03/30/24 • 44 min
Embark on a poignant journey with us as we sit down with my dear friend Jeremy Day, whose story is a testament to the resilience of faith and the embrace of grace. Once a young man in Pennsylvania, Jeremy navigated a spiritual odyssey from his Catholic roots through the Pentecostal faith, all the way to the heart of Colorado, where life's tribulations and joys awaited. Together, we trace the contours of his life, from the joys of fatherhood and marriage to the dark valleys of depression and doubt, culminating in a moving return to the faith community—a modern-day prodigal son tale that promises to stir your soul.
In the throes of entrepreneurship, Jeremy's faith serves as his compass, guiding him through the unpredictability of starting and sustaining a business that's not just about profit, but also purpose. Discover the struggles and victories that come with intertwining one's spiritual beliefs with the complexities of the business world, where patience, humility, and grace become not just virtues but necessities. Listen as we share insights on maintaining faith amidst the daily grind and how the teachings of grace shape every interaction, from the boardroom to the dinner table.
Finally, we shed light on the intricacies of living a life steeped in love and grace. Through stories that span from the scriptural to the personal, we explore how Jesus' call to love transform our lives, guiding us to live beyond the letter of the law to a spirit-led existence that radiates love in every choice. As parents, entrepreneurs, and followers of Christ, we examine the profound impact of leading by example, showing love in action, and the incredible way our lives echo with the truths of grace. Join us for a conversation that will leave you contemplating the enduring power of a faith lived out in love.

The Role of Grace in Shaping Compassionate Homes and Faith Practices
When my dear friend BK stepped into the studio, the air crackled with the kind of energy only old friends can share. His eclectic background, from lock-picking to a keen mind for business development, set the stage for a conversation brimming with insights on how the subtleties of grace can enhance relationships and personal growth. Our dialogue spanned from the impact of grace in our daily interactions to its profound implications in the spiritual realm, marrying practicality with faith in an exploration designed to inspire and challenge our listeners.
Parenting is no easy task, and when tempered with grace, it becomes an art. I opened up about my own voyage through the highs and lows of raising children under the gentle guidance of grace-based principles. We dove into the heart of what it means to create a home where mistakes are not met with punishment but with understanding and connection. This raw and honest exchange shed light on the delicate interplay between discipline and grace, offering a fresh perspective on guiding our little ones to understand not just the house rules, but also the boundless love that mirrors our relationship with the divine.
As we wrapped up our series, BK and I honored the intimate and transformative power of home church communities. These gatherings are more than just meetings; they're a testament to the ways in which grace can thread through our lives, offering solace, strength, and space for personal growth. From the inclusion of children in worship to the embrace of technology, we celebrated the unique ways these communities become a breeding ground for a deeper spiritual connection. Join us as we thank BK for his invaluable contributions and tease the exciting future discussions about integrating faith in the workplace. This episode isn't just a listen; it's an invitation to journey with us in the continual discovery of grace.

From Transactional Faith to Relational Sufficiency with God
When my brother Mike Q Daniel recounted the spiritual awakening he felt during an eclipse, it reminded me of the sheer magnitude of God's design. Our latest conversation takes you through an exploration of living a life that's not just driven by human effort, but one that blooms from an authentic, grace-based relationship with Christ. We weave through the truths of Ephesians 2:10 and the compelling insights from Phelim Doherty's 'The Father We Never Knew,' unpacking the dynamic nature of Christianity and the power of embracing our identities in Christ.
Transitioning from a life measured by achievements to resting in God's grace wasn't an overnight change for me, and it's a challenge I know many of you relate to. Mike and I open up about the struggles and triumphs of understanding God's love as a constant, not something we earn with our deeds. We share personal stories that highlight the shift from seeing ourselves through a lens of performance to recognizing our worth independent of our merits – a transformation that invites an intimate and freeing relationship with God.
In the grand tapestry of our spiritual journey, dependence on God's grace is the thread that holds everything together. I share a pivotal moment inspired by Bill Loveless and John Best's discipleship conference that revolutionized my faith, steering me away from a transactional faith towards a life richly dependent on Christ. We round off our talk by celebrating the inception of the Grace Tribe Podcast and our commitment to nurturing leader development within a grace-based church structure. Embrace the invitation to revel in the beauty of God's infinite nature with us, as we each reflect His divine image in our unique ways.
