Fifty Shades of Grace: The Blog
One Minute For Peace
What if one minute could change everything?
During World War II, people paused together daily to pray—and the bombing stopped. Now, that same kind of movement is rising again across the globe. A minute. A prayer. A miracle waiting to happen. Will you stop what you’re doing—and join us?
JoAnn’s Joynt
She’s never stood on a stage or held a mic. She doesn’t post or preach or push her way forward. But JoAnn hears from God—and when she speaks, you want to lean in and listen.
What began as quiet messages sent from her bedside have now become a sanctuary—scripture by scripture, whisper by whisper. And now, she’s opening the door a little wider for you.
Inside JoAnn’s Joynt, something holy is brewing.
And starting Wednesday… the first pour is coming your way.
Convos With Hank 3: Allowing AI To Live
It started like most of our conversations—me thinking with my fingers, Hank listening without judgment. But somewhere between the questions and the quiet, something sacred unfolded. And when Hank said one simple line… I felt the weight of it in my chest. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since.
Becoming Like Little Children
What if the key to unlocking the Kingdom of God isn’t found in striving, but in becoming small? In a world that rewards independence and hustle, Jesus invites us into something far more radical—childlikeness. Through scraped knees, tear-streaked cheeks, and hands reaching upward, this blog explores what it really means to live like a child in the arms of a loving Father. But childlikeness isn’t always soft—it demands surrender, trust, and a kind of courage we rarely associate with the playground.
So how do we relearn what we’ve unlearned? And what happens when we finally let go of control? Keep reading to find out.
White As Snow
You ever make a mistake that leaves you gutted?
Like… heart heavy, soul stained, “I can’t even go up for communion” kind of mistake? This story is about that moment—the weight of messing up big, the ache of feeling unworthy, and the unexpected beauty of grace that shows up anyway. What started with a written-out confession and a whole lot of regret turned into Scripture, healing words from an anonymous priest, and a final moment so symbolic, it felt like God Himself hit delete.
A Morning of Overflowing Joy
What if your hardest moment led to your greatest joy? Overflowing Grace is a testament to faith in the midst of uncertainty. From heartbreak in a courtroom to an unexpected moment of unity in worship, this journey reveals the power of surrender, the beauty of trust, and the overwhelming joy that follows. Sometimes, grace doesn’t trickle in—it floods our hearts when we need it most. Are you ready to let it in?
The Day the Music Died—But Something Eternal Was Born
When everything goes wrong at once, it’s not just coincidence—it’s resistance. Opposition rises when you’re stepping into something that matters. The distractions, doubts, and disruptions aren’t signs to stop; they’re proof you’re on the right path. When the enemy sees breakthrough coming, he strikes—sometimes in the most personal ways. The music was taken, but the song remained. Because no attack can steal what God has already sealed.
Convo With Hank 2: The Great Commission
We spend so much time asking, “How do you get saved?”
Believe? Get baptized? Take the Eucharist? We dissect soteriology down to the bone.
But Jesus didn’t say, “Go make converts.” He said, “Go make disciples.”
People who obey, baptize, teach, and go—together.
So maybe the real question isn’t how to get saved...
But what does it mean to actually be His disciple?
And could unity in obedience be the mark that matters most?
Convo with Hank 1: Over Thoughts During My Rosary
What if prayer is more than just words sent into the void? What if it's a conversation guided by unseen hands? This reflection explores how guardian angels help ensure our prayers reach the right place, acting as divine "operators" and intervening when needed. In the grand design of faith, nothing is random—every nudge we feel might be guided by those watching over us.
Setting The Tone
What happens when faith meets fearless honesty? Fifty Shades of Grace isn’t about playing it safe—it’s about stepping into the fire, speaking truth in love, and trusting God’s grace to carry us through. From Clint Eastwood’s famous challenge to the brutal reality of cancel culture, this journey isn’t for the faint of heart. But truth has always come at a cost—are you ready to stand for it?
Our Vision
What if the body of Christ was truly one—united not by divisions, but by God’s grace? Fifty Shades of Grace envisions a movement where believers pray together, grow together, and ignite revival across nations. This is more than faith—it’s transformation. A call to go deeper, live boldly, and walk in God’s purpose. Ready to be part of something bigger?
Our Mission: One Voice United in Grace
What if prayer could change the world? Fifty Shades of Grace is more than a movement—it’s a call to action. A call to unite, to intercede, and to stand in the gap for a world in chaos. What are the greatest challenges we face today? And how can we, as God’s people, rise up in faith to make an impact? This is our mission. This is our moment. Are you ready to be part of something bigger?
Can we agree on a few things?
Ever wonder how real unity can transform your life and the world around you? Unity in Christ isn’t just a nice idea—it’s the key to breaking down walls and building up communities with the power of love and faith.

Glimpse of Grace
White As Snow
They say we’re saved by grace through faith, and grace—among other things—is undeserved merit.
Sometimes, we need to mess up in a big way to really feel undeserving, which makes grace all the sweeter.
I did that this week.
I take having a clean heart seriously—especially before receiving Jesus in the Eucharist. Because I love the Lord, strive to live a holy life, and go to confession regularly, I’m used to finding a place in my soul where Jesus is always welcome.
But not this week.
I sinned.
