Sometimes we only understand God’s grace when we hit rock bottom. The Gospels teach that Jesus doesn't disdain our pain: instead, He actively moves toward us with hope and restoration. In this episode, Sherri Hughes-Gragg shares her journey from a performance-based faith to a grace-filled understanding of God’s love.
