☕ Zoe’s Journey: Morning Brew and Grace
🌟 Grace Tastes Like Fresh Starts (and Espresso)
🚀 Welcome to the next stop on this 21-week journey of transformation!
On Monday, Jake showed us that grace can whisper in quiet moments. But today? Grace doesn’t whisper—it wakes you up.
It’s bold. It’s real. And it tastes like a fresh start… and a double shot of espresso.
☕ Meet Zoe.
Barista. Writer. Reformed Rebel.
A woman who ran from faith, only to be wrecked by God’s love in the best possible way.
Passionate, bold, sometimes impulsive, but 100% real about her faith journey.
She wears her story on her sleeve—literally. Galatians 2:20 is tattooed on her arm, a permanent reminder that the old Zoe is gone, and a new Zoe is walking in grace.
Now, she’s learning that grace isn’t just a one-time event—it’s a daily dose of new mercies.
Sitting in a coffee shop, journal open, Bible nearby, espresso steaming, she reflects…
💭 Zoe’s Thought: "Sometimes, grace tastes like a fresh start… and a double shot of espresso."
☕ Issue 2: “Morning Brew and Grace” – Zoe’s Story
Faith, Doubt, and a Barista with a Story to Tell
Zoe’s life hasn’t been picture-perfect.
She grew up in church but walked away as a teen.
She chased freedom but found emptiness.
She hit rock bottom… and grace found her there.
Now, she’s back—not as the perfect Christian, but as someone who knows what it means to be rescued by God’s love.
💡 She’s here for the misfits, the doubters, the ones who think they’ve messed up too much for God to take them back.
Her story is proof: If you’re still breathing, God’s not done with you.
📖 Bible Study: A Love That Never Lets Go
Zoe isn’t about fake faith. She’s been there, done that, and burned the T-shirt.
What she’s learning? God is relentless. His love doesn’t quit.
1️⃣ A Love That Chases Us Down
📖 Luke 15:4-7 – "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?"
👀 Reflection:
Have you ever felt like you’ve drifted too far from God?
What if He’s already running toward you, ready to bring you home?
💭 Zoe’s Thought: "I spent years running. Turns out, I was never outrunning God—I was running right into His grace."
2️⃣ A Fresh Start, Every Day
📖 Lamentations 3:22-23 – “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail. They are new every morning.”
☕ Just like a fresh cup of coffee, God’s mercy refills us daily.
👀 Reflection:
What’s one thing from your past you need to stop carrying into today?
How would your life change if you truly embraced God’s daily mercies?
💭 Zoe’s Thought: "If God can give me new mercies every morning, I can stop living like yesterday’s mistakes define me."
3️⃣ Real Faith Isn’t About Perfection
📖 Galatians 2:20 – “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.”
Zoe inked this truth onto her skin as a reminder—she’s not defined by her past.
She’s living proof of grace.
👀 Reflection:
Do you feel pressure to “have it all together” before coming to God?
What if faith isn’t about being perfect, but being willing?
💭 Zoe’s Thought: "I used to think faith meant being perfect. Now I know it means letting Jesus rewrite my story."
4️⃣ Sharing the Story That Changed Her Life
📖 Psalm 107:2 – "Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—those He redeemed from the hand of the enemy."
Zoe isn’t just keeping her transformation to herself.
She turns Bible stories into slam poetry.
She shares her faith in ways that hit deep.
She knows that someone, somewhere, needs to hear that grace is real.
👀 Reflection:
Who in your life needs to hear about the grace you’ve experienced?
What’s stopping you from sharing your testimony?
💭 Zoe’s Thought: "My life’s playlist got a heavenly remix, and the beat’s never been better. Why wouldn’t I tell people about it?"

Eph 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast
She is so relatable thank you
