INSIDE: Receiving grace starts by bringing it all into the light. You can bring your dreams, plans, hopes, sins, and wounds into the light of Christ so you can receive the grace He so freely offers. Listen in for what it looks like to bring it all into the light.

We know there are no formulas, AND we also know God gives instructions and has a teacher’s heart. The Lord wants to give humans practices and principles to make the theoretical and theological practical and applicable.

Which is how this series came to be.

How does one go about receiving the grace God so freely offers?

Every believer has access to God’s grace and the tools and ability to receive it when we:

  1. Bring our hurts, sins, emotions, dreams, and needs into the light
  2. Forgive and ask for forgiveness
  3. Allow the Lord to tend our hearts.

In today’s episode, you’ll receive practical strategies and anchoring truths as you receive grace by bringing it all into the light. We walk through:

  • What you can bring into the light,
  • How to do it,
  • And what it looks like in real life.
