In a world full of belief systems, denominations, and spiritual labels, how can we lovingly and boldly say that Jesus is the only way? Today I’m sharing my heart about what it means to be a Bible-believing, born-again follower of Christ—not just a “Christian” by name, but someone transformed by grace, guided by truth, and filled with the Holy Spirit. If you've ever felt confused by modern Christianity or longed to understand the real difference Jesus makes, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I read and reflect on a blog post I wrote back in 2014—a raw and honest look at the season when I had lost all confidence and couldn’t even bring myself to decorate for Christmas. It’s a story of anxiety, panic, and God’s quiet strength showing up in the smallest moments. I also share the difference between being saved and being surrendered, and how true confidence only comes when we stop relying on ourselves and start trusting in Him.

Whether you're walking through a tough season or just need a gentle reminder that God sees you—this one's for you.

At the end of last year, I recorded a heartfelt video for my kids—sharing my testimony and reminding them not to miss out on the abundant life Jesus promises. In today’s episode, I want to share that same encouragement with you. We’re looking at John 10:10 and what it really means to live an abundant life—not a life of riches or ease, but one of purpose, peace, and grace. I’ll also share the words I often tell my grandchildren: “God has big plans for you. Don’t miss out on them for the world.” The world’s promises are temporary, but the life Jesus offers? That’s where true abundance lives. 🤍

In this deeply personal episode of The Redeemed Mess, Kathy opens her heart about a topic that hit close to home—humility. After listening to a BSF study through the WordGo app, Philippians 2:3 stopped her in her tracks and stirred something inside:

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”

With honest reflection, Kathy shares how pride can quietly creep in—disguised as control, defensiveness, or the need to be right—and how it can silently damage the relationships we treasure most.

From family to church to everyday conversations, humility is the key to healing.
This isn’t just a message for others—it’s one Kathy is learning to live out daily.

Whether you're in a season of conflict, wrestling with pride, or just needing a reminder to let God lift you up—this one’s for you. 💛

In this heartfelt episode of The Redeemed Mess, Kathy reflects on the true meaning of salvation. So many of us wrestle with the idea that we need to earn our way into heaven, but salvation was never meant to be earned—it was given. Through stories, Scripture, and a tender illustration she shares with her grandchildren, Kathy reminds us that Jesus paid the ultimate price on the cross, once and for all. If you've ever questioned whether you’re “good enough,” this episode will reassure you of God's mercy, justice, and unshakable grace.

🤍 Once saved, truly saved. He is our Helper. And His gift is free.
