Mike Q. Daniel LIVE!

Howdy Gracers! Welcome to Ep. #889 : “Calibrating Your Next Season in Christ” Join us for a new week of fresh grace and coffee on Mike Q. Daniel LIVE! with the Grace Tribe as we count our days a little differently than the world does—and increasingly discover the depth of real life in Christ. Let’s lean into the season we’re in, not to earn, achieve, or catch up—but to trust, receive, and walk wit...

Welcome to Ep. #888 !  We all have days when we feel like we’ve been emotionally kicked in the teeth, right?  Where one small emotional hit is tolerable, but that tender bruise then sets you up to be hurt again and more and more, and by the end of the hour or the day or halfway through what feels like a long season, it just feels like a string of trauma, attack, and abandonment.  What do we do wit...

Welcome to Ep. #88 7: “Will You or Won’t You Follow Someone’s Will for You? “  We’re talking about God ‘s will, and the enemies will and our will and what our choices are and aren’t for life on this planet.  It’s a big deal and a fun conversation and one you really shouldn’t miss!  Let’s pour the coffee and look to Christ as life as we dive into this awesome topic and are inspired by his life and...

Welcome to Ep. #886 : “Newness NOT Replacement (questioning Christ as you)”.  We are taking a hard look at the Christ in you, through you, as you, paradigm and making sense of HOW WE ACTUALLY live in and from Christ. 

Welcome to Ep. #885 : “Getting Real with Grace Life”!   Today we’re answering some heartfelt questions from the Grace Tribe: — Do I have to go to church if I’m free from religion? — Is God punishing me—or somehow parenting me? — How do I honor an abusive parent? And more!

EP. #884 – Is salvation JUST Christ Consciousness or you co-crucified? Johnny asked about the popular & growing notion of Christ consciousness—and today we’re unpacking why that’s not just misguided, but heresy.  We’ll tackle how dangerous it is to bend Scripture around personal preference, and why true grace doesn’t overlook sin—it overcomes it.  Join us for a little coffee and a lot of grace...

Welcome to EP. #883 – “The Best Part About the Christian Life” Grab your coffee and come hang out for a few minutes as we keep the main thing the main thing.  Because when that’s in place… all the other things somehow fall just as they should.  Time to share a little coffee and a lot of grace. Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to Ep. #882 : “The PLUS Problem”  We all want a bit more, don’t we?  Want more from life? Yeah—me too.  What is God up to when the circumstances seem to fall short?   Mike's sharing some of his thoughts today from Steve Pettit's last talk from the conference this weekend, and it will wonderfully set our sights on Christ as Life by grace today!

Welcome to Ep. #881 — “Seeing a what We're Missing” Ever feel like you’re walking in circles when you’re trying to follow God in a straight line? What if the problem isn’t the path—it’s the map?

Welcome to Ep. #880 — “Mozart & the Ears to Hear” (Series: The Sacred Everyday) What if the most beautiful truths don’t shout… they whisper?  Today we’re talking music, grace, resentment, and why some of us play the notes of faith but miss the music of Life. Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear”—but real hearing isn’t about always as automatic as we might think. 

Welcome to Ep. #879 : "Let's Chat About the Goodness of God!" Is God good?  How do you know?  How sure are you? Can you be MORE sure?  Can I ask more questions in a row like this?!  lol!  

Ep. #878 — “The Right Work When You’re Already Right with God “ Grab a coffee and join Mike and the Grace Tribe for a fresh look at work, rest, trust… and what it really means to walk with God today in the bustle and hurt of the world.

Welcome to Ep. #877 : “You’re So Right You Can Afford to be Wrong!”  Ever feel like you’re constantly defending yourself—explaining, proving, justifying… even to yourself when no one asked?  Or even by over responding or reacting or feeling defensive?  Self-justices?  Just generally crabby? Maybe it’s not the conversation that’s exhausting. Maybe it’s the courtroom in your head.

