The Table of Grace Podcast - Where Grace Meets Grit 💐

Have you ever felt like you were doing everything “right”…praying, showing up, trying to be a good person…but still felt distant from God?Like somehow, even with all the effort, something just felt… off?If that resonates with you, you’re not alone.On this weeks episode we’re talking about the shift in our faith from rules to relationship.

On this week’s episode we’re talking about something that touches every single one of us identity. Who you are. How you see yourself. And most importantly… who God says you are. Because if we’re honest, it’s easy to lose ourselves trying to be everything the world tells us to be while neglecting who God has already predestined us to be. If you’ve been questioning who you are…If you’ve been comparing, striving, or feeling not enough…know this to be true, Your identity is not something you create….it’s something you receive in Christ.You don’t have to chase worth.You don’t have to compete for value.You don’t have to imitate someone else’s life.You just have to walk in who God already says you are.

There are parts of following Jesus we celebrate and then there are the crosses we quietly hope we never have to pick up. The uncomfortable obedience. The silent seasons. The forgiveness that feels unfair. The surrender that costs more than we expected.In this episode, we’re talking about the cross we don’t want to carry abs the weight of saying “yes” to God when it stretches us, breaks our pride, and calls us higher. Jesus never hid the cost of discipleship, but He also never left us without strength to endure it.If you’ve ever wrestled with obedience, questioned the process, or felt the tension between your will and God’s this conversation is for you. Because sometimes the very cross we resist is the one that leads us closest to Him.

I prayed… but it feels like God didn’t answer.”You prayed about the job.You prayed about the relationship.You prayed for healing.You prayed for clarity.And instead of a breakthrough… there was silence.Or at least that’s what it felt like.So today we’re going to talk about:What it means when God seems silentWhy unanswered prayer can shake our faithAnd how we continue trusting God when heaven feels quiet.Because the truth is: God’s silence is not the same as God’s absence.

In this episode, we explore the quiet, complicated grief that comes with the loss loved ones, the unexpected, the plans that fell through, the dreams that unraveled, the version of the future you held so tightly. This kind of loss doesn’t always come with condolences, but it aches just the same.We talk about what it means to hold faith in one hand and disappointment in the other. How do you trust God when the story changes? Where is hope when the outcome looks nothing like what you imagined?If you’re grieving something unseen, unnamed, or misunderstood, this conversation is for you. You are not weak for feeling the weight of it. You are not faithless for asking hard questions. And you are not alone in the in-between.This episode offers space, not quick answers but gentle reminders that even in unexpected loss, God is near, grief is sacred, and hope can still grow in unfamiliar soil.

Have you ever felt like you had to earn God’s love? Or maybe you’ve leaned on grace but quietly wondered if you’re taking advantage of it?In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about what grace truly is and what it isn’t. Grace is God’s unearned favor, freely given through Jesus. It meets us in our weakness, covers our sin, and invites us into transformation.But grace isn’t shame.It isn’t performance.And it isn’t permission to stay stuck.If you’re learning to rest in God’s love while still growing in obedience, this episode will encourage your heart and strengthen your walk.

Doubt doesn’t mean you’re unfit in your faith, it might mean you’re finally engaging it. In this episode, we unpack why questioning God doesn’t disqualify you from being used by Him. From biblical examples to real-life wrestles, we explore how doubt can become the doorway to deeper trust, stronger faith, and authentic obedience. If you’ve ever wondered, “Can God still use me when I’m unsure?”…this conversation is for you.

Before this platform, before the purpose made sense, and far before faith collided with obedience...there was a call. In this episode, we're sitting at the table to talk about how we got here, and how dependence on God shapes everything we're building. This is a conversation about grace, grit, and trusting God step by step.
