Podcasts about Amazing Grace

John Newton is best known today for his hymn, Amazing Grace. But in his day, he was better known for his letters. Christians, pastors, and others would write to him for pastoral advice. In our ongoing series about timeless letters from the past, we will spend a large percentage of our time reading his letters. In part because he was so prolific in his letter-writing. But lots of people have written lots of letters. The bigger reason we will spend so much time on his letters is that so many of them are incredibly beneficial to us. For our first letter, we are looking at correspondence between Newton and a young man training for ministry. The young man is concerned that he is growing in knowledge, but his spiritual maturity is not keeping pace. Newton encourages him, saying this is something to be worried about, and gives practical help in continuing his pursuit of Christ. Every week, we will spend some time introducing you to the author of the letter we are looking at. For Newton, we have a special opportunity. When creating our second study, Behold Your God: The Weight of Majesty, two of the historical introductions covered the life of John Newton. To help you become better acquainted with him, we have posted those videos in the link below. Each week, we will post the letter of focus in next week's episode to give you a chance to read ahead if you would like. Make sure to check below for that.

Dad, have you paused lately to think about who has helped you become the father, husband, and man you are today? Chances are, you didn't get here alone. We're all products of past generosity. This episode is all about recognizing and appreciating those who've supported us behind the scenes. We want to celebrate the people who rarely get the spotlight but who play essential roles in our lives and stories. Namely, today we want to honor Lawson Brown. He's co-host extraordinaire, a friend that sticks closer than a brother, and one of the reasons you're able to listen to this show today.

The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.

He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.

What if someone really knew the real you? Not the polished version you show the world—but your deepest flaws, struggles, mistakes, and shame. Would they still love you? Now take that question even deeper: If God knew the real me, would He still want me? Many of us live under the weight of guilt and the fear of being "found out." But what if the very things you think disqualify you are the places where God wants to meet you with grace?THE BIG IDEA: God knows absolutely everything about you—and still wants everything to do with you.

Performance begins to be valued more than one's presence. People become things.  To be an example to others, the true self is isolated. Secrets sap one's passion and purpose.    These pitfalls can destroy careers, friendships, reputations, marriages and families—unless one is freed from them.    Out of the Pit Hopeful Truths: Freedom is not only possible; we are created for it. The descent into the Pitfalls can be stopped at any time. When the leader who is descending into the pitfalls experiences an intervention from others whom the leader listens to and healthily responds to, the descent can be stopped. Also, if the leader comes to an awareness of his/her descent and cries out and is heard and responded to by others, the descent can be stopped.  There is a path that takes us out of the Pit; we can ascend. Freedom is not only possible;  we are created for it. The people who dare to “come back to life” are some of the greatest blessers in this world: They have humility and passion.  They have compassion because of empathy. They are doers who are relational.  They are witnesses to what God can do with a person who dares to be in need. Their “loss” can become many others' gains. They are witnesses of John Newton's hymn, Amazing Grace.   That which we think has destroyed us has opened up a future before us. Listen to Episode #26 “Becoming a Portable Sanctuary.   The woundedness of the leader, coordinated with their healing, becomes the leader's newly discovered productivity.   Liberation from bondage is available. If there is breath, there is hope.    Recovery from addiction to control begins with: Confession: the recognition of and “fessing up” to being human, which means that I feel and I need more than I can handle or manage without relational help. Admission:  The acknowledgment of powerlessness over life  The profound awareness that the more I have attempted to do it alone, the more unmanageable my life has become.  In these two beginning steps, the impaired leader must admit the specific nature of his/her secrets in order to get relief.    Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

By Dave Wallauch - God's Word tells us that forgiveness and salvation are possible regardless of sins committed, and that we can be delivered from judgement and condemnation through the mercy and grace of our God the Father and Jesus Christ His Son. The song, "Amazing Grace", written by John Newton, is one of the most

The Turnaround #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Turnaround The story of John Newton"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)John Newton was about as far from a minister as you could get. He was a slave trader, a profane man who lived a rough life on the seas. His mother had taught him about God as a child, but he had long since forgotten those lessons. He was, by his own admission, a wretch.But on March 10, 1748, everything changed. Newton's ship was caught in a violent storm off the coast of Ireland. As the ship was taking on water and it looked like they might not survive, Newton cried out to God for mercy. They made it through that storm, and Newton's life was never the same.He left the slave trade, studied for the ministry, and eventually became a pastor. But his greatest contribution might have been a hymn he wrote that told his story: "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see."That hymn has probably done more to spread the gospel than any sermon ever preached. It's been translated into dozens of languages, sung by believers around the world, and has brought comfort to countless people in their darkest hours.Here's what amazes me about Newton's story: God didn't waste any of his past. All those years at sea, all those experiences with difficult people, all the hardships he had endured, God used them to make him a more effective minister. His past gave him credibility with people who might have never listened to someone who had lived a sheltered life.I think sometimes we believe that our past disqualifies us from being used by God. We think our mistakes, our failures, our poor choices have put us on the bench permanently. But that's not how God works. He's in the business of redemption, of taking the broken pieces of our lives and making something beautiful out of them.Maybe you're sitting there thinking your past is too messy, your failures too great, your mistakes too many. Let me remind you of something: if God could use a slave trader to write "Amazing Grace," He can use you too. Your comeback story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear today.God is still in the business of amazing grace, and that grace is sufficient for you.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

