Podcasts about everyday grace

What if everything you’ve been told about aging is a lie? What if your 50s and 60s aren’t about fading into irrelevance, but about finally becoming who you were always meant to be? In this transformative episode, bestselling author and spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson dismantles the cultural narrative that treats midlife as a slow decline. Instead, she reveals it as the most powerful awakening of your life—a time when the wisdom you’ve accumulated can no longer stay silent, when you stop caring what others think, and when you finally have the courage to say what needs to be said. This is a conversation for anyone who’s been conditioned to fear aging, who’s carrying shadow figures from their past into their present, or who’s ready to claim the grandeur that only comes with lived experience. The Accidental Calling Marianne Williamson didn’t set out to become one of the most influential spiritual teachers of our time. In her 20s, she discovered A Course in Miracles and was captivated by its psychological mind training on forgiveness—dismantling a thought system based on fear and accepting one based on love instead. “At first it was just what it was doing for me,” she explains. “The career niche that I inhabit today didn’t even exist at that point.” She started with a small study group in a bookstore. Then she moved to Los Angeles, and the AIDS crisis burst onto the scene. Gay men flocked to her lectures because “in the middle of this horror, there was this then young woman talking about a God who loves you no matter what and about miracles.” One thing led to another. She published a book. Oprah Winfrey loved it. A Return to Love became a mega-bestseller, and a quote from it—”Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”—became an anthem for seekers worldwide. But Marianne’s journey wasn’t always smooth. She ventured into politics, running for the Democratic nomination for President in both 2020 and 2024, and encountered a level of public scrutiny and mean-spiritedness she’d never faced in the spiritual world. “We all made mistakes in our 20s, but they weren’t written into the ethers of the internet to be with us forever,” she reflects, lamenting how young people today are denied the freedom to grow without permanent records of their missteps. The Shadow Figures We Carry One of the most powerful teachings Marianne shares is about forgiveness—not as a platitude, but as a practice of liberation. “A Course in Miracles says that if you bring the shadow figures of your past into the present, then you are programming the future to be just like the past,” she explains. Many of us replay painful memories, trying to forgive by reliving them. But this approach backfires. “Every time I brought it in and thought about it, it was almost like visceral, like it was reenacting what took place,” Catherine shares. Marianne’s response? Accept that it happened. Know that the love was real, the love you gave and received was eternal, and “the rest was literally a kind of shared illusion or nightmare, a kind of hallucination of consciousness, and you don’t have to carry it with you.” The ego, however, wants to keep bludgeoning you with it. What they did, what you did, what you didn’t do. But healing doesn’t come from endlessly analyzing where the wounds came from. “Knowing where you got this has done me no good,” Marianne admits. “Knowing you are this way, Marianne, and be willing not to be, and ask God’s help. That’s the miracle.” The Moment-by-Moment Practice Spiritual practice isn’t theoretical. It’s what you do when you wake up at 3 a.m. with your thoughts spiralling. It’s choosing whether to grab your phone and scroll through chaos or to ground yourself in meditation and prayer. “If you wake up in the morning and you go directly to the news, you go directly to social media, it’s like you’re saying to the chaos, come on, eat me alive, I’m open and available for that,” Marianne warns. But if you ground yourself in spiritual practice first, “it makes all the difference because it’s kind of like the yoga of consciousness. You get yourself in the correct position of alignment with the ever-unfolding thoughts of love.” The Course in Miracles teaches that there is no such thing as a neutral thought. Every thought either takes you toward greater oneness and peace or into anxiety, depression, and separation. “Every single moment is a moment of choice,” Marianne emphasises. “We either make that choice consciously or we make it unconsciously to either open the heart or to constrict.” When you constrict, you deflect the miracle. But here’s the beautiful part: “It’ll come back around again. It’ll be held in trust for you until you’re ready to receive it.” The Awakening to Power Midlife grief is real. You have to move through the loss of what you no longer have to receive what is only yours now. “I have found myself saying to younger women, you have things I don’t have anymore, but I have some things you don’t have yet,” Marianne shares. “And that’s what we’re awakening to.” At 50, she stopped caring what other people thought. But at 60? “I felt this level of power that is almost like not only do you not care what other people say, you have to. It’s like when a woman is breastfeeding, the milk has to express itself. The wisdom you have in you can’t not say it.” This isn’t about arrogance. It’s about recognising that we live in a culture where the undertow constantly whispers: you’re over the hill, you’re invisible, you’re all used up. “So we have to counter that undertow,” Marianne insists, “because it’s a new dawn for us. And the new dawn for us, we know can be of help in bringing a new dawn to the world.” When Catherine mentions people asking about retirement, Marianne’s response is instant: “I’m just getting started, honey.” The Evolutionary Moment Marianne sees humanity at a critical crossroads. “We’re living at this moment of parallel phenomenon, one world crumbling, another world struggling to be born. And we are called on to be death doulas and birth doulas.” This is not a time for the wounded bird, the ditzy female, or woundology. “It’s a time to really call ourselves and each other into the highest place.” The human race has reached a point where our collective behavioural patterns are no longer sustainable. We either take an evolutionary leap forward or face extinction. That leap begins with individual transformation. “Wake up every morning and ask, where would you have me go? What would you have me do? What would you have me say and to whom?” Marianne teaches. “Love, use me. Use my hands, use my feet.” You might be assigned to talk about personal transformation through a podcast. You might work on the environment, peace, food systems, or healing. But whatever your assignment, “everything else is ultimately meaningless.” Three Golden Nuggets for Your Journey Golden Nugget #1: Ask Who You’re Not Forgiving Identify who you haven’t forgiven and be willing to realise that the love they gave you was real, the love you gave them was real, and everything else was just a shared illusion. Put it in the hands of God and refuse to bring those shadow figures into your present. Golden Nugget #2: Be a Spiritual Athlete This is not a moment to indulge in moderate drinking, moderate drug use, or junk food. This is a moment to truly be in shape—physically, mentally, and spiritually. Your spiritual discipline and practice matter now more than ever. Golden Nugget #3: Reach Out to Someone Who Needs Help Think of someone in your life who could use support. Reach out. That simple act of extending love creates the field in which miracles occur naturally. About Marianne Williamson For more than four decades, Marianne Williamson has been a leader of spiritually progressive circles. She is the author of 16 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times bestsellers. A quote from the mega-bestseller A Return to Love, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers. Her other bestsellers include A Woman’s Worth, The Law of Divine Compensation, Tears to Triumph, The Gift of Change, Everyday Grace, and The Mystic Jesus: The Mind of Love. With her books and online classes, she has taught millions of people universal spiritual themes at the heart of all the great religions of the world. Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a non-profit organisation that has delivered more than 19 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients in the Los Angeles area since 1989. She has also worked throughout her career on poverty, anti-hunger, and racial reconciliation issues. In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supported the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace. She ran for the Democratic nomination for President in both 2020 and 2024. Key Takeaway Midlife is not an ending. It’s the moment you finally have enough experience, enough failures, enough humility, and enough fire to become who you were always meant to be. The grief you move through unlocks access to a power you’ve never known. The wisdom inside you can no longer stay silent. And when you stop abandoning yourself to avoid being abandoned by others, you discover that real peace comes from alignment with love, moment by moment, choice by choice. You’re not over the hill. You’re just getting started.

