Episode 97 self respect

This Grit and Grace Life Podcast Preview – Episode 97 Get It Girl! How Self-Respect Can Change Your Life

By / Purpose

In a society where we see so much of others’ prim and perfect lives (hello, social media!), we’re often led to wonder where we went wrong. We might see our shortcomings more than our successes, and we may have had people in our lives who loved to point them out. It’s no wonder that healthy self-respect is hard to find these days. Whether you know it or not, you deserve more. You’re worthy of the best life has to offer, and if you want others to respect you, you need to respect yourself first. In this podcast episode, Darlene and Julie discuss how to find your confidence and why you need to carry yourself with self-respect in all areas of your life.

Episode 92 Proverbs 31 woman

This Grit and Grace Life Podcast Preview – Episode 92 Are You the Proverbs 31 Woman? Should You Be?

By / Purpose

Ahh, the Proverbs 31 woman. We’ve all heard of her—a beautiful, hardworking wife and mother, who spends her days managing her household and curating nutritious meals for her family, all while dressed in luxurious purple silk. She seems like a fantasy, a perfect woman, and there seems to be so much pressure among Christian women to fit in that mold. What if you don’t feel like a Proverbs 31 woman? Maybe you’re a single mom, or you work from home. Do you fit in this category, and should you try? In reality, God has called us each to a different path that may not be identical to that of the lovely lady in the Proverbs, but she exists in each of us

Never Question Your Value — Jodi Schultz (video)

By / Faith

Any number of things can make us question our self-worth, whether it’s our inability to excel in a job or skill, or allowing the harsh words of someone we care about to shatter our spirit. The pain of feeling like we have no value is detrimental, but even if we believe it, it simply isn’t true. Grit and Grace Life writer Jodi Schultz shares what she told another woman who doubted her worth: that the only person who can determine your worth is the one who created you. And because the One who created us is God, we have infinite value and we are loved.

By / Relationships

Dr. Zoe, a licensed psychotherapist and regular contributor at Grit and Grace Life, answers the question: “What do I do when we have been dating forever and he still hasn’t proposed?” This is a tough situation to be in. You love him and you can envision forever with him! But it’s been months … or years … and he has yet to get down on one knee and ask the big question. Maybe you’ve already hinted around at your desire to be married, or even approached him about it directly, to no avail. This situation will place you at a crossroads. Although you love him, you have to decide if you want to be a forever girlfriend (or even a forever fiancé).

Finding Purpose in the Simple Moments (video)

By / Purpose

One of the biggest questions in life—and one of the biggest searches on our website—is  discovering our purpose. We’re inclined to think our purpose is tied to who we are or what we do, but it’s often much simpler than that. Jodi Shultz, a writer at Grit and Grace Life, explains that it’s possible to find our purpose in the little moments. She uses the phrase, “Love the one in front of you” as a guiding principle in searching for her daily purpose. Here, Jodi lists all the ways you, too, can meet the needs of those around you.

What Your Grieving Friend Really Wants You to Know (video)

By / Relationships

Nothing embodies “grit and grace” quite like a grief journey—and this is true whether the person grieving is you or someone you love. Grief brings about a rollercoaster of emotions that vary with each individual. No one grief journey is the same as someone else’s. And because of that, it’s important to be sensitive to someone’s emotions and the memory of the person they lost. This is often difficult, and, if we’re being honest, a bit awkward. Our natural instinct is to reach out and shoulder some of the pain for our friend, to erase some of the sadness that has infiltrated her life. But in doing so, we stumble over our words, offer empty phrases intended to be encouraging, or try
