Many Christians understand that salvation is a gift of grace, but when it comes to growing in holiness, the conversation often shifts toward self-effort. Titus 2:11-14 makes clear that the same grace that saves us is also actively training us toward self-controlled, upright, and godly living. Grace is not simply something God did in the past. It is something He is doing right now. This means we are called to grace-dependent effort, working out what God is working in us, not relying on our own strength, but not sitting passively either. Christ gave Himself not only so that sin would no longer condemn us, but so that sin would no longer own us. We pursue holiness not to earn our place with Christ, but because we already belong to Him. The grace that saved you is the same grace that is training you today.
In this episode of the Fearless Happyness Podcast, host Max Nijst speaks with Paula Robbins, a metaphysical hypnotherapist and author, about her journey to sobriety and the challenges she faced along the way.

In this conversation, Max Nijst and Paula Robins explore the profound impact of subconscious thinking and trauma on behavior, particularly in the context of addiction and recovery. They discuss the importance of connection through community, mentorship, and service work as essential pillars for a healthy recovery. Paula shares her journey of writing her book, 'Hitchhiking into Recovery,' which emphasizes the significance of daily rituals and divine alignment in personal growth.

God's saving grace is the free and unearned favor of God. He gives it to people to forgive their sins and bring them eternal life through Jesus Christ. People cannot earn this gift by doing good works alone.Support the showhttp://www.gwafgbc.org http://www.gwafgbc.org/storehttp://www.gwafgbc.org/givehttps://vimeo.com/manage/videos
On the Self-Publishing with ALLi podcast, host Howard Lovy talks to novelist, poet, and educator Elizabeth Gauffreau about beta readers — what they actually do, how they differ from developmental editors, and why their real job is reader response, not critique. Drawing on decades of giving and receiving feedback as a writer and teacher, Gauffreau explains how authors can set clear expectations, choose the right readers, sort through conflicting feedback, and know when a reader's gut reaction matters more than being factually right.

Salvation is by grace alone. Anything added to grace poisons the gospel.
Salvation is by grace alone. Anything added to grace poisons the gospel.
The word “grace” brings sweet thoughts; a kind and giving word. However a grace that saves must be a grace received when given. Are we learning and embracing the grace of God?
We often talk about album openers and closers and I'm sure my pal John Paulsen and I will get into that next week, but of all the songs that were included on this record, the opener and the closer just scream at you on Highway Companion. Both Saving Grace and The Golden Rose have momentum and hit that theme of travelling perfectly, but they do it in very different ways. Saving Grace soars above the scenery and exhilarates as it takes you on its journey. The Golden Rose on the other hand floats, almost without the aid of any manual propulsion.Song : https://youtu.be/762qbtPsKlkADDITIONAL LINKSJudge Timbers' tutorial: https://youtu.be/Mf7AJJH55Gs Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Follow: https://linktr.ee/tompettyprojectListen: https://pod.link/1580769475All music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

He shares how a saxophone became his church, his career, and his way to give peace back to other veterans. • meeting through the Herd Foundation Freedom Patch program and why it changes lives • using humor to cover pain and calling out the “trauma Olympics” mindset • life on the flightline, fighter jets, noise exposure, and what service feels like • choosing the Air Force, going overseas, and growing up fast away from home • dealing with racism on base and the long tail of hypervigilance • culture shock returning stateside and why trust can disappear overnight • the rough edges of transition out of the military and why support matters • picking up sax later, practicing relentlessly, and finding a real voice • getting endorsed, working with Walter Beasley, and hearing his music went to space • playing at the VA hospital to give other veterans a break from the noise If you like it, share it Like, Subscribe and Share.

This sermon examines God's sovereign saving grace in Saul's conversion. While not every Christian can say they have had quite so dramatic a "Damascus road experience," yet the grace that saved Saul is the same that saves any sinner.

What is God's Grace?Grace 3 Saving GraceBrian UyedaOriginal Air Date: 2026.05.03We believe The Bible, God's word, is inspired by Him, through the Holy Spirit and is sufficient for everything you need in life – guidance, wisdom, strength, encouragement and HOPE. His word reveals His nature and character and His plan of redemption through His Son Jesus Christ, through whom we can have eternal salvation when we choose to follow Him. We also believe the Bible remains relevant in our world today and its power is experienced when personally and consistently applied and practiced.Part of your journey may include choosing a Bible translation and there are many. To help you choose, it is important to know that a “translation” is word-for-word while a “paraphrase” is thought- for- thought. If you are new to Bible reading or don't yet have one, we offer FREE Bibles that are English Standard Version translation – a very easy to read Bible. Other options are Bible Apps you can download to your phone, or sites like: www.Bible.org, www.biblegateway.com or www.blueletterbible.org.We invite you to join us for weekend services:Saturday Evening at 5:30pm.

