    242 // Can God Still Use Me After Everything I’ve Done?

    👉🏻 Have you ever wondered, “Can God still use me after everything I've done?” Maybe you believe that God forgives you. But deep down, you still feel like your past has disqualified you from being useful to Him. You've made too many mistakes, wasted too much time, or been hurt too deeply—and you wonder if God can really do anything with your story now. And when you look at other women, it may seem like God can use them. But when you look at yourself, you think: “I'm too broken. God can't really use someone like me.” In this episode, we're exploring the lie that your past disqualifies you and the truth that God specializes in redemption. We'll look at several people in Scripture whose failures, brokenness, and complicated pasts didn't get the final word—and what their stories reveal about what God can do with yours. 🌟 In this episode, you'll discover: Why believing that God forgives you isn't always the same as believing He can still use you. The lie that your past has permanently disqualified you. Why consequences and disqualification aren't the same thing. What Peter, Paul, and Rahab reveal about God's ability to redeem complicated stories. Why redemption doesn't mean pretending your past never happened. How God can use the compassion, wisdom, and grace you've gained through difficult experiences. One gentle step you can take when there's something from your past you've decided God could never redeem. If you've been looking at your past and wondering if you've simply messed up too much, I hope this episode reminds you that your past is not more powerful than God's redemption. 💞 You don't have to know how God will use your story. You just have to stop assuming He can't. --------------------    🔎 Discover Your First Step to Fully Experiencing God’s Love (Free Quiz): https://www.relateescape.com/quiz 💌 Get a weekly reminder of God’s tender love for you—plus exclusive offers: https://relate-escape.kit.com/godlovesme 🤝 Connect with other women and learn more about who God truly is in Relate Escape Place: https://www.relateescape.com/membership 🛍️ Shop the Relate Escape store: https://www.relateescape.com/store 📌 Follow Jenn on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/relateescape

    👉🏻 Have you ever wondered how to make God love you? Maybe you've spent years trying to be a good Christian woman. You've prayed, read your Bible, tried to obey God, and worked hard to avoid disappointing Him—but somehow, you still don't feel like you're doing enough. And eventually, you start wondering: Does God really love me? What if I'm not good enough? What if other people qualify for His love, but I don't? In this episode, we're exploring the exhausting belief that you have to earn God's love and the lie that says God only loves “good” Christian women.

What Scripture reveals about God's love coming before your performance—including what it means that He loved you before the creation of the world.

You don't have to become a better Christian before you're worthy of His love. 💖 God loved you first.

    239 // Why Does God Feel So Far Away?

    👉🏻 Have you ever wondered where God is? Maybe you've prayed about something over and over again, but nothing seems to change. You've asked God for help, direction, healing, or an answer—and done everything on your spiritual to-do list–but instead of feeling His presence, you feel silence. And eventually, you start wondering: Does God even care? If He really loved me, wouldn't He be here? In this episode, we'll explore what it means to feel forgotten by God and the lie that says His silence means He doesn't care. Discover what the Bible reveals about God's character and why His silence does not mean His absence. 💫 In this episode, you'll discover: Why God's silence can begin to feel personal. The lie that says God doesn't really care about you. Why we sometimes mistake our ability to feel God's presence for His actual presence. What Scripture reveals about God's attentive, compassionate, and faithful character. How people throughout Scripture honestly brought their feelings of abandonment and unanswered prayers to God. One simple practice to help you distinguish between "God isn't here" and "I don't feel God here." If you're in a season where God feels far away, I hope this episode reminds you that you don't have to pretend you're okay—and you don't have to conclude that God's silence means He's forgotten you. He is still present, attentive, compassionate, and loving, even when you can't sense Him.

    237 // Why Do I Feel Like I'm Disappointing God?

    👉🏻 Do you ever feel like you're constantly disappointing God? Maybe you know where you're struggling. You know the habits you can't seem to break, the ways you keep falling short, and the areas where you wish you were further along. So you tell yourself that you’ll approach God when you've finally gotten yourself together. But what if you've got it backwards? In this episode, we'll explore the lie that you have to fix yourself before you can approach God. We'll look at why healing doesn't have to come before a relationship with Him—and how God's invitation is to come as you are, right in the middle of your mess.  💫 In this episode, you'll discover: Why shame can make you want to hide from God. The lie that you have to become better before God wants you near Him. Why transformation happens within a relationship with God, not before it.

You can come exactly as you are.

    236 // Does God Really Like Me?

    👉🏻 You’ve been told God loves you... but are you struggling to believe that He actually likes you? For many women, especially those who have experienced abuse, criticism, or emotionally distant relationships, it's easy to assume God is just like the people who have hurt us. We may believe He tolerates us rather than delights in us, leaving us feeling distant, anxious, or afraid to approach Him. In this episode, we'll uncover the lie that God is unpredictable, critical, or emotionally distant—and discover the truth about His character.  Together, we'll explore why God is completely different from those who misuse authority and how seeing Him as He truly is can begin to heal our hearts. ✨ In this episode, you'll discover: Why it's easy to project human relationships onto God. The lie that God merely tolerates you instead of delighting in you. What Scripture reveals about God's gentle and trustworthy character. Why Jesus consistently moved toward hurting people with compassion. A simple exercise to help separate God's character from the people who wounded you. 💓 If you've ever been afraid that God is disappointed in you or emotionally distant, I pray this episode helps you begin seeing His heart more clearly. --------------------    🔎 Discover Your First Step to Fully Experiencing God’s Love (Free Quiz): https://www.relateescape.com/quiz 💌 Get a weekly reminder of God’s tender love for you—plus exclusive offers: https://relate-escape.kit.com/godlovesme 🤝 Connect with other women and learn more about who God truly is in Relate Escape Place: https://www.relateescape.com/membership 🛍️ Shop the Relate Escape store: https://www.relateescape.com/store 📌 Follow Jenn on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/relateescape
