Daily Grace

Have you ever thought any of these: My church doesn’t need my help. I don’t have anything of value to contribute to my church. I’m too busy to be involved in my church.

In this episode, Shelby and Krystal tackle common lies we are tempted to believe when it comes to the Church and truths of Scripture we can lean on to combat them.

As women, we can believe that everything rests on our shoulders. If anything is going to get done, we feel like we have to do it. But… is that true? What does the Bible have to say about that mindset? Shelby and Krystal talk all about this and more as we unpack the lie that we believe: it is all up to us.

Forgiveness can be a loaded topic. It’s almost always tied to pain—either pain that we’ve caused or pain that we’ve experienced. This makes forgiveness difficult to process and difficult to act on. In this episode, Krystal and Shelby break down what biblical forgiveness is, why we are able to forgive even when it’s hard, and how to handle forgive difficult people. We pray that this episode reminds you of all that you’ve been forgiven of in Christ and encourages you to forgive others for big offenses and small ones.

Today’s episode will kick off a mini-series on the “One Another’s” of Scripture. In this conversation, Shelby and Krystal start off the series by discussing Galatians 6:2: “Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.“ We can struggle to know what to do with others’ burdens and how to allow others into our own lives to carry our burdens. It is a call to action, both in our own lives and in the lives of others. So what does it mean to actually live this out? Join us for this conversation!

In today’s conversation, we tackle three words to help you grow spiritually—and they may be new to you! The words are: orthodoxy, orthopraxy, and orthopathy. Though these seem like big, weighty theological terms, we break them down and provide ways to practically incorporate these concepts into your walk with the Lord. Understanding these three words will help us to reorient our hearts and passions to align with the truths of Scripture. We pray this episode will deepen your love for God and His Word.

Join us for our final bonus mini-episode as we discuss who this study is good for.. surprise, everyone! We discuss how the study is great for someone in a busy season, but also for the person who wants to dive deeper into details of the New Testament they haven’t thought about before. Behold is a study that will be great for building a daily habit of Bible reading because it’s just one chapter of Scripture each day!

Whether you feel behind on your to-do list or behind in life, there are always times when each of us wish that we were further along. But, how do we handle this emotion biblically? That is what we want to talk about today. Our encouragement is trust God with the gap between where you are and where you want to be—even if that gap never closes. And to obsess over faithfulness where you are instead of obsessing over the future. We talk in detail about this and the Scriptures that led us to these conclusions in today’s podcast!

Have you ever felt misunderstood? There can be something so frustrating when you do not feel heard or understood. In today’s conversation, Shelby and Krystal discuss when we as women are most tempted to feel misunderstood as well as the responses that often come out of feeling that way. We can sometimes dismiss the “respectable” sins such as pride but Scripture is clear to point us toward away from pride and toward a humble posture. By walking in humility, we seek to honor the Lord and others in the way we process and respond to situations where we feel misunderstood.

Do you feel weak? Do you struggle to admit your weaknesses? As Christians, seeing our weaknesses can actually be a good thing because it pushes us to rely on the Lord for His strength.

Emily Jensen joined us for this thought provoking conversation! Emily is the co-founder and content director of Risen Motherhood, and author of the new book, “He is Strong.” In it, Emily shares relatable stories about her own feelings of weakness and points you to the gospel for wisdom, hope, and comfort.

In today's episode, we hear the story of an unlikely convert—Rosaria Butterfield. Rosaria was a tenured women’s studies Professor at Syracuse University who adopted a lesbian identity. In 1997, she began reading the Bible as research for a book she planned to write. After reading large portions of Scripture and being invited into the home of a pastor where her questions were welcomed and answered, Rosaria converted to Christianity in 1999. In this episode, she shares her story of coming to Christ and how that resulted in her losing almost everything—but gaining eternal life in Christ.

We may think that we can’t memorize Scripture because we have terrible memories or that we don’t have time. But in today’s episode, Glenna Marshall shows us what a few minutes a day can do to transform your walk with the Lord and the way you engage with His Word.

