    From a Life of Effort to a Life of Grace: Courtney Ballard :: [Episode 346]

    Today's episode wraps up our three-week "Religion to Relationship" series, and, once again, it focuses our eyes on the beauty of God's grace and how this gift plays a key role in our relationship with Him.   Courtney Ballard, from our Tupelo, Mississippi community, grew up as a pastor's kid, always aware of God and His existence, and working hard to be the "angel child" others expected her to be. However, this self-imposed title created a life pattern for Courtney of living for people and their applause, rather than living for God alone. She soon found herself at a crossroads—would she choose God's grace or her own efforts and good intentions?  Listen and find out what the Lord revealed! ____________________________________   VERSE OF THE WEEK: "Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: This week be self-aware of the intentions in your heart and ask - am I living out of God's grace or am I living for the applause of people?   Links:   Listen to this song by Lauren Daigle- Losing My Religion   Listen to a similar story:  Courtney Doyle- Ep. 71: Removing the Masks   Download a phone background of the weekly verse HERE!  (click the link and hold down on the photo to save to your phone)   Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Courtney or any of our past storytellers!!   Become a Patreon Insider to access bonus content~ including a Story Within the Story with Courtney!   Join us live on Thursday, November 6th at 7:00 PM at Samford University Wright Center for a night of worship and fellowship with Ellie Holcomb presented by Portraits of Hope!  Register here and use promo code ELLIE10 for 10% off at checkout!   Shop for our When God Shows Up Bible Study series   Check out all of our live speaking engagement opportunities on our website.   Sign up to receive StoryTellers Live's weekly newsletter for updates and details on our live gatherings.

    Defined by His Grace: Rachel Temple's Story :: [Episode 345]

    Today's podcast places us in the middle of our three-week series "Religion to Relationship", and it's a story many of us can fall victim to - "if I'm just good enough for God, I'll earn His favor and His blessing over my life."   Rachel Temple, from our Pinehurst, North Carolina community, shares her story of growing up under the pressures of having a mother who was an alcoholic and a father who was an enabler, and subsequently succumbing to the role of caretaker in her family while believing the lie that if she could do all the right things for God life would be easier. This theological misunderstanding led Rachel down a path of comparison, depression, insecurity, and despair until the Lord met her and asked, "Will you be defined by your victimhood or by My grace?" - a question that, as you'll hear, changed the trajectory of Rachel's life. _______________________________________________________________________________   VERSE OF THE WEEK: "Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word. You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees." Psalm 119:66-68   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Where are you comparing the goodness of God in your life to the goodness of God in the lives of others? This week shift your thoughts to gratitude and the gift of God's unmerited grace.  ______________________________________________________________________________________   Links:   Breaking Free by Beth Moore   Listen to this song by Lauren Daigle- Losing My Religion   Listen to a similar story:  Ep. 30- Amy Williams: Faith Above Works   Download a phone background of the weekly verse HERE!  (click the link and hold down on the photo to save to your phone)   Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Rachel and all of our past storytellers!!    Become a Patreon Insider to access bonus content~ including a Q & A with Rachel from the Raleigh community.    Register for our Finding God in the Details: A Guide to Discerning His Voice and Discovering Your Story workshops being offered online on October 29th at 9:30-12:30 CST and in-person on November 12th at 5:30-8:00 PM CST   Join us live on Thursday, November 6th at 7:00 PM at Samford University Wright Center for a night of worship and fellowship with Ellie Holcomb presented by Portraits of Hope!  Register here and use promo code ELLIE10 for 10% off at checkout!   Shop for our When God Shows Up Bible Study series   Check out all of our live speaking engagement opportunities on our website.   Sign up to receive StoryTellers Live's weekly newsletter for updates and details on our live gatherings.
