Does it Still Count? When Faith Arrives at the Last Second

What happens when faith shows up at the finish line?

In this episode of Faith It ’Til You Make It, I wrestle out loud with a question that makes many of us uncomfortable: Does faith still count if it comes at the very end? What if belief feels fear-driven, half-formed, or like a last-ditch attempt to avoid the unknown? And what do we do with the tension between grace and fairness?

Inspired by a recent conversation about death-bed conversions, this episode walks through scripture, personal reflection, and honest doubt to explore what the Bible actually says about salvation, motivation, timing, and grace. We look at stories like the thief on the cross, Jesus’ teachings on grace, and the uncomfortable truth that faith is not measured by longevity or effort—but by direction.

This episode isn’t about passing judgment on someone else’s story. It’s about examining our own beliefs, our assumptions about fairness, and whether we trust God’s mercy more than our measurements.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• Can faith come too late?

• Does motivation matter when it comes to salvation?

• Why grace feels unsettling when it isn’t “earned”

• Or what happens when belief arrives at the last possible second

…this episode invites you into the tension, not away from it.

Because grace doesn’t need perfect timing.
It just needs a turn toward Jesus.
