Show Notes

Is it possible to forgive the corporate sin of other Christians who worship alongside you at church?

At a church where you served for 15 years on the pastoral staff?...

Even when you committed no discretion or moral failure?...

In Amazing Grace Talk's first international interview, host Erika Seamayer-Williamson sits down with a very special couple who are transplanted Texans...from Brazil. The journey of Cyllas and Thais Marins from their home country to the Dallas area is a story that perfectly illustrates why the AGT podcast exists. 

It's painful but heartfelt trail that touches all the bases of amazing grace. 

Forgiveness. Reconciliation. Redemption.

With endearing and winsome Brazilian accents, the Marins share their story of how God intervened in a big way, even moving them to the United States (with no working knowledge of English). Once in America, God also sent them back to a Bible college for more training. 

A few years before back in Brazil, the Marins were caught in the crossfire and aftermath of their lead pastor's moral failure. What made it so painful and personal was the fact their lead pastor was also Cyllas' own father.

As Cyllas was left to pick up the pieces, things turned even worse. He and Thais were subject to unthinkable betrayal, devastating ridicule, and abandoned relationships from their own friends and church members. 

When sin is discovered in the camp, the collateral damage within the Body of Christ is often too difficult to overcome. But by God's amazing grace, the Marins overcame...and today they are flourishing in their new ministry at Trinity Church in Cedar Hill, Texas.
