As pastors and ministry leaders, why is it often easier for us to preach and teach about the concept of grace than it is to live in the fullness of God's grace? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Joby Martin. Joby is the founder and lead pastor of The Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville, Florida. His most recent book is entitled Run Over By The Grace Train. Together, Joby and Jason look at some of the challenges we have as ministry leaders when it comes to experiencing God's grace. They look at issues such as comparison traps, performance mentality, and others that often trip us up. Joby also shares some biblical insights and some ideas and practices that can help us truly experience the fullness of living in Christ as we serve His Church.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:

Joby Martin on the transformative nature of grace, especially when contrasted with the values and behaviors typically seen in the world around us: "Grace is so countercultural to everything else you and I have ever experienced in our daily lives.’"

Joby Martin on the connection between honesty and personal freedom: "You'll never learn to be free until you learn to be honest."

Joby Martin on the detrimental effects of comparing one’s ministry or work to others: "Comparison kills ministry more than anything else in the world."
