In this off-week discussion, Steve takes on a headline-grabbing question: Is Donald Trump really a Christian—or does he even understand the Gospel? Using recent soundbites from Trump about heaven and forgiveness, Steve unpacks what they reveal about common misconceptions surrounding salvation, grace, and the human condition before a holy God.
This isn’t about politics—it’s about clarity. Many people, like Trump, believe that good deeds or noble actions might earn them a spot in heaven. But the Bible paints a very different picture. Drawing from Mark 8:36, Ephesians 2:8-9, and Romans 3:28, Steve highlights the difference between relying on works and embracing the finished work of Jesus Christ.
If you’ve ever wrestled with what it really means to be saved—or if you’ve assumed being “good enough” was the ticket in—this episode is for you. The heart of the Gospel isn’t about what we can do, but about what Jesus has already done.
