Hey fam!
We talk about grace all the time but if we’re honest, most of us blur it with mercy.
One keeps us from punishment; the other pours out blessing we didn’t earn.
This week’s episode dives into what it means to truly steward grace — to receive it deeply and extend it freely… even if you think someone is abusing it.
Grace isn’t passive. It’s God’s power in motion.
In this episode we unpack what it looks like to live accountable to God’s grace. From avoiding its abuse to extending it with truth and love, this conversation will challenge how you see both forgiveness and responsibility.
THIS WEEK’S SACRED SOUL NOTE…
THE OVERLAP OF SEASONS
There can be a new horizon while I am still changing; still being pruned from the last season. A new season before I am finished with the last.
And, honestly, a day in the season I thought I was out of. Like the changing from Summer to Fall in Ohio – one day it’s 80 degrees, the next week it’s 40, and out of no where
SMACK
80 degrees again.
What the heck? I thought that season was over.
This week’s scripture:
“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

May this week remind you: grace was never meant to be hoarded or earned.
It was meant to be shared, again and again, as a reflection of the One who gave it first.
With grace,
Cheyenne
