  • Are You Changing the World, Or Is It Changing You? - 294
    Oct 13 2026

    How are you changing the world? Does the love of Jesus come through in everything you do? Or do you find it difficult to walk boldly in your faith amid a world that's turning away from God?

    If you resonate with the latter, you're not alone. In this episode of This Grit and Grace Life podcast, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender discuss the challenge of living out our faith when our culture is quick to dismiss anything to do with God. The prevailing message of our world is to "follow your truth"—a subjective command that can cause well-meaning women of faith to stray from God's guidance.

    Tune into this episode to learn how to love others without compromising on your convictions and become the salt and light we were created to be.
