W. Austin Gardner

The Followed By Mercy PodcastReal Grace, Honest HopeYou might notice a new name and a fresh look, but the heart behind this podcast is the same. After years as the World Evangelism Podcast, I sensed God leading me to a deeper, more personal path centered on His relentless mercy and the kind of honest hope that can reach into every hurting place. That’s why this show is now called Followed By Mercy Podcast. The format may shift, and the tone may be a bit more personal, but my mission hasn’t changed:

Send us a text God’s Unconditional Love for Everyone God is not against you. He is for you. Always has been. The truth is, we’re the ones who drift. We run from Him, doubt Him, or ignore Him. But even then, His love never stops. It keeps chasing us. God’s love doesn’t depend on how good we are or how many mistakes we’ve made. It’s steady. It’s sure. It’s unconditional.

2025/12/15

Send us a text Christmas isn’t about us reaching up to God, but about God coming to live with us? The Word who created galaxies and then shared our skin, our hunger, our fears, and even our accents. The incarnation made clear: love that comes close.

Eyes Opened To What God Has Done

Send us a text What if the most important prayer spoken over your life wasn’t for a promotion, a healing, or a quick way out of trouble, but for your eyes to open to what you already have in Christ?

He asks that we would finally see the Father as He truly is, recognize the hope wrapped up in our calling, and rest in the power that raised Jesus from the dead.

From Hopeless Distance to Nearness Paul reminds Gentile believers that they once stood separated from Christ, cut off from Israel’s commonwealth and the covenants of promise, “having no hope and without God in the world.” Remembering that former distance is not to keep them in shame but to magnify the sheer mercy of God in bringing them near.
