Real Talk With Rachael Podcast

We are in the Friendship Series. The first week I asked you to draw a friendship timeline. That laid the foundation of looking at past and current friendships, as well as noticing healthy and unhealthy themes in this area. The next two weeks we discussed gossip and jealousy. We are finishing the series by discussing grace and healthy communication. Scripture: John 1:16-17, "For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." Have you received God’s grace? Or are you still living under condemnation and unrealistic expectations for yourself? You can’t extend what you haven’t received. Grace does not give permission for people to walk all over you like a doormat. Honest communication gives space for grace while also setting spoken boundaries. Process: Do I need to receive God’s grace? Who in my life extends me grace? Who do I need to practice extending grace to? Challenge: Pray, "God, I receive Your grace today." Resource:
