The Grove Podcast

What does it look like to raise children with faith, grace, and courage in a world full of fear and comparison?In this heartfelt conversation, Shelley Giglio sits down with DeAnza Duron—pastor, mother of seven, and grandmother to twenty-one—to talk about the power of grace in motherhood, the gift of trust in God’s plan, and the daily choice to live in peace instead of fear. Together, they discuss the foundational truths of parenting—keeping a clean heart, anchoring your home in God’s Word, and raising children to love and serve others. They also tackle fear, trust, and joy—reminding every woman listening that peace is possible, joy is worth fighting for, and choosing life in Jesus changes everything.With warmth, humor, and deep faith, DeAnza shares stories of raising her kids (including her daughter and fellow Grove girl, DawnCheré Wilkerson), practical wisdom for moms in every season, and the reminder that God fills in every gap we miss. DeAnza’s stories will remind you that you don’t have to get everything right—because God fills in the gaps. From French toast breakfasts and scripture at the table to singing “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” at bedtime, she shares how simple, faithful rhythms shape generations.Whether you’re a mother or simply someone learning to trust God with what you can’t control, this episode offers encouragement to fight for joy, walk in courage, and believe that grace is always enough. The Grove is an extension of all God is doing at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

What does it really mean to flourish based on scripture? In this episode of The Grove Podcast, we hear from Shelley Giglio, Daniele Flickinger, and Susan Robinson for a heartfelt conversation about the beauty God brings when we allow Him to work in every part of our lives.Through honest reflection and wisdom, they share how God transforms even the most barren seasons into places of growth and grace. This conversation invites you to release what you’ve been holding onto, make space for God’s work in your heart, and remember that flourishing doesn’t always look like flowering – like we read in Psalm 92, God compares us to palm trees and reminds us that flourishing can look more like strength than beauty.The Grove is an extension of all God is doing at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

In this episode, we’re joined by the wise and wonderful Lisa Harper — author, Bible teacher, and one of the most joy-filled voices in the Church today. With her trademark humor and heartfelt honesty, Lisa shares a powerful conversation with Shelley Giglio about theology, friendship, and the beauty of living in a deep community connection. Lisa opens up about her early struggles with inadequacy and how, for a time, theology became a mask she wore rather than a lens through which she could truly see Jesus. But as God gently reshaped her heart, Lisa began to understand that real theology is deeply relational, all about knowing Christ and letting that knowledge transform our lives. In this conversation, Lisa lets us into how that revelation has impacted her view on community, and challenges us to do the same. She also gives us a glimpse into what God is doing through her Kerygma Conference and her new book, “A Jesus Shaped Life.” In true Lisa Harper fashion, this episode is filled with both deep belly laughs and powerful theological truths, serving as a reminder to us that theology isn’t just for classrooms or scholars, but for every woman longing to know Jesus and walk with Him more closely.The Grove is an extension of all God is doing here at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia, to serve and care for women everywhere.
