In this episode I get to talk with my friend Jon about music & creativity. I was so looking forward to this conversation with him and it's a great one! He gets into music as a means of expression and an outlet, how it helps people connect with one another, how it helps us process through things, and so much more. Jon is a skilled musician and like I mentioned in the episode, I've loved hearing what he's done musically over the years. Listen to his latest album here https://open.spotify.com/album/3BnXxjdDt9Ek6SnCkaZXuD This is beginning a series of episodes I am doing all surrounding the topic of music. Thanks, Jon, for kicking things off with this conversation! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/abby-king8/support

I sit down and talk with one of my favorite TikTokers, Dusty Crabtree in this episode. Our conversation is all about learning to understand people better, and we use the enneagram as the lens we're looking through here to help talk through that. Me and Dusty are the same enneagram type (type 1s!) Listen in to hear two type 1s talk navigating misunderstanding, differences, similarities, and growing in understanding for others.

Hey friends! This is the last episode in the series I've been doing about growing closer to Jesus and I'm excited about this last episode! It's a shorter one where things are wrapped up and one final point is explored. In this one, we focus on just how involved Jesus is in our day to day lives. He is present and near and working, always. This is a big part of growing closer to him because in this we see the depth of how much he truly cares for us and the level of detail to which he is involved & invested in our lives as well as in the lives of everyone in the world around us.

Hey friends :) this one is all about growing closer to Jesus through life storms. We go all in today about our hardest moments and what God is doing in the midst of them. How Jesus is the safest place for us in the hardest storms and the level to which he cares so deeply for us in them strengthens our relationship with him and grows us closer. The hardest times are just that- incredibly hard. They are sacred spaces; we have big feelings and we go through such real things and God is doing deep work in it all.

Prayer is a great tool for growing closer to Jesus. Sometimes, we can have misconceptions about prayer. How can those effect the way that we view God? I get into that in today's episode and specifically address how we can experience prayer when in the middle of a storm. Sometimes we can feel like God is far away, dormant, not listening, or maybe even that he doesn't care. What is really going on in those times? Something that I have come to see is that God is so much more involved than we sometimes think. He is working and doing immeasurably more right where we are; whether that's in the middle of our darkest moments or at any other time of our lives. He cares so deeply about our hearts- the very core of who we are and is so present with us even when he might feel far.

Today on the show I am continuing to talk about connection, with the focus shifting towards growing closer to and connecting deeper with Jesus. This is the first episode in a series that I'm kicking off about growing closer to Jesus; in other episodes in the series we'll get into different topics that relate to this one. Today I talk about where I think it's most important to start when growing closer to him- and that's knowing who he is. Meaning more specifically, what is his heart like? What is his love like? What is his heart towards me? What does connection with him look like and what does it even mean to connect deeper with him? We are kicking off this series today and diving into these questions and more. I'm so excited to share these episodes with you, friends! If you have questions or something you'd like to share about the topic of growing closer to Jesus, send me a DM! I'd love to hear from you & chat- I might even feature your question in a future episode if you'd want me to address it more in depth on the podcast. Happy listening!

Welcome to a new episode! This one is piggy-backing a bit off of last weeks. In last weeks, I talked about being connected to who we truly are and really seeing ourselves. Today, I'm diving deeper into how we can truly see other people. Why does this make a difference? How can we grow in doing this? That's what this episode is all about. When we truly see & connect with others— that's authentic love right there.

Welcome back, friends. The Grace Upon Grace Podcast is back and here with a new season! In today's episode, I am getting into the topic of mental health. This show is essentially meant to be empowering and encouraging to anyone listening, as I talk about some needs that we all have as humans. We were designed for true connection; to really see ourselves and other people. I get into that and how it relates to our mental health and more in this podcast episode. Towards the end, I address stress & anxiety and share about some practical things that have been helpful for me when it comes to those things. Disclaimer: I am not a therapist or mental health professional. This episode is filled with things that have been helpful for me so I wanted to share about them with you, too. Happy mental health awareness month, friends

