Ep 21: Stacey’s Life Application of Grace (Grace Series Part 2)

Welcome back to O.P.O.P : Operation Protect Our Peace. Today is Part 2 of our Grace Series, and Stacey opens up about how grace has carried her through some of the hardest seasons of her life — injuries, physical setbacks, personal trials, frustration, loneliness, and moments where faith felt stretched thin. In this heartfelt episode, Stacey shares what it looked like to lean on God when she couldn’t walk, couldn’t work, couldn’t be active, and had to rethink identity, purpose, and strength. We talk about the emotional and spiritual battle that comes with physical pain, and how God uses weakness to reveal His strength. From morning routines and prayer habits, to mindset shifts, Scripture promises, and practical healing tools — Stacey walks us through how grace became more than a concept. It became her lifeline.

Welcome back to O.P.O.P : Operation Protect Our Peace! Today kicks off our 3-part Grace Series, and we’re starting right at the foundation — What Is Grace & Why It Matters.

Ep 19: From Indifference to Grace

In this heartfelt continuation of O.P.O.P : Operation Protect Our Peace, the condemnation theme, Stacey opens up about a defining moment in her life—when the weight of divorce, disappointment, and shame crashed down all at once. She shares how condemnation crept in quietly: * “I’m alone.” * “I have nothing.” * “I’m a disappointment.” * “My family deserved better.” * “I broke my promise.” These were the lies the enemy tried to sow. But in that lowest moment, God surrounded Stacey with the right people—her mom and aunt—who cried with her, prayed with her, declared truth over her, and refused to let her drown in despair. Throughout the episode, Stacey and Sarah unpack: * How condemnation attacks identity * Why strong people often suffer silently * The difference between mind babble and God’s voice * How the right circle can pull you out of the pit * The “3 P’s” that moved Stacey from indifference to hope:Process • People • Promises * The scriptures that revived her strength * Why no one is exempt from struggle—even positive, resilient people * How anchoring your faith in good seasons prepares you for the hard ones This episode is a warm, hope-filled guide for anyone walking through heartbreak, disappointment, or internal battles that no one else can see. ✨ Like, subscribe, and share this episode to bring encouragement to someone going through their own valley.

Ep 18: Condemned but Called

In this powerful and vulnerable episode of O.P.O.P. : Operation Protect Our Peace, Sarah opens up about three major areas of her life where condemnation tried to take her out—but where God stepped in with conviction, healing, and purpose. Through her stories of divorce, sexual impurity, and childhood molestation, she reveals the subtle, suffocating nature of condemnation—and the freedom that comes when God lifts shame and replaces it with truth. Sarah shares how: * The enemy used her past to whisper lies like “You’re not worthy to help others” * God used Pastor Inez’s testimony to break shame off her * Deep regret from sexual impurity was met by God’s grace and supernatural intervention * The shame from childhood trauma was replaced by clarity, wisdom, and the ability to help protect others * Healing empowered her to step into ministry and encourage women who feel “too messy” for God to use Stacey responds with compassion and powerful reminders that God shows up for anyone willing to let Him in.

Ep 17: Shame That Crushes vs. Grace That Transforms (Part 1)

Shame has a voice — and most of the time, it doesn’t sound like God.
