What if the life you loved… the family you built… and the future you imagined suddenly came crashing down all around you?

Whether you’re a mother, a father, someone grieving, someone struggling, or simply someone trying to hold onto faith in a difficult season of life… this episode may be exactly what your heart needs today.

In this deeply emotional and unforgettable conversation, Kevin sits down with Amber Emily Smith for one of the most powerful episodes ever shared on Grit, Grace, & Inspiration.

Originally released in October 2025, this episode quickly became a listener...

What would you do if you had 20 seconds to realize you were dying… and couldn’t do anything to stop it?

In this episode, you’ll step into a true story where those 20 seconds changed everything—and what came after is even more powerful.

There are moments in life that don’t just disrupt your plans—they rewrite your entire identity. And when that happens, most people aren’t struggling with motivation… they’re struggling with how to keep going when everything familiar is gone. This episode speaks directly to that moment—the one where life no longer looks...

Have you ever found yourself sitting in your car, staring straight ahead, thinking…

“This is not where I thought my life would be.”

Maybe something ended.

Maybe something changed.

Or maybe life just didn’t go the way you planned.

And now you’re caught in this tension—

Trying to move forward… while still holding on to what you’ve lost.

Here’s the truth no one really tells you:

You don’t have to “get over it” to start moving forward.

In today’s episode, yo...

Have you ever looked at your life and thought… “This isn’t what I planned.” Not even close. Maybe something changed. Maybe something ended. Maybe life just didn’t turn out the way you thought it would. And now you’re left trying to figure out… How do I move forward from here?

Why It’s So Hard When Life Isn’t What You Imagined

Here’s the truth most people don’t talk about: It’s not just what happened that’s hard… it’s letting go of the life you thought you were going to live. In this episode...

Have you ever felt like life’s pain is too heavy to bear? That in your darkest moments, as unanswered prayers echo in the night, you’re left wondering, “If God is real, why would He let bad things happen?" Today, join me on a deeply personal journey through sorrow, struggle, and faith as I share stories from my own life that reveal hope amidst heartbreak.

At some point, life will hit you in a way you didn’t see coming—loss, responsibility, pain, or a moment that forces you to ask, “Can I do this?” This episode speaks directly to that moment… and what it actually takes to move forward when everything in you wants to stop.

In this deeply emotional and powerful conversation, you’ll hear the journey of Colin Potts, a man who faced more than most people could ever imagine—losing his brother to...

What would you do differently today if you truly understood that life isn’t measured in time—but in the love you give and the impact you leave behind?

In this deeply moving episode, Kevin shares the story of a 12-year-old girl named Jenna—whose life, loss, and legacy became an unexpected wake-up call. After attending her memorial service, he was left wrestling with a powerful question:

Your brain learned how to survive the storm, but it hasn't learned how to survive the calm. Today, we begin the process to change that!

After surviving something difficult—a diagnosis, a divorce, job loss, or another life-altering challenge—you’d expect life to finally feel normal again. But for many people, the fear doesn’t leave when the crisis ends. Instead, the mind keeps waiting for the next disaster… the next piece of bad news… the other shoe to drop.

In this 437th episode of Grit, Grace, & Inspiration, Kevin Lowe shares why this happens and how to r...

Have you ever sat in your car, knowing you need to walk into something difficult—but feeling like you just can’t do it?

That moment when your hand is on the steering wheel, the engine is off, and everything inside you is telling you to walk away… but you know you can’t. You know you have to face what’s waiting on the other side of that door.

We all experience moments where life feels overwhelming—whether it’s a tough conversation, a stressful day at work, difficult medical news, a relationship challenge, or a decision...

Sometimes life doesn’t ask for your permission before it changes direction. One day you’re running full speed toward the life you think you want… and the next, you’re standing still, asking questions you never planned to face.

This episode isn’t just about surviving. It’s about discovering that sometimes the interruption you never wanted becomes the redirection you desperately needed.

If you’ve ever walked through pain and wondered what it could possibly mean… this episode might help you see that even the hardest chapters can grow something good.

The Story of Ste...

What if the advice to “be realistic” is the very thing holding your life back?

In this transformative episode, Kevin Lowe explores the moment everything changes — the day you stop shrinking your dreams and start living with reckless optimism.

If you’ve ever lowered your expectations to avoid disappointment or convinced yourself that it’s too late to chase something bigger, this conversation speaks directly to you.

Why Must You Listen?

What if the reason you’re unhappy… is because you’re trying so hard to be happy?

Most of us wake up wanting to “feel happy,” yet research shows that chasing happiness directly can actually make us more frustrated and discouraged.

So, if you’ve ever felt like joy keeps slipping through your fingers, this #FanFav episode reveals a powerful shift in perspective—one that replaces pressure with simple, daily actions that actually work.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
