Patric Knaak is a former pastor and the Area Director for the Renewal Team at Serge—a team dedicated to helping ministry leaders and others rediscover God’s grace. In this episode, Jim and Patric talk about how normal, everyday challenges and situations can be profound opportunities to experience the fullness of what Jesus Christ has accomplished for us. They explore the idea that the gospel isn’t just the door to a new relationship with God—but also the power that continually transforms us. Tune in to gain valuable insights into how you can apply the gospel, moment by moment, in your daily life.

In this episode, they discuss...

• Why a Missions Agency Has a Renewal Department [11:17]
• What the Gospel Has to Do With a Corrupted Computer File, a Fleeing Dog, and An Unhappy Birthday [11:53] 
• The Shark and the Fin—Why We Need to Identify What’s Under the Surface of Our Sinful Behavior [18:43]
• How Ongoing, Daily Experiences of God’s Grace Free Us to Enjoy Being His Child [31:16]
• Being Redeemed As Pipes, Not Buckets - the Renewal/Mission Dynamic in Daily Life [40:43]

Through Jim and Patric’s conversation, we see how coming to grips with the depth of our ongoing, daily need for God’s grace is what propels us outward to share that good news with those around us.
