Real Life with Christ episodes

  • Saved By Grace

    I wanted to write this description myself to prepare you, the listener, for the tragedies and joys of my story. Much of my life was far removed from the will of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but by His grace I have been able to be forgiven and redeemed in His image. I hope that you all listen closely and that everyone can learn from my mistakes and choices. I take no glory or mean to glorify any of my actions before I gave my life to Christ, for it's only by His grace that I was able to live long enough to have the opportunity to repent from them. He had a plan for my life before I was born, and He has a plan for yours as well. As you will hear, even when I didn't feel like it, I was loved by many people and you are loved as well. Thank you for the support and may Jesus continue to get the glory for it all.
