Recognize and Embody

Welcome.

Realize Grace is a spiritual formation ministry devoted to helping people notice the quiet, steady work of God in their everyday lives—and to become vessels of God’s love in the world.

Through guided studies, sermons, and reflections, Realize Grace invites you to slow down, pay attention, and recognize the sacred already unfolding within and around you.

This is not just about learning about grace. It's about living it—seeing it, receiving it, and becoming it for the sake of the world.

Hi, I’m Estee.

I created Realize Grace to help others see and live out God’s love. I’m an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church and have served as a local church pastor for over 18 years. Creating small group resources and offering guest preaching is a new chapter for me—a way of continuing to do what I love most: walking with people as they grow in faith, deepen their spiritual lives, and discover how grace is already at work within them.

Realize Grace is rooted in my belief that spiritual formation doesn’t require grand gestures—just a willingness to pay attention, reflect honestly, and stay open to the Spirit’s quiet invitation. Whether you’re leading a small group, planning a retreat, or simply seeking spiritual renewal, I hope these resources meet you with clarity, depth, and a sense of peace.

My hope

My hope is that Realize Grace will be a meaningful resource for adult small groups—offering curriculum that stirs the imagination, deepens faith, and invites thoughtful conversation. I also hope to serve local churches through guest preaching, giving pastors space for sabbath while continuing to nourish their congregations with a word of encouragement.
