Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Kathryn Wright and Ken Yates are answering a question about the possibility of a false conversion. If someone purportedly becomes eternally saved, but there is never any obedience to the Lord or change of life, how can we call this a genuine conversion?
