Wild Grace
Hosted by Amber Lea Gray · EN
Wild Grace is a podcast for the spiritual journey -- honest, contemplative, creative, and real.
Hosted by Rev. Dr. Amber Lea Gray, this podcast offers sermons, talks, conversations, meditations, and practical resources for exploring life and faith with openness, courage, and curiosity.
Grace is not tidy. It is raw, real, mysterious, untamed, and often surprising. It comforts us and confronts us. It holds our hand, pushes us toward freedom, and meets us in the places we least expect. Wild Grace is a space for questions, wonder, reflection, and transformation. It is for reconnecting with your body, your story, and the presence of God.
Come on. Let's wander together in fields of wild grace.
