Between Grace & Truth

This week, we’re getting real about what it looks like to keep God first when life gets busy, stressful, and sometimes just plain exhausting. We share a little about our own week—the good, the difficult, and the everyday things we’re walking through—and talk about how we try to keep our focus on Christ through it all.We also answer a question from one of our listeners: How do we actually study the Bible? We talk about our approach to Scripture, why we’ve enjoyed reading through the Bible chronologically, and why the goal isn’t simply to follow a reading plan—it’s to know God, understand His Word, and allow it to change the way we live.Following Jesus doesn’t happen outside of real life. It happens right in the middle of it.Join us as we continue the conversation Between Grace & Truth.

What does it really mean to surrender your life to Christ?In Episode 2, Mike and Jackie continue the conversation about their faith journey and what God has been teaching them about true surrender. They talk about what it means to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Jesus—not just with your words, but with your plans, relationships, finances, business, and every part of your life.Surrender isn’t a one-time decision. It’s a daily choice to loosen our grip on what we want and trust God with what He wants.“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” — Luke 9:23

Welcome to the very first episode of Between Grace & Truth.In this episode, we’re introducing ourselves, sharing a little of our story, and talking about why we felt led to start this podcast in the first place. We talk about what has changed in our lives and our faith, what God has been teaching us, and why we believe there’s value in having honest conversations about following Christ in everyday life.We don’t have everything figured out and that’s really the point. Between Grace & Truth is a place for real conversations about faith, marriage, family, struggles, growth, and learning what it looks like to walk with God in the middle of ordinary life.This is the beginning of something we’ve felt called to step into, and we’re excited to see where God takes it.Thanks for joining us at the beginning.
