Grace Escape

Do you have more questions now or are you dealing with some fallout from leaving? Today, Justin and Tiffany flesh out some possible aftereffects from exiting a Pentecostal church. No longer “running the aisles”, but more like “clean up on aisle 5”. Where will I go to church now? How do I respond to the people questioning me? Should I pray differently now? Or, will I get lonely? There will be consequences that come from leaving that require giving yourself time to heal, grow, and have grace through the detox process.

Our salvation confidence comes from, and is in, Christ alone. Tiffany struggled with this simplicity because of her time spent in a performance-based Pentecostal denomination. In this episode, she shares her 3-year journey of coming to the full knowledge of God’s gift to all who believe and her exit out of this church organization.

Examination of our belief systems can be eye-opening. In this episode, Justin shares his exit story. Through a series of life events, he began to study church history, and the church organization he had spent the majority of his life invested in. With continued study in God’s Word and the work of the Holy Spirit, he started to see serious error within the teachings he had held for years.

Saying goodbye can be a hard decision. Not feeling like you have permission to, or that you’ll be cursed if you do, makes leaving nearly impossible.  On the second episode of the Grace Escape podcast, Justin and Tiffany compile a list of some major reasons why people stay and may never consider exiting these high-control church systems.

Justin and Tiffany talk about their life growing up in a hyper-charismatic, oneness pentecostal church, and how they separately escaped to find grace outside the fundamental church. Join them as they share their ups and downs, the joy and sorrow, and the journey out of the fundamental church.

Grace-believers are constantly accused of wanting permission to sin — but it’s a claim we’ve never taught, believed, or practiced. In this episode, we expose how high-control church leaders knowingly misrepresent grace in order to maintain fear, obedience, and power. We walk through Scripture to dismantle the false claims that assurance leads to laziness, works prove salvation, and leaving abusive systems means rejecting Christ. If you’ve been shamed, mischaracterized, or pressured for trusting Jesus alone, this episode is for you.

What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! - Romans 6:15 ESV
