Grace in the Breaking

Grace in the Breaking is a faith-anchored podcast for anyone walking through loss, uncertainty, or seasons that feel overwhelming. Hosted by Elizabeth Everett, the show explores what happens when life strips away what once felt secure—and God reveals what truly remains.After a rapid unraveling of health, marriage, career, relationships, and watching her son battle addiction, Elizabeth found herself at the end of her own strength. It was there—pressed, undone, and surrendered—that she discovered a deeper truth: God was enough, and she was never alone.Each episode creates a safe, honest space for those whose faith has been tested by fire. Grace in the Breaking speaks to unanswered prayers, silent waiting, and the refining moments that feel like loss but are actually preparation. Through real stories, reflection, and hope rooted in Scripture, the podcast reminds listeners that purpose is often born in the pressing—and grace meets us right in the middl

    Ep. 16 - Why God Feels Silent When You Need Him The Most

    Send us Fan MailElizabeth Everett addresses one of the most painful spiritual seasons a believer can face — the silence of God. When prayers go unanswered, when fasting produces no breakthrough, and when heaven feels completely still, the enemy rushes in with lies of rejection, unworthiness, and abandonment. Elizabeth speaks directly to that place and refuses to let those lies go unchallenged.Drawing from her own season of breaking — marked by divorce, health crises, the loss of close friends, and a son's overdose — Elizabeth shares how she kept pressing into God even when she could not hear him. She unpacks the story of Joseph, who endured betrayal, slavery, and imprisonment with no new word from God, yet watched heaven orchestrate every detail behind the scenes. The silence was not punishment. It was preparation.Elizabeth walks through what God is actually doing in the quiet: building character, removing what cannot sustain the promise, healing deep wounds, and aligning kingdom relationships. She challenges listeners to surrender their timeline, take every lying thought captive, and trust that delay is not denial. Rooted in scriptures from Psalms, Isaiah, James, Jeremiah, and Hebrews, this episode is both a spiritual reality check and a call to persevere with faith when nothing around you is moving.The silence is not the absence of God. It is where faith is born.Learn more about: Happy Horizons Children's RanchGrab your copy of Elizabeth’s new book, The Breaking: The Season That Almost Took Me Out and the God Who Didn't, here!Contact Elizabeth Everett:                                                                                               Website: graceinthebreaking.com                                                                          Email: [email protected]                                                                        Instagram: @graceinthebreaking                                                                                YouTube: @GraceintheBreaking

    Ep. 15 - Your Body Remembers What You Didn't Heal

    Send us Fan MailElizabeth Everett shares a direct and faith-centered message about how the body holds onto unhealed pain and why so many people remain stuck in survival mode long after the situation has passed. She walks through the connection between trauma, fight or flight responses, and the spiritual reality that healing cannot happen without inviting God into the places that were never fully processed.She challenges the idea that constant exhaustion is just part of life, revealing how the body continues fighting battles that are already over. From heart palpitations to emotional triggers, these responses are not random. They are signals pointing to wounds that still need healing. Elizabeth calls listeners to recognize these patterns, set healthy boundaries, and stop normalizing chaos as a way of living.Grounded in biblical truth, this episode emphasizes that deliverance and healing happen together when God is invited into the memory. Elizabeth speaks openly about generational survival patterns, fear, and the cycles that keep people stuck, while offering a clear path forward through renewing the mind, prayer, and community. She reminds listeners that God is not calling them to cope but to be fully healed and free.This is a call to bring what is hidden into the light, interrupt destructive patterns, and step into the peace and freedom that come through Jesus. Healing is not separate from God. It is the heart of who He is.Learn more about: Happy Horizons Children's RanchGrab your copy of Elizabeth’s new book, The Breaking: The Season That Almost Took Me Out and the God Who Didn't, here!Contact Elizabeth Everett:                                                                                               Website: graceinthebreaking.com                                                                          Email: [email protected]                                                                        Instagram: @graceinthebreaking                                                                                YouTube: @GraceintheBreaking

