That's Grace Podcast

Everyone lives from an identity. The way you see yourself shapes what you pursue, how you make decisions, and ultimately who you become. But what if the biggest thing keeping you stuck isn't your circumstances or your habits? What if it's a lie you've believed about yourself? In this message from 1 Thessalonians 3:9–4:12, we explore how God transforms us from the inside out. Instead of simply modifying behavior, He reshapes our hearts, changes our desires, and reminds us that we belong to Him. As our identity changes, our lives begin to reflect His work in us.

What does it actually look like when God is changing someone? In this series through 1 Thessalonians, we look at Paul's life to discover the kind of love God produces in those He is transforming. A love that willingly bears the cost for others. A love that speaks truth with grace. A love that refuses to let people go.

It’s easy for faith to become something we believe, but God wants to build a faith in us that actually changes who we become. The first followers of Jesus in Thessalonica became an example of what happens when ordinary people respond to the work God is doing in them. Discover the kind of faith God wants to produce in you—a faith that changes how you live, how you love others, and how you keep going when life gets difficult.

There are parts of us we’d rather not look at too closely. Sin we excuse. Wrong motivations we defend. Patterns we explain away because confronting them would mean admitting something needs to change. In this week’s message, Robb Hollifield challenges us to pray the dangerous prayer, “Search me,” and invite God to reveal what’s really happening beneath the surface. Not to bring guilt and shame, but to lead us toward freedom, healing, and transformation.

What if God's plan for your life is actually better than yours? We want God's help, guidance, and blessing, but when His plan starts pulling us in a different direction than the one we've chosen, that's where the struggle begins. We want God to help us with our plans more than we want His plans for us. In this message, Riccardo Simon explores one of the most challenging prayers in the Bible: "Not my will, but Yours." Discover why surrender isn't losing control, but learning to trust the One who sees what you can't. So... I dare you.

What are you asking God for right now? A better job, more security, a bigger opportunity, or a little more breathing room? Most of us have something we're looking toward that feels like it'll make life better. But what if getting exactly what you want isn't actually what's best for you? In this message, Taylor Knopp explores the prayer, "Give me just enough," and challenges the assumption that more is always better. It's a powerful invitation to trust God with what you need and discover what you're really trusting in.

There’s a difference between asking God to help your life… and asking Him to change you. We’re okay with growth when it feels manageable or lines up with what we already want. But the moment growth starts requiring surrender, releasing control, or letting go of things we’ve grown comfortable holding onto… we hesitate. Because the prayers that change you most are usually the ones you’re afraid God will answer. In this message, Ken Knott explores what it means to pray, “God, change me,” and trust God through the process of becoming who He created you to be.

Life can start to feel like one long cycle of routines and responsibilities. It's easy to think following Jesus happens in big moments while everyday life is just something to get through. But what if faith actually grows in the ordinary moments we tend to overlook? In this message, you'll discover what following Jesus looks like in real life and why your everyday life may matter more than you think.

You want to trust God… until His plans start disrupting yours. Faith is easy when it fits neatly into the life you already planned. But following Jesus often means trusting Him before you have all the answers. This message explores what it looks like to trust God when life takes an unexpected turn and why growth often happens in the interruptions we never would’ve chosen ourselves. If your faith has felt stuck, comfortable, or disconnected from your everyday life, this message will challenge you to trust God with your next step.

I want my faith to be more than just something I believe. I want to know what God actually wants to do with my life. But then that voice kicks in… you don’t have time, you don’t know enough, you’re not ready for that. So you wait. In this message, we talk about what it actually looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life. Not when things change, but right now. Because God isn’t waiting for a different version of your life. He’s inviting you to use what you already have—and it might matter more than you think.
