That's Grace Podcast

It’s easy for faith to become something we believe, but God wants to build a faith in us that actually changes who we become. The first followers of Jesus in Thessalonica became an example of what happens when ordinary people respond to the work God is doing in them. Discover the kind of faith God wants to produce in you—a faith that changes how you live, how you love others, and how you keep goin...

There are parts of us we’d rather not look at too closely. Sin we excuse. Wrong motivations we defend. Patterns we explain away because confronting them would mean admitting something needs to change. In this week’s message, Robb Hollifield challenges us to pray the dangerous prayer, “Search me,” and invite God to reveal what’s really happening beneath the surface. Not to bring guilt and shame, bu...

What if God's plan for your life is actually better than yours? We want God's help, guidance, and blessing, but when His plan starts pulling us in a different direction than the one we've chosen, that's where the struggle begins. We want God to help us with our plans more than we want His plans for us. In this message, Riccardo Simon explores one of the most challenging prayers in...

What are you asking God for right now? A better job, more security, a bigger opportunity, or a little more breathing room? Most of us have something we're looking toward that feels like it'll make life better. But what if getting exactly what you want isn't actually what's best for you? In this message, Taylor Knopp explores the prayer, "Give me just enough," and challeng...

There’s a difference between asking God to help your life… and asking Him to change you. We’re okay with growth when it feels manageable or lines up with what we already want. But the moment growth starts requiring surrender, releasing control, or letting go of things we’ve grown comfortable holding onto… we hesitate. Because the prayers that change you most are usually the ones you’re afraid God...

Life can start to feel like one long cycle of routines and responsibilities. It's easy to think following Jesus happens in big moments while everyday life is just something to get through. But what if faith actually grows in the ordinary moments we tend to overlook? In this message, you'll discover what following Jesus looks like in real life and why your everyday life may matter more than...

You want to trust God… until His plans start disrupting yours. Faith is easy when it fits neatly into the life you already planned. But following Jesus often means trusting Him before you have all the answers. This message explores what it looks like to trust God when life takes an unexpected turn and why growth often happens in the interruptions we never would’ve chosen ourselves. If your faith h...

I want my faith to be more than just something I believe. I want to know what God actually wants to do with my life. But then that voice kicks in… you don’t have time, you don’t know enough, you’re not ready for that. So you wait. In this message, we talk about what it actually looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life. Not when things change, but right now. Because God isn’t waiting for a diffe...

Getting distracted by life happens to all of us. Life gets full. Schedules fill up. Comfort takes over. There’s nothing wrong with building a good life, but when the next thing in front of us becomes the main thing, it’s easy to miss what matters most. In this message, we unpack a story Jesus told that reveals the heart of God and the purpose He invites us into. It’s a reminder that we were made f...

You can believe in God and still try to manage everything. On the outside, your faith can look real—you show up, you care, you’re trying. But underneath it, there can still be a need to stay in control, to make things go your way, or to prove something. This message explores how easy it is to hold onto control without realizing it—and how that can keep your faith from actually changing your direct...

You can look like you’re following God… and still be hiding from Him. It’s easy to build a version of faith that looks right on the outside. But underneath it, there can be a gap between what we show and what’s actually true. God isn’t looking for a better version of you. He wants the real you. And when you stop trying to manage how you look and start being honest with Him, that’s where real chang...

Jesus didn’t just rise to be believed in—He rose as King. And that means your life isn’t just your own. In this message, we explore what it looks like to live under the authority of Jesus—not out of pressure, but trust. Because God’s will isn’t for us to stay in control, but to surrender, step into a purpose bigger than ourselves, and be part of what He’s doing in the world. This message will chal...

If Jesus really rose from the dead, what does that mean for your life today? For many of us, Easter is familiar. We’ve heard the story and maybe even believe it, but it can feel disconnected from everyday life. In this message, we explore why the resurrection is believable and why it still matters today. If it’s true, it has real implications for your life and how it could begin to change.

