Earning vs. Effort: The Line We All Wrestle With

What happens when you try to live for Jesus but still find yourself trying to earn His approval? In this honest (and hilarious) episode of Cornerstone Conversations, Josh and Trevor talk about the difference between working for grace and living from it. From Philippians to football, Romans to real wounds, they unpack how salvation is a gift—but growth takes grit. It’s not about earning, it’s about responding.

Along the way, they ask the tough questions: What’s really sitting on the throne of your heart? Are you Martha or Mary these days? And… which Bible story would make the most awkward church play of all time? (Spoiler: it involves garments and the buttocks.) Whether you’re a seasoned believer or just wrestling with faith, this episode will leave you laughing—and thinking deeply about what it means to truly follow Jesus.
