About this episode
This episode discusses the distinction between God's grace and the consequences of poor choices, using the story of Samson as a reference.
Judges 16 tells us that Samson makes a terrible choice, escapes an ambush, and rips the city gates out of the ground. God delivers him, but Samson never changes. If you’ve ever confused God’s grace for permission to keep doing what you’re doing, this episode is for you.
