Giving Grace With Alexandra Hansen

Together they explore how healing, forgiveness, and hope can grow even in silence.

In this heartfelt episode, Alexandra and Janie talk with Paige Kuhbacher about the stark difference between her two birth experiences. Her first birth was marked by frist time mom, not knowing what she didn’t know and a lack of intentional preparation.  But her second birth was something entirely different. Surrounded by the steady love of her husband, covered in prayer, and anchored in peace, Paige walked through labor with a surrendered heart and a clear mind. She shares the practical and spiritual shifts that changed everything, offering a powerful reminder that birth can be both sacred and empowering when approached with faith and intentionality.

Have you ever felt closest to God while hiking, being outdoors, or working out? In this episode, Alexandra and Janie explore how nature and movement can become sacred spaces to encounter the Lord. Through Scripture and personal reflection, you’ll be inspired to see the trail, the gym, or even a quiet walk as invitations to draw near to the Creator.

We’ve all heard the phrase “kill them with kindness”—but is that really what God calls us to do? In this episode of Giving Grace, we unpack why this mindset isn’t biblical, what Billy Graham had to say about it, and how Scripture calls us to live differently. God doesn’t ask us to use kindness as a weapon, but to embody it as a fruit of the Spirit—flowing from genuine love, not hidden resentment or subtle revenge. Join me as we uncover the difference between cultural clichés and Christlike compassion.

In this episode, Alexandra and Janie call out the lie that biblical womanhood is oppression. True oppression is chasing the world’s applause and still coming up empty. True freedom is found in obedience to God. From Proverbs 31 to Titus 2, the Bible shows us that homemaking isn’t small—it’s warfare. It’s raising warriors, cultivating peace, and building a Kingdom legacy in a world that’s falling apart.

In this episode, Alexandra and Janie pull apart this parable and challenge you to stop letting fear, excuses, or comfort keep you from stepping up. God didn’t create you to bury your gift in the dirt. He created you to multiply it, to risk, to invest, and to live with bold faith.

If you’ve been holding back—this is your line in the sand.
