Broken but Called

We spend so much of our lives trying to control outcomes that were never ours to carry. We try to protect our children from every mistake, manage our spouse’s choices, fix the people we love, and map out every detail of our future. But what if the peace we’ve been searching for isn’t found in having more control, but in finally letting go?

In this episode, Grace shares what Scripture teaches about surrender, why trying to play the role of the Holy Spirit only leaves us exhausted, and how true freedom comes when we faithfully do our part and trust God with His.

If you’ve been carrying the weight of everyone else’s decisions, this episode is your reminder:

You were never called to be in control. You were called to be faithful.

What happens when addiction steals everything—but Jesus steps in and begins restoring it all?

In this From Gossip to Gospel episode of Broken But Called, I sit down with Stacey to hear the story behind the headlines people often assume they know. After walking through an abusive relationship, divorce, grief, addiction, the heartbreaking loss of guardianship of her two children, and fractured relationships, Stacey found herself at rock bottom. But God wasn't finished writing her story.

Today, Stacey is living proof that no one is too far gone for the grace of God. She shares the painful realities of addiction, the road to sobriety, the healing that came through Christ, and the beautiful process of rebuilding a life she once thought was beyond repair.

Whether you are battling addiction yourself, love someone who is, or simply need a reminder that God still restores broken lives, this conversation will leave you with hope.

Because no matter what the gossip says about your past, the Gospel has the final word.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." — 2 Corinthians 5:17

For a while, Coleman lived a double-life. What began as casual drinking slowly became something he couldn't control. Hidden behind excuses and normal appearances, alcoholism eventually led to severe pancreatitis, major abdominal surgery, five weeks in the hospital, and a fight for his life.

In this episode of Broken but Called, Coleman openly shares the story he once tried so hard to hide. We talk about the habits that fueled his addiction, the help he ignored, the fear of nearly dying, mindset shifts, and the incredible grace of God that met him in his darkest season.

Whether you've struggled with addiction, love someone who has, or simply believe "it could never happen to me," this conversation is a powerful reminder that sin keeps us in darkness, but healing begins when we bring our lives into the light.

Today's episode isn't about shame—it's about redemption, freedom, accountability, and the hope that no one is beyond the reach of Jesus.

After months away from the microphone, I'm finally back and this isn't the episode I originally planned to record.

Since our last episode, life has changed in more ways than I can count. We've welcomed our baby girl, walked through the joys and challenges of postpartum, and experienced a frightening incident with my son that shook me to my core. Through it all, I've felt the Holy Spirit gently calling me toward something I've been resisting for months: less distraction and more presence.

In this honest and vulnerable episode, I'm sharing what God has been revealing in my heart, how I've allowed busyness, noise, and constant consumption to cloud my focus, and why I believe He's calling me back to what truly matters. This is a conversation about conviction without condemnation, grace after failure, and learning to listen when God speaks.

If you've felt distracted, overwhelmed, spiritually dry, or like you've been ignoring God's nudges in your own life, this episode is for you.

This isn't a testimony from the other side—it's confession, surrender, and accountability in real time.

Valentine’s Day can stir up a lot — joy, gratitude, longing, or even quiet ache.

But what if the truest love story isn’t the one written in cards and roses… but the one written in red?

In this special Valentine’s episode of Broken but Called, we’re talking about the greatest love letter ever written — the Word of God. Do we read it like a love letter? Do we live like the gospel is truly good news? Do we believe that we are pursued, cherished, and deeply wanted?

And at the end of this episode, I’m sharing something personal. Something I’ve never recorded before. A dedication that means more to me than flowers ever could.

If you feel unseen, behind in life, or like love has passed you by — this episode is for you.

You are not forgotten.

You are not unlovable.

You are already chosen.

In today’s Girl Talk episode, Grace sits down with her friends Kristen, Presley, Madison, and Mackenzi for an honest, grace-filled conversation about what it really looks like to live out a Christian lifestyle in today’s world.

Together, they talk about building a godly community, navigating comparison and social media, and letting go of the pressure to be a “perfect” Christian. This conversation isn’t about having it all together — it’s about who we’re becoming, what we’re aiming for daily, and choosing faithfulness over perfection.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by comparison, unsure how to find life-giving friendships, or exhausted trying to live up to an image instead of walking closely with Jesus, this episode is for you.

“See, I am doing a new thing…” (Isaiah 43:19)
In this episode, we're unpacking what biblical new beginnings look like—through surrender, obedience, and trust in God’s plan and timing. Whether you’re entering a new season, rebuilding after loss, or simply longing for renewal, this episode points you back to the God who restores, redeems, and makes all things new and the God you can trust.

Sometimes we walk through valley seasons—marked by doubt, questions, and the struggle to fully show up each day for God, our families, and ourselves. But suffering is never forever, and God never gives us more than we can carry with Him. These seasons of hardship are not wasted; they refine us, build godly character, and prepare us for what’s next. In this episode, we talk about embracing the struggle, trusting the molding process, and allowing God to shape us into something new as we step into a new season and a new beginning. We hope you stick around!

This episode is simply me sharing what God placed on my heart. As I spent time in His Word, He revealed something I couldn’t keep to myself—and I pray it encourages you too.

Have you ever asked, “Am I missing God’s will for my life?” You’re not alone. Big decisions can feel paralyzing — we wonder if we’re making the “right” choice, if we’re about to ruin our future, or if we’ll somehow step outside of God’s plan.

In this episode, Grace unpacks what Scripture says about God’s will, how He guides us, and how to silence the enemy’s anxiety that keeps us frozen in fear. You’ll learn how to find peace in decision-making, why you can’t miss God’s plan if you’re seeking Him, and how to trust Him to redirect you if you take a wrong step.

If you’re wrestling with a decision, this episode will remind you that God is a good Father who knows every choice you’ll ever make — and He’s not trying to trick you.