Glenna has seen the benefits of Scripture memory firsthand as she has incorporated it into pockets of time throughout her day. She recently wrote a book all about it titled, Memorizing Scripture: The Basics, Blessings, and Benefits of Meditating on God's Word. If you have struggled in the past to commit Scripture to memory, then you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

There’s no doubt about it—we are busy people. We live in a world that values and prioritizes hustle and busyness. Sadly, this impacts our spiritual lives as we push aside the most important thing (being with God in His Word) and trade it for the seemingly urgent things in front of us. The truth is if we have time for Netflix and Instagram, we have time to spend with Jesus. The question is—how are we prioritizing our time and our lives to ensure that we make time for what matters most?

We hope this conversation reminds you that you are not alone in whatever season you are experiencing and that the God of the universe sees you in the midst of it all. It is during the busiest times that we need to cling to Him all the more.

When it comes to the church, we often talk about the hard and holy, but do we talk about the hope and holy? Natalie Runion from Raised to Stay is on today’s podcast to talk about all of this and so much more! Natalie is a pastor’s kid who went on to serve on church staff for many years. She experienced what many of us have experienced: hurt, betrayal, pain, confusion, exhaustion. But instead of turning her back on the Church, she leaned in to see what the Lord had for her in the midst of the suffering. Natalie’s story is one of surrender and we know you will be encouraged by it.

We chat through the reasons we might call it quits on Bible study—from apathy to overwhelm. We also share what helps us continue on in deep Bible study when we want to call it quits. This quick and easy to listen to episode is only 16 minutes long, but we pray it encourages you to press on and press into deep Bible study!

In today’s episode, Bible teacher Elizabeth Woodson shows us some helpful places to start when it comes to Bible study! She talks about ways we can study in order to avoid major interpretation traps as well as the heart behind why we study. We shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes in our study of Scripture. (Because we will make mistakes!) Instead, we should let it draw us closer to the Lord, relying on the Spirit to help us as we learn biblical truths. If you want to grow in your ability to rightly handle the Word of God, then you won’t want to miss this conversation!

What is the one thing that you deeply desire? Maybe it’s a relationship, a job, an opportunity, or a positive pregnancy test. We all know what it’s like to want something, yet not receive it. We also know what it’s like to watch others receive the very thing we want while we sit with empty hands.

Today on the Daily Grace Podcast we talk about how to untangle all of the emotions associated with the question, “why not me?” We’ll discuss how to be honest about our emotions, honor others, and honor the Lord when we feel disappointed and discouraged. We pray that this episode meets you right where you are and offers you gospel hope and practical help.

In this episode, Krystal had the pleasure of chatting with Katie Faris about unmet expectations and challenges we face in motherhood. Through the ups and downs, Katie shares how her faith in God sustained her in seasons when life didn’t turn out how she had hoped. Whether you are a mom or have close friends who are moms, this conversation will remind you of the hope we have in Christ alone. We do not cling to our roles as mothers—we cling to the Lord. We pray this conversation is an encouragement for you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Remember His faithfulness, His care, and His promises.

In this episode, Shelby and Krystal chat with Caroline Saunders about a theology of home. Caroline helps us look at Scripture and see what it tells us about our homes. We will see that God is the very best home maker, that He is a home defender, and that He is preparing a perfect home for us in eternity.

Caroline’s relatable and thoughtful explanation of the theology of home will change the way you view your home and all of the sorrows and joys it holds! We pray this episode encourages you to be thankful for the way Jesus came and made His home with us so that we might be able to live eternally in the home He is preparing for us. Caroline said it best, “God is making a way home for us through Jesus.

Anger is something we don’t often want to talk about. We can minimize our own struggles with anger, or we can neglect to see anger in our own hearts. However, we believe it is extremely important to discuss how anger impacts our personal relationships and our relationship with the Lord. 

In this conversation, Shelby and Krystal address some key questions: is anger a sin? Can it be controlled? How can we identify and work through our anger? How does the gospel inform our perspective and our response to anger? These are ones we have both wrestled with over the years and we hope it is helpful to you as we go to God’s Word to find these answers. We pray this episode is a practical reminder of God’s saving work in our lives as we honor Him in our words and actions.

