That's Grace Podcast

It’s not always easy to tell what God wants you to do, especially when you feel a nudge or idea but can’t tell if it’s from God or just from yourself. Most of us want clarity about our purpose, but we aren’t always sure how God actually guides regular, everyday people. In this message, we look at what the Bible shows about how God leads us—how to discern the difference between our own desires and His prompting, how the people around us help bring clarity, and how our experiences and opportunities might be pointing toward the next step He has for our lives.

Most of us have parts of our lives we hope no one ever sees—moments from our past or habits in our present that quietly make us wonder where we really stand with God. Those doubts and regrets can convince us we’re too far gone or too imperfect for God to do anything meaningful with our lives. This message reveals how God moves toward people who feel unqualified or unsure, exposing the lies we believe about ourselves and meeting us right where we feel stuck. You’ll see how He begins changing the parts of our story we’ve almost given up on and why you’re not disqualified from what God wants to do in you.

Following Jesus sounds simple—until it starts to feel inconvenient, uncomfortable, or costly. Many of us want a faith that matters, but also want life to feel predictable and safe. This message explores why real spiritual growth often happens outside our comfort zones and how the uncomfortable steps God invites us to take can become the very places He strengthens our faith and deepens our trust. If you’ve ever felt torn between doing what’s right and doing what’s easy, this message will give you clarity, courage, and hope for your next step.

Most of us want to see God do something real in our lives, but we don’t always feel ready or confident enough to take that next step. The first followers of Jesus felt the same way—waiting, unsure, and not expecting much to happen. But when God prompted them to act, everything changed. In this message, we look at how God began something new in the earliest believers and how He still gives clarity, courage, and direction to ordinary people who feel unprepared or uncertain about what comes next.

It’s easy to chase comfort, control, and what feels urgent—but those things rarely last. The more we hold on, the smaller our impact becomes. In this message, Pastor Sean Sears shows how God invites us to live with open hands—trusting Him with what we have so He can multiply it into something that lasts. You’ll learn how generosity grows your faith, shifts your perspective, and helps you invest in what truly matters.

It’s easy to want a stronger faith—but much harder when obedience feels uncomfortable. For many of us, that tension between comfort and surrender is where we get stuck. In this message, we talk about how God uses obedience—especially through our finances and generosity—to strengthen our trust in Him. You’ll learn that tithing isn’t about what God wants from you, but what He wants for you—and that faith always grows on the other side of surrender.

You want to trust God, but when it comes to money, there’s always that question in the back of your mind: Will I have enough? In this message, Pastor Sean Sears shows how to grow your faith one step at a time by trusting God with what you already have—and discovering He’s always been enough for you.

Relationships can be some of the greatest blessings in life—but they can also bring some of the heaviest burdens. When we avoid honesty, take on what isn’t ours, or blur the lines of responsibility, things quickly become messy, one-sided, and exhausting. In this message, Pastor Sean Sears unpacks how boundaries aren’t barriers that push people away, but guardrails that make love stronger and relationships healthier.

Most of us have a hard time saying no. We want to help, keep others happy, or avoid disappointing people—but the result is often exhaustion, resentment, and feeling stretched too thin. So how do you know when it’s right to say yes and when it’s time to say no? In this message, Pastor Sean Sears shows how even Jesus said no at times—and how learning to do the same can bring peace and protect your best yes. Because every yes is also a no to something else.

Life can feel exhausting—like you’re stretched too thin and carrying more than you can handle. What if the reason it feels so heavy isn’t just busyness, but that you’re carrying things God never asked you to carry? In this message, you’ll learn how God’s design for boundaries brings peace and freedom. Discover how to take ownership of what’s truly yours, release the weight of what isn’t, and guard your heart so you can live with clarity and margin
