Grace in the Grit with Jen Engroff

🎙️ Season 5: Finding Joy
🌿 Episode 2: Choosing Joy When Life Doesn’t Make Sense
Have you ever prayed and prayed…and nothing seemed to change?
Maybe you’re waiting for the breakthrough.
Maybe you’re worried about your family.
Maybe you’re walking through a season you simply don’t understand.
This episode is a reminder that we don’t have to wait for everything to get better before we choose joy. ❤️
📖 Habakkuk 3:17–19
“Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.”
There is something powerful about praising God before the breakthrough comes.
🙏 Before the answer.
🙏 Before the healing.
🙏 Before the situation changes.
🙏 Before we understand what God is doing.
Sometimes faith simply sounds like:
“God, I don’t understand this season…yet I will rejoice.”
🎧 Join me for this week’s Grace in the Grit as we talk about finding joy in the middle of uncertainty and trusting that God is still working—even when we can’t see it yet.
💛 If you know someone walking through a difficult season, share this episode with them.

🎙️ New Grace in the Grit Podcast Episode | Episode 13
💙 Calming Our Anxious Hearts
Anxiety has a way of convincing us that we’re alone, overwhelmed, and that the weight we’re carrying is ours to bear. But God’s Word tells a different story.
“Do not be anxious about anything… And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:6–7
In this episode of Grace in the Grit, we’ll talk about:
✨ What the Bible says about anxiety
✨ Finding peace in the middle of uncertainty
✨ Practical ways to calm an anxious heart through prayer and Scripture
✨ Trusting God when life feels overwhelming
If you’ve been struggling with worry, panic, fear, or simply feeling exhausted, this episode is for you. My prayer is that you’ll be reminded that you are deeply loved, never alone, and held securely in God’s hands.
Take a deep breath. Slow your heart. God is with you.
🎧 Listen, be encouraged, and share this episode with someone who needs God’s peace today.
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you… Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” — John 14:27

The Version of You God Is Rebuilding
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Have you ever looked in the mirror after a difficult season and thought, “I’m not the same person I used to be?”
Maybe life has changed you through loss, heartbreak, unanswered prayers, parenting challenges, illness, or disappointment.
Here’s the good news: God isn’t finished with your story.
He isn’t simply putting the broken pieces back together—He’s creating something new. Every tear, every setback, and every season of waiting is part of His beautiful rebuilding process.
In this episode of Grace in the Grit, we’ll discover:
✨ Why God doesn’t waste our brokenness
✨ How to let go of who we used to be
✨ What it means to become a new creation in Christ
✨ How to trust God while He’s rebuilding your life
No matter what you’ve walked through, your past does not define you. Your identity is found in Christ, and His plans for your life are still full of hope.

✨ Jesus in the Middle of Family Chaos ✨
Is your home feeling overwhelming lately? Maybe you’re navigating difficult conversations, parenting challenges, financial stress, or simply trying to hold everything together.
The good news is this: Jesus doesn’t wait for the chaos to end before He shows up. He meets us right in the middle of it. ❤️
This week, we’re diving into Philippians 4:6–7 and discovering how God’s peace can guard our hearts—even when life feels anything but peaceful.
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
— Philippians 4:6–7 (KJV)
If you’ve been carrying the weight of your family on your shoulders, this episode is for you. Let’s be reminded together that we were never meant to carry it alone.

✨ Letting Go of What’s Draining You ✨
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders… and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” — Hebrews 12:1
Have you been carrying more than God ever intended?
Maybe it’s…
🤍 Fear
🤍 Guilt
🤍 Anxiety
🤍 Comparison
🤍 Unforgiveness
🤍 The pressure to fix everything
🤍 The weight of trying to control what only God can handle
Sometimes the reason we’re so exhausted isn’t because we’re doing too much—it’s because we’re carrying too much.

Peace Doesn’t Mean Everything Is Perfect
📖 “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you… Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” — John 14:27
Have you ever thought, “I’ll finally have peace when life settles down?”
The truth is, Jesus never promised a life without storms. He promised His presence in the middle of them.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
✨ Finding peace in the middle of uncertainty
✨ Trusting God when life feels out of control
✨ Letting go of fear and choosing faith
✨ Practical ways to experience God’s peace every day
If you’re carrying a heavy heart, waiting on answers, parenting through hard seasons, grieving, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I pray this episode reminds you that God’s peace isn’t based on perfect circumstances—it’s rooted in His perfect presence.
Take a deep breath today. God is still with you. He is still faithful. And His peace is available to you right where you are.

The Strength You Didn’t Know You Had 💙
“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” — Isaiah 40:29
Have you ever looked back at one of the hardest seasons of your life and wondered, “How did I make it through?”
Maybe you’ve been carrying the weight of parenting, grief, illness, financial struggles, or simply trying to hold your family together. If you’re feeling exhausted, this episode is a reminder that you were never meant to carry it all alone.
In this episode, we’ll talk about:
✨ Why being tired doesn’t mean you’re weak
✨ How God strengthens us one day at a time
✨ Looking back and recognizing His faithfulness
✨ Finding hope when you feel like you have nothing left to give
If you’re in a season where you’re barely hanging on, I pray this conversation reminds you that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness.
🎧 Listen, be encouraged, and share this episode with someone who needs the reminder that they are not alone.
❤️ I’d love to hear from you:
When has God given you strength that you didn’t know you had?

But what if God isn’t delaying you?
What if He’s preparing you?

Healing Doesn’t Always Happen Fast
Sometimes we pray for healing and expect it overnight. But often, God works in seasons, not seconds.
Maybe you’re waiting for healing in your heart, your family, your relationships, or someone you deeply love.
Take heart today: slow healing is not the same as no healing.
God is still working—even in the waiting.
📖 “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3
