    Episode 55: Can Christians Vote Without Compromising Faith?

    “Both sides are terrible.” “My vote isn't going to change anything.” “I don't trust politicians.” “Can this election PLEASE just be over?” 😂 Sound familiar? Election season has a way of bringing out everyone's opinions. And apparently, everyone is absolutely convinced they're right. Your Facebook feed becomes a political battlefield. Your family group chat gets suspiciously quiet. And suddenly disagreeing with someone feels like a personal attack. Are we actually seeking God in our political decisions? Or are we just asking Him to agree with the decisions we've already made? Ouch. 👀 We pray for our candidate to win. We pray for the election to go our way. But how often do we genuinely ask God for wisdom? Not confirmation. Not validation. Wisdom. And what happens when we pray, research the issues, study Scripture, and STILL feel uncertain? Not every wise decision comes with an immediate feeling of peace. Sometimes we're looking for a feeling when we should be seeking wisdom. And sometimes we're expecting politicians to represent every single one of our values perfectly. Spoiler alert: They're human. They're going to disappoint us. Have we started putting politicians on pedestals they were never meant to stand on? Because our hope was never supposed to be in a candidate. Or a political party. Or an election result. And can we talk about the EXHAUSTION of trying to keep up with everything? The headlines. The arguments. The fear. At some point, staying informed starts feeling a lot like doomscrolling with a side of anxiety. 😂 Sometimes turning off the news and opening your Bible might be exactly what you need. And then there's the uncomfortable question. Are you praying for the candidate you DON'T want to win? Not just the politicians you agree with. The ones who frustrate you, too. Because Scripture doesn't tell us to pray only for leaders we like. And after the election? We're still going to have neighbors, friends, and family members who voted differently. And we're still called to love them. Our responsibility to reflect Jesus doesn't end when we're disappointed. Because whoever sits in the White House doesn't change who's sitting on the throne. Who are you allowing to influence your decisions? And are you leaving room for God to challenge what you already believe? We explore: • Political exhaustion, division & election anxiety• Seeking God's wisdom before voting• Putting politicians on pedestals• Social media, fear & protecting your mental health• Why you shouldn't get your truth from TikTok• Praying for leaders you disagree with• Loving people who vote differently Timestamps: 00:00 - Election exhaustion & seeking God04:13 - Putting politicians on pedestals06:32 - Gratitude & the privilege of voting08:58 - Praying for candidates we disagree with12:13 - Political fear & media consumption16:56 - Stop taking everyone's word for it17:29 - Loving others after the election Scripture References: James 1:5 | 1 Timothy 2:1–2 | Romans 12:18 | Proverbs 3:5–6 | Daniel 2:21 | Matthew 22:37–39 Watch or listen: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HoneyThatsGrace ▶️ Rumble: https://www.rumble.com/HoneyThatsGrace 🎧 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/honey-thats-grace/id1853852905 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Xh2yQLl6fjlplZyaGReqy 🌐 honeythatsgrace.com 💬 We REALLY want to hear your thoughts: Have you ever prayed about a political decision and still felt uncertain? And have we allowed politics to divide relationships that should be rooted in love? Because maybe the biggest question isn't whether our candidate wins. Maybe it's whether people can still see Jesus in the way we respond. Our faith doesn't begin or end at the ballot box. 🤍 🎙️ Episode 55: Can Christians Vote Without Compromising Faith? #HoneyThatsGrace #FaithAndPolitics #ChristianVoting #Election2026 #ChristianWomen #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalDiscernment #FaithOverFear #ChristianLiving

    Episode 54: Why Is Everyone So Lonely?

