Mereas of Grace Podcast

Welcome to Mereas of Grace with Carmen Schroeder. This episode explains Shavuot (the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost), celebrated 50 days after Passover, and invites listeners into the Omer—49 days of intentional preparation—to receive God's instruction (Torah) and the life-giving breath of the Ruach (Holy Spirit).

Learn the biblical link between Sinai and Zion, why the 50 days shape and ready the vessel for spiritual empowerment, and practical prompts to study Scripture, be filled with the Spirit, and step into the mission God redeemed you to fulfill.

Host Carmen Schroeder explores "vision correction" through the Divine Life Template on Day 6 of Creation and Omer Day 43, showing how sin is a distortion of sight and how the Holy Spirit restores the image of God in individuals and relationships.

As Shavuot approaches, the episode calls listeners to prepare their sight—turn from Egypt’s lens, receive renewed vision, and let inner transformation become visible as the kingdom of heaven on earth.

In this episode Carmen Schroeder explores the biblical month of Adar, showing how God first sanctified time and gave us rhythms—Shabbat, new moons, and appointed seasons—to guard against spiritual drift.

She explains the master timekeepers placed on day four of creation, offers practical takeaways for reclaiming daily rhythms, and invites listeners to align their schedules with God’s clock so hidden joy and renewal can be revealed.

Host Carmen Schroeder introduces the Mussar Life Seven Days of Creation Divine Life Template: a spiritual framework that uses each day of creation to cultivate order, purpose, and blessing in personal, professional, and spiritual life.

The episode outlines four tailored paths (Spark, Blueprint, Vessel, Luminary) and four target audiences (executives, marriages, families, young adults), and invites listeners to book a free soul diagnostic to discover the best path for their season.

Mereas of Grace Host Carmen Schroeder explores Shabbat on this 14th day of Tevet (Shabbat, Jan 3, 2026), teaching that Yeshua redeemed us from the curse of disobedience—not from God’s Torah—and that the New Covenant relocates God’s instruction from stone to heart through the Ruach.

Drawing on Genesis, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Galatians, she explains menuchah (rest) and bitachon (trust) as active spiritual practices: ceasing to strive, entering divine provision, and living the Sabbath-rest embodied in Messiah.

This short teaching invites listeners to reclaim restful trust in the midst of winter trials and to walk in the blessing and renewal of 5786.

In this episode, we dive into the profound power of speech, exploring how words shape our realities and destinies. Drawing from ancient Hebrew scriptures and the wisdom of Rabbi Abraham Heschel, we learn that words are not mere tools of communication—they are creative forces capable of constructing vibrant realities or causing devastating destruction.

We examine the biblical phrase "Yehi Ohr"—"let there be light"—to understand the Genesis power of intentional, declarative language in transforming chaos into order. Proverbs 18:21 further emphasizes that life and death lie in the power of the tongue, guiding listeners to realize the immense impact of their verbal expressions.
