Grit 'n' Grace: The Podcast for Highly Sensitive Christian Women

What do you feel when somebody says, "It's not about you?" Cheri and Amy felt defensive, but author Sharon Hodde Miller, author of Free of Me, show us that this truth is freedom. We can have more life as we focus less on ourselves, free from seeing everything as caused or reflecting on us.

In this interview, Sharon helps us to remove the mirror of self so that we can really see the truth and beauty around us.

As women we're often reluctant to name our gifts and stand in the strength we have. But what if we shifted our thoughts to a place of confidence in the woman God created? Then we can say, "God gave me this gift to serve" or "God's strength allowed me to accomplish something great!"

Cheri and Amy discuss practical tools that have helped them increase their confidence and steps to take when our confidence falters. All of it leads to a "so that" that can change our world!

Are you craving confidence to climb the mountains in your life? What if you could MOVE the mountain?Lynn Cowell, author of Make Your Move, shares that God wants to give us confidence to inspire change in our world. Instead of feeling like we're always falling short, God can empower us to be a difference maker!

Learn from Lynn about some fun about some amazing women from the Bible that you may have never heard of and find the confidence they reveal at the same time!

Do you have a situation in your life that has you feeling stuck? We've all been there! Cheri and Amy discuss the difficulties of being fixated on a problem and practical ways to shift our focus so that we can move forward.

Changing our gaze may be simple but it's sure not easy, so join in on this girlfriends' guide to becoming solution-minded.

We're all on a search for examples we can follow, and Debbie Wilson, author of Little Women Big God, points us to women in scripture who have lived through hard times just like our own. Cheri and Amy dig deep with Debbie into the flawed but fabulous women of Jesus' lineage. Like us, these trail-blazers floundered at times, but we get to learn from their lessons.

Join us for this enlightening discussion of how God works powerfully in the lives of imperfect women, giving us a little more light for our own path!

It seems counterintuitive, but sometimes we have to go backward to go forward. Cheri and Amy talk about how God is reteaching them the basics in order to do a deeper work.

The good news for perfectionists and people-pleasers is that we can let go of our try-harder attitude so that God can do His perfecting work in us through the Power of Simple. Take a deep breath... and dive into grace!

Where are you in your walk with Jesus? Just getting to know Him? Needing to fall in love with Him all over again? Donna Jones, author of Seek, uses God's Word and stories to explain God's big truths simple ways that makes our little hearts swell. Every word Donna shares oozes His love!

Whether you're a brand new Christian or a woman who has journeyed with God for years, this interview will make you fall head over heels for Jesus all over again.

Disappointment is... well, so disappointing. Amy and Cheri talk about how to re-frame our expectations to deal with our disappointment while still allowing ourselves to grieve in the hard places. It's also possible to walk with others in love through their disappointments.

When we apply our grit and God's grace in disappointments, there's hope even there!

Diane Kim, author of Unbroken Faith, was blind-sided by her son's diagnosis of autism. In her conversation with Cheri and Amy, she addresses the struggle to build faith when disappointment tries to rob us of it.

Diane's honest, practical style will leave every listener with the tools she needs to deal with life's next let down. (And she shares the five questions to avoid with our suffering friends. So valuable!)

In this hilarious but convicting conversation, Cheri and Amy confess the automobile mishaps they've created with cell phones in their hands, and they grade themselves (brutally) on their device usage. There are lots of gasps and giggles in this one, but some great solutions emerge to help curb our use of screens.
