Defined by His Grace: Rachel Temple’s Story :: [Episode 345] Today’s podcast places us in the middle of our three-week series “Religion to Relationship”, and it’s a story many of us can fall victim to - “if I’m just good enough for God, I’ll earn His favor and His blessing over my life.” Rachel Temple, from our Pinehurst, North Carolina community, shares her story of growing up under the pressures of having a mother who was an alcoholic and a father who was an enabler, and subsequently succumbing to the role of caretaker in her family while believing the lie that if she could do all the right things for God life would be easier. This theological misunderstanding led Rachel down a path of comparison, depression, insecurity, and despair until the Lord met her and asked, “Will you be defined by your victimhood or by My grace?” - a question that, as you’ll hear, changed the trajectory of Rachel’s life. _______________________________________________________________________________ VERSE OF THE WEEK: “Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word. You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.” Psalm 119:66-68 CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Where are you comparing the goodness of God in your life to the goodness of God in the lives of others? This week shift your thoughts to gratitude and the gift of God’s unmerited grace. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Links: Listen to this song by Listen to a similar story: Download a phone background of the weekly verse !

From Works-Based Religion to Grace-Filled Relationship: Rebecca Walker’s Story :: [Episode 338] Walking with the Lord is a life-long journey filled with spiritual highs and lows and refinement in between. And, in the midst of it all, we often think, “If I just work harder for the Lord and do all the right things, life will be easy.” As today’s storyteller encourages us, that’s just not how God works - and thank goodness He doesn’t! Rebecca Walker, from our community group in Charleston, South Carolina, shares her story of spiritual transformation and how the Lord gently showed her what a true relationship with Him looks like. Through years of walking with God and gaining rich wisdom along the way, this story brings so many nuggets of truth as Rebecca sweetly reminds us of the importance of focusing on God's faithfulness and grace and letting go of self-sufficiency. _________________________________________________________ VERSE OF THE WEEK: 1 Peter 3:15 “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give a reason for the hope that you have, but do this with gentleness and respect. “ CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Pray for an opportunity to share your story of the hope and freedom you have found in Jesus.
