Grace in the Grit with Jen Engroff

BGM_Season 3 Episode 5 The version of Me that didn’t know better

The version of me that didn’t know better…
I used to judge her.
The choices.
The reactions.
The things I stayed in too long.
But now?
I see her differently.
She wasn’t weak… she was learning.
She wasn’t failing… she was surviving.
Romans 8:1 reminds me:
“There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
So I’m letting go of the shame.
I’m choosing grace.

BGM_Season 3 Episode 4 Rearview Mirror God was there the Whole Time

Sometimes you don’t see God in the middle of it…
the stress, the heartbreak, the waiting, the “why is this happening?”
But then time passes…
and you look back.
And suddenly you see it—
He carried you.
He protected you.
He made a way when there wasn’t one.
God was there the whole time.

BGM_Season 3 Episode 2 Rearview Mirror – Don’t Live Looking Back

You can’t move forward
while constantly looking back at what broke you,
who hurt you,
or who you used to be.
📖 Luke 9:62 — “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
God didn’t bring you this far
for you to stay stuck in old chapters.
This episode is for the ones replaying the past…
the ones carrying regret…
the ones who feel pulled backward.
It’s time to release it.
It’s time to move forward.
