Grace is a free gift from God, which is an incredible truth about Christianity—there is nothing we can do to earn it. What we oftentimes fail to realize, though, is that accepting this free gift of grace costs us something…our life.

In today’s episode, we discuss the difference between cheap grace and costly grace as introduced by Dietrich Bonhoeffer in The Cost of Discipleship. We find that cheap grace is grace without discipleship. We look to scripture to discover what it means to actually be a disciple. It’s no simple task, but it’s totally worth it!

We mentioned the following resources during this episode:

1) The Cost of Discipleship

2) The Real God by Chip Ingram

3) Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

4) Matthew 5, 6, 7 – Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount where he gives instructions about what it looks like to follow him

5) Episodes 11 & 12. Training For Godliness With Pastor Mike Plummer
