Let's Unpack That with Alex & Grace | Empowering Christians to Live Out Authentic Faith

Ever wonder if it's okay for Christians to celebrate Halloween? It's a question that sometimes comes up in the back of our minds, but one that most of us usually just ignore. 

For some, Halloween is just harmless fun with candy and costumes. For others, Halloween is associated with spiritual darkness and should be avoided at all costs.

We believe God invites us to engage with him and do things out of conviction and intention (rather than passivity and ignorance), so it’s worth the thought and conversation to understand WHY & HOW we choose to participate (or NOT participate) in any activity–including Halloween.

We invite you to join us with an open mind and heart as we dive into the nuances of Halloween (and other popular celebrations / activities) and faith and share 3 key questions to think about – and hope you'll find clarity and ideas for how to honor and glorify God in ALL that you do.

What do you do when you aren’t sure if you even believe in God anymore?

“Is Jesus truly worth following? Is God even real? What if this Christianity stuff is all made up?”

We often think of doubt as a bad thing—a hindrance to faith.

But what if doubt is actually a vital element of what real faith is?

In this episode, we share our personal journeys and testimonies of walking through doubt, despair, and seeming hopelessness—3 powerful takeaways we still carry with us today.

If you’re questioning your faith, or know someone who is, this episode is for you.

We pray that it gives you comfort knowing you’re not alone, along with strength and hope to keep going.

How do you keep standing strong in faith… even when your prayers STILL haven’t been answered… and it HURTS?

Today, we dive deep into this very common, and often painful, and often deeply private, struggle. How do we honestly grapple with unanswered prayers - and all the complex emotions, doubts, and internal tensions that come with them?

Tune in as we share our personal experiences, including Grace journeying through this in singleness and Alex's struggles in less-than-ideal job situations.

We unpack five hidden blessings we’ve personally gleaned in these seasons that can be easily overlooked… but once we pay attention to them, we realize are key to our own transformation.

We also share practical tips for how to “wait well” - and take care of your heart, mind, and soul when you’re still in the season of “not yet.”

If you're feeling discouraged or find yourself in waves of doubt because of the dreams or desires that haven’t come to fruition yet… friend, you are NOT alone.

We pray this conversation encourages you and equips you with perspectives and tools for greaterhope, strength, and endurance to keep going.

If being generous scares you… that’s okay.

Because that tension really is an invitation into a deeper revelation of God’s character and truth, his Kingdom principles, and so much more.

Most of us know that it's "good" to be generous (financially AND otherwise)... and yet, it can also be challenging to know how (and how MUCH) God actually wants us to live that out in our everyday lives.

Today, we're sitting down with our friend Emily Reed and talking about all things generosity: working through our own fears and the barriers, discovering the powerful ripple effect of generosity, the practical examples and mindset shifts that have helped us most, as well as amazing personal testimonies of how exercising generosity doesn't just change us—but others through us, too.

Just because it's a good thing... doesn't mean you should do it.

Every single day, we're faced with a number of decisions.

For some of us, it can feel daunting just to choose a restaurant to go to, or pick items off a menu, or what outfit to wear to an event...

Let alone higher-stake decisions, like who to date or marry, whether to change jobs, whether to move (especially in a seemingly never-ending sea of information, opinions, and options).

For others of us, our issue is more about overcommitting to things that ALL seem like good opportunities to pursue... leaving little time and energy for our actual values.

Whether big or small, decision-making can sometimes feel like an overwhelming puzzle.

And both of us have faced (and continue to face!) our fair share of difficult decisions and the unnecessary stress that can often accompany them.

But through the crossroads in our own journeys, we've learned some super valuable lessons and tips that we want to share to help you discern God's will - and how he is leading you.

In this episode, we dive into some factors that make decision-making so hard... and walk you through 4 categories of important questions that have helped us a lot in discerning between what's a "good" vs. a "should."

We hope this conversation and framework helps you break free from analysis paralysis... and instead, find God's divine wisdom and guidance from amidst all the noise, in order to step forward with clarity, purpose, and confident faith!

Do you struggle with a "love-hate" relationship with food?

Even if it might not be obvious on the outside, many people actually struggle with their relationship with food - and not even realize it's doing them harm long-term.

And because health and nutrition can conjure up different feelings of shame, guilt, or even apathy (depending on your history with food), it's something that we don't tend to talk about often.

Today we're excited to be joined by Verona Angol, certified CBT Mindset & Macros Nutrition Coach and host of the Lose Weight With Macros Podcast.

Verona shares her own personal journey from working in IT and giving into constant cravings, to experiencing deep transformation through the help of a counselor - and the ultimate Counselor - to now helping others, too, through Mindset & Macros Coaching.

Hear how she went from eating McDonald's every single day and self-sabotaging through binge eating and body shame... to experiencing the Holy Spirit's help in finally learning to nourish not just her body, but also her mind, heart, and soul.

We also dive into the psychology behind our relationship with food and nutrition, how to prevent yo-yo dieting and legalistic mindsets – as well as practical ways to cultivate a balanced and disciplined approach to what and how we eat, without losing the joy of food and fellowship.

We hope this episode empowers you to enjoy a healthier, freer, and God-honoring relationship with what (and how) you consume into the body he's given you.

More and more, the term "self-care" is getting tossed around in our culture and held in higher esteem.

On the other hand, it's generally much more rare to hear about "soul care."

