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!

In this episode of Living the Grace Life, Jennifer Sakata reflects on Psalm 118:24, “This is the day that the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” She explores the richness of gratitude and prayer by emphasizing different words in the verse. Listeners are guided through thoughtful questions, prayer, and reflection to slow down, rejoice, and embrace the gift of each day with intentionality and 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!
