In Episode 6 of the Grace Isn’t Permission series, we take a deep dive into one of culture's most misunderstood phrases: "Only God Can Judge Me."

Rooted in rebellion but cloaked in spiritual language, this saying has become a shield against conviction and a defense mechanism against accountability. But what does the Bible actually mean when it talks about judgment?

Join me as we:

• Examine the difference between righteous and unrigh...

We live in a time where comfort is equated with compassion and silence is confused with grace. But the Bible makes one thing clear: real love corrects. Real grace doesn’t just comfort us in sin—it calls us out of it.

In this bold episode of Soul Food, Pastor Judy Lamborn dives deep into the difference between counterfeit comfort and biblical correction. Grace without truth isn’t grace. And love without confrontation isn’t love. It’s...

Mercy meets you where you are—but grace refuses to leave you there.

In this episode of the Soul Food Podcast, Pastor Judy Lamborn breaks down the difference between God’s mercy and His grace. Mercy finds us in our brokenness. It shields us from the judgment we deserve. But grace? Grace doesn’t just forgive—it transforms. It empowers. It calls us to rise.

In a world that preaches self-help and quick fixes, the truth is that only Jesus...

Grace isn’t permission. It’s power to rise — and the call to live free.

In this episode of the Grace Isn’t Permission series, Judy Lamborn exposes one of the most dangerous distortions in the church today: the trafficking of God’s grace.

When grace is separated from truth, it becomes counterfeit — sold for comfort instead of calling us to freedom. Real grace never leaves us stuck; it transforms us.