Chances are that unless disability is a part of your daily life, you haven’t thought much about how to grow in understanding towards people with disabilities. And it is for that reason that we welcome Laura Wifler onto the Daily Grace Podcast today to talk about this topic. Laura is the mother of five year old Eden who was diagnosed with developmental disabilities at a very young age. Laura candidly shares the fears and joys her family has experienced since Eden’s diagnosis. She encourages us to see people with disabilities as people who are “like me” because they are made in the image of God. She gives practical tips for loving people in our spheres who have disabilities and tips for walking alongside parents of children with disabilities. Above all, Laura reminds us that the value of a person is not dependent on their abilities. All people are worthy of dignity and love.

We are often afraid to ask questions that have the potential to destabilize our faith. We worry the answers will reveal that God is not real or that God is not good. One of those questions is, “if God is good, why do bad things happen?” In today’s episode, Shelby chats with Michele, who has walked through three decades of suffering and trauma about this exact question.

 Michele helps us understand that the presence of sin and suffering doesn’t diminish the goodness of God. And she helps us understand that God has provided the greatest good in Jesus. Even when evil presses in from all sides, the gospel gives us real, lasting, eternal hope. Michele also speaks to the person who is feeling weak in their faith and needs the encouragement to keep going in the midst of suffering and pain. 

If you struggle to make sense of God’s goodness in a broken world or you feel like your faith is faltering and you’re in need of a reminder of God’s goodness towards you—this episode is for you. I pray that it helps you to see the goodness of God in Christ and the glorious hope offered in salvation.

Kat’s love and excitement for God’s Word are contagious. If you are feeling like you have lost the spark in your Bible study, then you won’t want to miss all that Kat has to share in this episode!

In this episode, Shelby and Krystal talk about what it looks like to navigate relationships that we have with hard to love people. Rather than avoid every person that irritates or bothers us, how can we lean into the gospel and allow God's love to be reflected in the way we love and serve others?

 As we chat through this topic, we will encourage you to remember how Christ loved us when we were "hard to love." We will look at Scripture to see how we can practically love hard to love people even when it feels impossible. And we will remember that we are dependent on the Spirit to help us love others with the love of Christ.

This week Krystal chats with Esther Smith about her book, “A Still and Quiet Mind.” In Esther’s book, she details several strategies for combating a variety of unwanted or intrusive thought patterns. Some of these strategies are simple yet effective, such as slowing down and taking deep breaths. Other strategies include biblical meditation as we reflect on the truths of God and His Word. Ultimately, these strategies remind us of our limited nature and help us to fix our eyes on our wonderful Creator. We pray this conversation provides practical tools while remembering the mighty God that we serve.

Jen Pollock Michel joins Shelby to chat about her new book In Good Time and why a lot of the productivity advice floating around isn’t necessarily the best advice to take. Jen’s encouragement to resist hurry for the glory of God may be just what you need today. She’s also asking and answering some important questions about the way we manage our schedules. Should our goal be to get the most done? Or should it be to do the right thing in the right way at the right time? Jen tells stories from her own life and exhorts us all to take a step back, take a look at our schedules, and make adjustments so that we can experience an unhurried and peaceful life

Have you ever walked through something so dark and difficult that it made you wonder where God was and why He didn’t intervene? Our guest today, Nicole Jacobsmeyer, has! From trauma in her teen years to a cancer diagnosis later in life, Nicole had repeatedly wrestled with the goodness of God in the midst of her suffering. In this episode, Nicole vulnerably shares her story and how God pulled her out of doubt when she was at her lowest. Whether or not you’ve experienced the same kinds of suffering as Nicole, you’ll relate to the honest questions she has wrestled with about her faith.

We hope this episode will remind you that God is with you and will lead you through every high and low that you experience. And we hope it will encourage you that it is okay to ask hard questions about faith and God. There are firm answers in Scripture for the hard questions we all have about faith.

