Charlie reads through his book Simply By Grace with a special guest interview and discussion time at the end of the podcast.
In this podcast Charlie reads through Chapter 9 - A New Accountability. When a person believes in Christ for salvation, who do they have to answer to and what should their motivation be to serve Christ? How do rewards fit into this? Should they be motivated by works or by grace or by rewards?
Contrary to common belief, grace doesn't teach license; some people think an emphasis on Grace will produce a Christian who will live however they want. These people motivate a believer from the negative, often making them believe if they don't do good works, salvation must not have been bestowed upon the believer.
But this misunderstands grace. Grace teaches us to be responsible for the grace we have received. Charlie addresses this and focuses on the positive and negative motivations to serve.
At the end he speaks with Dr. Roger Fankhauser on the motivations for serving and how to deal with sin in your life and in the lives of others. He is a former pastor and author of several books on topics of grace and serving God.

Charlie's book, Simply by Grace is an easy-to-read introduction to a core Christian belief. By looking at the major questions and issues that surround the concept of grace, Charlie helps readers understand and appreciate this God-given gift and how simple it really is. "Because only when you understand the simplicity of His grace, can you begin to understand its deep riches also."
