Living the Grace Life Podcast
with Jennifer Sakata
Welcome to the corner of real grace for your real life. Join Jennifer Sakata and special guests to navigate intricate issues of forgiveness, belonging, and empowerment as faithful expressions of God’s generous grace.
But what is God’s grace? What is it not?
What does grace look and sound like amid a busy and full-plated life? Through stories, authentic conversations, and biblical teaching, Jennifer helps bridge the gap between what we think about grace and how we live through it. Each episode helps shift our understanding of grace from a Sunday morning concept to an everyday, lived experience.
God’s grace is that forward movement that restores connection and rebuilds relationships.
Living the Grace Life is a solo and interview podcast committed to transformation, helping you replace the overwhelm of doing more and living less with a slower pace that nurtures God’s real grace in your real life.
Grace for you. Grace for them.
Listen in now and let’s grace this life!

Ep. 26 Postpartum Depression & Grace | Amanda Scarborough
Did you know that postpartum depression affects more than 1 in 7 women? Yet, so many suffer in silence, trapped by overwhelming emotions and conflicting thoughts.
In this week’s episode of Living the Grace Life, Amanda Scarborough shares her journey through the darkest of nights, when she contemplated ending both her life and her newborn son’s.
Ep. 25 Divine Detour and Deepened Faith | Lori Ann Wood
Lori Ann Wood, multi-award-winning author of Divine Detour: The Path You’d Never Choose Can Lead to the Faith You’ve Always Wanted, shares her story of deepened faith after a sudden and life-altering diagnosis.
Despite her previously healthy life, Lori Ann was diagnosed with heart failure due to an enlarged heart. (Strange irony.) She was released from the hospital with an external defibrillator and a hospice binder, along with a crisis that became the catalyst for deepened faith.

Joy: In & Out of Season
with Jennifer Sakata
In Joy: In & Out of Season, host Jennifer Sakata reminds us that joy is not for the privileged few. We follow four joy-fueled friends of the Bible and discover that joy is the result of practiced choices–regardless of circumstance or season.
Like all the fruits of God’s Spirit, joy grows as we draw near to God—especially in the mix of life’s ‘hard.’
Listen in and begin living a kinder, gentler, more grace-filled life by choosing joy today!