    Ep. 14 - Character over Comfort: Becoming Who God Can Trust

    Send us Fan MailElizabeth Everett delivers a direct and deeply personal message about the tension between calling and character, challenging listeners to examine who they truly are behind closed doors. Drawing from her own journey through pride, pressure, and brokenness, she reveals how a lack of discipline, integrity, and surrender can quietly sabotage the very promises we pray for.She confronts the reality that not every closed door is spiritual warfare. Some are consequences of unrefined character. Through repentance, accountability, and daily renewal, Elizabeth shares how God strips away what is not aligned in order to prepare us for what is. This episode explores the cost of chasing validation, the weight of striving without surrender, and the hard truth that transformation requires dying to the old self.Grounded in scripture and real-life conviction, this message calls for a deep heart check. It invites listeners to stop blaming others, confront repeated patterns, and take ownership of their spiritual growth. True healing begins not just with revelation, but with responsibility.This is not about condemnation. It is about refinement, obedience, and becoming someone who can sustain the blessings they are asking for. God is not withholding from you. He is preparing you.Learn more about: Advocates for Africa & Happy Horizons Children's RanchGrab your copy of Elizabeth’s new book, The Breaking: The Season That Almost Took Me Out and the God Who Didn't, here!Contact Elizabeth Everett:                                                                                               Website: graceinthebreaking.com                                                                          Email: [email protected]                                                                        Instagram: @graceinthebreaking                                                                                YouTube: @GraceintheBreaking

    Ep. 13 - You Deserve To Be Loved - Stop Striving, Start Surrendering

    Send us Fan MailElizabeth Everett delivers a bold and faith-centered message about breaking free from striving, burnout, and performance-based identity to fully surrender to the love of Jesus Christ. Drawing from her own experience with overworking, emotional exhaustion, and chasing validation, she confronts the cycle of overperforming and the emptiness it creates when identity is rooted in achievement instead of truth.She challenges listeners to examine the patterns keeping them stuck, from seeking approval to battling self-doubt, condemnation, and comparison. Through biblical truth and personal testimony, Elizabeth highlights how surrender becomes the turning point where transformation begins. The breaking is not destruction, but a refining process where old identities fall away and a new creation in Christ emerges.Grounded in scripture like 1 John 4:4, Romans 8:1, Jeremiah 1:5, and Ephesians 3:20, this message calls believers back to their true foundation. It emphasizes that God’s love is not earned through performance but freely given through grace.

    Ep. 11 - Prodigals Do Come Home

    Send us Fan MailElizabeth Everett shares a deeply personal and faith centered message about prodigals, the painful seasons when someone we love walks away from God, truth, or the life they were created for. Drawing from her own experience as both a former prodigal and a mother who has walked through the heartbreak of watching a child struggle, Elizabeth speaks honestly about the emotional toll, the spiritual warfare, and the temptation to give up hope.Grounded in biblical truth and scripture including Isaiah 49:25, Luke 15, and Psalms 34:18, she reminds listeners that God has not abandoned their children or loved ones. Even when the situation looks impossible, the Lord promises to contend for us and rescue those who are lost. Elizabeth explains why loving a prodigal requires both compassion and healthy boundaries, why enabling can unintentionally prolong destructive cycles, and why surrendering our loved ones fully to God is often the turning point.Through prayer, testimony, and practical encouragement, she teaches listeners how to stand firm in faith, reject the lies of the enemy, and pray boldly for God to break deception, strongholds, and spiritual bondage over their prodigal’s life. She also challenges families to examine their own words, attitudes, and responses so they can meet their loved ones with the same grace Jesus has shown them.For anyone walking through the pain of watching a child, family member, or loved one drift away, this message is a reminder that prodigals do return, God still redeems, and no story is beyond the reach of His grace.Learn more about: Advocates for Africa & Happy Horizons Children's RanchGrab your copy of Elizabeth’s new book, The Breaking: The Season That Almost Took Me Out and the God Who Didn't, here!Contact Elizabeth Everett:                                                                                               Website: graceinthebreaking.com                                                                          Email: [email protected]                                                                        Instagram: @graceinthebreaking                                                                                YouTube: @GraceintheBreaking

    Ep. 10 - What Is Your Why

    Send us Fan MailElizabeth Everett challenges listeners to examine the real reason behind their drive, endurance, and faith. Many people feel stuck, burned out, or discouraged not because they are weak, but because their “why” has been built on approval, success, comfort, or validation instead of Christ.Drawing from her own journey through burnout, divorce, and seasons of hope deferred, Elizabeth explains how surface level motivations eventually collapse under pressure. When identity and purpose are rooted in human approval, criticism and delay can cause people to lose momentum and retreat into fear or isolation.She contrasts those temporary motivations with a kingdom centered why anchored in obedience to Jesus. Referencing scripture and the example of Christ enduring the cross, Elizabeth reminds listeners that a Christ centered purpose can withstand disappointment, pruning seasons, and spiritual warfare. True endurance comes from surrender, not striving.This message calls believers to stop chasing validation and begin asking God what their true purpose is. When your why is anchored in Jesus, obedience replaces burnout and faith carries you through every season.Learn more about: Advocates for Africa & Happy Horizons Children's RanchGrab your copy of Elizabeth’s new book, The Breaking: The Season That Almost Took Me Out and the God Who Didn't, here!Contact Elizabeth Everett:                                                                                               Website: graceinthebreaking.com                                                                          Email: [email protected]                                                                        Instagram: @graceinthebreaking                                                                                YouTube: @GraceintheBreaking

