The Grace Raised Podcast

This week we dive into the word and learn from the Women who anointed Jesus and further talk through our posture of worship towards Jesus. Are we approaching Jesus from a place of what we can gain through Him or what mercy and grace that I ‘in my weakness in the decay of my flesh’ have already been redeemed and made righteous with Christ?  This is the power of Grace: it compels us to live out of u...

We are back for season 2!  What are we giving from? Are we giving to the Lord out of the abundance of our lives or are we giving Him all we have to live on? Join me this week for the first in a series on Women in the Gospels as we look at the story of the Widow who gave everything she had.  Examining our hearts, we dive into external versus internal and discuss the quantity versus quality of our s...

Finances and fear- where is God when He doesn't provide what you think you need? Join Riah for a discussion on walking out radical faith in the face of disappointments and letdowns. What do you do when  God doesn't provide for you in the ways you expect? What does the bible say about provision? What does God promise? What does He require of us in response?  Scripture References: Matthew...

Hello Friends,  This week on the Grace Raised Podcast join me as we discuss accountability and how our up-brinings, experiences, and traumas can affect how we receive discernment.  How does Grace and Judgement co-exist? Does our intent or our actions matter more? I share more about how my late diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder impacted my faith and how I have to be more aware to love others we...

In this episode, we delve into the profound ways in which religion and a personal relationship with God can marry and together help us better understand and appreciate God’s character and experience deeper spiritual growth. Join us as we explore the transformative power of faith, the importance of spiritual practices, and the benefits of religion in a world where religion is often experienced as o...

Welcome back, dear friends, to the space where vulnerability intersects with divine wisdom—The Grace Raised Podcast. I've been on a journey, a bit of a hiatus, where the stillness spoke volumes and the lessons learned were many. In a candid confession, I peel back the curtain to reveal the deep internal work God has been doing in my heart, touching on the surprising ways our strengths can som...

Did you grow up believing that you had to fit in the picture of righteousness; holding it all together, mascaraing around with all the piousness- a well-bred Christian?  Did you feel like you had to hold it together and present a picture of perfection? Were you afraid of messing up, forgetting things, making mistakes?  Me too.  I spent my life serving fear; my righteousness being tied to perfectio...

What is possibly more blasphemes in our culture then to claim our hearts and feelings are not the ultimate authority for our lives? Follow your heart? Whatever you feel is real or true? Is this mindset and theology a representation of our faith or is there something we are missing?  Is there possibly more joy and security in submitting our feelings to the authority of God? Join me this week for ou...

Pray for patience and God will give you opportunities to be patient. Pray for courage and expect opportunities to be courageous. Pray for humility and expect....what? Humiliation? Maybe not?

Did you know that the organized life does not always equate to a functional multi-tasker? I always thought they were one in the same....until recently. Sometimes the box people need to learn how to multitask and live in a loft...maybe not a mansion with many rooms. Faith often requires a little more multi-tasking and a little less organization. Not great news for box people. What are you? Message...

Identity... it's a big topic. In a world where our identity or how we choose to identify is at the focal point of conversation it is especially important to understand our spiritual identity as believers for the sake of our children and our relationships. There are deep roots in our identities- it touches every area of our lives, how we respond to things, how we heal, how we grow. It is shape...

God's faithfulness provides and overflow in and out of us even in the hardest and darkest of times. Joy and peace from the spirit of God is often the evidence of our abiding in God's grace and His presence. It often has the opportunity to raise questions and defy logical responses to our situations. We find ourselves walking in the illogical grace which spills out around us into the ever...

After a car accident and injuries we explore how our past and future interact with our faith and how God uses the old and the new to grow us. Its raw, its real, and its not an easy moment.

We receive good gifts all the time. Do we always see the gifts in our lives as we face hardships and heartbreaks? Do we feel so overwhelmed by the gift of grace that we strive to repay/earn our way to feel better about our entitlement to it?  Big questions can come from the smallest encounters. This week join us as we discuss how a new bike leads us to put on our Kingdom goggles. Message Me! Suppo...

Prayer and Matcha? What could they possibly have in common? Honestly not much. However in the same way matcha may help increase focus so does prayer as we hyper focus on Kingdom living. When we invite the Spirit into our daily lives through prayer and meditation we are going to see some hyper focusing on God's will rather than our own. How our prayer life changes and develops can reveal true...

You know that time of year when spring isn't quite here, and the winter storms have turned the ground to mud, and the whole world is waiting in restless anticipation for spring and the new life it will bring? How often do seasons of quiet rest turn into seasons of wrestling the restlessness- the mud soon to produce beautiful life, but not just yet ? It can feel like it will never end and the...

Life threw us a curveball this week in a big way. How do we face hard circumstances and medical unknowns with a Kingdom focus? Are we able to worship through the fear? Are we willing to lay down our dreams and desires to submit to the leading of the Spirit of God? Are we spiraling out of control or are we sitting in the presence of God's peace and grace? Message Me! Support the show If you wo...

Obedience does not always lead to immediate deliverance or reward-sometimes we are called to learn about who God is before we see the reward.
