Daily Grace

#preachingthegospeltomyself // what does that mean?  How do we do it? Why is it an important practice in our lives?  We are going to start with sharing what the gospel exactly is -- we need to know the gospel in order to be able to communicate the gospel to ourselves and others.  Only then can we apply the gospel to every aspect of our lives! We even share a lot of practical tips on how to do this -- it doesn’t have to be a long, drawn-out practice!  Whatever you’re experiencing right now - tragedy, grief, loneliness, infertility, toddler tantrums, or just sticky floors -- the gospel applies.   Connect with us: www.dailygracepodcast.com www.thedailygraceco.com https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/ https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/   Questions?

What does it mean to be a Christian woman? On this episode of Daily Grace, we have the privilege of chatting with Abigail Dodds on what it means to be a gospel-centered woman.  Abigail is a wife to Tom of 16 years, a stay-at-home mama to 5 kids, author of the newly released book (A)Typical Woman, a regular contributor at Desiring God, a seminary student, and an active participant in her women’s ministry at Bethlehem Baptist Church.  She helps us differentiate what our culture defines as being a Christian woman and what God says in His Word about womanhood. She reminds us that the whole Bible equips us as Christian women, but there are passages in the Bible specifically for women and it’s for our good and God’s glory.  We chat about a variety of topics, such as singleness, marriage, suffering, discipleship, submission, and the local church. We hope that this conversation will encourage you to embrace who God made you to be and help you “live out your calling as [a] free, authentic, indispensable member of Chri

Hospitality should characterize God’s people. On this episode of Daily Grace, we discuss how the Bible defines hospitality and what role it should play in the believer's life.  Biblical hospitality is vastly different than what our culture promotes as hospitality, and we’ll compare and contrast the two. We’ll also talk in depth about how hospitality should be an integral part of our lives as believers.  But if you’re anything like us, this may be an area that could use growth. Sometimes, it’s hard to know where to even start! No matter what season of life you’re in though, having a hospitable heart and extending hospitality to others are absolutely vital.  And this is why it matters - hospitality is a tangible way to show the gospel to our neighbors. We have been welcomed, cared for, and loved by Christ, so we strive to welcome, care for, and love others. It is an expression of our reverence for God.   If you’re struggling in this area and would like a fresh perspective on hospitality that’s rooted in the W

The Bible is actually one story - from Genesis to Revelation, there is a unified narrative that all points to Jesus.  This is easily seen through four plot movements: creation, fall, redemption, restoration/consummation. You may have heard this referred to as the “metanarrative” of Scripture.  Understanding this will change the way you approach the Word of God and enrich your study. You’ll even be engaging in biblical theology, which is a type of theology that focuses on how the revelation of Christ unfolds in time.  And we’ll also talk about how knowing this grand narrative impacts our own stories. This unified narrative can help us in our trials - if we’re going through hardship, we can reflect back on the Fall and how God promised a Redeemer, and He came!  And He promises to come back again and make all things new. What a gift it is that we are a part of His story. May our hearts be in awe of our great God and His story of redemption.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Women of the Word by Jen Wilki

We dive a little deeper into the acronym S.C.A.N., which details the four traditional attributes of Scripture, because the Bible is the primary place we should look for our theology.  Then we’ll move into a more practical discussion about how you can engage in theology, even if you’re a new believer! We’ll top off our conversation by talking about the potential pitfalls to watch out for as you grow in your study of theology.   If you hear anything in this conver
