You’ll learn: How to recognize patterns and start interrupting the destructive cycles in your life before they take hold.Tools to help you to renew your mind and walk into lasting transformation.

“Grace That Saves … and Keeps You: Understanding the Gift You Can’t Earn” With Kristel Acevedo, Meredith Brock, and Kaley Olson

We talk about grace a lot — but do we actually understand it? For many of us, grace feels like the doorway into faith … yet something we quietly try to “maintain” through our own effort. What if God never intended you to earn what He freely gives? In today’s episode, writer and Bible teacher Kristel Acevedo joins Meredith Brock and Kaley Olson for a deeply clarifying conversation about the kind of grace Scripture describes — the grace that saves us and keeps us. Through biblical teaching, real-life stories, and practical wisdom, Kristel helps us see why striving leaves us exhausted, how sanctification actually works, and why resting in God’s unshakable love is the starting place for real spiritual transformation. If you’re tired of trying to be “good enough,” wrestling with shame, or wondering whether you’ve used up all of God’s patience, this episode will breathe fresh hope into your heart. Grace isn’t a one-time gift. It’s the ongoing work of God in you — today, tomorrow, and every day after. You’ll learn: What Scripture means when it says we are saved by grace — and why that same grace is what transforms us daily.The difference between working for God’s acceptance and living from your secure identity in Christ.How sanctification really happens, and why slowing down helps us recognize the Holy Spirit’s work in us.Why sharing grace with others matters, and how God can use your life to draw people to Himself.
