Living Influence with Bill Thrall and Scott Boyd

The Immense Reality of the Gift Called Grace


Listen Later

If God is going to give this immense gift of grace to the humble, who are the humble? 

In this episode, Bill and Scott explore what it means to trust God with the truth of who you are. They unpack why grace is more than forgiveness—it’s the means by which we stop striving and start receiving. Through Scripture, personal stories, and honest dialogue, they reveal how letting go opens the door to transformation


Topics Bill Thrall and Scott Boyd discuss in this episode: 


(0:05) Trust and the Nature of Humility

* Bill reflects on 1 Peter 5:5 and what it means to be humble.

* Trusting God begins when we realize we can’t do what’s best for us.


(2:44) Fears About Trusting God