Have you ever felt like God isn’t doing what you expected? You’ve made space for faith in your life, but things still aren’t changing the way you hoped? You may not be rejecting Jesus outright, but you’re carrying the unmet expectations of who you thought He was and what He would do. In this message, Sean Sears walks through the story of Palm Sunday and shows how the same crowds who welcomed Jesus...

The people closest to you experience your life more than anyone else. They see how you handle stress, how you speak when you’re frustrated, and how you respond when things don’t go your way. Which raises an honest question: does your faith actually show up at home? This message explains how following Jesus reshapes our closest relationships. Faith isn’t meant to stay private or theoretical. When C...

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to fall back into the same patterns? The same reactions. The same habits, even when you genuinely want your life to move in a different direction. That tension raises an honest question many people wrestle with. If faith is supposed to change you, why do the old patterns keep showing up? In this message, Sean Sears explains what the Bible says about how real tr...

We live in a culture where almost everything is DIY,  including your faith. You can listen to sermons on your own. Pray on your own. Read your Bible on your own. It’s easy to assume that if you’re sincere and disciplined, you’ll grow. But what if that’s not how spiritual growth actually works? In this message, we discover why following Jesus was never meant to be a solo pursuit. If your faith has...

Most of us wouldn’t say it out loud, but we often live with quiet pressure to be a “good enough” Christian. We know God rescued us, but we feel like it’s now our job to stay strong, stay consistent, and not let Him down. When we struggle or fail, that pressure only grows. This message reminds us that the same God who brought us near is the one who keeps us close. We don’t belong to Him because of...

If you believe in God, or you are exploring faith, you may still wonder what is actually supposed to change. Following Jesus is not just about trying harder. It begins with God changing you from the inside out. So what does He change first? This message explains what God does when Jesus truly becomes the center of your life. It shows how God starts at the core by giving you a new identity, a new s...

Drifting away from God usually doesn’t happen all at once. It happens quietly, as life starts to feel more stable and urgency fades. Over time, trust in God can slowly be replaced with a sense of self-reliance. This message looks at a story from the Bible that challenges us to reflect on how success might be shaping us, where small compromises can quietly form, and how faith can drift when we stop...

Following God is supposed to make life clearer—but sometimes it does the opposite. You take a step of obedience, and instead of feeling safer, everything feels more uncertain. This message looks at a story in the Bible about Gideon, a man who faced that same tension. As he obeys God, the path forward doesn’t get easier—it gets riskier. Through his story, we see why fear isn’t a sign you’ve missed...

Trusting God can feel simple in theory, but much harder when obedience feels risky and the outcome is uncertain. Sometimes fear shows up after we take a step forward, leaving us wondering if our faith is too fragile or not strong enough. Through the story of Gideon, we see that God is not put off by honest faith that still has questions. He meets us where we are, strengthens the faith we bring Him...

We often want God’s help without His interference. We ask Him to fix what’s broken, remove the pain, and bring clarity—while still holding onto control, comfort, and autonomy. In this message, we see from the story of Gideon that before God moves to use us, He confronts what we’ve been protecting. Before Gideon steps into anything bigger, God forces a moment of honesty that exposes what’s competin...

Feeling unqualified can keep you hiding when God is actually calling you forward. This message looks at the story of Gideon—a man who feels afraid, overlooked, and unprepared—and shows how God meets him right there. God doesn’t wait for Gideon to feel confident or capable; He calls him to act before Gideon believes he’s ready. Faith doesn’t start with having it all together—it starts with trusting...

Christmas often promises peace and joy, yet many of us feel rushed, distracted, and overwhelmed instead. In this message from The Weary World Rejoices , Sean Sears explores why experiencing God during the holidays often starts with slowing down and making space. You’ll see how the Christmas story invites us to clear distractions and welcome God into the noise of everyday life. If your life feels f...
