  • The Mask Of Perfectionism
    Mar 20 2025

    Perfectionism vs. Excellence: Are You Chasing God or Control?

    The Mask of Perfectionism — are you chasing excellence for God’s glory, or are you really chasing control? Perfectionism isn’t just a personality trait — it’s a weight that keeps us stuck in a works-based mindset, focused more on what we accomplish than what God is doing through us. In this episode, we’re pulling back the mask to expose the truth: perfectionism isn’t about holiness — it’s about self. We’ll explore how the desire to control outcomes, avoid failure, and meet impossible standards can quietly become an idol. What if the pursuit of "excellence" isn’t what God is asking of you? What if He’s asking you to release the need to prove yourself and trust Him instead? Join us as we unpack the heart behind perfectionism, the role of the Holy Spirit in breaking free, and how renewing your mind daily is the key to walking in God’s grace — not your own strength.

    Thanks for joining us as we navigate life together, leaning into grace and truth every step of the way. Let’s grow, heal, and walk closer with the Lord—together.

  • The Power of the Tongue: When Silence Speaks Louder Than Words
    Mar 12 2025

    The Power of Silence

    Our words hold incredible power—but so does our silence. In this episode of The Gray Space, we explore the biblical wisdom behind bridling the tongue and leaning on the Holy Spirit for guidance in difficult conversations. Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is stay quiet.

    We unpack why defending yourself isn’t always necessary—God is your defender. Speaking to justify your feelings often leads to more division, especially when the other person is responding from a place of offense or brokenness. True growth happens when we surrender our need to fix, control, or be heard, trusting God to work in the unseen. Not every wrong needs to be made right immediately, and sometimes, silence carries more authority than words ever could.

    Thanks for joining us as we navigate life together, leaning into grace and truth every step of the way. Let’s grow, heal, and walk closer with the Lord—together.

  • Who Failed Who?
    Feb 27 2025

    Did God Fail You? Or Did His Plan Not Meet Your Expectations?

    Have you ever felt like God didn’t come through for you? Maybe you prayed, believed, and waited—only for things to turn out nothing like you expected. But what if the issue isn’t that God failed you… but that His plan didn’t match your expectations?

    In this episode of The Gray Space, we dive into the struggle of trusting God when His ways don’t align with our own. We wrestle with questions like: Can you still trust Him when you don’t understand? Can you obey even when the outcome looks like nothing? God honors obedience, but we have to be willing to surrender our need for control. Let’s shift our perspective, look at His track record, and ask—do we truly trust God’s way over our own?

    Thanks for joining us as we navigate life together, leaning into grace and truth every step of the way. Let’s grow, heal, and walk closer with the Lord—together.
