    Ep 22: Grace in the Wreckage

    In Episode 22 of O.P.O.P: Operation Protect Our Peace, Sarah shares a deeply personal, real-time look at what it means to practice grace in the middle of relational wreckage — not after it’s resolved, but while it’s still unfolding. This episode explores how grace shows up when joy and pain collide, when celebration is followed by disappointment, and when boundaries must be held with both friends and family. Sarah opens up about navigating engagement, shifting relational dynamics, family conflict, and the difficult work of protecting peace without hardening the heart. Together, Stacey and Sarah unpack: ​What it looks like to practice grace without self-betrayal​How to release control while still setting boundaries​Why grace does not mean silence, compliance, or enabling​The difference between conviction, anger, and bitterness​How to stay aligned with God when others don’t understand your choices​Why grace must be applied to yourself firstThis conversation is honest, raw, and unfinished — because sometimes grace is lived in the middle, not the ending. 👉 If this episode encouraged you, please like, subscribe, and share.Your support helps this message reach others who are walking through hard seasons right now. 00:00 – Welcome to O-Pop00:30 – Naming the episode: Grace in the Wreckage01:30 – When joy and hardship collide03:00 – Protecting peace with shifting relationships05:15 – Giving too much access vs. healthy boundaries07:35 – Grace with family when beliefs differ10:30 – Choosing grace instead of bitterness13:05 – Learning from past reactions15:35 – Holding compassion without losing yourself18:55 – Living grace in real time22:30 – Final encouragement Where in your life are you being asked to practice grace in the wreckage, not after it’s resolved?We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

    Welcome back to O.P.O.P : Operation Protect Our Peace. Today is Part 2 of our Grace Series, and Stacey opens up about how grace has carried her through some of the hardest seasons of her life — injuries, physical setbacks, personal trials, frustration, loneliness, and moments where faith felt stretched thin. In this heartfelt episode, Stacey shares what it looked like to lean on God when she couldn’t walk, couldn’t work, couldn’t be active, and had to rethink identity, purpose, and strength. We talk about the emotional and spiritual battle that comes with physical pain, and how God uses weakness to reveal His strength. From morning routines and prayer habits, to mindset shifts, Scripture promises, and practical healing tools — Stacey walks us through how grace became more than a concept. It became her lifeline.

    Ep 20: What Is Grace & Why It Matters (Grace Series Part 1)

    Welcome back to O.P.O.P : Operation Protect Our Peace! Today kicks off our 3-part Grace Series, and we’re starting right at the foundation — What Is Grace & Why It Matters.

We talk about dry seasons, spiritual maturity, pride, and the humbling moments that remind us just how much we need Jesus. Grace isn’t something we can earn — it’s a gift. And understanding that gift changes everything about how we live, love, and see ourselves.

    In this heartfelt continuation of O.P.O.P : Operation Protect Our Peace, the condemnation theme, Stacey opens up about a defining moment in her life—when the weight of divorce, disappointment, and shame crashed down all at once.

But in that lowest moment, God surrounded Stacey with the right people—her mom and aunt—who cried with her, prayed with her, declared truth over her, and refused to let her drown in despair. Throughout the episode, Stacey and Sarah unpack: ​How condemnation attacks identity​Why strong people often suffer silently​The difference between mind babble and God’s voice​How the right circle can pull you out of the pit​The “3 P’s” that moved Stacey from indifference to hope:Process • People • Promises​The scriptures that revived her strength​Why no one is exempt from struggle—even positive, resilient people​How anchoring your faith in good seasons prepares you for the hard onesThis episode is a warm, hope-filled guide for anyone walking through heartbreak, disappointment, or internal battles that no one else can see. ✨ Like, subscribe, and share this episode to bring encouragement to someone going through their own valley.

    Ep 18: Condemned but Called

    In this powerful and vulnerable episode of O.P.O.P. : Operation Protect Our Peace, Sarah opens up about three major areas of her life where condemnation tried to take her out—but where God stepped in with conviction, healing, and purpose. Through her stories of divorce, sexual impurity, and childhood molestation, she reveals the subtle, suffocating nature of condemnation—and the freedom that comes when God lifts shame and replaces it with truth. Sarah shares how: ​The enemy used her past to whisper lies like “You’re not worthy to help others”​God used Pastor Inez’s testimony to break shame off her​Deep regret from sexual impurity was met by God’s grace and supernatural intervention​The shame from childhood trauma was replaced by clarity, wisdom, and the ability to help protect others​Healing empowered her to step into ministry and encourage women who feel “too messy” for God to useStacey responds with compassion and powerful reminders that God shows up for anyone willing to let Him in. Together, they unpack how condemnation steals your destiny, while conviction brings growth, freedom, and transformation.