    We have 500 Facebook friends. Thousands of Instagram followers. Group chats. Text messages. Notifications. We know what someone we haven't spoken to since high school ate for dinner last night. So why does everyone feel so lonely? Seriously. 😂 We've never had more access to people. We can see their vacations, their kids, their new jobs, their relationships, and what they had for breakfast. But here's the uncomfortable question: Do we actually KNOW any of these people? Because somewhere along the way, we may have confused knowing ABOUT someone with actually knowing them. And those are two very different things. We scroll through everyone's lives while feeling increasingly disconnected from our own. We want deep friendships. We want community. We want people who check on us, invite us places, and notice when we're missing. But sometimes we're waiting for everyone else to make the first move. And listen, loneliness is real. It's painful. And it's not always something we can fix by simply putting ourselves out there. But maybe we need to ask ourselves something: Are we showing up for the relationships we're wishing we had? Because friendship takes effort. Community takes time. And being truly known requires something most of us find terrifying. Vulnerability. Especially as adults. Making friends in your 30s and 40s is basically showing up somewhere repeatedly, hoping someone eventually decides you're their person. 😂 And church? That's a whole different conversation. We hear people say: "Nobody checks on me." "Nobody invites me." "I don't feel like I belong." And sometimes churches genuinely need to do better. But sometimes we also need to ask: Who am I checking on? Who am I inviting? Who am I making feel welcome? Because maybe the community we're looking for starts with becoming part of someone else's. And yes, we also talk about doomscrolling, because apparently spending 14 hours on your phone without opening the blinds isn't doing wonders for human connection. 😂 In Episode 54 of Honey, That's Grace, we're asking: Why Is Everyone So Lonely? And we're having an honest conversation about social media, adult friendships, church community, vulnerability, personal responsibility, and what it actually takes to build meaningful relationships. In Episode 54, we explore: • Why we're more connected but still lonely • The difference between being alone and feeling lonely • How social media creates access without intimacy • Doomscrolling, comparison, and isolation • Feeling invisible or disconnected at church • Why community requires initiative • Why serving others can change our perspective • What it means to be truly known Timestamps: 00:00 - More connected than ever, but lonelier? 03:33 - Social media, doomscrolling & isolation 07:02 - Why adult friendships are so hard 08:39 - Finding community through serving 10:41 - Loneliness, church & personal responsibility 13:00 - Vulnerability, past hurts & real connection 15:34 - How to start building meaningful friendships Scripture References: Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 Hebrews 10:24–25 Galatians 6:2 Romans 12:10 John 13:34–35 Watch or listen: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HoneyThatsGrace ▶️ Rumble: https://www.rumble.com/HoneyThatsGrace 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/honey-thats-grace/id1853852905 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Xh2yQLl6fjlplZyaGReqy 🌐 honeythatsgrace.com 💬 We REALLY want to hear your thoughts on this one: Do you think social media has made us lonelier? And why do you think making genuine friendships as adults has become so difficult? Because maybe the opposite of loneliness isn't having more people around us. Maybe it's being truly known by the people who are already there. #HoneyThatsGrace #Loneliness #AdultFriendships #ChristianWomen #ChristianPodcast #SocialMedia #ChurchCommunity #MentalHealth #FaithAndMentalHealth #RealConnection #ChristianLiving

    Episode 53: When Did Cutting People Off Become Self-Care?

