You don't have to clean yourself up before you come to Jesus (and you couldn't even if you tried). In this raw and hope-filled episode, Marcus Brandenburg joins us to unpack Romans 3: 23 and the life-changing truth that we cannot save ourselves. From growing up in a broken home to serving in the military to now working at a nationwide student ministry, Marcus shares how God pursued him through it all. His story is a living picture of grace—of what it means to be met in our mess and transformed by a Savior who does all the saving. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ve gone too far,” or “I’ll come to God once I get it together,” this one’s for you.
(If you like wolf shirts, this one's also for you.)
