Have you ever realized how important heroes are to God? As we look at scripture, there are numerous examples of heroes, and through these people, we see that God is passionate about heroism. Today, Grace's founding pastor, Terryl Delaney returns for a special service that honors heroes and remembers 9/11.

Have you ever been in a place where you felt like the wheels were coming off your life, and you were helpless in knowing what to do? How do we find our way out of those dark nights in our lives that seem like they'll never end? In this episode, Jarrod gives us some very simple ideas about how we remind ourselves of the radical truth that God's presence must be what we seek in those times - even above our own comfort.

When it comes to Jesus, are you hesitant to tell the truth to those that need to hear it? What does it take to defend the truth the Jesus is God and the only way to life, both here on earth and eternally? Today, Jarrod brings us what it means to have boldness in this next episode of the Truth Softener series.

What's the environment like at your workplace? Can you openly talk about God? If your workplace is like most, it's probably hard to imagine that God could have a place there, but as Matt Reed reminds us today in "Everybody's Job", this is territory that God wants to claim for His very own.

Do you ever find it hard to talk to others about your faith? What about talking to your neighbors? In this episode, Pastor Matt gives us some great insight into how we should follow the Lord's example in sharing our belief in Christ Jesus.

As we heard last week, it certainly isn't easy to tell someone a truth that they may not want to hear, but is it even harder to hear such a truth about ourselves? Could it be possible that there are blind spots that we need to be shown, and thus hear an uncomfortable truth? In "Truth Rub (Part 2 of 2)", Jarrod not only continues to show us how to deliver truth, but also how we should hear it.

Have you ever found yourself in a tight situation where you had to tell someone a hard truth? Did you soften things up too much, or did you deliver a blow that was a bit too abrasive? In this episode, Jarrod launches the series "Truth Softener" by giving us some perspective on how to deliver non-negotiable truths, using the Apostle Peter as our model.
