When Grace Leads the Way: A Conversation...

THE GROVE - PASSION CITY CHURCH
About this episode

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.
