Grace Moments

Life is full of impossibilities. It's so easy to get overwhelmed and think that because a certain situation is beyond our own ability to solve, then it must be too big for God to handle as well. In this final episode of Season 4, we'll unpack the necessity of learning to deal with the giants in our lives, taking an example from the story of David and Goliath on what it means to face your f...

Who or what you give homage to is what rules your life. Whatever things or people or ideas are the most important to you reveal where your priorities are, regardless of what your words say. So often, we can think that we have our desires in order, yet it's very easy to place even good things are being of greater value than the most important thing of all: where you stand with God. And healing...

Many of us say we believe God has our best in mind but fail to live on a daily basis like it's true. Because human beings and events often disappoint us, we think that God will be the same way. Or we're afraid of what His best will turn out to be and what we may have to let go of in order to accept it. This episode aims to shift your perspective and help you see that, when you truly believ...

Some things in your life have outlived their welcome. They no longer serve you. They belong to a past version of you or season of your life that you aren't in now and they are holding you back from becoming who you want to be. This week's episode tackles how to let go of the things that are no longer useful to your growth and health and why it matters that you do a regular internal roundup...

When hard times come, it can be difficult to notice and look for the loving presence of God. Pain often masquerades His care in ways that cause us to question or doubt His compassion or guidance, leaving us adrift in our faith and losing out on hope. This episode walks you through how to trace God's care and why Psalm 107 holds the key to getting through suffering with thankfulness and coming...

So much of life and relationships today are transactional: you can offer me a certain service or skill or advice that I need and I'm invested for as long as need that but as soon as it's no longer necessary, I'm no longer obligated to cultivate our connection. While this is fine in certain corporate or workplace situations, it becomes a problem when it's the approach to marriage, friendship, faith...

Life is full of what ifs - unknowns and potential threats that can generate deep insecurity and anxiousness. Our brains are wired for security and protection. But when we begin to obsess over the what ifs and they start to become the lens through which we view everything, we lose out on much of the meaning and presentness and beauty of life. We are so concerned about avoiding pain and problems tha...

Everything about our world is structured for disappointment and negativity. Most of the things we're regularly presented with program us toward fear and impossibility rather than hope and opportunity. But faith gives us another answer and presents us with a choice to see and live differently. This episode will help you recenter your dreams and begin to live with purpose and expectation instead of...

What do we do when people let us down? When we find ourselves shocked by a sudden failure in love or trust, is our response one of condemnation and surprise or one of reality and understanding? It's not easy to forgive or let go of relationships that you thought you could trust and it's even harder to feel like you can trust God when someone has hurt you deeply. This episode will recenter...

Join the podcast today for a deep dive into the role that leaders play in the mental health of those they influence and guide: the culture they create, the care they give, the character they show all contribute to the level of safety and wellbeing those they lead experience and how that impacts their personal lives.

It's easy to pray for a move of God... but have you personally positioned yourself to feel and see it when it happens? It's easy to pray big prayers but even harder still to exercise the faith that they really can come to fruition by the grace of God. This week's episode is a challenge to align yourself with where the winds of God's Spirit are moving so that you don't miss the...

So often, we find ourselves exchanging our truest self for a version of ourselves that is neither real nor authentic. In an effort to fit in, we betray who we really are or want to be and compromise or ignore key parts of our life and our story that, eventually, leave us feeling empty, lost, and unfulfilled. This episode lays out why each of us needs to come home to ourselves and accept the true u...

We live in a very impatient world that demands instant responses and results at every turn. Being able to sit with the mystery or uncertainty of situations that are not-so-easily solved or understood can be very difficult. But in order to truly discover the meaning behind things we go through, sometimes that process takes time. Sometimes the best answer is to just...wait. Today's episode will...

So many of the triggers and reactions we experience in our daily lives can be tied to a bigger, deeper issue - something that's never been addressed or fully healed that continues to rear it's ugly head over and over until we finally get up the courage to face it. Like a "check engine" light in a car, our body sends us warning signs which, if paid attention to, can save us and ot...

The world today offers many definitions and pictures of what love looks like. And many people have also been presented with a flawed and failed idea of love based on their lived experience. So what does love actually look like? And is it possible to still believe in, live by, and look for the real thing in a broken world? This episode dives into the true definition of love and why it matters that...

So much about life is unpredictable and the things we think we know about ourselves, others, life, and God are changing all the time. Nothing stays the same and sometimes, realizing that you didn't know something or someone as well as you thought you did can be humbling. It can also be something that shakes your faith when it feels like the version of life as you knew it is falling apart. So w...

When it feels like God is distant... When problems seem to press so hard... When it appears like hope is a myth... Where can you find those little reminders that point you to a bigger purpose behind the painful challenges? This episode discusses how God leaves tangible evidence of His loving care that can keep us grounded in the midst of times when it feels like He isn't near. When it's ha...

Partnering with a spirit of complaint is a very serious matter for anyone's mental health and especially, for the life of a person of faith. Choosing to focus on the good in spite of the reality of the hard requires an activation of your hope and a conscious act of the will. But doing so leads to not only peace of mind but also tremendous health benefits. This episode unpacks the detrimental i...

How do we maintain hope when the surface of things feels so dead and hard? How can we change our perspective on the winter seasons of our hearts and instead, begin to view them as full of possibility instead of hindrances to the life we wish we had?

It can be hard to hold onto a promise of fresh beginnings when things still appear to be falling apart.

So often, Christmas is a time of familiarity, tradition. Yet, in that familiar, we can often forget to look deeper into the heart of the Reason for the season. The message the angels delivered on that night to those shepherds isn't just some feel-good tale from the past but a story with an announcement that changed everything. In this special Christmas episode, we uncover the deeper truths of...

Our bodies are wired for trust. Everything we do is built upon some level of confidence that something or someone will come through for us how we expect. So what happens when it feels as though you've been let down? Even more, what happens when you think God has disappointed you? And how can we build back trust when so much in life feels uncertain and unreliable? Listen to today's episode...

When you're going through a season that's especially lonely, hard, or confusing, it's important to remember that God doesn't need you to pull yourself together in order to come to Him for comfort and peace.
