What does it really mean to be saved by grace?

In this soul-stirring episode of the Unshakable podcast, Pastor Ben Cooper unpacks the revolutionary truth behind God’s undeserved favor—a truth that doesn’t just change theology, but transforms lives, identities, and hearts. Grace isn’t a concept for scholars. It’s the foundation of the gospel and the doorway to a life of peace and purpose.

Grace tells us that our relationship with God doesn’t depend on our performance, perfection, or past, but entirely on Christ’s finished work at the cross. One speaker shares with raw honesty: “I know me, and I wouldn’t choose me. But God chose me.” That powerful statement reflects the heart of grace—it’s unearned, unstoppable, and deeply personal.

We journey through Ephesians 2, where Scripture reveals that we were spiritually dead, incapable of saving ourselves. And yet, God—rich in mercy—made us alive in Christ. Even before the world began, He chose us, knowing every mistake we would ever make. That’s not just grace; that’s eternal love in action.

The episode highlights stories of real people transformed by grace, including one man whose encounter with Jesus changed his spiritual and mental health. Even his doctor was stunned by the change. We also hear from those in prison ministry, where grace is often received with open arms by those society has written off. One inmate shares:
“I’m so glad I was put in prison because I found freedom.”
It’s a reminder that grace often finds us in the lowest places—and lifts us higher than we imagined possible.

We then apply Philippians 4, discovering how to overcome anxiety by turning to prayer and focusing our thoughts on truth instead of fear. Grace isn't just about salvation—it’s about daily peace, steady joy, and renewed minds.

The episode concludes with a time of communion, symbolizing the power of the blood of Christ. Just as the Israelites were covered during Passover, we too are protected—fully covered by grace, forever.

Have you truly experienced this grace? It’s not reserved for the perfect or the religious. It’s for the broken, the doubting, the searching. If you’re ready to stop trying to earn what’s already been given, this episode is for you.