    Apparently everyone is toxic now. Your friend hurt your feelings? Cut them off. Your family doesn't respect your boundaries? Go no contact. Someone drains your energy? Protect your peace. Someone disagrees with you? They're a narcissist. And if TikTok says they're toxic, well, that settles it. 😂 So we have questions. When did cutting people off become self-care? Because somewhere between therapy TikTok, Instagram psychologists, "protect your peace," and everyone suddenly becoming an expert on narcissism, something interesting has happened. We've gotten REALLY good at talking about boundaries. But have we gotten equally good at having difficult conversations? What if some of the boundaries we're setting aren't actually boundaries? What if they're avoidance? Now, before anyone gets upset. 😂 We're NOT saying you should stay in abusive relationships or give unsafe people access to your life. Healthy boundaries are absolutely necessary. But we're asking something different. Have we gotten so afraid of unhealthy relationships that we've started treating uncomfortable relationships like unhealthy ones? Because people are complicated. They disappoint us. They misunderstand us. They hurt our feelings. They chew too loudly. 😂 And sometimes WE are the difficult person in someone else's story. But if every disagreement becomes a red flag and every uncomfortable relationship gets labeled toxic, how do we build meaningful relationships with imperfect people? Especially as Christians. Because Jesus didn't call us to love only the people who are easy to love. Ephesians 4:15 tells us to speak the truth in love. Matthew 18:15 teaches us to address offenses directly. Romans 12:18 encourages us, as far as it depends on us, to live at peace with everyone. And none of those things are always comfortable. But here's another important distinction: Forgiveness doesn't mean unlimited access. You can forgive someone and still recognize that the relationship needs to change. You can love someone and still have boundaries. And you can protect yourself without turning every difficult person into a villain. Maybe healthy boundaries aren't about building walls. Maybe they're about learning how to love people wisely. In Episode 53 of Honey, That's Grace, we're talking about boundaries, avoidance, toxic relationship culture, therapy speak, forgiveness, accountability, and whether social media has convinced us that cutting people off is always the healthiest choice. And yes, we talk about how everyone on TikTok apparently has a psychology degree now. 😂 In Episode 53, we explore: Healthy boundaries vs. avoidance Why everyone is suddenly "toxic" Therapy TikTok and relationship advice Protecting your peace vs. avoiding conflict Forgiveness, reconciliation, and access When to have the conversation vs. walk away Why protecting your peace starts within Timestamps: 00:00 - Boundaries or avoidance? 05:30 - Therapy TikTok & toxic relationships 09:20 - Forgiveness without unlimited access 15:06 - Protecting your peace 23:02 - Are uncomfortable relationships unhealthy?

How do YOU know when it's time to have the hard conversation versus when it's time to walk away? Because not every difficult relationship is toxic. Sometimes wisdom says walk away. Sometimes love says have the conversation. Knowing the difference matters. ❤️ 🎙️ Episode 53: When Did Cutting People Off Become Self-Care? #honeythatsgrace #HealthyBoundaries #ProtectYourPeace #ChristianPodcast

    Episode 52: Sourdough, Trad Wives & Jesus... What Is Happening?

    Apparently everyone is making sourdough now. Prairie dresses. Homemaking. Modesty. Masculinity. Femininity. Men providing. Women wanting men to lead. Ancient churches. Old traditions. And somehow... Jesus is in the middle of the conversation. So we have questions. 😂 Why does it suddenly feel like young Christians are going back? Because underneath the $35,000 stoves and perfectly curated trad wife videos, something deeper may be happening. A generation raised on algorithms, influencers, deconstruction, “live your truth,” constant noise, and a world that changes every five minutes seems to be craving something different. Something solid. Something rooted. Something real. And maybe that explains why some young Christians are becoming interested in traditional marriage, older churches, ancient Christian practices, biblical masculinity and femininity, homemaking, slower living, and beliefs that feel surprisingly countercultural in 2026. But here's where the conversation gets complicated: Old doesn't automatically mean biblical. And wearing a linen dress while baking bread from scratch doesn't make you more Christian. 😂 Neither does being a stay-at-home mom. Neither does having a career. Neither does calling yourself a “trad wife.” Because somewhere along the way, Christian culture can turn a good thing into a measuring stick. A “good Christian woman” stays home. A “good Christian man” does this. A “biblical marriage” has to look exactly like that. And suddenly we've added a whole lot of rules Jesus never gave us. So maybe the question isn't whether Christians should become more traditional. Maybe it's: What are we actually trying to get back to? Because if young Christians are hungry for something deeper, the answer isn't nostalgia. It's Jesus. In Episode 52 of Honey, That’s Grace, we're talking about the trad wife trend, traditional marriage, working moms, biblical womanhood, Gen Z's hunger for something real, the renewed interest in older expressions of Christianity, and what happens when cultural tradition gets confused with biblical truth. And yes. We talk about sourdough. 😂 In Episode 52, we explore: Why younger Christians may be drawn toward tradition The rise of the “trad wife” aesthetic Why Gen Z may be craving something rooted and real Traditional marriage, masculinity & femininity Stay-at-home moms vs. working moms The pressure to be a “good Christian woman” When biblical womanhood becomes another impossible standard Why old doesn't necessarily mean biblical Whether modern churches have tried too hard to make Christianity “cool” How tradition can become legalism Why our identity has to stay rooted in Jesus, not a lifestyle Timestamps: 00:00 - Sourdough, trad wives & Jesus?! 10:00 - Why is Gen Z craving something more traditional? 20:00 - The trad wife trend & biblical womanhood 30:00 - Working moms, stay-at-home moms & Christian judgment 40:00 - Traditional doesn't always mean biblical Scripture References: Proverbs 31:10–31 Matthew 22:37–39 John 20:11–18 Romans 3:23 Watch or listen: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HoneyThatsGrace ▶️ Rumble: https://www.rumble.com/HoneyThatsGrace 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/honey-thats-grace/id1853852905 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Xh2yQLl6fjlplZyaGReqy 🌐 honeythatsgrace.com 💬 We REALLY want to hear your take on this one: Do you think younger Christians are becoming more traditional? And what traditions do you think Christianity should never let go of? Because maybe we don't need to go back to 1952. Maybe we need to go back to Jesus. 🎙️ Episode 52: Sourdough, Trad Wives & Jesus: What Is Happening? #HoneyThatsGrace #TradWife #GenZChristians #ChristianWomen #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalWomanhood #TraditionalMarriage #Christianity #Faith #Jesus

