Grace in the Grit with Jen Engroff

☀️🎙️ NEW EPISODE: Grace in the Grit – Summer with Jesus, Episode 3
“You Don’t Have to Carry Summer Stress Alone”
Summer is supposed to be relaxing, but for many of us, the worries don’t take a vacation. Whether you’re carrying concerns about your children, finances, health, relationships, or simply feeling overwhelmed, God never intended for you to carry those burdens by yourself.
📖 1 Peter 5:7
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
In this episode, we’re talking about:
✨ Why we carry more than we were meant to
✨ The difference between responsibility and control
✨ How to truly surrender our worries to God
✨ Finding peace in His presence instead of our circumstances
Friend, whatever you’re carrying today, Jesus is inviting you to lay it down at His feet. You don’t have to be strong enough to hold it all together. You only need to trust the One who already is.
Take a deep breath. God’s got you. ❤️

“God Still Speaks in Quiet Places”
📖 1 Kings 19:12
In a world full of noise, distractions, worries, and endless notifications, God often chooses to speak through a gentle whisper.
Just like Elijah, we sometimes expect God to show up in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire. But often His voice comes in the quiet moments—in prayer, in Scripture, in stillness, and in the peace that only He can give.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or wondering where God is in your current season, this episode is for you.
✨ God is still speaking.
✨ He is still guiding.
✨ He is still near.
✨ Don’t miss the whisper while waiting for the thunder.
“After the fire came a gentle whisper.” — 1 Kings 19:12

Summer with Jesus ☀️
Rest Isn’t Lazy, It’s Holy
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
In a world that glorifies hustle and constant productivity, Jesus offers something different: REST.
Not because you’ve earned it.
Not because you’ve finished everything on your list.
But because your soul needs it.
This week on Grace in the Grit, we’re talking about:
✨ Why rest is a gift from God
✨ How even Jesus made time to rest
✨ Letting go of guilt and striving
✨ Finding peace in God’s presence
✨ Practical ways to slow down and spend time with Jesus this summer

Have you ever looked back over your life and wondered, “How did I make it through that?”
The answer may be simpler than you think:
✨ God’s grace was carrying you all along. ✨

Sometimes healing means learning how to look back… without going back.
The memories may still exist.
The lessons still matter.
But God never called us to live trapped in old chapters.
“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal…” — Philippians 3:13-14
In today’s episode of Grace in the Grit, we’re talking about:
✨ Letting go of emotional attachment to the past
✨ Trusting God with what He removed
✨ Healing without reopening old wounds
✨ Moving forward even when it feels uncomfortable
You can honor what you survived without returning to what broke you.

Healing doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt. ❤️‍🩹
Some wounds changed you.
Some prayers were cried through tears.
Some battles left scars no one else can see.
But healing isn’t pretending it never happened.
Healing is choosing to keep going while God restores the broken places little by little.
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain…”
— Revelation 21:4

Some moments change everything…
The phone call.
The heartbreak.
The answered prayer.
The season you never saw coming.
In today’s episode of Grace in the Grit, we’re talking about the moments that reshaped our lives—and how God was present in every single one of them.
✨ “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”
— Ecclesiastes 3:1
If you’ve ever looked back and realized God was working even in the hardest seasons… this episode is for you.
🎙️ TODAY’S EPISODE: The Moments That Changed Everything
💛 Real faith. Real healing. Real hope.

“Forgiving Yourself for Survival Mode”
So many of us carry shame for the version of ourselves that was just trying to survive.
The exhaustion. The anxiety. The shutting down. The mistakes made while overwhelmed.
But God’s grace was never meant only for other people.
It’s for you too.
📖 “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
— Ephesians 4:32 NIV
In this episode, we’re talking about:
✨ Survival mode and emotional exhaustion
✨ Letting go of self-condemnation
✨ Healing from shame and regret
✨ Learning to receive God’s grace for yourself
✨ Moving from surviving to healing
If you’ve been carrying guilt from a hard season… this episode is for you. 🤍

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.”
— Isaiah 40:29 (NIV)
Some seasons don’t just make you tired… they make you soul weary.
This episode is for the ones carrying silent battles, showing up exhausted, and wondering how they’re still standing.
Maybe you thought you were barely holding on… but the truth is, God has been strengthening you the entire time.

Sometimes we exhaust ourselves trying to fix people, carry people, and heal wounds that only God can touch.
The truth is…
You can love deeply without becoming someone’s savior.
Healing belongs to God.
If you’ve been carrying the weight of everyone else’s pain, this episode is for you. 💔➡️❤️‍🩹