Grace Kim. What. A. Star.That was really one of the great finishes in a major, Grace was so calm, cool and collected and nailed the win. Nick and Mark discuss the tournament, obviously the final day in particular and what they loved about Grace's performance - the recovery after hitting it into the water, the chip shot, so much to be impressed with. Mark asks if anyone has ever hit three eagles on day 4 to win a major? He can't recall it happening. And Mark notes that credit must go to the PGA and Golf Australia, particularly Karen Lunn, in their development of the womens game in this country.Mid chat, the fire alarm at Titleist and FootJoy HQ goes off....there is a possibility we may not survive and this could be the last pod ever.....but, crisis averted, it's only a test. Phew.Back to the Evian. Obviously the big story is Grace Kim, however Mark loved how well Gabi Ruffels played, and he tells Nick his favourite thing about her development as a golfer.Another exciting result this week was Mark's cousin* Steve Allan who went wire to wire in New York to win on the Champions Tour, a popular winner, and Nick and Mark loved it. Nick raises Marks round at Kingston Heath at the weekend, he had a cracker....10 birdies in the first round with his brand new Titleist clubs, he talks us through the round and explains where it went well, and when he got nervous and had a couple of tough holes.We had young Jasper on the pod a week or two ago, he played in an under 10's tournament in Sydney last week and won by 34 shots ! Sheez....If you've not jumped on board our Talk Birdie Multi with Betr, 14 bucks for Scheffler to miss the top 10 at The Open Championship, into Lowry to beat Rory, into Fleetwood to beat Bryson.

Nice.After the turn, we read the release from the OWGR on the LIV application for OWGR points. Should LIV players get points? And if so how many? Love your thoughts. Nick and Mark believe they probably should, but with limits. Inspired by Grace Kim, Nick's Top 5 counts down his best ever finishes in a major to win a major. And in feedback, as you'd expect, a heap of comments on Grace's win. Plus we get clarity on who the Liver King is, and a comment on UK crowds.Plenty for Nick to run through in the PING global results, obviously the Evian the big one, but lots of other golf over the weekend. And a great masterclass from Mark on chipping.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.

Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone).

"At M2 The Rock, we fully respect the anonymity of all 12-step fellowships. In alignment with their traditions, we do not represent or speak on behalf of any of these groups. Our mission is to share hope, not affiliation."About M2 THE ROCK - MICHAEL MOLTHAN:I'm Michael Molthan, host of The M2 The Rock Show—one of the fastest-growing podcasts and shows on self-improvement, mental health, addiction recovery, and spiritual transformation. I'm so grateful you're here.I started M2 The Rock in 2017 to bring you conversations designed to make you happier, healthier, and more healed. Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body. On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation. I don't shy away from topics like:✅ Trauma & Addiction – Understanding the root causes✅ Self-Sabotage & Mental Health – Breaking negative cycles✅ Codependency & Enabling – How relationships impact recovery✅ 12-Step Programs & Spiritual Healing – Finding true freedom✅ Religious Trauma & Personal Growth – Healing from past wounds"Everyone Is An Addict."Whether it's substances, work, validation, or negative thinking, we all have something we struggle with.But recovery is possible, and transformation is real.

Scott Schara and the Medical Murder of Amazing Grace Grace Schara was a 19-year-old woman with Down Syndrome. Her life was one of love, laughter, and great experiences. Scott took her to the emergency room when she had COVID and her oxygen saturation had lowered into the 80% range. He was expecting the hospital to give her oxygen and maybe steroids. Instead they admitted her and then progressively began to take steps without his knowledge or consent that led to them overdosing her not once, not twice, but 3 times. On the second overdose, they had to resuscitate her. By the 3rd time, they had labeled her (WITHOUT HER FAMILY'S KNOWLEDGE OR PERMISSION) as "DNR" (do not resuscitate), so she was not revived. Losing a child is a terrible thing, but it is worse when you find out that it was not only preventable but that her death may have been intentionally caused. Scott has spent the last few years not only researching what happened to her but also fighting the hospital in court. While he lost the court case, he has not lost heart. He is on a mission to educate people on what CAN happen to them in the hospital - without their knowledge or consent. Listen to this episode to find out how you can protect yourself and your loved ones!

