A Biblical Way to Care for Yourself Without Feeling Selfish or Self-Centered
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you desperately needed to take care of yourself, but the overwhelming feelings of guilt and shame held you back? This struggle is real, and many of us have experienced it. But why do we find it so hard to prioritize our well-being?
A healthy relationship with ourselves stems from a healthy relationship with God. What we believe about God we will believe about ourselves and then live as though we believe it.
In this episode, I discuss how misunderstanding scripture has led us to deny our emotions, feelings, desires, and wants - especially with our bodies. I also give you a few questions to process throughout the week to help reframe your thinking around the meaning and value of true self-care.
Rooting for you,
Jessica

How to Feel Seen When It Feels Like You Are Hidden (And No One Understands You)
Let me start by honoring the part of you that's fighting to be seen. God sees you and He knows. Not only does God know, but I also know this fight.
I pray that, however hidden you feel, you find comfort in knowing that other women are trying to “get loud” so they can be heard, too. In Hebrews, scripture reminds us that we are not hidden from God. He sees and knows us on an intimate level. But even when the world doesn’t see us, will the Father's seeing us be enough for us? Do we believe He truly sees us and wants to comfort us? And do we allow Him to comfort us?
In this episode, I talk through practical steps to train yourself for Godliness, like acknowledging your feelings, reflecting on scripture, and practicing gratitude. You are deeply seen and known by God. Take comfort in knowing that you are never alone, for God's gaze is always upon you, guiding you with His grace and surrounding you with His unfailing love.
Rooting for you,
Jessica

Haven't You Punished Yourself Enough? Receiving God's Forgiveness and Setting Yourself Free
“I’m just not good enough.” “I should have known better.” “I’m not worthy of forgiveness.” “I always mess things up.” “I’ll never be able to change.”
Behind every one of those phrases, we find a piece of ourselves that feels like it should be punished. So, we impose self-punishment and call it "holy," but punishing ourselves is no way to live.
Let me ask you this - Do you believe you are forgiven? Fully forgiven, especially when you repent? In this episode, I walk through the steps of genuine repentance, redemption, and restoration through Christ.
When we genuinely repent of our sins, God extends His forgiveness to us through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. This forgiveness brings restoration of our relationship with God and freedom from the guilt and condemnation of sin.
Rooting for you,
Jessica

Be the One to Break Generational Sin Off Your Life (You Don't Have to Become a Statistic)
The topic in today's episode has been on my heart for a while because I've been reflecting on what my life might look like had I chosen to continue to make decisions that kept me headed down the same dark road much of my family has traveled. Maybe you can relate.
In this conversation, I pose 3 questions that can help you recognize where you have been participating in generational sin and how to break free. You don't have to be a statistic. It will not be easy but it can be done. I am living proof that even the smallest choice can lead you down a new path.
Rooting for you,
Jessica

2 Things You Can Do to Release Stress and Refocus Your Attention Back on God
Every day, when our alarms go off and our eyes open, we begin making decisions. By the end of the day, when our heads hit the pillow to do it all over again, we would have made an estimated 35,000 decisions. But we have to do it, right? The family needs to be fed, we need to go to work, and our friendships are important, so the question becomes how do we steward what God has entrusted to us without living overwhelmed by stress or filled with anxiety day in and day out.
In this episode, I walk you through two simple, practical things that you can do right away to release stress and refocus your attention back on God.
Rooting for you,
Jessica

When You Feel Like Too Much and Not Enough All at the Same Time
Your childhood, what you have done, what has been done to you, what people have said to you, what people haven’t told you - every one of these sentences when answered holds pieces about who you are; a moment in your life that tried to form you into another image other than your Father’s.
Those messages have tried to form this theme: “When you show up as who God has created you to be, you are too much and not enough all at the same time.” However, over the last couple of years, after letting go of some unhealthy relationships, I am thankful for God’s kindness in showing me that who I am in Him is enough, regardless of what it looks like to other people.
My hope for this episode is that you get honest with yourself and see what stories you believe about who you are based on your life versus what is based on a solid foundation of the Father’s love for you.
Rooting for you,
Jessica