Today’s episode was all about how the gospel helps us to make peace with our past. Our pasts hold a lot for each of us—good memories, sad seasons, hard times, and everything in between. The way we view our past has implications for us in the present and for our future. It can hinder us or help us in our spiritual growth. It can even dictate how you respond to others in times of stress. In this conversation, we talk about the power of the gospel to help us make peace with our past. We hope it is a helpful reminder to cling to Christ in all areas of life.

Since this episode releases on Valentine’s Day, we decided to do something extra special! We have not one but TWO interviews in this special episode! First, we talk with our husbands to discuss what it looks like to honor God and one another in marriage as we navigate unmet expectations. Then, we interviewed Melissa Zaldivar about expectations in singleness.

I know the temptation is to listen to the part that applies to where you are at, but I encourage you to listen to both parts! Chances are if you are single, you have a married friend. If you are married, you likely have a single friend. (If you don’t, step out of your comfort zone and develop new friendships—you won’t regret it!) There is so much biblical wisdom in this episode that will help you to be a better friend and hopefully a more devoted follower of Christ.

“We tell the stories of Scripture over and over because they anchor us and remind us of what's true when things get blurry.” 

This is a quote from Melissa Zaldivar’s book titled, “What Cannot Be Lost: How Jesus Holds Us Together When Life is Falling Apart.” We loved talking with Melissa on this week’s episode as we discussed grief and loss. In her book, Melissa tells the story of losing her friend Jill to cancer as she weaves together threads of the life of Louisa May Alcott, the author of “Little Women.” It is a beautiful, hopeful, and heavy story of how Jesus can meet us in whatever situation we find ourselves in.

In today’s conversation, we talk about how to rightly handle the Scriptures when faced with loss, how to help others that are in grief, and where hope is found even as grief lingers. You may be experiencing a season of loss or you may be walking with someone who is in tremendous grief. Wherever you find yourself today, be encouraged by the truths of Scripture and the hope found in the gospel. Jesus will hold you together, just as He holds all things together (Colossians 1:17).

We might try to avoid it but it’s inevitable—we all fail at something at some point. No matter if we are in the workforce, self-employed, at home, or in ministry, we face failure. But we will have moments of success as well, which in some ways can be even more difficult to handle. Navigating both of those with grace can be a challenge in different ways! How can we respond well as believers?

In today’s conversation, Shelby and I invited staff writer Katie Davidson to join us as we talk about how to navigate success and failure. If you struggle to receive success with humility or failure with grace, we encourage you to join us in this conversation. We hope that it will provide you with some practical and Biblical wisdom to rightly navigate these situations in your everyday life. In the good and bad, whether we succeed or fail, we know that we can fix our eyes on God who is good and faithful and wise.

In today's episode, we discuss roles and our identity. It's a topic that listeners have messaged us about but it's also one that feels very relevant to Shelby and myself right now. We want to be faithful in the roles that God has entrusted to us, but we also don't want to find our primary identity in them. We attempt to untangle some of the complexities as we look to our identity in Christ and see what God's Word has to say about who we are as believers.

21:02 - How fulfilling our roles can be an overflow of our identity in Christ

23:51 - Prayer prompts and gospel encouragement

Questions to Consider:

How do you react when success in your role is threatened?

Do you still see your need for God when everything is going well in your roles? Or do you pull away from God because you are being satisfied by your roles? Does your contentment depend on getting a role that you don't currently have or keeping a role that you do currently have?

Are you able to weather failure and criticism in your roles well or do these things crush you?

Prayer Prompts:

Ask God to help you glorify Him in your current roles.Thank God for the roles He has given you and thank Him for his goodness and sovereignty in the roles that you don't have.

Ask God to increase your joy and contentment with where He has you right now.

Pray that the Spirit would convict you when you're tempted to place your identity anywhere other than Christ himself.

What’s your story? We all have one. As believers, God has crafted a story for each of us, bringing us into salvation through the work of His Son, Jesus. Your story may be one of faithful Christian parents that brought you up in the ways of the Lord. Your story may be one of wandering. Perhaps you became a Christian later in life after years of rebellion. Whatever your story entails, there is a common thread that we all share: the faithfulness of God.

