    Living from Grace | Episode 4: From Woe Is Me to Send Me: Cleansed, Covered, and Commissioned

    In this final episode of our Living from Grace series, we step into one of the most powerful encounters in all of Scripture — Isaiah’s vision in chapter 6. “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord…” Isaiah sees God high and lifted up. Holy. Untouchable. Sovereign. And his immediate response? Not confidence. Not calling. Not purpose. “Woe is me. I am undone.” In this episode, we unpack:     •    What it actually means that God is holy     •    The Hebrew word behind “undone” and why it matters     •    Why conviction is not condemnation     •    How grace always comes before commission     •    Why you don’t have to strive to be sent Isaiah doesn’t volunteer for ministry because he feels qualified. He volunteers after he’s been cleansed. After the coal touches his lips. After atonement is declared over him. Grace precedes assignment. If you’ve ever felt unworthy, disqualified, too messy, too late, too broken — this conversation is for you. Because the gospel doesn’t begin with “Here I am.” It begins with “Your guilt is taken away.” And only then can you say, “Send me.” This episode will ground you in truth, strip away performance Christianity, and remind you that holiness isn’t meant to crush you — it’s meant to transform you.

    Living from Grace | Episode 3: Drop the Stones

    In this powerful continuation of our Living from Grace series, Jen walks us through one of the most unforgettable encounters in Scripture, the woman caught in adultery in Gospel of John 8. What happens after grace speaks? When Jesus says, “Neither do I condemn you,” He doesn’t minimize sin, He redefines identity. Before behavior changes, before apologies are perfected, before anything is fixed… grace speaks a verdict: no condemnation. This episode unpacks the difference between living for grace and living from grace. It’s about dropping the stones, the ones others throw, the ones we carry from our past, and the ones we quietly throw at ourselves. Grace doesn’t just forgive, it frees. It doesn’t just erase shame, it establishes a new standing. If you’ve been living braced for judgment instead of rooted in identity, this conversation is for you. It’s time to drop the stones.  It’s time to live uncondemned. It’s time to live… from grace. Text us with questions or prayer requests 🩷 Support the show

    Living from Grace | Episode 2: Saved Without A Resume

    Saved Without a Resume is for the woman who has been trying to measure her standing with God by her consistency, her discipline, or her ability to “get it right.” It’s for the woman who loves God… but still feels pressure to prove that love. This message dismantles the idea that salvation is something you achieve and replaces it with the truth that salvation is something you receive. Not negotiated. Not earned. Not achieved. But, received. We’ll look at a story in Scripture: God does not move toward the 'impressive'. He moves toward the humble. Toward the honest. Toward the ones who come empty-handed. A broken spirit. A contrite heart. Open hands. Just like the thief on the cross—no résumé, no list of accomplishments, no time to fix his life—yet fully welcomed because he trusted Jesus. This episode gently exposes performance-based Christianity and invites you back to the simplicity of the gospel: You are not saved by what you bring to God. You are saved by what Christ has already done for you. No résumé required. No striving necessary. Just faith. Just grace. And a God that saves us not because of who we are, but because of who HE IS.

    Living from Grace | Episode 1: The Mercy Seat — The Forgotten Furniture

    What if God doesn’t meet you at your performance… but at mercy? In the first episode of our new series Living from Grace, we dismantle the deeply ingrained belief that God meets us with crossed arms, disappointment, and condemnation and replace it with the biblical truth: God has always met His people at the Mercy Seat. From the Ark of the Covenant in Exodus to the cross of Christ, Scripture reveals a stunning pattern: God’s presence does not rest on human obedience, spiritual perfection, or flawless discipline, it rests on atoning blood. Mercy has an address. And that address is Jesus. In this episode, we explore: •⁠  ⁠Why God meets us above our failure, not inside our performance •⁠  ⁠How the Mercy Seat in the Old Testament foreshadows Christ •⁠  ⁠Why Jesus is literally called the “Mercy Seat” in Romans 3:25 •⁠  ⁠What God’s posture toward you truly is when you sin •⁠  ⁠How mercy removes condemnation and grace empowers obedience •⁠  ⁠Why repentance grows best in an environment of mercy, not shame If you’ve been living under quiet guilt, spiritual exhaustion, or the pressure to “do better” in order to be loved by God, this episode will reorient your entire understanding of where God meets you. Spoiler: It’s not in a courtroom. It’s not at your spiritual resume. It’s not at your best day. It’s at the cross. It’s at the Mercy Seat. And He invites you there every single time.

    But Faith: Following God Through Fear and Confusion

    Faith doesn’t always feel confident or peaceful. Sometimes it feels like fear, hesitation, and obedience without clarity. In this episode of Bibles and Botox, we explore what I call “but faith”. The kind of faith that chooses obedience even when emotions, logic, and circumstances say otherwise. From Simon Peter lowering his nets after a night of failure, to Abraham placing Isaac on the altar, to Jesus praying in Gethsemane, we see a consistent pattern in Scripture: God works through surrendered obedience before understanding comes. You’ll hear a powerful personal testimony that brings this concept to life, and we’ll unpack how but faith shows up in real places: marriage, motherhood, calling, waiting seasons, and the moments when trusting God feels costly. If you’ve ever said, “God, this doesn’t make sense… but I’ll obey,” this episode is for you. Text us with questions or prayer requests 🩷 Support the show

