Episode Title: He Left the 99… For Me

Theme: Grace Over Striving | Luke 15:4–5
Length: ~10 minutes
Host: Lisa from Salt & Light Box

 Episode Summary:

In this episode, I share a deeply personal story from the lavender field—about striving, silence, and a gentle reminder from Jesus in the attic of my house. Despite knowing I’m saved by grace, I sometimes find myself slipping into performance mode, believing I have to do more to stay in God’s love.

But while counting bundles of lavender, I stopped at 99… and in that moment, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper,

“I left the 99 to come find you. I did this for you. You are redeemed. You are Mine.”

This episode is a gentle encouragement for the one who feels like they’re stuck in the weeds of legalism, performance, or doubt. You are already loved. You are already found.

Scripture Highlights:
  • Luke 15:4–5

    “What man among you, who has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open field and go after the lost one until he finds it? When he has found it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders…”

  • Ephesians 2:8–9

    “For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift—not from works, so that no one can boast.”

    This Episode Is For You If:
    • You’ve ever struggled with legalism or felt like you had to earn God’s love.

    • You feel stuck in the weeds of striving, doubt, or spiritual silence.

    • You need a reminder that Jesus still pursues you.

    • You love connecting with God through quiet, nature, and reflection.

       Self-Care Reflection:

      This week, take 10 quiet minutes with Jesus.

      Ask Him:

      “Lord, what lies am I still believing? What do You want me to know?”