The Willis Tower, formerly the Sears Tower in Chicago, can sway 3 feet in either direction. And astonishingly, if you're at the top of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world, you could find yourself swaying up 6.6 feet! Why? Because the architects and engineers who designed them know that high winds and earthquakes will sway and shake these colossal structures. So, they designed them to be able to endure the unexpected. This week we begin a new series called Unshakeable where we're working verse-by-verse through the New Testament letter of Philippians. In it, the Apostle Paul teaches us how to live unshakable lives in King Jesus, lives that can endure whatever life throws at us with joy and peac...

Amazing Grace: What We Don't DeserveFor it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 NIVGrace Is More Common Than You Think (Common Grace) He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. Matthew 5:45 (NIV)Grace is More Than Forgiveness: Forgiveness is something God does; Grace is part of who He is.The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. Psalm 103:8-14 NIV3. Saving Grace Is SpecificAbram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness. Genesis 15:6 NIVFor it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV

This sermon reflects on Jesus' parable in Matthew 20:1-16, highlighting God's astonishing generosity and grace. Using the story of the vineyard laborers, we're reminded that salvation is a gift, not a wage, and that God's Kingdom runs on mercy, not merit. Our response should be gratitude, humility, and trust in his perfect providence and unending grace. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

I have to admit, I am not a graceful person. In my first Christmas break of college, my mother lined up private lessons with a woman who coached me on how to be graceful. Now, for my mother to spend money on such lessons was an indication of how much help I needed! I was not then—and still am not to this day—graceful. But I'm happy to report that though I may never be graceful, I can be grace-full—full of grace. That is not contingent on my agility or nimbleness or any physical attributes. It is, instead, contingent on my openness to the grace of God and my willingness to let it fill my life. In writing of our Savior, John says, The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:14). Jesus was and still is full of grace. As believers in Jesus Christ, you and I are in the process of being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory. We are to be filled with his Spirit, and therefore, we have the incredible opportunity to be filled with grace. Like Jesus, we can be full of grace. When asked what the one thing that sets apart Christianity from all other religions, C. S. Lewis responded, “Oh, that's easy. It's grace.”  No other religion offers God's love and redemption coming to us free of charge, as a gift, no strings attached, no performance required, no standards to meet. Only Christianity dares to make God's love unconditional. That's because Christianity has the only qualified Savior, Jesus Christ. I want to encourage you to become very intentional about being a woman—or a man—who is grace-full; full of God's grace. It must become more than a cliché, more than words we say or songs we sing. God's grace needs to permeate every corner of our being so we are living examples of his grace. And then, when we are full of God's grace, we can become grace dispensers. The song, “Amazing Grace,” is sung all over the world by people who have no understanding of its message of salvation through Jesus. But the idea of grace appeals to everyone. But what does it mean for you and me in our world today to live grace-full lives? What does that look like? I'd like to give you the ABCs of grace-full living. Here is “A”: A- Abundant Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10b).  Jesus wasn't talking about being full of money, earthly success, or freedom from problems. He was talking about a life that is grace-full! In 2 Corinthians 9:8 we read: And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. When the grace of God fills us, then it must flow out to others in the form of good works. What good works? The good works you were created to do. Ephesians 2:10 says, We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Here are a few examples of how we dispense grace to others: Someone is sick; you minister to their needs. Someone is rejoicing over good news; you rejoice with them. Someone has a broken heart. You cry with them, listen to them, sit with them, and console them. Someone is wandering away from God. You confront them in love, admonish them, and help them to come back into fellowship. Someone is lost in sin, without Christ. You share the gospel in every way you can, lovingly planting seeds of truth in her life. Someone needs financial help. You give out of love and concern. You teach the Word of God in a small group; you organize prayer for your company; you begin a Bible study at work or at home; you invite others to hear the Word of God. These are just a few ways we become grace dispensers to others, abounding in good works. I can testify to you from personal experience that the abundant life Jesus promised us comes in knowing God is using you in the lives of...