In today’s episode, Krystal chats with her pastor, Afshin Ziafat. Though he was raised in a Muslim household, Afshin came to know the Lord in his teenage years. Afshin has an incredible testimony and has the opportunity to share it all other the world. But in sharing his story, Afshin is clear to point out that it is a story of God’s faithfulness and not his own. Come chat with us about the faithfulness of God in our testimonies.

It’s that time of year where we are all thinking about goals, but what does Scripture say about goals? Should Christians set them? If so, are there biblical principles we should consider as we set our goals? And how should we respond if we’re unable to keep our goals perfectly? Today, we chat with Emily Thomas about all things goals and grace. Emily has been guiding others towards their goals for over a decade as a team member at our sister company, Cultivate What Matters. She shares tons of encouragement and practical tips in this quick episode that will help you get your new year started right!

On today’s podcast episode, Gary Thomas talks to us about how to determine if the difficult people in our lives are toxic people and what to do if we discover they are toxic. Toxic is a cultural buzzword when it comes to relationships, but Gary doesn’t allow culture to define this word. Instead, he uses Scripture to explain to us the traits of a toxic person and relationship. He also shows us how Jesus handled difficult and toxic people. It may be surprising to you to learn that Jesus both walked away from people and let people walk away from Him many times in the gospels. And by studying His example we can learn how we should handle the difficult people in our lives.

On this episode of the Daily Grace Podcast, Krystal and Shelby chat with Kaitlin Garrison about how the gospel frees us from a life of striving. If you have ever felt crushed under the weight of trying to impress God—this episode is for you! Kaitlin shares about the belief she held for far too long that she was supposed to be the hero of her own story. She talks about the false gospels that keep us stuck striving to be good enough for God. And she shares how finding freedom from a life of striving isn’t a one time thing, it is a daily dependence on the gospel to be our salvation.

Happy holidays! Giving and receiving gifts around the holidays should bring us joy and build anticipation. And yet, we often become stressed or overwhelmed when it comes to giving and receiving gifts. In this episode, Shelby and Krystal discuss how we can have a gospel perspective even in something like exchanging gifts. When we consider our responses to others in both giving and receiving gifts, we have an opportunity to display the generosity of God and His grace toward others. We hope this episode helps us all to reframe our thinking around how we exchange gifts this Christmas.

What are the two topics you aren’t supposed to discuss at family gatherings? Most of us would immediately guess religion and politics, and some of us may intentionally stay away from these topics in public. But what if we could step into the political sphere in a way that honors God? In this episode, Dr. Patrick Schreiner makes a compelling case for why we should consider engaging in politics as believers. Shelby and Krystal chat with Dr. Schreiner about how the gospel changes the way we view politics and offers practical tips on engaging in politics in a way that honors Christ as King.

Many of us struggle to build deep friendships as adults. We might feel too busy, too nervous to be the first to say hello, or too anxious about being rejected or hurt to invest in others. But there is hope in the gospel that we can cling to as we build biblical friendships. In this episode, Krystal sits down with pastor’s wife, podcaster, and author, Christine Hoover to discuss the beauty of friendship and how to overcome the barriers we face to build it. You will be blessed by the biblical wisdom she shares and the encouragement she leaves with us as we seek true friendships rooted in the gospel.

We know the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We read the words of Moses and Paul. We seek to emulate women like Esther, Ruth, and Mary. But what about the lesser-known women of the Bible? How do their stories fit in the grand narrative of the Bible? And additionally, how should we see ourselves in light of these stories?

On this podcast, Shelby and Krystal are joined by Nana Dolce, author of “The Seed of the Woman: 30 Narratives that Point to Jesus.” They discuss the biblical narratives of women like Hagar, Zipporah, and the widow of Zarephath to help us to see the gospel in all of Scripture. As Nana shares, you will hear her passion for the Scriptures as well as for teaching others. Her enthusiasm for God’s Word is contagious and we pray that this episode deepens your joy in the Lord.

