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

Denise Hughes, author of the Word Writers series of inductive Bible studies, delves into how to study God's Word with reflection and joy. She tells about her own practices and how they've led her into a closer relationship with God as well as explaining how we can lead others to love scripture more.

Cheri and Amy talk about practical tools for building a supportive network of friends: spending intentional time, taking trips, and treasuring differences as well as commonalities.

They also discuss the difference between being friendly and being friends. If you've been longing for the joy of female friendships, this one's for you!

Mary Snyder, author of Authentic Girlfriends: Real Women Finding Real Faith, shares with us about how to develop a wide range of friends that enrich our lives. Rather than pouring all our neediness on one person, Mary gives down-to-earth advice and practical tips for healthy, happy friendships between women. You're going to love her wisdom on this fraught topic!

Our husbands often get our left-overs. Our friends, our parents, our children and our co-workers get our premium efforts while our husbands have to survive on the compassion, love, and listening that remain after we're drained.

Cheri and Amy process how to bring our best to our marriages, prioritizing our husband and valuing him as our friend.

From her book No More Perfect Marriages, Jill Savage shares painful lessons learned as her marriage healed from infidelity.

She gives practical advice on avoiding the "slow fades" of marriage and letting God use our spouse's differences to stretch and mature us. Jill's solutions are grace-filled and wisdom-soaked.

Kathi Lipp shares how she puts the strategies from Overwhelmed into practice in her everyday life. She gives us a road map for steady but imperfect progress in overcoming overwhelmed in our messy lives.

As Cheri and Amy process their interview with Cindy Bultema, they come to some lightning bolt "aha" moments. The realization that the Gospel must be a winsome combination of tenderness and truth leads to some practical steps toward sharing Jesus with the people around us... and developing accountability in our own lives.

Through the study of the Corinthian church, Cindy Bultema, author of Live Full Walk Free, reveals a timely word for the church.

We can share the light of Jesus with our dark world with both love and truth. They aren't mutually exclusive, and both are essential.

Join Cheri and Amy for many "a-ha moments" with Cindy.

What if we just stopped competing and comparing? Would the world stop or would it actually be better?

Cheri & Amy discuss Emily Freeman's challenge to be smaller and process the beautiful possibility of deeper friendships that could result.

In Part 2 of the interview with Emily Freeman, Emily calls each of us into our full glory, and she challenges us to use the power of our authenticity to draw our friends out too.

Emily ended with thoughts that made both Cheri & Amy cry. You won't want to miss it!
