Outside of Sunday

In this episode of Outside of Sunday, Chantelle shares a deeply personal testimony all about faith, love, and how things don’t always turn out the way we hope.
Chantelle grew up in New Zealand, came to know and love Jesus from a young age, and genuinely wanted to honour Him with her life. When she started a relationship with someone who didn’t know Christ, it was complicated - but over time, things seemed to change. He was showing interest in faith, coming along to church, pursued Bible school and promised to love Chantelle as Christ loves the Church - it looked like he was pursuing God just like she was.
So she said yes.
But on their honeymoon… something didn’t feel right.
This is an honest account of Christian dating and marriage, navigating hope and discernment, and the reality that only God truly knows the heart.

This episode is an invitation to examine the heart, embrace truth even when it confronts us, and continue pursuing Jesus with sincerity grounded in truth - not just good intentions.

In this final episode of the Whispers of Grace takeover on Outside of Sunday, Julie leans into a confronting but necessary conversation around mistakes—and the way we approach God.

Looking at both Old and New Testament accounts, this episode gently but honestly exposes the danger of coming to God on our own terms. From Cain to Nadab and Abihu, Uzzah, and Ananias and Sapphira, we’re reminded that sincerity alone isn’t what God asks for - and that not every offering is accepted.

As these stories unfold, a deeper truth begins to surface: God’s goodness is constant, and He does not conform to us. In a culture that often elevates intention over obedience, this episode invites you to pause and consider what it really means to walk with God - not just appear faithful.

With reflections from the Sermon on the Mount and scriptures like Micah 6:8 and Proverbs 3:5–6, Julie brings us face to face with the sobering reality of self-deception, the holiness of God, and the quiet call back to alignment with Him.

This episode isn’t about striving or performing—it’s about surrender. Not about getting it “right” in our own strength, but about trusting, obeying, and walking closely with the Lord.

A grounding and thought-provoking close to the Whispers of Grace series.

In this third takeover episode of Outside of Sunday, Julie Colbeth from Whispers of Grace continues her powerful teaching series - this time turning to the heart of ministry.
Drawing from the Old Testament priesthood and the ordination process in Exodus, Julie unpacks how ministry with God has always been rooted in something deeper than what we do - it flows from grace, and connection with God.
From the clothing of the priests to the anointing oil and sacrificial offerings, this episode beautifully reveals how these practices point forward to Jesus - and what it means for us now to be clothed in Christ and anointed by the Holy Spirit.
Julie reminds us that ministry isn’t sustained by striving or performance, but by surrender and fellowship with God. It’s not about building something for Him in our own strength - it’s about abiding in Him.
