Grace Moments Katherine Singer

Redemption stories are a big theme here at Grace Moments. We believe in the power of hope and God to bring good out of any pain or personal failure and love having guests on who personify these truth. Today’s guest is no exception. Tullian Tchividjian was a well-known pastor, author, and speaker with a pretty good faith pedigree to boot as the grandson of Billy Graham. But a very public downfall left him with a broken life, broken family, and no ministry. Having recently written a book in which he vulnerably lays out his failures and the journey to forgiveness and redemption he’s been on since, he’s kindly agreed to sit down and talk about what he’s learned and how he’s experienced the mercy of God. Regardless of what you may have heard in the past about his story, I hope you’ll listen to his thoughts today as he shares his journey, his passion for helping others discover God’s radical grace, and how the faith community can be better at confession and forgiveness.

There are sadly moments in our human experience where it becomes evident that a season of our life is coming to an end... where a goodbye you never thought you'd have to say is inevitable or a painful but necessary walking away has to take place. In one way or another, it has become clear that you don't belong "there" anymore. Bad breakups, divorces, getting passed over for a promotion at work, moves, friendships going sour, job changes - all these things test how gracefully we can transition from one chapter to another. And this episode gives you some key lessons that will help make this a bit smoother.

Prayer can seem so ordinary and so routine if you are a person of faith who shares a relationship with God. It is natural to utilize prayer to petition or bless Him for various situations in this life. But sometimes there can be a limit to how honest we're willing to get with Him in our prayer life, almost like we've placed a holy limit on how raw and real it's okay to get with God about ourselves and circumstances. This episode explores our need for unedited prayers and why practicing candidness is not only alright but invited by Him. Come, let's spend a few minutes together and perhaps discover a deeper honesty in our conversations with the Divine.

Each one of us keeps our own personal trophy case in our heart where passions or meaningful achievements live. While it is great to be proud of things we've accomplished, if our successes are all that define us, we will be disappointed and let down when we feel others haven't validated those successes as we'd hoped. We can also sometimes start to treat our faith this way as if bringing our trophies to God somehow earns us special points. This episode discusses why God alone should have your heart and why it's important in life to do things "as unto the Lord and not for human praise." 



Note: There are some changes to the recording and editing format of the podcast, so you may hear a difference in the quality of the recording. Hopefully they improve your listening experience.

As we encounter personal, spiritual, relational, and overall general challenges in life, it can be easy to become cynical, jaded, and despairing about the condition of others, ourselves, and even life itself. Differences in opinion, practice, personality, and even the existence of pain and loss can get in the way of finding the good around and within us. This episode is a caution against allowing the bad parts to cloud and overshadow the good ones and why negative thinking always has to be held in check.

There are moments in life when we all come across problems that seem to be far too insurmountable - situations that, to the human perspective, feel impossible. And sometimes, these can lead us to question if said circumstances are too hard... even for God. In this episode, we'll tackle the issue of unbelief and why knowing the dependable track record of God is key to having hope and good mental health.
