  When Peace Doesn’t Mean Easy 14.09.2026 15min

  If something is really God’s will, shouldn’t it be easier?Sometimes we assume that if God is leading us, the doors will open, everything will fall into place, and we’ll feel completely comfortable moving forward. But Scripture shows us that God’s peace and an easy path are not always the same thing.In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise talks about what it means to follow God when obedience is difficult—and why resistance, uncertainty, or discomfort don’t automatically mean we’ve missed His will.Jesus Himself prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, “Not my will, but yours, be done.” His surrender to the Father didn’t make the road ahead easy.Sometimes obedience requires us to wait when we want to move, step forward when we’re afraid, have a difficult conversation, surrender our own plans, or trust God without knowing how everything will work out.And sometimes what feels like peace may actually be the relief of avoiding obedience.So how do we know the difference?Through prayer, God’s Word, wisdom, discernment, and a heart that is genuinely willing to say, “Lord, not my will, but Yours.”If you’re following God’s leading but wondering why the road feels so difficult, this episode is a reminder:Don’t mistake difficult for wrong.God’s peace doesn’t always make the road easy. Sometimes His peace is what gives us the strength to keep walking the road He’s called us to. 💛🌻

  What Does it Mean to Guard Your Heart? 07.09.2026 12min

  What does it really mean to guard your heart?Proverbs 4:23 tells us, “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” But guarding our hearts doesn’t mean becoming cold, shutting people out, or building walls around ourselves.In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise talks about biblical boundaries, discernment, and being intentional about what we allow access to our hearts—from the voices and influences we take in to the hurts, fears, and offenses we allow to remain.But boundaries aren’t only needed around unhealthy things. Sometimes we need boundaries around good things too—even ministry and serving God.Through the story of Mary and Martha and the example of Jesus withdrawing from the crowds to pray, we’re reminded that we can become so busy doing things for Jesus that we forget to simply be with Jesus.Before we do for Jesus, we need to be with Jesus.If you’ve been stretched thin, struggling to protect your spiritual peace, or wondering where God may be asking you to set healthier boundaries, this episode is an invitation to slow down, seek His wisdom, and make room to sit at His feet.Guard your heart—but don’t harden it.
Protect your peace. Use wisdom with your time and energy. And above all, make room for Jesus. 💛

  What Do You Do When God Feels Silent? 31.08.2026 6min

  Have you ever prayed and prayed about something, only to feel like God is completely silent?You’ve asked for direction. You’ve waited for an answer. You’ve wondered what God is doing—and still, nothing seems to change.In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise talks about what it means to trust God when you can’t hear Him, see what He’s doing, or understand His timing.Through Psalm 13, Psalm 119:105, Isaiah 55:8–9, and Hebrews 13:5, we’re reminded that God’s silence does not mean God’s absence. Like David, we can bring our questions honestly before God while continuing to trust His character and His faithfulness.Sometimes God doesn’t show us the entire road ahead. He simply gives us enough light for the next faithful step.If you’re in a season of waiting, unanswered prayer, or wondering where God is, this episode is a reminder to stay close, keep praying, keep trusting His Word, and remember:God may feel quiet, but He is still there. 🌻

  Are You Tired—or Spiritually Drained? 24.08.2026 5min

  Have you ever said, “I’m just tired,” but deep down you knew it was more than physical exhaustion?Sometimes our bodies simply need rest. But other times, we can sleep, slow down, and still feel depleted because it’s our soul that is weary.In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise shares from a very personal place about recognizing physical exhaustion and spiritual weariness after a season of grief, serving, ministering, and continually pouring into others.We’ll look at the difference between needing physical rest and needing spiritual renewal—and why sometimes we need both.Jesus never asked us to run on empty. He invited the weary to come to Him:“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28If you’ve been pushing through, showing up, caring for everyone else, or wondering why you still feel exhausted even after resting, this episode is an invitation to stop striving for a moment and allow God to restore what has been poured out.Sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is rest.Your body may need rest.
Your soul may need refreshing.
And it’s okay if you need both. 💛🎙️ Grace in Every Season with Denise Schwabe

  When Your Feelings Don’t Match Your Faith 17.08.2026 7min

  What happens when you know God is faithful—but you still feel afraid? When you know He is near—but you feel alone? When you believe He is good—but your heart is hurting?Having difficult emotions doesn’t mean your faith is weak. Faith doesn’t require us to deny our feelings; it teaches us not to let our feelings determine what is true.In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise talks about what it means to walk by faith when our emotions are heavy. Through Psalm 42:11, Psalm 56:3, 2 Corinthians 5:7, and Mark 9:24, we’ll see that fear and trust can exist at the same time—and so can grief and hope, sorrow and worship, struggle and faith.You can bring every emotion honestly before God while still choosing to stand on the truth of His Word.You don’t have to wait until your feelings change to walk by faith. 💛🎙️ Grace in Every Season with Denise Schwabe

