiations instead of a relationship.

Through a fresh look at 2 Corinthians 9, Corinne reveals that true giving is not about getting something back, but about allowing God to work through you to impact others.

This message challenges pressure led giving, fear driven obedience, and the subtle trap of spiritual ambition. You will discover what it means to live from fullness instead of struggling, and how generosity flows naturally when you trust God as your source.

If you have ever felt like you are not doing enough, this conversation will help you release that weight and step into freedom, joy, and a deeper understanding of grace.

154-Today we continue unpacking freedom from fear-based teaching. Many of us have heard, “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling,” and felt pressure to perform, as if our relationship with God depends on us. But when we read the full context, we discover something powerful: God is the one at work in us, shaping our desires and empowering our actions.

This conversation will challenge our mindset of striving and invite us into a life of rest, trust, and identity in Christ. Through practical insights, reflection questions, and real-life examples, we begin to see that we don’t have to earn what has already been given.

We can try less and trust more.

God is already at work in us.

153-Welcome to the final part of our four-part series on fear-based teaching. Today, we look into the heart of sin consciousness and obedience without pressure. Many believers live constantly aware of sin, thinking it keeps them humble and faithful but in reality, it often produces guilt, anxiety, and exhaustion. Fear-driven obedience may produce immediate results, but it distorts our view of God, disconnects us from our true identity, and misrepresents the abundant life we’re called to live. In this episode, we see what real obedience looks like when it flows from love instead of fear. Learn how focusing on who you are in Christ, understanding God’s absolute joy in you, and letting go of faith that we feel like we are barely holding on, will lead to transformation, freedom, and joy.

152-Corinne continues part three of the 4-part series on fear-based teaching by addressing two powerful and often overlooked areas, money and end times urgency. This message challenges the subtle ways fear has been used toinfluence giving, decision making, and how people view their relationship with God.

Many have been taught that financial giving influences God’s provision, creating pressure, anxiety, and a transactional mindset. Corinne reconsiders generosity as something that flows from trust and security, not fear or obligation.

The conversation then shifts to end times teaching, where urgency driven by fear can lead to anxiety, constant striving, and a mindset of waiting rather than fully living now. Instead of focusing on what might happen next, we are encouraged to consider what has already been accomplished.

This episode invites you to examine what is truly driving your faith. Is it fear or trust? Because real faith is not built on pressure, but on confidence, freedom, and the reality that in Christ, everything has already been given.

In episode 151 of the Grace at LAST Podcast, Corinne continues the conversation on fear-based teaching by moving into performance pressure and the feeling of never being enough. Building on the last episode about hell and judgment, this episode uncovers how fear quietly turns into striving, and striving into exhaustion.

Many believers live in a constant cycle of questioningthemselves. Am I doing enough? Am I growing fast enough? Am I really okay with God? This performance mindset creates distance, not connection, and leaves people managing their relationship with God instead of enjoying it.

Corinne challenges the idea that God is disappointed,inviting us to consider a different perspective. What if God’s desire is not pressure, but invitation? Growing does not come from fear or constant evaluation, but from feeling safe, accepted, and secure.

This episode offers a powerful shift. You do not grow tobecome accepted. You grow because you already are. When you live from love instead of pressure, everything changes. Faith becomes restful, authentic, and life giving instead of exhausting and performance driven.

150-In this episode, we start with Part 1 of our 4-Part series and break down fear-based teaching, focusing on two major drivers, hell and judgment. So many of us were taught to follow God and the fear of consequences, not from a place of security. Fear may produce quick obedience, but it never produces lasting freedom.

 When hell is used as a threat, it creates anxiety, not relationship. It keeps people focused on avoiding punishment instead of experiencing connection with God. It turns faith into survival mode, where you are constantly questioning if you are okay.

Then there is judgment. Many believe their future is still on trial. But the truth we are exploring is this, Jesus was fully judged. And if you are in Him, you are not waiting for judgment, you are standing in the result of His finished work. That changes everything. You move from striving to resting, from fear to trust, from performance to relationship.

You were not designed to live afraid.

You were designed to live loved.

149-If our relationship with God depended on our consistency,none of us would stand for long. Scripture shows that even with sincere intentions, mankind cannot keep perfect promises. That is why God established a system of forgiveness not based on human ability, but as a gift.

 Under the old covenant, sin was covered through sacrifice.Under the new covenant, it was removed completely through Jesus. One sacrifice. Once and for all. This changes the starting point of our faith. We are not striving to be forgiven; we are living from forgiveness.

This episode challenges the idea that we must continually ask for what has already been fully given. If forgiveness required death, and JesUs already took that death, what is left to be done? Instead of living in cycles of fear and confession, we are invited to live in confidence and gratitude.

 When we understand the finished work of Christ, our focus changes from sin to Him. We still grow and acknowledge where we fall short, but our relationship with God is no longer rooted in fear. It is rooted in grace, freedom, and the unshakable truth that we are already fully forgiven.