    Episode 51: Gen Z Is Finding Jesus… So Where Are the Women?

    Last episode, we asked whether Gen Z is experiencing a Christian revival. Young people are talking about Jesus. Young men are showing up at church. Spiritual curiosity seems to be growing. But there’s a complication in that story: Where are the women? For generations, women have generally been more religiously engaged than men. But with Gen Z, something appears to be changing. Young women are disengaging from organized religion while some young men are becoming more engaged. So we have to ask: Why? And maybe, instead of immediately telling Gen Z women why they’re wrong, the Church should be willing to hear what they’re saying. Church hurt. Leadership failures. Hypocrisy. Feeling unseen. Loneliness. Burnout. Distrust of institutions. Changing expectations for women. A lack of mentorship and genuine relationships. Those things matter. And somewhere along the way, maybe we assumed women would just keep showing up. In Episode 51 of Honey, That’s Grace, we’re talking about why Gen Z women may be stepping away from the Church and what their absence might be telling us. Because they probably don’t need cooler worship sets or more Instagrammable churches. They need people who know their names. People who aren't afraid of their questions. Women a few steps ahead who are willing to sit beside them instead of lecture them. Churches where they are seen, known, discipled, challenged, and loved. Because the goal isn't better attendance numbers. The goal is Jesus. In Episode 51, we explore: 🍯 Why Gen Z women may be disengaging from church 🍯 The surprising gender shift among young Christians 🍯 Church hurt, hypocrisy, and leadership failures 🍯 Why single women can feel overlooked in church 🍯 Loneliness and the need to feel seen and known 🍯 Whether we've lost intergenerational mentorship 🍯 What older Christian women can offer younger generations 🍯 Why relationships may matter more than another church program Timestamps: 00:00 - Gen Z revival… but where are the women? 08:00 - Why are young women walking away? 18:00 - Church hurt, culture & belonging 30:00 - Have we lost intergenerational mentorship? 42:00 - What Gen Z women need from the Church Scripture References: Titus 2:3–51 Corinthians 12:12–27Hebrews 10:24–25John 13:34–35 Watch or listen: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HoneyThatsGrace ▶️ Rumble: https://www.rumble.com/HoneyThatsGrace 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/honey-thats-grace/id1853852905 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Xh2yQLl6fjlplZyaGReqy 🌐 honeythatsgrace.com 💬 We want to hear from women on this one: Have you ever stepped away from church? What made you leave? What made you stay? And if you came back, what brought you back? Maybe the question isn't simply: “Why are Gen Z women leaving?” Maybe Christians also need to ask: “What are they trying to tell us, and are we willing to listen?” #HoneyThatsGrace #GenZWomen #ChristianWomen #ChristianPodcast #ChurchHurt #Faith #Jesus #Christianity #WomenOfFaith

    Episode 50: Is Gen Z Really Having a Christian Revival?

