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 explore intricate issues of forgiveness, belonging, and empowerment as faithful expressions of God’s generous grace. Living the grace life. Grace for you. Grace for them.
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!

Getting to Gratitude When It’s Hard with Jennifer Sakata | Ep. 99
What do you do when gratitude doesn’t come naturally, or when you simply don’t feel like being thankful?
When the holidays arrive with chaos, disrupted routines, and a turkey that’s running behind schedule, getting to gratitude can feel like a challenge. But it isn’t impossible.
Healing from Trauma: From Survival to Wholeness | Lisa Saruga
Where is God when life around you is dark—when trauma has turned your life inside out? Healing from trauma is possible, even when pain runs deep and hope feels out of reach.
But moving from survival to wholeness often means facing what has been buried and inviting God into the places that hurt most.
God’s Presence in Grief: Finding Comfort with Lisa Appelo | Ep. 97
Where is God’s welcome in weakness and wreckage? What happens when God’s mercy doesn’t arrive the way you want it? Where is God’s presence in grief?
Lisa Appelo went to bed happily married and woke up a widow and single mom to her seven children, ages 4-19. In the wake of tremendous grief, she discovered that many of us are grief-illiterate, with little understanding of how to begin putting the pieces of a shattered life together again.

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!