  When God Changes the Plan 10.08.2026 7min

  Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “This isn’t how I thought my story would go”?We make plans for our relationships, families, careers, health, and futures—but sometimes life takes an unexpected turn. A door closes. A relationship changes. Loss comes. The future we imagined suddenly looks very different.In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise shares what it means to trust God when the plan changes and we don’t understand why.Trusting God doesn’t mean pretending that painful things are good or denying our disappointment. Romans 8:28 doesn’t tell us that everything that happens is good—it reminds us that God is able to work all things together for good.Sometimes we even need to grieve the life we thought we would have while trusting that God is still present in the life we have now.When we want the whole map, God may simply give us enough grace for the next step.Key Scriptures: Proverbs 16:9, Romans 8:28, and Isaiah 55:8–9.If your plans have changed and you’re wondering what comes next, this episode is a reminder:A changed plan does not mean an absent God.The route may look different—but God is still with you on the journey. 💛

  What Are You Feeding Your Mind? 03.08.2026 7min

  We often pay close attention to what we put into our bodies—but how often do we consider what we are feeding our minds?Every day, we take in messages through television, social media, music, news, conversations, and even the thoughts we repeatedly entertain. Over time, what we consume can shape our peace, attitudes, emotions, and spiritual lives.In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise explores the importance of guarding our minds and becoming more intentional about the influences we allow to shape us. This is not about condemnation or creating rigid rules. It is about recognizing what draws us closer to Christ—and what may be filling us with fear, comparison, negativity, or unrest.You’ll be encouraged to replace harmful input with Scripture, prayer, worship, gratitude, godly teaching, and choices that nourish the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.Key Scriptures: Philippians 4:8, Romans 12:2, Proverbs 4:23, 2 Corinthians 10:5, Psalm 101:3, and Matthew 4:4.You may not be able to control every thought that enters your mind, but with God’s help, you can choose what you continue to feed.What feeds your mind eventually shapes your life.

  Are You Asking God For Direction or Permission? 27.07.2026 8min

  Have you ever prayed for God’s direction—but deep down, already hoped you knew what the answer would be?In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise explores the difference between seeking God’s direction and simply asking Him to approve the plans we have already made.True surrender means more than asking God to bless our decisions. It means being willing to receive yes, no, wait, or not this way, trusting that His wisdom is always greater than our own.Together we’ll look at what Scripture teaches about seeking God’s will, why our own desires can sometimes influence what we think we’re hearing, and how to cultivate a heart that truly says, “Lord, not my will, but Yours be done.”Whether you’re facing an important decision, waiting for an answer, or simply longing to walk more closely with the Lord, this episode will encourage you to trust the Shepherd who faithfully leads His sheep.Key Scriptures: Proverbs 3:5–6, Luke 22:42, James 1:5, Psalm 25:4–5, Proverbs 14:12, and Romans 12:2.True direction begins where surrender begins.

  How Do You Know When God Is Speaking? 20.07.2026 8min

  Have you ever prayed for direction and then wondered, “Was that God speaking—or was that just my own thought?”In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise shares how we can learn to recognize God’s voice in the middle of uncertainty, grief, decision-making, waiting, and everyday life.Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” But how do we know when what we are sensing is truly from God?This episode explores the importance of testing everything against Scripture, listening for the Holy Spirit’s conviction, making room for stillness, seeking wise biblical counsel, and surrendering our own desires to God’s will.God’s voice will never contradict His Word. His leading will always draw us toward truth, obedience, love, and a deeper dependence on Him.Sometimes His answer is clear. Sometimes His answer is to wait. And sometimes He gives us only enough grace for the next step.Key Scriptures: John 10:27, Psalm 46:10, 1 Kings 19:11–12, and Philippians 4:7The more deeply we know the Shepherd, the more clearly we will recognize His voice in every season.

  Have You Been Born of God? 13.07.2026 5min

  Everyone is born once—but Jesus taught that we must also be born again.In John 3, Jesus told Nicodemus that no one can see the Kingdom of God unless they are born of the Spirit. Being born of God is not about becoming more religious, attending church, or simply believing that God exists. It is about receiving new life through faith in Jesus Christ.In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise explains what it means to be born again, how salvation is received by grace through faith, and why this question matters for eternity.You’ll also hear why this message is deeply personal to Denise, especially after witnessing her son place his trust in Jesus before he entered eternity.If you have ever wondered what it truly means to be saved, made new, or become a child of God, this episode offers a clear and hope-filled invitation to know Jesus personally.Key Scriptures: John 3:3–7, John 3:16, and 2 Corinthians 5:17You cannot earn salvation. It is a gift of grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ.Have you been born of God?

  What Are You Carrying That God Never Asked You to Carry? 06.07.2026 3min

  What are you carrying today that God never asked you to carry?Many of us walk through life weighed down by burdens Jesus never intended us to bear—grief, anxiety, fear, guilt, regret, unanswered questions, and the pressure to hold everything together.In this episode of Grace in Every Season, we’ll look at Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28:“Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”Jesus isn’t asking you to figure everything out before you come to Him. He simply invites you to lay your burdens at His feet and trust Him with what you cannot carry alone.If your heart feels heavy today, I pray this episode reminds you that you don’t have to carry it by yourself. There is rest, hope, and peace in Christ.💛 If this episode encourages you, please follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs this reminder today.Truth. Grace. Hope.
