    Grace isn’t a one-time drop—it’s a daily reload. In this lively, practical, and hope-filled conversation, Danny (magician and pastor) and Kimberly (associate marriage & family therapist) explore how to give and receive fresh grace every day. They unpack why forgiveness is both a process and a choice, bust the “forgive and forget” myth, and share real-life marriage examples—complete with laughter, honesty, and a few “hypothetical” Amazon jokes.

    Listeners will learn:

    • How to start each morning by receiving God’s new mercies (Lamentations 3:22-23)
    • Ways to speak daily grace over your spouse with morning check-ins, midday pauses, and evening resets
    • Practical steps for working through conflict, communicating needs, and rebuilding trust when walls of resentment form

    Whether you’re navigating old wounds or everyday annoyances, this episode offers a grace-filled blueprint for stronger, freer relationships.

  • S5:E5—Transforming Conflict into Connection
    2025/09/25

    Danny Ray (magician & pastor) and Kimberly (AMFT) unpack what real, costly grace looks like in marriage — and why “cheap grace” (Bonhoeffer’s warning) often masquerades as forgiveness while bitterness quietly grows. Drawing on 29 years of marriage (and yes — a very messy paint story), they show how surprising, intentional acts of grace (“grace grenades”) can defuse conflict, invite repentance, and actually transform a relationship — but only when grace costs us something.

    In this episode you’ll hear:

    • The difference between cheap grace and real grace (Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s insight).
    • Why Biblical grace is a gift we’ve received and a costly pattern we’re called to imitate (Ephesians 2:8–9, Romans 5:8).
    • Practical ways to drop a grace grenade in everyday moments — from traffic tension to household projects.
    • How to extend grace without ignoring harmful patterns: forgiveness that transforms instead of sweeps things under the rug.
    • First steps to rebuild trust: why consistency matters and what it looks like in real life.

    This is a no-fluff, real-life episode made for couples who want action, not just platitudes. If you’re tired of repeating the same fights and want practical ways to make grace the normal response in your home, press play.

    In this episode of We Do Whatever It Takes, Danny and Kimberly unpack what it means to practice forgiveness right in the middle of conflict.

    Last week we explored how Grace Grenades can disarm fights before they explode. This week, we’re looking at what happens when the hurt runs deeper—and how forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. Using Colossians 3:13 and the Cycle of Anger model, Danny and Kimberly walk through practical ways to pause, disrupt negative thoughts, and choose grace instead of reaction.

    You’ll hear real-life examples, a counseling perspective, and a challenge to build your own “anger pause” practice so you can turn moments of tension into moments of connection.

    Grace begins when you choose to interrupt the cycle—not after you explode.

    In this episode of We Do Whatever It Takes, Danny Ray and Kimberly dive into the power of Grace Grenades—intentional acts of love and forgiveness that defuse conflict and reset the atmosphere in your marriage.

    Magic Connection: Just like in magic, tension builds toward an explosion… but grace makes the fight vanish instead.
    Challenge: The next time a fight is brewing, stop and drop grace. Practice responding with words that bring closeness instead of criticism.

    This week, discover how grace disarms conflict and creates intimacy—turning your marriage into a place of peace rather than battle.

    After a season-long pause, Danny and Kimberly return with fresh energy for Season 5 of We Do Whatever It Takes—and they’re bringing something explosive: Grace Grenades. In this kickoff episode, they unpack the idea of grace as an intentional, disruptive, and powerful choice that diffuses resentment and resets the atmosphere in marriage.

    With plenty of laughs (including the “pants don’t shrink” story and Danny’s impromptu hit song), heartfelt honesty about family struggles, and a grounding in Scripture (John 1:16, John 8:11), they show how grace is both abundant and transformative when paired with truth.

    You’ll hear practical ways to stop destructive patterns, stories of real-life slip-ups, and a challenge to surprise your spouse this week with one unexpected act of grace. Because grace doesn’t change anything until you choose to pull the pin and drop it into your marriage.