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 24th of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the Book of Galatians 3:1: “O foolish Galatians!” (Oh foolish John! Oh foolish Mary! Oh foolish Jenny! Oh foolish Matthew!) We go down then to verse 2: “This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?”Yes, what we are asking ourselves is a question. We started this race in the Spirit, remember Jesus saved us. Remember, we were falling apart, we had come to the end, we couldn't go on anymore. We cried out to God, and He saved us. Now He has restored us! Have we now forgotten where we came from? Sometimes it is good to look back and remind yourself that if it wasn't for the Lord, I would be lost indeed. Don't try and finish the job that you started in the Spirit by doing it in your own strength. That is what the Lord is saying. That is why that hymn that is so popular, Amazing Grace - that's what it's all about. John Newton found the Lord. Remember how it went?“Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; I was blind, but now I see.”You were blind, you called out to God, He saved you, He saved me. Now that we can see, let us not go back to where we came from.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Send us a textAmazing GraceAmazing Grace | How Sweet The Sound Pastor Jerrid FletcherJune 8, 2025This message invites us to move beyond familiarity with the hymn and into a fresh encounter with the depth, power, and beauty of God's grace. With vivid storytelling, generational faith, and a compelling walk through Romans 1-3, we are reminded that grace isn't just a lyric or doctrine - it's the rescue mission of heaven for every soul who has fallen short. And according to Romans 3:23-24, that is all of us.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Where has grace met you in your own story? Think about a time in your life when you were at your lowest, weakest, or most lost—how did God's grace show up? How did that experience shift your understanding of who God is and how He loves?2. Which form of pride has threatened your ability to receive or extend grace? There are many: thinking we can earn grace, believing others don't deserve it, or trying to “pay God back.” In what ways has pride crept into your relationship with God or others? What would it look like to surrender that pride and rest in grace instead?3. Can you recognize grace in your everyday moments? Grace isn't just something we receive at salvation—it follows us into kitchens, boardrooms, text messages, and traffic jams. What everyday graces might you be overlooking right now? How could growing in gratitude help you become more aware of it?4. Forgiveness is one of the hardest expressions of grace—but also one of the most Christ-like. Is there someone you've withheld grace from because you believed they didn't deserve it? How might your extension of grace reflect the grace God has extended to you?5. What does Romans 3:23–24 reveal about our identity and our worth? This verse declares both the truth of our brokenness and the beauty of our justification. How does knowing you've been "justified freely" change how you view yourself? Does it impact how you approach others, worship, or even failure?

It's a 3 stringer in DG and in a style that dates to the 18th cent. The songs are Un Canadien Errant, the wandering Canadian, which was written in 1842 as a lament for rebels exiled from Canada after the failed Lower Canada Rebellion, 1837-8. The 2nd is A La Claire Fontaine, by the clear Spring, which dates back to 1604 and was originally a song of lost love but also become a resistance song after the British takeover following the F&I War. I wanted to learn some French Canadian song for French reenactors at vous and the Battle of PDC Wi. since a unit portraying the one that fought in that siege would come from Canada to participate in the event as it neared the 250th anniversary of the battle. From Ryan Kirk: Mary Scott Hey Jeremy here's a quick run at Oswald's variations on Mary Scott, a tune I learned from your podcast! I [am playing] an Aulos plastic [flute], copy of a 18th century Grenser. Very nice Instrument for the price. Thought about a wood one but humidity control in our old house is not great. From Dave Rowlands: This is 'La Bernardina' by Josquin des Pres (1450-1521). Not known as a composer for bagpipes, but the leading composer of his time. I have chosen this because a) it is a new find for me, b) because if pipers had access to this music and good instruments they would have played it, and c) because we should not be hidebound to 'tradition', just because it does not come from a bagpiping tradition, does not mean we cant play it, and i cite Amazing Grace as just one case. This is played by Three Swayne D pipes, and one Swayne G pipe. I hope you like it and include it. Best wishes, Dave R From Charlie Rutan: Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle is the traditional Italian Christmas carol played by zampognari. Originally called 'Quanno Nascente Ninno', it was written down in 1754 by St Alphonsus Ligouri, with text in the Neapolitan language: and became so popular that it was later translated into Italian and became 'TU SCENDI DALLE STELLE', undergoing several small changes in its melody during that process. The melody probably existed in various forms for several centuries prior to its 1754 transcription, and is still a basis for many improvised PASTORELLES by zampognari today. I'm playing both Ciaramella ( the Italian folk oboe) and Sei Palmi Zampogna on this track. 'Sei palmi' refers to the length of the instrument's longest chanter, measured by the outsretched palm of the pipe maker's hand, much like the 'cubit' of the ancient world. Zampongne have existed in this form since at least the early 1300's; where we have evidence of the instrument being played in frescoes dated to that time. The zampogna is endemic to southern Italy, exists in about 20 different iterations in several sizes, and is a thriving bagpipe tradition to this day.

Grace is the totally unmerited, unearned, unwarranted favor of God. Simply put, it is the forgiveness based upon the love of God to us. We cannot earn it.

Patricia believes that the best way into tough subjects is through comedy and this movie does just that.
