Grace & Grit Podcast

No Acting, Just Actions

It’s been a while, but this episode is right on time. In this heartfelt and transparent conversation, I share how I’ve been “camped out” in the book of James while seeking God’s direction for this next chapter of my life as I approach a monumental new season. Through personal reflection and powerful scriptures, we explore the difference between acting like we have faith and truly living it out through action. This episode dives into the truth that faith requires movement. We unpack key passages from the book of James.

Prey vs Pray

What do you do when you’re fighting and it feels like the enemy is winning? In this episode of Grace & Grit, Naya breaks down the difference between being prey and choosing to pray. Through 1 Peter 5:8 and Psalm 18:6, we uncover the enemy’s strategy of intimidation, distraction, and isolation—and the power of vigilance, covering, and crying out to God. The roar may test you, but prayer positions you. Stay alert. Stay covered. Choose prayer over prey.

Committed To The Fight

In this powerful episode of Grace & Grit, Naya dives into what it truly means to be Committed to the Fight. If you’ve been feeling mentally exhausted, spiritually fatigued, or tempted to give up, this message is for you. We unpack why many believers are worn down, how we’ve been fighting the wrong way, and what Scripture teaches about standing still, fighting spiritually, and staying anchored in truth. Through Exodus 14, Deuteronomy 20, and Ephesians 6, you’ll be reminded that the battle is already won, but commitment determines how you walk it out. It’s time to guard your mind, protect your heart, sharpen your sword, and fight right. Strength for the struggle. Grace for the journey.

The Waiting Room

Waiting seasons can feel heavy, confusing, and exhausting, especially when it seems like God has gone silent. In this episode, The Waiting Room, we talk honestly about what it means to wait on God without losing your faith, your posture, or your purpose. Using scriptures like Isaiah 40:31, James 1:4, Habakkuk 2:3, and Ecclesiastes 3:1, we unpack why waiting is not punishment, but divine placement. Just like a doctor’s waiting room, God is doing work behind the scenes, preparing the room, reviewing your progress, and getting you ready for what’s next. This episode is for the believer who’s tired, faithful, and still trusting. The one who’s been postured and positioned but is wondering, “What am I supposed to be doing while I wait?” We talk about patience, preparation, obedience, expectancy, and how God develops us before He releases the promise. If you’re in a waiting season, this episode is for you. Be encouraged, God is not delaying you, He’s developing you.

Positioned & Postured

In this episode of Grace & Grit, I get real about what it truly means to be postured and positioned for the blessings we keep asking God for. Through personal reflection, Holy Spirit conviction, and scripture, including Psalm 84:11, 1 Samuel 16:7, and Deuteronomy 28:1–2—we unpack why God isn’t withholding, but often preparing. This episode challenges you to examine your heart, your obedience, and your readiness, not just to receive blessings, but to maintain them. We talk about waiting well, choosing purpose over preference, spiritual and natural maturity, and why obedience is the key that causes blessings to overtake you. If you’ve ever felt delayed, frustrated, or questioned God’s timing, this word is for you. Grab your journal, open your heart, and let’s grow together—because though it tarry, it’s always worth the wait. 💛
