Grace Isn't Permission Series - Ep 4 - Mercy Finds You...Grace Transforms You

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 can truly change a heart. This episode is a call to move from survival to surrender, from being comforted in your pain to being called into your purpose.

🎙️ In this episode:

• What mercy really is—and how it differs from grace

• How grace empowers obedience, not just forgiveness

• The danger of staying stuck at the mercy level

• Why grace is the fuel for transformation and purpose
