Grace Isn't Permission Series - Ep 4 - Mercy Finds You...Grace Transforms You

Mercy meets you where you are—but grace refuses to leave you there.In this episode of the Soul Food Podcast, Pastor Judy Lamborn breaks down the difference between God’s mercy and His grace. Mercy finds us in our brokenness. It shields us from the judgment we deserve. But grace? Grace doesn’t just forgive—it transforms. It empowers. It calls us to rise.In a world that preaches self-help and quick fixes, the truth is that only Jesus can truly change a heart. This episode is a call to move from survival to surrender, from being comforted in your pain to being called into your purpose.🎙️ In this episode:What mercy really is—and how it differs from graceHow grace empowers obedience, not just forgivenessThe danger of staying stuck at the mercy levelWhy grace is the fuel for transformation and purpose📖 Featured Scriptures (NLT):Lamentations 3:22–23 — His mercies are new every morningEphesians 2:8–10 — Grace saves and prepares us for purposeTitus 3:4–5 — Mercy saves, grace renewsHebrews 4:16 — Mercy and grace at the throneJohn 1:14 — Jesus came full of grace and truth🛠️ Resources Mentioned:The Freedom Collection – audio devotionals, journals, and healing tools🔗 https://linktr.ee/judylamborn30 Days to Break Free (audio devotional)God’s Love vs Shame: 30-Day Affirmation ManualShame Breaker's Toolbox📩 Prayer requests: [email protected] 📱 Follow: @judylamborn on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X#SoulFoodPodcast #GraceIsntPermission #MercyAndGrace #ChristianPodcast #WomenInMinistry #TruthInLove #TransformationThroughGrace #BiblicalTruth #TheFreedomCollection
