Ep. 4 - Greater Than

Aaron Payne, Jarod Smith

This week’s Talkback episode takes a deeper look at Greater Than, a message on grace from our Radical Life series. Jesus said that John the Baptist was the greatest man ever born, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. That truth challenges our perspective, especially when we often give the highest playback to our lowest performances. We discuss how God sees us differently than we see ourselves, how comparison distorts grace, and why identity in Christ frees us from self-condemnation. The conversation also unpacks the difference between guilt and conviction—one keeps us stuck, the other inspires action and repentance. We highlight the importance of spending time in God’s Word as the foundation for hearing His voice, rather than chasing sound bites or viral content. Real discernment comes not from reacting to headlines, but from meditating on the living Word. With humor, honesty, and depth, this Talkback reminds us that grace positions us for more than we could ever imagine.
