The Graceful and Gritty Podcast: Doing Life God's Way

90. Coping vs. Healing

We all learn how to cope - in both healthy and unhealthy ways. We all have to cope because unfortunately, the outcome of being born into a broken, sinful world, means we all have to deal with sin and brokenness. Coping is overcoming in spite of the brokenness, but healing is different. Healing is a complete restoration of wholeness. We can all cope, but can we all really be healed? How does that play out in our life and into eternity? Join in today's episode to dig into those questions and more!

89. Life and Coffee: Submission

Just uttering the word "Submission" evokes a wide range of reactions - especially in our societies' feminist era. It's a touchy subject and one that we often feel and experience deeply. Jump in with us today as we explore what God actually says about submission, how it translates into real life, and how we can reclaim God's blueprint for His glory and for the honor and building up of our families and healthy relationships - today's episode will bless you!

88. Life and Coffee: Happy and Holy

The more we pursue happiness as the goal of our lives, the more elusive it seems to become. It's like trying to find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We seek happiness in the things of this world, but it cannot be found there. We make fun of holiness or we find pride in holier-than-thou. Both are wrong - as we pursue holiness, the gift that God bestows is happiness! Join us in today's conversation as we explore the wholeness, purpose, and happiness that only Jesus gives.

87: Life and Coffee: Purpose and Calling

The question in the heart of every man, woman, and child on the planet is this: "Why am I here, and for what purpose was I created?" Turns out, that's a question only the purpose-Giver can answer. In this episode, we learned that calling and purpose are two different things, how to know what they are, how to tell them apart, and some different types of calls so that we can be equipped and trained to walk in what the Lord has for us!

86. Life and Coffee: Unique Obedience

What even is Unique Obedience?? It's the idea that God isn't a cookie-cutter God and He doesn't often do things the same way twice when it comes to our walk with Him. There are commands and principles that we all have to follow, but then there is the relationship piece. It means that we trust Him enough to uniquely guide us in the steps that He has for us, even if they aren't anyone else's. Join us today as we dig deep in what it means to be one of one!