To follow and obey Jesus we need God's grace every single day. Because God knows this, he has provided four primary means of grace Christians: the Bible, Prayer, the Church, and the Sacraments.

Pastor Chris continues his message series: Ephesians. Today, he is preaching from Ephesians Chapter 3. Here, Paul begins a prayer but interrupts himself with a continual thought about peace. Paul informed the Gentiles that they were part of God's salvific plan. Though it was a mystery until Jesus came, died, and rose, God revealed his plan of one humanity to Paul who called him to preach a message of reconciliation. Paul encouraged the multi-cultural body to work together for the sake of sharing the gospel. Paul's point: God designed the Church to share His grace, love and mercy to the world. And that has not changed. God has empowered us to carry out that purpose today.

I've been blessed to see so much of America in my lifetime. Not just the big cities, but small cities that most people have never seen, are some of my favorites. One such place is Cave-In- Rock, Illinois. The town has a cave located beside the river, thus the name. Some movies have been shot there, such as “How the West Was Won” and “Tom Sawyer.” And unless you want to take the long route, the closest way to Cave-In-Rock is to take a ferry across the Ohio River. I've crossed on this ferry many times. For safety reasons, they have you turn off your engine, and I love to roll down the windows and breath in the river breeze and hear the small splashes on the ferry.When properly docked on the other side, the ferry attendant motions to which cars he wants to exit first. On one such trip, the lead car was motioned to drive forward. He started his car, panicked, put it in reverse and gave it gas. Wham! He hit the car behind him. With windows down, I heard the girl who had just been hit scream. The driver and passenger of the lead car slowly opened the door. They were an elderly couple who both seemed to be in very poor health. Worry was all over their faces. The lady who was hit never got out of her car to look at the damage. She had already looked at the precious couple walking toward her. She leaned out her window and said, “Don't worry about it. It's okay. Just drive carefully.” What kindness! Everyday grace is something we could all give and receive more of.

In this short update, Jon and Justin announce Everyday Grace! A new daily short form podcast that features the pastoral work of the hosts as well as highlights from previous episodes of Theocast to help encourage listeners in Christ every day!

Sherale exudes a joy that stands in sharp distinction to this first part of her spiritual journey. But it wasn't always this way. The tragic murder of her cousin at a family reunion left her questioning God and sent her spiraling into the darkest place she'd ever been. In the midst of partying and drinking to numb the pain, God drew her to a message of healing and forgiveness that transformed her life, her marriage, and her family. In this conclusion to her story, Sherale shares her journey out of darkenss into hope and concludes with a deeply personal message of healing grace for anyone in need of acceptance and love.

