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

Mary DeMuth, author of Worth Living: How God's Wild Love for You Makes You Worthy, talks about re-writing your story to live beyond perfection.

Instead of shooting for the perfect performance, she encourages us to live in the freedom of being loved and the joy of our current success. Mary also shares the secret to security. Don't miss this one!

For perfectionists and people-pleasers, reaching out to "those other people" can feel awkward and even wrong. How do we get past our self-made obstacles to reach out to our neighbors with true love?

Cheri and Amy share the lessons they're learning as they let go of perfectionism and follow the ways of Jesus as He loved others.

Amy Lively, author of How to Love Your Neighbor Without Being Weird, shares winsome ways to reach out to those next door and in our natural paths.

She helps us live the important command to "Love your neighbor as yourself" through intentional but natural means. It doesn't have to be scary, either. Amy Lively makes it fun!

Motherhood is truly a tangle of emotions, motives, and outcomes. How do we live above the muddle and clear the obstacles of pride, protection, and judgment?

Cheri & Amy vulnerably share some of their mothering failures and the ways they're learning to become free to give grace to themselves and other moms.

In their conversation with Lynn Cowell, author of Magnetic: Becoming the Girl He Wants, Cheri & Amy discover the beauty of living beyond the social networking highlight reels and the pressure of parenting perfectly. Instead, Lynn shares about how to engage our children's hearts with our own struggles and build up our friends with understanding.

Cheri & Amy celebrate the one year anniversary of Grit 'n' Grace by reflecting on all they've learned. There's a bad rule that's been overcome (of course!) and a new perspective that's been embraced with gusto. Listen in to hear their favorite moments, the grit it's taken do a new thing, and the moments of grace that have permeated the year.

Join us for a walk down memory lane! This pre-birthday episode features highlights from our interviews with Kathi Lipp, Jennifer Dukes Lee, Suzie Eller, Michele Cushatt, Sheila Wray Gregoire, Lucille Zimmerman, Glynnis Whitwer, Wendy Pope, Shaunti Feldhahn, Emily Freeman, Cindy Bultema, Jill Savage, Mary Snyder, Denise Hughes, and Holley Gerth. We hope you'll enjoy this hope-filled year in review.

In Cheri & Amy's interview with Holley Gerth, she challenged us to be vulnerable and "go first" in friendship. There's both grit and grace involved in those kinds of friendships and mentoring relationships.

As we embrace the grit of putting ourselves out there and the grace of not thinking it all depends on us, supportive friendships form.

Holley Gerth, author of You're Already Amazing, discusses how we can become wiser mentors, more generous friends, and influencers with greater impact just by embracing the beauty of how we're made.

To get us started, Holley gives a quick and practical 4-step approach to put your amazing-ness to work in the world. She also shares how realizing she's an HSP has added richness to her life.

How do we build the deeper relationship with God for which our souls long? Lingering and soaking in His Word. Cheri & Amy shrug off formulas and share a wide variety of practices that lead us closer to God and develop a passion for scripture in our hearts.