We all experience suffering in this life. Our world is fractured with sin and we encounter its effects regularly. Yet in the midst of suffering, we can find hope in the gospel. We can rejoice that we do not face the pain of this world alone and one day, the Lord will return and make all things new with no more grief and no more pain. In this episode, Shelby and Kyrstal talk with Colleen Chao, author of “In the Hands of a Fiercely Tender God: 31 Days of Hope, Honesty, and Encouragement for the Sufferer.” Her story is marked with pain and suffering as she experienced years of chronic pain, parenting a child with health complications, and a later diagnosis of stage four terminal cancer. But in the midst of her pain, Colleen reminds us of the comfort and love of God and teaches us to run to His Word no matter our circumstances. Join us as we discuss God’s goodness in chronic illness and cancer with Colleen Chao.

Justin shares the four daily and four weekly habits that will help you love God, love your neighbor, embrace healthy spiritual routines, and resist unhealthy spiritual practices.

We hear the word blessing frequently. We hear people refer to health, prosperity, and exciting opportunities as blessings. God certainly is the giver of all good gifts. But, if blessings are only material gifts to us, then we may feel confused when we walk through sickness, lack, and strife. We need a biblical definition of blessing. The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, ties blessings into the presence of God. To be blessed by God is to be in His presence, not to receive presents from Him. The gospel assures us that all who are saved by grace through faith have the unbreakable promise of God’s presence in their lives. Therefore, we are blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. And we can experience blessing even when our life’s circumstances are what Instagram would caption as #blessed. Come chat with us about what it really means to be blessed by God and how the gospel is the very best blessing we can receive.

Come chat with Shelby and Jen Oshman and they discuss five empty promises of our culture: beauty and body image, abortion, gender fluidity, sexual encounters, and marriage and motherhood. Jen opens up about how she’s seen these empty promises cause pain to women countless times over her two decades of disciplining young women. She also shares how we can live a God-centered life in a culture that is constantly telling us we should be the center of our own lives. This is a thought provoking conversation for all those who struggle with knowing how to remain steadfast to biblical beliefs in an ever changing culture.

Most of us carry the belief that if we could be in control of the people and circumstances around us then life would be better. This belief leads to us exerting massive amounts of energy into controlling everyone and everything. But, somehow our attempts to control our life usually end up hurting and not helping. Can you relate? Today we chat with author, speaker, and church planter Sharon Hodde Miller about her new book The Cost of Control: Why We Crave It, the Anxiety It Gives Us, and the Real Power God Promises. Sharon shares biblical truth to help us realize we are not in control and that’s a good thing! She also shares about the tools God gives us to help us cope and find peace in our out of control world. Come chat with us as we discuss the Cost of Control with Sharon Hodde Miller.

The opinions of guests on the Daily Grace podcast do not represent the opinions of The Daily Grace Co., and we do not necessarily endorse the resources that they recommend or mention on the show.

Sometimes caring for others can become a crisis in our lives. We can become so consumed with pleasing the people around us that our main function in life becomes to meet the needs and expectations of others. And while this initially seems like a selfless way to live, it is actually often a self-centered way to live. We crave the approval and acceptance of others so much that we will sacrifice anything and everything to get it. People pleasing can easily become an idol. So, how do we recognize when serving others has become our god? And how can we recenter our lives on God instead of the opinions of others? Come chat with us as we discuss how Scripture and ultimately the gospel helps us overcome fear of man and people pleasing.

Many women feel constant pressure to be perfect in all areas of their lives. And because of this pressure, we push ourselves to our limits trying to be (or appear) perfect. But, perfectionism is oftentimes rooted in love of self. It is the outworking of the wrongful belief that we can earn our way into God’s good graces. If we want to have a thriving relationship with God, we need to deal with our perfectionism so that He alone is the standard of perfection in our lives. Come chat with us about the roots of perfectionism, how we can identify it in our lives, when we should repent of the idol of perfectionism, and how the grace of Jesus covers all our imperfections and failures.
