“I have a bad memory! Memorizing Scripture is hard. Where do we start? Which verses should we memorize? Why should we even engage in this particular spiritual discipline? Do we have to?” We have all entertained one or more of these thoughts. Scripture memorization is a spiritual discipline that often gets pushed aside. But there are countless benefits to hiding God’s Word in our hearts and minds, and it is a discipline that is well worth our efforts. We offer tips and tricks to help you make it happen!    Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

Diversity is a beautiful idea from God. His image bearers are marked with racial and cultural differences. But the gospel is for people of every tribe, nation, and tongue, and we can get a taste of heaven when there is true unity amongst diversity within the body of Christ. But there are natural challenges we face! We are joined by Aubrey Coleman, and she offers great encouragement and practical suggestions on how we can pursue unity specifically regarding racial and cultural differences.    Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

Deep, meaningful friendships. We all want them! God actually designed us to live and grow in relationship to Him and each other. The Bible offers a vision of friendship that goes beyond doing things 50/50. It goes beyond affirming, venting, and commiserating. Christian friendship is an eternal bond offered by the blood of Christ. We serve each other sacrificially, help each other grow in holiness, etc. But how do we cultivate these friendships? Where do we start?

Has anyone ever told you to “trust God”? The assumption behind that phrase is that God is trustworthy. But how can we know that He will make good on His promises? Can we really trust that He will be faithful and work all things for our good? We can find ourselves asking these questions especially in times of suffering. We can trust God because He is a covenant-making and covenant-keeping God. Covenants show us how God relates to us, and why we can have a sure and confident hope in Jesus.     Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

What does it look like to be discipled and to make disciples? What if you’re in a busy season with littles? Does it have to be a weekly coffee date with the Bible open? What’s the fruit of opening up our lives, mess in all? Hunter Beless joins us and shares how she has been personally discipled and how that has impacted her own mission to disciple others. She shares how her mentors taught her to imitate Christ, apply the gospel to every circumstance, and depend on the grace of God.      Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

What is the evidence that true forgiveness has taken place in our hearts and lives? What does it practically look like to extend forgiveness? Forgiveness isn’t just “forgive and forget”. There are internal elements and external elements of forgiveness. Our thoughts, emotions, and actions are all influenced by the exchange of forgiveness!    Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

Do we forgive others for our good or the good of others? Is it for our own peace of mind or is it to foster peace with others? What does God’s Word have to say regarding the “why” behind forgiveness between people? God’s people are compelled by His love, grace, and forgiveness to extend love, grace, and forgiveness to others. It is a mark of a believer to have an ongoing attitude of forgiveness. But this doesn’t mean it’s easy: we need God’s help!    Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

What if the worst case scenario happens? What if our family contracts COVID-19? What if the lump is cancer? What if I lose my job? How do we walk by faith in the midst of life’s many “what if’s”? We believe the gospel offers us freedom from living with the “what if’s” ever before us. Sometimes, tragedy does strike. Our world may experience a pandemic. But God’s people respond, not in fear, but in faith. We look back to God’s past faithfulness, and we look forward to His future faithfulness. We are not “what if” people; we are “even if” people.     Connect with us: www.dailygracepodcast.com www.thedailygraceco.com https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/ https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/   Questions?

Can you follow your dreams and follow Jesus? How do we know when it’s time to pursue, press pause, or release a dream? How do our dreams, gifts, and talents play into glorifying God and enjoying Him forever? Our culture has a lot to say about chasing dreams, but what does the Word of God say?

Our culture values independence and strength. We also find ourselves living out of our own strength so often. We know we should “depend on God”, but what does that look like practically? We have to remember that God is self-sufficient. He is dependent on nothing and no one. And truly, this is good news for us! In fact, He created us to be dependent on Him. There is beauty in daily dependence on God and His church!     Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

Church hurt is real. It’s real pain and heartache. Why does it even happen? Though we love the local church, we also know that it is made up of redeemed sinners. This opens up the possibility for fellow believers to hurt one another. Sin is devastating! Jana White shares her personal story of church hurt, and she talks about the healing process. She offers encouragement to those who have experienced this type of pain and also offers thoughts on how the church can come alongside those who are hurting.     Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

Prayer is how we experience intimacy with God, but many of us struggle to pray. We pray sporadically throughout the day, but our prayers lack depth. We feel like we don’t have the words; maybe we lack desire. What can we do? Praying Scripture is a beautiful way to deepen our prayer lives. It keeps our prayers from being self-centered; it helps us understand and apply Scripture. Though our prayers are personal, we aren’t confined to our own words. God invites us to pray His words back to Him!     Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

A massive stroke at 26-years old. Their world turned upside down. One minute they thought they were headed toward a certain future: Jay would graduate law school in 3-weeks, and Katherine would continue her pursuit of acting/modeling while caring for their 6-month old son. The next minute, Katherine is in a risky surgery that required the removal of half of her cerebellum. Though their story is one of overwhelming loss, it’s also one of overwhelming love. It’s a story where the living hope of Christ anchors and heals. It’s a story of redemption.    Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

Have you ever thought, “I wish I could teach the Bible like she does” or “Why didn’t God give me a voice like that to lead worship”? Unhealthy comparison can come up in many ways regarding our spiritual gifts and abilities. But did you know that spiritual gifts are sovereignly given by God to each believer for the good of the body? The diversity of gifts and abilities within the church is something that unites and strengthens the body!

Gossip. We’ve all experienced it; we can all agree that it’s unkind. But do we really understand the ramifications of gossip? Gossiping is saying what you don’t need to say, whether or not it’s true. It is always harmful and never helpful. It is unloving. And the most important truth about gossip is this: gossip is sin. Yet, we justify gossip for many reasons. Maybe we call it “seeking counsel” or “asking for prayer”. Is it even possible to not gossip?    Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

Being married to an unbelieving spouse is a reality of so many. It’s been Sheila’s reality for 26 years and counting. Today, she graciously answers the tough questions like, “Have you thought about leaving the marriage?” and “What does submission look like?” She points us to God’s Word, which speaks directly to this topic and shares how the local church can come alongside people in these situations. She also offers advice to anyone not yet married.

Resolutions and goals are popular, but are they self-promoting? Should Christians participate in goal-setting? There are pitfalls to setting personal goals, but we believe there are many dangers of NOT setting goals. Goals can help us use our time, talents, and resources to love God and others. Goals can help us be intentional. Goals can help us make the most of the time we have. Goals can help us meet our ultimate aim of glorifying God in everything we do!    Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

Health and diet goals. How do you view and relate to food? The world has a lot to say on this topic! We are joined by Asheritah Ciuciu, and she reminds us that the gospel truly does impact every area of our lives: even the way we view and relate to food. She shares her personal battles with food and how the gospel does lead to true freedom. Because the truth is, the real issue may not be food but idolatry! In Christ, believers can experience true comfort and fulfillment, and in turn, rightfully enjoy the good gift of food.    Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?

There are 66 books in the Bible so we can be tempted to approach the Word as a compilation of many different books. We can read the same books over and over again and purposefully neglect others. However, the Bible tells one story, and when we don’t read the whole Bible, we actually miss out on parts of the story! There are many benefits to reading the whole Bible, but there are also some barriers. We discuss all of this today, and we also extend an invitation to a special Bible reading challenge for 2020!    Connect with us:  www.dailygracepodcast.com  www.thedailygraceco.com  https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/  https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/    Questions?
