In this gentle and reflective episode, Karyn invites listeners to rest and relax as she shares journaled thoughts inspired by the beloved Bible verse, “Consider the lilies of the field… they toil not, neither do they spin…” Her musings drift gracefully into the healing world of Dr. Edward Bach, the visionary behind the Bach Flower Remedies.

 

Karyn explores the idea that flowers are more than just beautiful—they hold within them divine intelligence and subtle essences that can support emotional healing and inner balance. Drawing from the philosophy of Dr. Bach, she shares how flowers carry energetic signatures that gently guide individuals back to emotional harmony and peace.

Through this process, clients begin to awaken to their inner strengths and rediscover joy, hope, and purpose.

As she navigated confusion, emotional pain, and uncertainty, Karyn turned her heart wholeheartedly to the Lord, receiving divine messages of instruction that helped her make sense of a difficult and complex relationship.

Through this journey, Karyn learned the power of self-accountability—recognizing her own weaknesses, follies, and faults—and discovered the healing balm of music, which became an essential part of her daily life to keep her heart anchored in the Lord’s will. Having walked the path of marriage, annulment, and divorce, she understands the trials and heartaches that accompany such experiences and the power of prayer to illuminate the way forward.

Episode 114 Envisioning The Lovingkindness of Christ with Music and Meditations by Karyn Lynn Grant

Ep # 114  Envisioning The Lovingkindness of Christ with Music and Mediations by Karyn Lynn Grant, The Joy Coach

Join us for this week's episode as we explore the boundless, forgiving, and irresistible love of the Savior.

Three remarkable women from the New Testament take center stage in this episode, each encountering Christ in moments of deep judgment and despair:

The woman who poured perfume on the Savior's feet, scorned by Simon the Pharisee for being a sinner.

 The woman nearly stoned for her transgressions, condemned by the Sanhedrin.

The woman who suffered from an issue of blood for twelve years, ostracized by her community as unclean.

In each of their stories, we witness how mortal judgment sought to cast them aside—whether from an individual, a council of men, or an unknowing multitude. Yet, Christ saw beyond their circumstances. He knew their hearts. Where others condemned, He forgave. Where others turned away, He drew near.

Visualize the love of Jesus, tender and unwavering, as He offers these women what no one else could; redemption, healing, and acceptance. His mercy extends to all, reminding us that no matter how the world may judge us, His arms remain open.

 

Twelve Reflective Questions to Deepen Your Experience:

1. How does Christ's reaction to these women differ from the way they were judged by others?

2. What does His response teach us about the nature of true forgiveness?

3. Have you ever felt misjudged or cast aside? How can Christ's love help heal those wounds?

4. Which of the three women's experiences resonates most with you, and why?

5. How does the story of the woman anointing Jesus’ feet demonstrate true humility and love?

6. What can we learn from Christ's words, “Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more"?

7. How does faith play a role in the healing of the woman with the issue of blood?

8. What barriers; physical, emotional, or societal, might prevent people today from reaching out to Christ?

9. In what ways can we show Christlike compassion to those who feel rejected or unworthy?

10. How does Christ's ability to see beyond outward appearances or past mistakes inspire you?

11. What steps can you take to more fully accept Christ's love and forgiveness in your own life?

12. How can you extend the same mercy to others that Christ extends to you?

Let this episode be a reminder that Christ's love is for all. His mercy knows no limits. His embrace is always open.