    Something is happening with Gen Z. They’re talking about Jesus. Buying Bibles. Showing up at worship gatherings. Sharing their faith online. Christian music is reaching unexpected audiences. And a generation that grew up surrounded by anxiety, isolation, algorithms, COVID, and constant access to information seems to be asking some very big questions about truth, meaning, purpose, and God. So naturally, people are asking: Are we witnessing a Gen Z Christian revival? Maybe. But being curious about Jesus isn’t the same as following Jesus. And Christianity becoming culturally appealing isn’t necessarily the same as revival. So what ARE we seeing? For our 50TH EPISODE 🎉 of Honey, That’s Grace, we’re talking about Gen Z’s growing spiritual curiosity and what it could mean for the Church. Because Gen Z is bringing questions about mental health, sexuality, church hurt, science, truth, identity, anxiety, purpose, and whether they can trust the institutions asking them to believe. “Because that’s what we’ve always believed” probably isn’t going to cut it. They want to ask hard questions.They want to be heard.They want something real. And if they’re looking toward Jesus, the Church has an incredible opportunity to meet them there. Not by criticizing how they found Him or expecting them to look exactly like the generations before them. But by listening. Discipling. Teaching truth. Making room for questions. And pointing them back to Jesus. In Episode 50, we explore: 🍯 Revival vs. spiritual curiosity🍯 Why Gen Z may be searching for deeper meaning and truth🍯 How anxiety, isolation, COVID, and social media shaped this generation🍯 Whether social media is helping Gen Z find Jesus🍯 Spiritual interest vs. actually following Christ🍯 Why many young people distrust organized religion🍯 Whether churches are ready for Gen Z’s questions🍯 What mature Christians can learn from younger generations🍯 Why listening may be one of the most important things we can do Timestamps: 00:00 - Our kids hijack the intro 😂01:00 - WE MADE IT TO EPISODE 50! 🎉04:00 - Is a Gen Z Christian revival happening?08:00 - Why Gen Z is searching for something deeper14:00 - Is Christianity becoming “cool” again?20:00 - Spiritual curiosity vs. following Jesus27:00 - Is social media helping Gen Z find Jesus?34:00 - Is the Church ready for Gen Z?40:00 - What mature Christians need to do differently47:00 - Maybe it’s just the beginning Scripture References: Psalm 85:6Acts 2:37–42James 1:22John 14:6Matthew 7:3–5Matthew 13:1–23 Watch or listen: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HoneyThatsGrace▶️ Rumble: https://www.rumble.com/HoneyThatsGrace🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/honey-thats-grace/id1853852905🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Xh2yQLl6fjlplZyaGReqy🌐 honeythatsgrace.com 💬 Do you think we’re seeing genuine revival among Gen Z? 🔥 Yes. Something is happening.🤔 I think it’s spiritual curiosity.🌱 Maybe it’s too early to know.🙏 Whatever it is, I’m praying for this generation. And here’s the bigger question: If Gen Z really is searching for Jesus, is the Church ready to listen to their questions?

    Episode 49: You Can’t Watch Everything. How Do You Keep Your Teen Safe Online?

