I make mistakes. I don't explain the Word of God in a way that will resonate with everyone. I am not going to get it right all the time, and nor will any teacher, preacher, YouTuber, or pastor. I believe we can learn so much from each other, but no person's teaching can replace getting into the Bible yourself.

Today Melissa speaks on a topic that has been plaguing her personal life lately: Judgment. She discusses both feeling judged and judging others, and how she thought that becoming a Christian would make her less judgmental -- but now she just finds herself judging others in different ways. She shares some Biblical Truth about how we are to conduct our lives as believers, as well as a reminder that God's grace is sufficient for when we fall short.Join every day on YouTube for reading and praying the Bible. https://www.youtube.com/@EmbodiedbyGrace/videosTo support Embodied by Grace: https://buymeacoffee.com/embodiedbygraceFollow Embodied by Grace on IG and TikTok: @embodiedbygraceFor collaborations or partnerships: [email protected] from this episode: “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” ~ Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭“There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?” ~ James‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭“You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things." ~ Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬ ‭“for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:” ~ Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ “And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;" ~ Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭Romans 14A Message from Melissa:“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” (1 Thess.‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬): Study the Scripture for yourself and remember that I am just a person sharing the Gospel.

In this episode Melissa shares a glimpse into her negative thought spiral of self-doubt, confusion, and feelings of inadequacy around teaching the Bible. She ends with a message that as Christians we need to stick together, give each grace, and remember the big picture when it comes to sharing the faith.Verses mentioned in this episode: “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” ~ ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬ “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” ~ Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬ ‭“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” ~ 1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ Join every day on YouTube for reading and praying the Bible. https://www.youtube.com/@EmbodiedbyGrace/videosFollow Embodied by Grace on IG and TikTok: @embodiedbygraceFor collaborations or partnerships: [email protected] support Embodied by Grace: https://buymeacoffee.com/embodiedbygraceA Message from Melissa:“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” (1 Thess.‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬): Study the Scripture for yourself and remember that I am just a person sharing the Gospel.

Today Melissa discusses a topic she has been learning about in school recently: What the Bible says (or doesn't say) about concepts such as love and like, how we are to conduct ourselves based on these Truths, and why it's okay if we don't actually like our neighbor. Verses mentioned in this episode:“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" ~ Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭9‬ ‭“A fool hath no delight in understanding, But that his heart may discover itself.” ‭~ Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭2‬ ‭“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” ~ ‭‭Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭30‬-‭31‬ ‭“But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,” ~ ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭27‬ “But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.” ~ ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭35‬ ‭Join every day on YouTube for reading and praying the Bible. https://www.youtube.com/@EmbodiedbyGrace/videosFollow Embodied by Grace on IG and TikTok: @embodiedbygraceFor collaborations or partnerships: [email protected] support Embodied by Grace: https://buymeacoffee.com/embodiedbygraceA Message from Melissa: “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” (1 Thess.‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬): Study the Scripture for yourself and remember that I am just a person sharing the Gospel.

For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!” ~ Romans‬ ‭7‬:‭21‬-‭25‬ ‭“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” ~ Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭26‬ ‭“He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” ~ Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬A Message from Melissa: “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” (1 Thess.‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬): Study the Scripture for yourself and remember that I am just a person sharing the Gospel. I make mistakes. I don't explain the Word of God in a way that will resonate with everyone. I am not going to get it right all the time, and nor will any teacher, preacher, YouTuber, or pastor. I believe we can learn so much from each other, but no person's teaching can replace getting into the Bible yourself. As Christians let's focus more on the truth that unites us -- that we are saved by grace through faith because of what Christ did for us on the cross -- rather than on the details meant to divide us.
