Grace in the Breaking

Elizabeth Everett

Grace in the Breaking is a faith-anchored podcast for anyone walking through loss, uncertainty, or seasons that feel overwhelming. Hosted by Elizabeth Everett, the show explores what happens when life strips away what once felt secure—and God reveals what truly remains. After a rapid unraveling of health, marriage, career, relationships, and watching her son battle addiction, Elizabeth found herself at the end of her own strength. It was there—pressed, undone, and surrendered—that she discovered a deeper truth: God was enough, and she was never alone. Each episode creates a safe, honest space for those whose faith has been tested by fire. Grace in the Breaking speaks to unanswered prayers, silent waiting, and the refining moments that feel like loss but are actually preparation. Through real stories, reflection, and hope rooted in Scripture, the podcast reminds listeners that purpose is often born in the pressing—and grace meets us right in the middle of the breaking.

    Ep. 11 - Prodigals Do Come Home

    Send us Fan Mail Elizabeth Everett shares a deeply personal and faith centered message about prodigals, the painful seasons when someone we love walks away from God, truth, or the life they were created for. Drawing from her own experience as both a former prodigal and a mother who has walked through the heartbreak of watching a child struggle, Elizabeth speaks honestly about the emotional toll, the spiritual warfare, and the temptation to give up hope. Grounded in biblical truth and scripture including Isaiah 49:25, Luke 15, and Psalms 34:18, she reminds listeners that God has not abandoned their children or loved ones. Even when the situation looks impossible, the Lord promises to contend for us and rescue those who are lost. Elizabeth explains why loving a prodigal requires both compassion and healthy boundaries, why enabling can unintentionally prolong destructive cycles, and why surrendering our loved ones fully to God is often the turning point. Through prayer, testimony, and practical encouragement, she teaches listeners how to stand firm in faith, reject the lies of the enemy, and pray boldly for God to break deception, strongholds, and spiritual bondage over their prodigal’s life. She also challenges families to examine their own words, attitudes, and responses so they can meet their loved ones with the same grace Jesus has shown them. For anyone walking through the pain of watching a child, family member, or loved one drift away, this message is a reminder that prodigals do return, God still redeems, and no story is beyond the reach of His grace.

    Ep. 10 - What Is Your Why

    Send a text Elizabeth Everett challenges listeners to examine the real reason behind their drive, endurance, and faith. Many people feel stuck, burned out, or discouraged not because they are weak, but because their “why” has been built on approval, success, comfort, or validation instead of Christ. Drawing from her own journey through burnout, divorce, and seasons of hope deferred, Elizabeth explains how surface level motivations eventually collapse under pressure. When identity and purpose are rooted in human approval, criticism and delay can cause people to lose momentum and retreat into fear or isolation. She contrasts those temporary motivations with a kingdom centered why anchored in obedience to Jesus. Referencing scripture and the example of Christ enduring the cross, Elizabeth reminds listeners that a Christ centered purpose can withstand disappointment, pruning seasons, and spiritual warfare. True endurance comes from surrender, not striving. This message calls believers to stop chasing validation and begin asking God what their true purpose is. When your why is anchored in Jesus, obedience replaces burnout and faith carries you through every season.

    Ep. 8 - New Age Danger

    Send us Fan Mail Elizabeth Everett sits down with former New Age practitioner Jerold Limongelli for a bold and eye-opening conversation about New Age spirituality, yoga, Reiki, tarot cards, crystals, manifestation, and metaphysical healing. After spending ten years immersed in the New Age occult, Gerald shares how practices that seem harmless can open spiritual doors and create hidden covenants that impact your faith, mind, and soul. Together, they explore the difference between self-reliance and surrender to Jesus, the spiritual risks behind energy healing and chakra alignment, and how subtle deception can pull believers away from biblical truth. Gerald recounts his radical encounter with Jesus Christ, the immediate deliverance that followed, and why he believes many people searching for self-love and enlightenment are ultimately searching for God. If you have ever dabbled in tarot readings, psychedelics, crystals, or Christian yoga, this episode challenges you to examine what you may be agreeing with spiritually and invites you into freedom through Christ.

