1000. 20 Years Later and 1000 Podcasts of Growing in Grace

When we started back in the year 2005, it wasn't exactly the long-term plan to have our 20th anniversary land on our 1000th podcast. In fact, when someone invited us to participate in a new launch of an "Internet Radio" channel, we had no idea if we would do a few programs or if it would go a while longer. But here we are. We just couldn't stop yapping about the good news of grace that has been vastly overlooked in so many popular corners of corporate Christianity and the religious educational institutions who have influenced them.

We hope you'll take a listen as we reflect on the unlikely partnership between two regular guys whose paths crossed in a radio station studio in 1994 and grew into a what would become a seemingly supernatural like-mindedness when it comes to the gospel of grace ... while attracting many thousands of listeners from around the world who have desired to hear such a message of love, assurance, forgiveness, and peace.

The takeaway from this week's program will hopefully bring confidence that God is orchestrating so many things through you—things that you may come to realize at times ... but often will never know in this life. Trust Him to live through you in both the biggest and smallest of ways that will have a significant impact on many you will never meet.

Thank you for your encouragement through the years and for sharing the podcast with someone you know. Your "word of mouth" has resulted in bringing something very special to many hurting people.

743. 15th Anniversary Program #3

This is the third and final anniversary program as Mike and Joel reminisce about doing the podcast for the past 15 years. The discussion includes some of the “favorite” subjects that have been foundational to the program and how gaining an understanding of them will help free people from religious bondage.

Also, you can search for topics on the Growing in Grace website. Growing in Grace is not a donation-based or listener-supported ministry but is supported by listeners sharing the good news with others.

483. Celebrating 10 Years of Growing in Grace!

Wow! How did we get here?! As coworkers at a Christian radio station 20 years ago, Mike and Joel began talking "grace" with each other in countless private conversations. Then ten years ago they began to let you in on their chats. This week marks a full decade of those weekly chats in the form of the Growing in Grace podcast!

To celebrate, we asked you to send us your comments about Growing in Grace, and your comments are the highlight of this episode! (Which is why this episode is a bit longer than usual.) But first, we share a little bit about how our weekly podcast came about. With God leading us in this, it's truly been our joy and honor to bring you the Growing in Grace podcast every week for 10 years. Thanks so much for being a part of this fantastic journey with us!
