New York City pastor and millennial influencer, Chris Durso explores the power of God's grace to free us from the crippling grip of shame. Durso compares the sacrificial death of Jesus to a daring heist; one in which our souls were reclaimed from shame, sin, and Satan. When Jesus defeated the powers of this world on the cross, he stole from Satan any residual claim on our souls. The true scandal of grace is found not necessarily in what it gives, but rather in what it steals. Grace robs the Enemy of his ability to shame us. It robs death of its sting. And it robs sin of its power to destroy. The beauty of God's grace is that it removes from us any right to hold onto crutches, vices, and substitute gods. By offering a fresh and unique perspective, Chris sheds much needed light on the message of grace. For Chris, grace is not one possible message among many; it is THE message of all of Scripture. It is the story of God for all of us.