This episode is all about believing in ourselves, especially during times when we feel stuck. Things can feel hopeless or insurmountable; like we can't do something or that things cannot get better. This episode is speaking directly to that and is there to help you believe in yourself and see that there is so much more to the story when we feel stuck. Scripture talks about the "immeasurably more" that God does; I dive into that and what I've noticed about the more in my own life & how that relates to the times when we feel stuck. We talk about things like the beauty and strength that can come from a seemingly hopeless situation, how God is working right where we are and is in the middle of real life with us, what some practical things are that we can do when we feel stuck, etc. I also answer two important questions: why believe in ourselves & why believe that there is more? Aw man, we go in today friends! This is a special one, the topic is near and dear to my heart.

We all have valuable stories to tell. I am so excited that I got to sit down and talk with Becca Wierwille, an Instagram friend of mine and writer! It was so nice to connect with her and talk about stories; how stories are all around us and how important it is to see the world this way. We talk about how we ourselves have significant stories to tell and the same is true of every human being. We all have so much value & depth; our stories matter. Becca shares about why she thinks our stories have power, how to see the world around us as full of stories, the value of truly listening to & understanding the stories of others, she encourages anyone who may not feel like they have a story or that their stories matter, and so much more!

A few weeks ago I posted on my Instagram story about celebrating single people who are killing it on their own, celebrating the love for yourself that has grown deeper, and truly just celebrating genuine & authentic love in all of its forms. There were so many responses to that story, people seemed to resonate with those words. So I decided to make a podcast episode based around those points that I made in that story. We are diving deeper into all of those things today, friends. Happy listening! Want to book a mentoring/coaching session with me?

There is room for seriousness and there is room for fun in our lives. In this episode, we are getting into the importance of light & fun. I have come to find that lightheartedness & fun can be a real source of comfort, especially when things are hard. Sometimes authentically caring for our souls looks like allowing ourselves some space from the heavy and being reminded of the fun. I really think that what it comes down to is- we need both; seriousness & fun. A beautiful intermingling of the two. Give this episode a listen to hear more ♥️ Check out the podcast's Patreon page  Become a patron of the podcast and help it grow here!   --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/abby-king8/support

I really wanted to have him on the podcast to hear his perspective and opinions on things. He is passionate about seeing the church take its place of leading in the movement of racial reconciliation. Something that stands out to me that he said during this interview was, "The church can no longer be silent unless the church collectively denies the demands of Jesus." He did not come to play in this one! Join us as we talk about moving forward in racial reconciliation and loving our neighbor well. Also, Bubba has a podcast!

Welcome to Season 3! On this episode of the podcast, me and Amy King are talking about listening, learning, and understanding when it comes to racial discrimination and reconciliation. We invite you into this conversation with us, all are welcome. We acknowledge that we will make mistakes along the way as we actively speak out against racism. We are learning and in that process things won't always come out exactly right. We ask for your grace. We know that we have no option but to speak out, it is ignited on our hearts to do so. Jesus went straight to the hurting, oppressed, and marginalized. He did not pause or ask questions first. He went. A quote that Amy shared from her most recent blog post sums up quite well what we talk about in this episode; "Where there are people suffering, God is there.

My mom is on the show today! She is talking to us about her experience of being a homeschool parent. Right now, so many parents are navigating schooling at home. Me and my mom sit down and talk about her time of being a homeschool mom, why she decided to homeschool, what helped her do it along the way, what God has taught her through it, and encouragement she has for others who are in the thick of it right now. I also share some of my experiences and stories, including a funny one of how I learned about what lane not to drive through at an elementary school. It was great having my mom on the show this week. She can speak to being a parent and schooling at home because she has experienced it and did it for many years. We are here for the parents who are educating their kids at home and hope that this episode serves as a reminder that you are not alone, and you can do this!

I wrote the words "Always More" on my graduation cap. Here's why- God does immeasurably more than we could ever ask for or imagine.

I am sharing all about my thoughts and feelings on school and graduating, what God has done and taught me over these years, how my graduation day was way more than I expected, and how you are SO able to chase your dreams.