Woohoo - it’s Triber Tuesday! Welcome to Ep. #876 : “Triber Tuesday w/ guest Neil Pledger!”   Neil is a pastor and shepherd in the UK with a huge heart and unique perspective in grace.  You’re gonna love hearing his heart and insight as Mike and Neil talk about a whole lot of grace over a little bit of coffee. OK, maybe more than a little. Pour a cup, join in with us, & get this day started ri...

Welcome to Ep. #875 : “Oh How RIGHT You Are! Getting Right About Righteousness” What if the pressure you feel to be “right with God” isn’t coming from Him at all? In today’s honest and grace-filled devotional, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most quietly exhausting lies Christians believe.

Welcome to Ep. 874 - “Let REAL Freedom Ring: Living Loud from Grace” What if freedom wasn’t a concept, you affirmed… but a reality you embodied? What if grace didn’t just get you out of prison… but gave you a voice that echoed like a bell? What would your life look like—if you really believed you were free?  Not someday. Not eventually. Now.

Welcome to Ep. #873 — “Safe to Follow: Well-Led Liberty”  (Series: Truly Free — Liberty by Grace) We say we want freedom in Christ—but let’s be honest… sometimes it’s terrifying. No formulas. No guarantees. No spiritual guardrails. Just grace. Just Jesus. And that much liberty can feel like too much risk. What if I mess it up? What if others do? How do you feel safe when nothing’s keeping you in c...

Welcome to Ep. #872 — “The Reality of Freedom and the True Hope of Glory” ~ (Series: Truly Free: Liberty by Grace) What if the thing we call “freedom” leaves us more anxious than anchored?  If yesterday was about declaring liberty, today we wrestle with what actually holds it together.  Is grace enough? Is Christ really sufficient—not just to save, but to sustain?

Welcome to Ep. #871 — “Signed in Blood: The Declaration That Frees” (Series: Truly Free — Liberty by Grace) We talk about freedom a lot—especially this week. But if we’re already free in Christ… why don’t we live like it? Why does shame still feel like our native language? Why do we still second-guess grace, tiptoe through forgiveness, and secretly wonder if we’re on spiritual probation? With Inde...

Welcome to Ep. #870 — Sharpening the Saw: Thinking Well as Worship Why do we so often react without reflection… consume without clarity… absorb without asking if it’s even true? If your mind is meant to be a vessel for grace, how do you steward it in a world of noise?  How might we as Christ-indwelt children of God grow in wisdom and truth without striving in flesh?

Welcome to Ep. #869 — Seek to Engage Deeply, Then Usefully Why is it so hard to just be present with someone—without fixing, preaching, or explaining? How might Christ’s presence in you change how you are with others today?

Welcome to Ep. #868 — Begin with the Grace in Mind What do you do when the finish line disappears? How do you move forward when you can’t see how it ends… or when it doesn’t look like what you imagined? Is it possible to live with confidence—even when the outcome is unclear?

Welcome to Ep. #867 — The Power of Divine Initiative Happy Monday! What if the biggest obstacle in your life… isn’t just about what’s happening to you, but what you’re waiting for? While everyone is waiting for someone or something, as they delay, deflect, and do the bare minimum, you’ve been equipped to go live a different kind of life.  This isn’t worldly ambition or taking charge. It’s holy act...

Welcome to Ep. #866 — “Another Christ Life Q&A Day” (Spiritual conversation over Grace & Coffee) Today we’re leaning into more honest, thoughtful questions about life in Christ: • When and where is God in control or in charge? • Can we actually meet our own spirit? • Aren’t we still transactional with God when verses like Deuteronomy 28 say blessing depends on obedience? • Isn’t the one do...

Welcome to Ep. #865 Grace Tribe Q&A!  (Series: Grace & Coffee Conversations) We are dealing with relationships, spiritual life, and biblical clarity in a handful of interesting topics today!  Can we understand what God controls? What does it mean to honor a parent who’s caused deep pain? How do two spirits become one—like God’s and mine? Was Judas ever really free to walk away?  And what i...