When life feels uncertain, it's easy to wonder if God is still at work. In Ruth 4, we see the story come full circle—what began with loss, grief, and bitterness turns into redemption, restoration, and purpose. What looked ordinary on the surface was actually God moving behind the scenes the entire time. This isn't just a story about Ruth and Naomi—it's a reminder that God is writing a bigger story than we can see.
Why is a walk in a garden so relaxing? Because we were created to live in God's garden of perfection, forever. Unfortunately, as the story goes, Adam and Eve made a fatal error and were forced to make their home in the garden of sin instead, where nothing is perfect or peaceful.But remember, this is God's story! God came looking for Adam and Eve after they disobeyed. And in His grace, He still comes looking for us today. Jill Briscoe takes us through biblical examples of God's saving grace and how He offers us a way to His riches through Christ.

Robert Plant is one of the true legends of rock n roll. His vocals made Led Zeppelin the biggest band in the world and his solo career is now in its 5th decade encompassing all sorts of different musical styles and genres. But Robert isn't a man who needs to trade on his past to get by. While he doesn't forget where he comes from, he's one to always push forward to explore new sounds and new collaborators to fulfill his yearning for making music. It makes for a great night out with Suzi Dian and Saving Grace, with whom he recorded an album of celtic/bluegrass/country tunes, all of which were covers or traditionals. His voice is still very smooth and perfect for the music he's choosing to make today. He doesn't have the ferocious yawp of 70s Robert Plant but he reworks some Zeppelin classics to fit the style of his band, the music he plays and how he performs today. So you'll hear about a reworked Ramble On, a true to form Four Sticks and a raucous version of Friends. But he also gives Calling to You a makeover, as well as an amazing and soulful I'm In The Mood which he and Suzi make new again with their voices in unison. If you want to see a bunch of Zeppelin tunes performed the way they sounded on the albums, go see Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening (you can hear our review of that show from November, 2025) as it's an awesome show. But if you want to see a true legend still shine with new music and some nods to his past, you might not have a better night than seeing Robert Plant on this tour.

Ephesians 2:8 - "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God"There is no relationship with God without salvation. And there is no salvation without grace
What if knowing about Jesus isn't the same as truly encountering Him? On the road to Emmaus, the risen Jesus turns head knowledge into a burning, life-changing reality. Grace isn't just a safety net for eternity, it's power for the life you're living right now. This is an invitation to move beyond religion and step into a real, transforming relationship with Him.
This message challenges the idea that growing in faith should make us less dependent on Jesus, using the older brother in the Prodigal Son to expose the trap of earning what was always a gift. It reveals that true spiritual maturity isn't self-sufficiency, but a deeper awareness of our ongoing need for grace.
This is a lovely recording of a short set performed in tandem with an interview with David Fricke, which happened March 25. 2026 in Nashville, TN. This is the night before their performance at the legendary Ryman. The band are brilliant, Robert is in good voice, and spirits, and the show is sublime. I play It's A Beautiful Day Today, Everybody's Song, and Ramble On.
In this message, we explore how the gift of God's grace can become familiar and lose its impact in our lives. Looking at Ephesians 2:8, we confront the drift from receiving grace to striving for acceptance through performance. This teaching challenges us to rediscover grace not as something we earn, but as a gift we receive through faith. It's an invitation to move from exhaustion and striving into freedom, healing, and a renewed relationship with Jesus.

Justin Connor, filmmaker and musician behind The Golden Age, shares how his saxophonist father and jazz-loving parents never encouraged music yet inadvertently programmed workaholism into his DNA—a double-edged sword that became both his greatest asset for wearing multiple hats on independent films and his potential downfall requiring hard drive reformatting of his life. Connor reveals how cigarette addiction reflected grief stored in the lungs, how psychedelics and ayahuasca offered exploration without true addiction, and why workaholism proved more dangerous than any substance by fueling perfectionism, obsessive careerism, and control. Drawing from his upbringing witnessing family dynamics, he explains how directing became about trusting himself as an adult after childhood wounds, why he interned for Eric Holder before a double feature of Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction redirected him to Hollywood, and how creating The Golden Age with superhuman strength felt like lancing a boil that needed purging—a film he could never remake even with 10 million dollars.