    Ep. 7 - Stuck Isn’t Your Story

    Send us Fan Mail Why do the same painful cycles keep repeating in your life? Why does it feel like you are trying to move forward, but something keeps pulling you back? Elizabeth Everett takes an honest look at what it really means to be stuck. From toxic relationships and unhealthy patterns to seeking validation, fear, and spiritual strongholds, she walks through the deeper roots that keep us trapped. She shares how repetitive cycles of pain, trauma, and offense can delay purpose, and how shifting your mindset to gratitude can change everything. If you have been stuck in a relationship that is draining you, a job that is burning you out, or habits that are stealing your joy, this conversation will challenge you to recognize the pattern, create an exit plan, and surrender it to God. Through scripture, prayer, and practical steps, Elizabeth reminds you that you are not defined by your past or by other people’s opinions. You are called, qualified, and deeply loved. It is time to stop looking back and start walking forward in faith, freedom, and purpose.

    Ep. 6 - Idols & Impact: Part 2

    Send us Fan Mail Elizabeth Everett continues the conversation on idols and impact with Vince DelMonte, sharing how idols can hide in plain sight through work, validation, money, pride, and even the image of a perfect family. Vince opens up about moving from Canada to Franklin, Tennessee, the painful fallout of separation, and what it looked like when the Lord began stripping away self-reliance and reordering his life around surrender, obedience, and peace. They talk honestly about the cost of living out of order, how rejection can expose deeper insecurities, why being unequally yoked can quietly break a foundation, and how God can redeem what feels catastrophic. Vince shares what rebuilding has looked like as a dad, the shift from chasing success to prioritizing time, presence, and spiritual leadership, and why cycles keep repeating until we’re willing to see them and break them.

    Ep. 5 - Idols & Impact: Part 1

    Send us Fan Mail Elizabeth Everett invites you into a raw and deeply personal conversation about modern idols and the subtle ways they take root in our lives. From success, money, and career to relationships, people pleasing, self image, and the need for approval, this reflection asks hard questions about what we place above God and the cost of doing so. Drawing from her own story of trauma, marriage, ambition, pride, and burnout, Elizabeth shares how chasing security, recognition, and control slowly dismantled her peace, her family, and her sense of purpose. She unpacks how idols multiply, how they distort identity, and how they keep us striving in our own strength instead of resting in obedience. Through Scripture, honesty, and lived experience, this episode offers an invitation to identify what has taken God’s rightful place, surrender it fully, and begin the slow but freeing work of realignment. This is a call to pause, reflect, repent, and reposition your life at the feet of Jesus, trusting that what God removes, He replaces with something far better. If you have ever felt stuck, exhausted, driven by fear or approval, or torn between obedience and ambition, this message meets you right where you are and reminds you that grace is always present in the breaking.

    Ep. 4 - Word Curses

    Send us Fan Mail Elizabeth Everett invites listeners to take an honest look at the words we speak and the power they carry. From everyday phrases we say without thinking to deeper labels spoken over us in childhood or moments of anger, this conversation centers on how words become seeds that shape our lives. Through scripture, prayer, and real reflection, Elizabeth talks about unintentional word curses, gossip, agreement with negativity, and how easily we can begin to believe lies that were never meant to define us. She encourages practicing the pause, taking thoughts captive, choosing repentance over shame, and consciously speaking life over ourselves and others. The message is clear and personal. Words matter. They can build, heal, and bring freedom, or they can wound and imprison. The invitation here is to choose life, walk in love, and let your voice be used with intention, authority, and grace.

    Ep. 3 - A Hardened Heart

    Send us Fan Mail Unforgiveness can quietly take root and shape your thoughts, your words, your relationships, and even your health. In this episode of Grace in the Breaking, host Elizabeth Everett shares a raw and deeply personal reflection on how unforgiveness hardened her heart over decades and how surrendering it to Jesus began a slow but powerful healing process. Elizabeth speaks honestly about betrayal, pride, control, and isolation, and how these cycles affected her marriages, family relationships, and sense of peace. She explores forgiveness as a heart posture rather than a one time action and explains why forgiving others is often more about freedom for yourself than reconciliation with them. This conversation is an invitation to examine the patterns in your own life, recognize how unforgiveness may be showing up, and take the first steps toward healing, compassion, and restoration through faith.
