Still Waiting: When God Doesn’t Give You What You Want w/ Ann Swindell

Are you in a place of waiting? Do you feel like there is seemingly no end in sight? In this episode, author and speaker Ann Swindell joins us to discuss what it looks like to wait and trust in Jesus. Ann shares about her own season of waiting and how it has led her back to the truth of God’s Word time and time again.

A Gospel-Centered Approach to Holiday Gifts

Happy holidays! Giving and receiving gifts around the holidays should bring us joy and build anticipation. And yet, we often become stressed or overwhelmed when it comes to giving and receiving gifts. In this episode, Shelby and Krystal discuss how we can have a gospel perspective even in something like exchanging gifts. When we consider our responses to others in both giving and receiving gifts, we have an opportunity to display the generosity of God and His grace toward others. We hope this episode helps us all to reframe our thinking around how we exchange gifts this Christmas.

Politics and the Gospel: Public Witness in a Politically Crazy World w/ Dr. Patrick Schreiner

What are the two topics you aren’t supposed to discuss at family gatherings? Most of us would immediately guess religion and politics, and some of us may intentionally stay away from these topics in public. But what if we could step into the political sphere in a way that honors God? In this episode, Dr. Patrick Schreiner makes a compelling case for why we should consider engaging in politics as believers. Shelby and Krystal chat with Dr. Schreiner about how the gospel changes the way we view politics and offers practical tips on engaging in politics in a way that honors Christ as King.  The opinions of guests on the Daily Grace podcast do not represent the opinions of The Daily Grace Co., and we do not necessarily endorse the resources that they recommend or mention on the show. We believe it is valuable to hear from a variety of guests, even if we do not agree in all areas. As always, the statements made by hosts and guests on the show should be tested against God’s Word, the only authority on truth.

In this episode, Krystal sits down with pastor’s wife, podcaster, and author, Christine Hoover to discuss the beauty of friendship and how to overcome the barriers we face to build it.
