I love celebrating those moments when it’s so clear that God answered my prayers. Whether it’s the job offer arriving at the perfect time, a loved one’s health turning around, or that “just when I needed it” phone call from a friend. Those "yes" moments are incredible. But, as much as I cherish those times, they aren’t the full picture. Not by a long shot. There have been plenty of times when God’s answers seemed more like a "no," or worse, silence. What do we do when our prayers linger unanswered, or the outcome looks so different from what we hoped for? In this episode, I’ll share how I’ve learned to navigate those seasons of waiting and uncertainty, and where I’ve discovered God’s grace in the silence.

Have you ever felt that gnawing sense of inadequacy when you scroll through social media and see others making what looks like a bigger impact? Had that restless feeling that you should be doing more, making a bigger splash, reaching more people? You’re not alone. I’ve been there too—wrestling with that quiet voice inside asking, “Shouldn’t I be doing something more significant?” A few weeks ago, I was reminded of a journalist who set out on a journey searching for answers to similar questions.

Imagine sitting in a small, dimly lit room, your heart pounding as you wait for something painful that may or may not happen—a shock, literally. The uncertainty of not knowing when, or even if, it will strike hangs over you like a storm cloud. Then, you’re presented with a choice: wait it out or press the button and shock yourself right now to end the waiting. What would you do? Surprisingly, a study from the University of Virginia found that many people chose to endure the pain immediately rather than face the discomfort of uncertainty. This fascinating insight gives us a glimpse into how we handle the unknown—and how much we fear it. What if we could embrace the unknown as a space where we slow down, notice God, and trust the process, rather than rushing into action? Today, we’re exploring how to find peace and grace in seasons where the way forward isn’t clear, and why it’s okay to not have all the answers. Tune in to learn: How to navigate uncertainty with grace and patience. Why forcing action can increase stress rather than relieve it. The benefits of slowing down and noticing God’s presence in the unknown. Practical ways to trust God when you don't have a clear plan. How embracing uncertainty can open the door to new possibilities and deeper trust. Uncertainty might be uncomfortable, but it’s also where we can experience the wonder of walking with God, one step at a time. 💡Today’s Big Idea: When the way is unclear, God is still near. ⚡️Today’s Small Step: Pause in the midst of your uncertainty and just notice and enjoy what God has for you there. **** LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE: The Pace of Grace Community : Learn more or join for only $10 a month.

Have you ever felt like life is a never-ending uphill battle, where every task feels like scaling Mount Everest? You're not alone. Recently, I found myself in that very place—both literally and metaphorically—during a sweltering summer hike. In my determination to power through, I ignored the quiet nudge to take it slow and enjoy the journey. The result? A rather embarrassing episode that left me lying flat in the middle of the street, wondering why I hadn’t just made it easier on myself. It got me thinking: What if we approached life’s challenges with grace instead of grit? What if we made room for rest, let go of the pressure to always achieve more, and listened to that gentle voice asking, “What if you made this easy?” God’s grace isn’t about doing all the things perfectly. It isn’t even about doing all the things; it’s about knowing when to give ourselves the space to breathe and take the next step with intention. There’s wisdom in that, and today, I’m diving into how we can shift our mindset from striving to thriving by making things easier—not harder. Tune in to discover how to: Tackle one major change at a time to avoid overwhelm. Break big goals into smaller, manageable steps. Focus on progress over perfection. Maintain a sustainable pace for long-term success. Schedule rest and reflection to refresh your spirit. 💡Today’s Big Idea: When you can, make it easy. ⚡️Today’s Small Step: Choose one area of your life, and find one way to make it easy or at least easier. **** LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE: The Pace of Grace Community : Learn more or join for only $10 a month.

Discover the often overlooked yet profoundly transformative power of spiritual practices. In a world that constantly pushes us to do more and be more, we’re turning to the ancient, counter-cultural path of slowing down and drawing closer to God through intentional practices.

Tune in to learn: Intentional Connection vs. Mere Activity: How spiritual practices help us prioritize being with God over simply doing more. Quality vs. Quantity: The importance of being present with God, focusing on the depth of our relationship rather than the number of activities we perform.

The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem. The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.” Richard Foster “There was a point where I felt utterly burnt out, and I questioned whether true spiritual transformation was even possible. It wasn’t until I embraced practices like Sabbath, simplicity, and silence that I found the rest my soul desperately needed.” John Mark Comer "The greatest threat to devotion to Christ is service for Christ."

While our everyday life might feel far from an adventure, God is continually inviting us into His greater grace. Whether it's wrestling with daily commitments or stepping into unknown territories, our walk with God is an ongoing, dynamic journey. We often face moments of hesitation and fear, but it’s through these very challenges that we experience God’s transformative grace. Today, we’ll explore how to recognize and respond to God's invitations to deeper intimacy and greater grace. We'll break down this journey into five practical movements: recognizing God’s grace, releasing self-reliance, receiving His provision, risking new steps of faith, and resting in His assurance. Learn how to use a simple, repeatable roadmap to accept God’s invitation to greater grace: Recognize: Acknowledge that God always has grace available for every need. Release: Let go of self-reliant habits and trust in God's provision. Receive: Openly accept God's grace for each step of the journey. Risk: Take bold steps of faith, trusting God’s guidance and provision. Rest: Find peace and assurance in God’s continual grace, regardless of circumstances. 💡Today’s Big Idea: God is inviting us to greater grace. ⚡️Today’s Small Step: Ask God to show you one small but transformational invitation He wants to offer you. **** QUOTES “Grace is God's continuous action in our lives, enabling us to do what we cannot do on our own.” Dallas Willard **** LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE: Practicing the Way Group: Learn more at www.PaceOfGrace.Com/community The Pace of Grace Community : Learn more or join for only $10 a month.