    Have you ever looked at your teenager’s phone and thought… how am I supposed to protect them from ALL of this? 😳 Because it isn’t just social media anymore. It’s group chats. Gaming. DMs. Disappearing messages. Algorithms. Pornography. Predators. Sextortion. AI companions. Location sharing. And sometimes the scariest part is that our kids don’t even have to go looking for dangerous content anymore. It can find them. So what are parents supposed to do? In Episode 49, we’re having an honest conversation about what it actually looks like to raise teenagers in a digital world. And no, our solution is NOT throwing every phone into the ocean. 😂 Because protecting our kids matters. Monitoring matters. Boundaries matter. But eventually, the rules have to become discernment. And maybe one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves as parents is this: If my teenager got into serious trouble online tonight, would their first thought be, “My parents are going to kill me”… or would it be, “I need my mom. I need my dad. They’ll help me figure this out.” In Episode 49, we explore: Why keeping kids completely offline is no longer a realistic safety strategy Why parents need to understand the apps, games, and platforms their kids are actually using Why disappearing messages and private communication create additional risks How online predators build relationships until they no longer feel like strangers What parents need to know about pornography, sexting, and sextortion How to create a relationship where your child knows they can tell you the truth, even after a serious mistake Why phones and computers may need physical boundaries, especially at night How AI companionship is creating an entirely new online concern for parents Why our own relationship with technology matters more than we may realize Why we cannot protect our children from everything And how faith, prayer, wisdom, boundaries, and an open relationship can help us prepare our kids for a world we cannot completely control Timestamps: 00:00 - How do you keep your teenager safe when you can’t see everything? 03:09 - When dangerous content finds our kids 09:10 - Should parents read their teenager’s messages? 16:40 - Predators, gaming, and why online strangers don’t always feel like strangers 20:28 - Sextortion and the question every parent needs to ask 24:00 - What are WE modeling about technology? Scripture References: Proverbs 22:6 - “Train up a child in the way he should go.” James 1:5 - If any of you lacks wisdom, ask God, who gives generously. Proverbs 4:23 - “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Watch or listen on your favorite platform: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HoneyThatsGrace ▶️ Rumble: https://www.rumble.com/HoneyThatsGrace 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/honey-thats-grace/id1853852905 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Xh2yQLl6fjlplZyaGReqy 🌐 Visit us: honeythatsgrace.com About Honey, That’s Grace: Honey, That’s Grace is a weekly podcast for Christian women who want to strengthen their mental and spiritual health.

    Episode 48: They’re Wrong About You. Do You Correct Them?

    Have you ever typed the entire paragraph, reread it six times… and still felt like you needed to explain yourself ONE more time? 😅 Especially when someone is wrong about you. They misunderstood you. Criticized you. Questioned your intentions. Maybe they even told a version of the story that simply wasn’t true. Everything in you wants to say, “But that’s not what happened.” So when do you speak up, and when do you let them be wrong about you? In Episode 48 of Honey, That’s Grace, we’re talking about one of the hardest parts of conflict: knowing when a conversation is necessary and when another response is only going to steal more of your peace. Because “you don’t have to respond to everything” does NOT mean you should avoid every uncomfortable conversation. Sometimes speaking up is healthy. Sometimes silence is wisdom. Sometimes that six-paragraph text needs to stay in the drafts. 😂 And sometimes the hardest thing you can do is accept that you explained yourself clearly, they still chose not to understand, and you do not have to keep trying to convince them. In Episode 48, we explore: Why being misunderstood can make us desperate to explain ourselves The difference between choosing silence and avoiding necessary conflict Why people pleasing can actually prevent us from being truly known How healthy conflict can strengthen relationships instead of destroying them What happens in your brain and body when you become emotionally flooded during conflict Why anger itself is not the problem, but what we choose to do with it matters How to recognize when you are responding from fight, flight, freeze, or fawn Why some conversations should NEVER happen over text How to tell whether someone genuinely wants to understand you or simply wants to stay angry Why Christians do not have to correct every wrong opinion, hot take, or comment on social media How Jesus modeled knowing when to engage and when to walk away What to ask yourself before you hit send And how the Holy Spirit helps us respond with love, wisdom, gentleness, and self-control Timestamps: 00:00 - When should you speak up, and when should you stay quiet? 08:37 - Why being misunderstood feels so uncomfortable 12:21 - What happens when conflict emotionally floods us 20:17 - Why some conversations should never happen over text 26:36 - When someone is committed to misunderstanding you 30:28 - Christians, social media, and the pressure to correct everything 33:04 - What to do before you hit send Scripture References: Ephesians 4:15 - Speak the truth in love. Ephesians 4:26 - “In your anger do not sin.” James 1:19 - Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. Galatians 5:22–23 - The fruit of the Spirit includes love, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control. Romans 12:18 - As far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