Passing judgment on what's happening around us and how other people treat us is normal. But even if it might protect us from fear, sadness or hatred, judgment takes away our happiness. And that's why we should learn how to manage it. In this episode, Matt O'Neill shares his key takeaways from Marianne Williamson's Everyday Grace. He explores how to get rid of judgment, be patient with where we are now, and ask help from God. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Stop judging others and choose love and light. Give out love, happiness and peace instead of judgment and hatred. Be wary of the ego and how it separates you from God and others. Ask God for help and guidance. Try to see other people in a new light. [01:58] Stop Judging You can't be judgmental and happy at the same time. Judging other people blocks your light in the world. Every judgment comes from a place of sadness and fear. When we're at our worst, we'd also like to receive compassion, forgiveness and empathy from others. Pray to God and wait for three days. It took for Jesus three days to rise from the grave. It may take three days for your thoughts to be resurrected. After that, your judgment will soften. [23:13] Ask Help From God God loves you so much that He will not interfere with your will unless you ask Him to. He gives us total freedom to make even the worst mistakes. He only will help if you ask — so start asking. If you feel the judgment, hatred or hurt, know that He loves you and will help you with whatever you ask. [28:15] Letting God Place all your decisions in the hands of God. God dwells in eternity and He knows the past, present, and future. Every single thing is happening for your benefit. You can learn even during the bad times. Just ask God to guide your actions and thoughts. [36:25] Finding Peace Within Yourself We can be extremely critical of ourselves. Learn to forgive yourself for your mistakes because God has already forgiven you. When you're in conflict with someone, you can either be right or you can be happy. But you can't be both. If you want happiness, peace and joy, stop trying to be right all the time. Four notable quotes: [06:04] — [06:08] “In that state, where I'm at my very worst, what I would really want from someone else is to have grace on me.” -Matt [07:05] — [06:08] “When we heal that sadness, we get to heal the judgments.” -Matt [10:53] — [10:58] “When you're giving, you feel great. And when you're judging, you feel awful.” -Matt [16:54] —[16:59] “God's will for you is your highest, most happy, most joyful, most peaceful self.” -Matt Resources Mentioned: Everyday Grace: Having Hope, Finding Forgiveness, and Making Miracles by Marianne Williamson The Good Mood Show Episode 13: Pray Everyday Tony Robbins' Priming Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey

When we think about God, we often imagine Him as a being far away, just sitting on a throne in heaven and watching us from a distance. But the truth is, God is always close by and available to us — and we can always reach Him through prayer. In this episode, Matt shares the powerful lessons he learned from Marianna Williamson's Everyday Grace. He emphasizes the importance of prayer and how it can help you lead a fruitful life. Prayer draws us closer to God and helps us heal from the things weighing us down. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Surrender your pain and suffering to God Pray every day Ask God for a miracle Always strive to live in God's will Love and forgive others Episode Highlights: [01:06] Let Go and Let God Some people may believe that if they want something, they have to grind to get it — as if God has no part in their achievements. But external success will not give you true happiness and peace. Attachment to the external world is a life that is setting you up to suffer. No problem is too hard for God to solve. No matter what you are going through, God is more powerful than any suffering. [05:57] The Power of Prayer To pray is to take spiritual action. When you have a problem, say a simple prayer. Miracles can happen at any moment. When there is a change in your perception from fear to love, then that is a miracle. Make prayer a daily habit. [09:51] What Keeps Us From Asking For Miracles Because our suffering is familiar, we might not ask for miracles. But you have to give that up to find true peace. The ego drives a wedge between God and us. Other times, we do not ask for miracles because we do not trust God. Or perhaps we do not want to relinquish control. But life becomes so much easier when we give everything up to God and stop carrying everything on our shoulders. [14:36] The Importance of Forgiveness We are on earth to love and forgive. Forgiveness sets people free. Your heart becomes open. It creates space for blessings and miracles to appear in your life. Your ego wants you to act with lovelessness but recognize that when you make mistakes — and you do — you'll want forgiveness. [19:41] Living God's Will Miracles happen when you allow them. God sustains your entire existence. Without God, you may not even be here. Every experience is a gift, even the painful and sad ones. Your job is to show up in the most loving, joyful, and inspired way possible. [25:16] Love and Be Loved Our relationship with God is our relationship with ourselves. Knowing that God is love is knowing you are loved. Never forget that you are loved, and you will be able to love others truly. Ask God to make you be more loving. God is always listening. [29:31] How to Get Rid of Pain and Fear Meditate every morning. Connect with God through silence. Pray out loud every day because words are powerful. These will help you change your perspective from fear to love.

Marianne Williamson is coming back to the Authentic Living show for the second time this week to talk to us about her latest book, The Law of Divine Compensation: On Work, Money and Miracles. Most of us already know several of Marianne's other books, including A Return to Love, The Age of Miracles, Everyday Grace, A Woman's Worth, Illuminata, Healing the Soul of America and The Gift of Change, for as Time Magazine puts it, Yoga, the Cabala and Marianne Williamson have been taken up by those seeking a relationship with God that is not strictly tethered to Christianity. We also know that thousands of books have been published on the subjects of work and money. And thousands of others on miracles. But bridging the gap between the work, the money and the miracle—now that's a subject worth considering. On this, the day after Christmas, you could have a life-changing experience through this discussion. Don't let yourself miss it!
