Welcome to the Pristine Grace website

Pristine Grace exists for believers who love Christ but are worn down by religious expectations, church politics, and shallow answers to deep spiritual struggles. This is a quiet place for Scripture-centered reflection on Christ, the Gospel, and what it means to live as a Christian in a fallen world, without hype, controversy, or spiritual posturing.

The teaching here is rooted in the historic Christian emphasis on God’s sovereign grace. Salvation is God’s work from beginning to end, and real Christian growth flows from rest in Christ rather than religious striving. These messages are not debates or reaction content, but careful, pastoral reflections meant to bring clarity, humility, and assurance to believers.

Here you’ll find thousands of written articles and sermons, along with video teachings, all grounded in Scripture and shaped by real life. Pristine Grace is maintained by Brandan Kraft, a Christian writer and speaker for nearly 30 years. The site began in 1997 and continues to publish new teachings and reflections regularly.

If you’re looking for faithful Christian teaching that centers on Christ’s finished work and God’s gracious initiative, rather than performance-driven religion, you’re in the right place.

Podcast

The Pristine Grace Podcast features plain-spoken, long-form reflections on Scripture, theology, and Christian life. Rooted in God’s sovereign grace, the aim is not pressure, performance, or having everything figured out, but rest and assurance in Christ. While grounded in sovereign grace, the podcast does not treat salvation as dependent on theological precision, nor does it dismiss all who differ as being outside of Christ. The approach is pastoral: to open the Scriptures honestly, to encourage humility and faith, and to point listeners to rest in Christ.

Videos on YouTube are in 4K. Videos on Facebook and Sermon Audio are in 1080p. If you prefer listening only or watching without ads, you can also access the podcast through Sermon Audio, where videos and MP3 files are available for download. We are also on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