After spending ten years immersed in the New Age occult, Gerald shares how practices that seem harmless can open spiritual doors and create hidden covenants that impact your faith, mind, and soul.Together, they explore the difference between self-reliance and surrender to Jesus, the spiritual risks behind energy healing and chakra alignment, and how subtle deception can pull believers away from biblical truth.

Vince opens up about moving from Canada to Franklin, Tennessee, the painful fallout of separation, and what it looked like when the Lord began stripping away self-reliance and reordering his life around surrender, obedience, and peace.They talk honestly about the cost of living out of order, how rejection can expose deeper insecurities, why being unequally yoked can quietly break a foundation, and how God can redeem what feels catastrophic. Vince shares what rebuilding has looked like as a dad, the shift from chasing success to prioritizing time, presence, and spiritual leadership, and why cycles keep repeating until we’re willing to see them and break them.Learn more about: Advocates for Africa & Happy Horizons Children's RanchContact Elizabeth Everett:                                                                                               Website: graceinthebreaking.com                                                                          Email: [email protected]                                                                        Instagram: @graceinthebreaking                                                                                YouTube: @GraceintheBreaking

    Ep. 5 - Idols & Impact: Part 1

    Send us Fan MailElizabeth Everett invites you into a raw and deeply personal conversation about modern idols and the subtle ways they take root in our lives. From success, money, and career to relationships, people pleasing, self image, and the need for approval, this reflection asks hard questions about what we place above God and the cost of doing so.Drawing from her own story of trauma, marriage, ambition, pride, and burnout, Elizabeth shares how chasing security, recognition, and control slowly dismantled her peace, her family, and her sense of purpose. She unpacks how idols multiply, how they distort identity, and how they keep us striving in our own strength instead of resting in obedience.Through Scripture, honesty, and lived experience, this episode offers an invitation to identify what has taken God’s rightful place, surrender it fully, and begin the slow but freeing work of realignment. This is a call to pause, reflect, repent, and reposition your life at the feet of Jesus, trusting that what God removes, He replaces with something far better.If you have ever felt stuck, exhausted, driven by fear or approval, or torn between obedience and ambition, this message meets you right where you are and reminds you that grace is always present in the breaking.Learn more about: Advocates for Africa & Happy Horizons Children's RanchContact Elizabeth Everett:                                                                                               Website: graceinthebreaking.com                                                                          Email: [email protected]                                                                        Instagram: @graceinthebreaking                                                                                YouTube: @GraceintheBreaking

From everyday phrases we say without thinking to deeper labels spoken over us in childhood or moments of anger, this conversation centers on how words become seeds that shape our lives. Through scripture, prayer, and real reflection, Elizabeth talks about unintentional word curses, gossip, agreement with negativity, and how easily we can begin to believe lies that were never meant to define us. She encourages practicing the pause, taking thoughts captive, choosing repentance over shame, and consciously speaking life over ourselves and others. The message is clear and personal. Words matter. They can build, heal, and bring freedom, or they can wound and imprison.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

Grace in the Breaking is a faith-anchored podcast for anyone walking through loss, uncertainty, or seasons that feel overwhelming. Hosted by Elizabeth Everett, the show explores what happens when life strips away what once felt secure—and God reveals what truly remains.After a rapid unraveling of health, marriage, career, relationships, and watching her son battle addiction, Elizabeth found herself at the end of her own strength. It was there—pressed, undone, and surrendered—that she discovered a deeper truth: God was enough, and she was never alone.Each episode creates a safe, honest space for those whose faith has been tested by fire. Grace in the Breaking speaks to unanswered prayers, silent waiting, and the refining moments that feel like loss but are actually preparation. Through real stories, reflection, and hope rooted in Scripture, the podcast reminds listeners that purpose is often born in the pressing—and grace meets us right in the middl
