In this gripping episode of Faith That Finished, we tell the astonishing redemption story of John Newton, a former slave ship captain whose life was transformed by the very grace he once mocked. Once a profane sailor and active participant in the transatlantic slave trade, Newton’s hardened heart seemed beyond redemption. But a violent storm at sea forced him to confront death — and the mercy of God.This episode follows Newton’s descent into moral darkness and his gradual awakening to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Though his conversion did not immediately end his involvement in the slave trade, his conscience was steadily reshaped by Scripture, repentance, and conviction. Eventually becoming a pastor and outspoken abolitionist, Newton used his voice to condemn the evil he once defended. Out of his broken past came one of the most beloved hymns in history: Amazing Grace.Faith That Finished reveals how no sin is too deep for God’s mercy and no past too dark for redemption. John Newton’s life is a sobering reminder that true repentance produces transformation — and that grace not only forgives, it changes everything. This episode will challenge listeners to examine the depth of their own surrender and the reach of God’s saving power.🔑 KEYWORD PHRASES (10)John NewtonAmazing GraceChristian redemptionformer slave traderabolition movementrepentance and faithgrace of GodChristian transformationFinish The Racefaith that finishedSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