Or, if we do (typically in Christian spiritual formation niches), it often still feels abstract and mysterious...

So today, we want to demystify BOTH.

Join us as we dive into the #1 voted-on topic that you picked in our Instagram poll: the difference between "self-care" & "soul care. "

At times, these terms are used interchangeably or in different ways, so we explore the hidden nuances and explore why embracing both is essential for our lives... as well as real-life examples and practical ways to engage in self-care and soul care that go beyond cliché and surface-level ideas.

We also address common challenges that prevent us from taking care of ourselves and our souls, and offer actionable tips for overcoming them, based on what's been helpful for us in our personal journeys.

We hope that this conversation helps inspire you with a deeper understanding of why God invites us to care for ourselves holistically - as well as life-giving ideas for how to put that into action.

Comparison can be a silent thief, robbing us of joy, contentment, and SO much more.

In this episode, we dive into the complexities and nuances of comparison, sharing our own raw and honest (and ongoing) experiences with it - and what has been most helpful to us in overcoming it.

Join us as we explore the hidden ways that comparison seeps into our lives, affecting us in ways we often don't even realize... including our faith, relationships, and identity.

We pray that these unconventional tactics (that most people don't talk about) and our personal examples and stories empower you to break free from the comparison trap... and confidently become the person God's made you to be, and powerfully live out the unique purpose he's called you to fulfill!

Ever wonder what it's like to literally hear God's voice?

But even when we don't... how can we still faithfully discern and take steps forward in the calling he has for us?

Today we sit down with Chris Beth as he shares his inspiring personal story of how God led him from a 35-year-career in business to founding The Bucket Ministry, a non-profit organization that shares God’s love and truth with under-resourced communities around the world through the gift of clean, safe, drinking water.

As a new believer, Chris found himself unexpectedly in the Amazon rainforest. Through this humbling experience, God spoke to him in an extraordinary, audible way - one that would forever change his life.

In this episode, we unpack Chris' process of discovering and stepping into his God-given assignment, navigating through doubts and ambiguities, and the impact it's all had on him and his family.

Most of all, we pray that this conversation helps you take steps forward in pursuing your God-given assignment - to help and serve those he cares for - with purpose, boldness, and FAITH.

Life is FULL of ups and downs.

Our schedules quickly get packed.

Our to-do lists often feel endless… and only keep getting longer.

At the same time… God invites us to find REST, peace, and strength we need from him.

But HOW do we practically do that, in the midst of an increasingly fast-paced world?

If there’s anyone who knows this struggle, it’s Anthony Kennada, Co-Founder and CEO of AudiencePlus, and Alex’s former colleague turned friend.

Join us as Anthony shares powerful testimonies (including a life-changing medical miracle) and hard lessons he’s learned throughout his career and journey as an executive leader, marketer, husband, dad… and how God used all of it to ignite a personal revival in him and his family, revealing to them the importance of spiritual practices for thriving in all areas of his life.

Together, we’ll explore real-life examples of WHY and how to practically incorporate and live out spiritual practices in our everyday lives - REGARDLESS of the increasing pace or changing circumstances around us - as well as how to cultivate a healthy attitude towards our spiritual growth (instead of being driven by religion and perfectionism).

Ever feel like work is swallowing you whole... like you're drowning in deadlines, responsibilities, and a constant pressure to do more than you might even be able to handle?

Alicia Michelle, certified Christian Mindset NeuroCoach and host of The Christian Mindset Coach Podcast, joins Grace to open up about her personal journey of nearly losing her life to workaholism, what she’s learned and how she’s changed since then, and how her experiences have ignited her mission to help others find LASTING FREEDOM.

We dive into the REAL reasons why so many of us push ourselves to the brink - and practical ways to leverage tools from neuroscience AND lean on the power of the Holy Spirit and God's Word to BREAK FREE from the trap of overworking.

It's a powerful combo that will revolutionize the way you approach work - and the rest of LIFE.

This isn't just about quick fixes, "life hacks," or temporary relief...

It's about unlocking KEYS that DON'T often get talked about, that lead the life of freedom, peace, and empowerment that God desires for you.

If you ever feel trapped in a never-ending cycle of work, anxiety, restlessness, and worry... you are not alone.

We pray that this episode speaks to you and helps you in whatever situation you might feel stuck in. 🤍

With Father's Day around the corner... we want to specifically dedicate this (very vulnerable) episode to those of you who have a complicated relationship with your dad.

In many cultures especially (such as ours as Asian Americans), it’s normal to feel unsure and ill-equipped to navigate the confusing and complex “love-hate” tensions we often feel with our parents... especially our dads. (Ever wonder why the term “daddy issues” exists?)

But it makes it that much harder, too, when your social media feed gets flooded with "I love you, Dad!" posts on Father's Day.

So join us today, as we share openly and candidly about:

• The biblical importance of a father’s role
• How our personal relationships with our dads have shaped us (both negatively and positively) and our relationships with God
• Our deep-rooted father wounds, including the struggles we have even to this day
• What has practically helped us find healing, hope, and restoration in the midst of all of it

So, if you have a complicated relationship with your dad...

This one’s for you.

We hope that this very REAL and raw conversation brings you comfort - so you know that you are not alone.

We pray that this encourages and helps you to be able to better see your dad through Jesus’ eyes - and to love your dad with Jesus’ love for each and every one of us. ❤️