    Shame, Anxiety, and the God Who Comes Looking for You

    Anxiety often has deeper roots than stress or overwhelm. In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between shame and anxiety and the way shame quietly shapes our identity, our faith, and how we relate to God. Many Christian women carry anxiety fueled by self-blame, fear of disappointment, perfectionism, and the belief that God is distant when they struggle. But the Bible tells a different story—of a God who comes looking for His children, not after they’ve fixed themselves, but right in the middle of hiding. In this episode, we talk about:  • How shame fuels anxiety and emotional exhaustion  • Why anxiety isn’t always about control—but about identity  • The biblical picture of a God who pursues, not withdraws  • Finding freedom from shame through God’s grace and presence If you’re a Christian woman struggling with anxiety, burnout, or feelings of unworthiness, this episode offers biblical truth, encouragement, and hope rooted in Scripture—not self-help. You are seen. You are pursued. You are not disqualified. 🎧 Listen, share, and subscribe for weekly faith-based conversations on anxiety, identity in Christ, emotional healing, and spiritual growth.

    The Lies of Restlessness and the Truth of "It is Finished"

    This episode dismantles one of the most seductive lies modern women live under: “If I don’t keep moving, producing, proving, and performing, everything will collapse.” Restlessness isn’t just exhaustion — it’s unbelief dressed up as hustle. It’s the false gospel that tells you you must earn worth, secure identity, fix everyone, anticipate every crisis, and carry what only God can carry. But Christ didn’t hang on a cross, drink the full cup of wrath, descend into death, rise again, and ascend to the right hand of the Father just so you could live like the world is still on your shoulders. “It is finished.” (John 19:30) Not partly finished. Not almost there. Not “Jesus did His part, now you better do yours flawlessly.” Finished means: the penalty is fully paidthe striving for identity is overthe performance treadmill is shatteredthe restlessness of self-salvation is exposed as a lieIf you’re constantly anxious, constantly hustling, constantly proving, constantly afraid to stop because life might unravel — then this isn’t just a lifestyle issue. It’s a lordship issue. You’ll hear why: Restlessness is not a personality flaw — it’s a theological misalignment.Busyness isn’t the enemy — burdened self-redemption is.Rest is not laziness — it’s obedience.Sabbath is not suggestion — it’s identity formation.Jesus didn’t invite you to burnout discipleship. He invited you to union, yoke, communion, and freedom. This episode will expose the counterfeit rest culture sells (self-care, spa days, escapism, numbing) and contrast it with the violent, victorious declaration Christ made over your life: “It is finished.” Finished striving. Finished earning. Finished proving. Finished performing for love you already have. Come listen — not to be inspired — but to be re-ordered. Come, and rest.

    Anxiety in the Waiting: Gethsemane & the Ache of “Not Yet”

    Waiting is one of the hardest places to trust God — especially when heaven feels silent and your heart is screaming for answers. In this episode of Bibles & Botox, we step into the dark, trembling night of Gethsemane… the most honest, human moment of Jesus’ life. If you’ve ever begged God to move, wondered if He hears you, or felt crushed under the weight of “not yet,” this one is going to hit home. Inside this episode, we break down:  • Why waiting exposes what you trust most  • How God uses delays to purify, humble, clarify, and strengthen you  • What Jesus’ prayer in the garden teaches us about real, raw faith  • The surprising truth: waiting isn’t where God abandons you — it’s where He forms you This is for the woman who’s tired, anxious, stretched thin… and desperate to believe God hasn’t forgotten her. Lean in. Gethsemane is where suffering turns to surrender — and where God prepares you for what He’s about to do. Text us with questions or prayer requests 🩷 Support the show

    What Anxiety Says About God

    This episode is Part 1 of the series Anxious Hearts & a Faithful God — a series for every woman who loves Jesus but still wrestles with a racing mind, sleepless nights, and the weight of “what if.” We’re going far deeper than surface-level stress today. In this opening episode, Jen explores the spiritual root of anxiety — not just what it feels like in our bodies, but what it quietly says about our view of God. Because anxiety isn’t just a feeling… it’s an ache of uncertainty mixed with the illusion of control. And it often whispers lies about who God is, what He’s doing, and whether we’re truly safe in His hands. Text us with questions or prayer requests 🩷 Support the show

    A Father’s Love: The Truth That Changes Everything

    I used to say “God loves me,” but deep down I didn’t really believe it — not in a way that felt personal, real, or life-changing. Then one day — in the middle of my addiction — I prayed one desperate sentence in my car: “God, if You really love me, stop me.” Seconds later, He did… in a way no one could have scripted. In this episode, I share that full, raw, vulnerable story — the moment God intervened when I was on my way to sin, not away from it. But this isn’t just a testimony episode. We’re also talking about something almost every woman wrestles with, whether she’s a Christian or not: Why is it so hard to believe we’re truly loved — not just in theory, but in a way that changes how we live, think, pray, and see ourselves? So whether you’re a believer who knows the Bible but still feels unworthy…or you’re someone who’s not sure what you think about God at all… This episode will give you a picture of a God who doesn’t just tolerate people — He moves toward them, rescues them, and calls them by name. If you’ve ever wondered:  “Does God really love me?”  “Would He still love me after what I’ve done?”  “Why can other people feel God’s love but I don’t?”  — you’re in the right place.
