Renegade Grace
Renegade Grace is a podcast for those tired of trying harder to please God. We dismantle fear-based faith, expose religious performance, and reclaim the radical freedom of the gospel. Here grace defines identity, transformation flows from rest, and the cross actually worked.

In this episode of Renegade Grace, Jess tackles one of the oldest lies humanity has ever believed: "You can do it on your own." From the Garden of Eden to modern Christianity, the temptation has remained the same— independence from God dressed up as maturity, discipline, and spiritual effort.
