Ep. 52 Chasing Grace | Carol McLeod

Have you ever tucked something precious away for safekeeping—a piece of jewelry, a meaningful letter, or a memory too fragile to touch? In a world that feels like it’s spinning out of control, it’s tempting to do the same with our hearts. But what if grace isn’t meant to be stored away? What if chasing grace is your invitation to live wide open—to risk joy, to embrace today, and to let go of fear?

It always comes back to bless you too.” “We can't be captivated by the offense or the offender. We have to be captivated by Jesus.” “Be honest about where you are in your circumstances. Because if we need more grace, all we have to do is ask for it—and He will give it to us, lavishly and abundantly.” Key Scripture: "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men..."
