Welcome to the Fingerprint 2 Marriage Ministry podcast — where ministry meets family, healing meets purpose, and legacy begins at home.

In this opening episode of our new 6-week Bible study series, Pastor Jonathon Penney teaches from his book Faith That Grows Strong: Belief, Trust, Commitment. Today’s focus is on the foundation of salvation — justified faith, not works.

We’re diving deep into Romans 3:28 and Ephesians 2:8–10 to expose the difference between striving and surrendering. If you've been trying to "earn" God's love — stop surviving and start surrendering. Your salvation is not earned — it’s received by faith in Jesus Christ alone.

Key Themes:

• What is saving faith?

• The trap of works-based religion

• How justified faith reshapes your family, marriage, and calling

• Striving vs. surrender: walking in finished grace

• How a justified believer raises a faith-filled home

Episode Goal:To help you understand that salvation is a gift received by faith — and to start living in the freedom, humility, and wholeness that comes from grace alone.
