About Saving Grace

God calls us to influence our world with the truth of God’s love, a love that cannot be earned and cannot be lost. Sharing God’s love with others requires that we first grasp His love for us. Saving Grace provides the listener opportunity to hear inspiring interviews with experts as well as everyday people who love Jesus and want others to know and experience that love and the abundant life Jesus spoke about.
