    Proverbs 9:8 — When Wisdom Wounds: A Neurodivergent Look at Discernment

    What happens when truth meets a heart that isn’t ready to hear it? In this 30-minute episode, Jane unpacks Proverbs 9:8—“Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.” Through a neurodivergent and trauma-informed lens, she explores why correction often feels like rejection, how our brains process threat and shame, and why discernment is as holy as truth itself. You’ll learn how to recognize emotional readiness, how to speak wisdom without wounding yourself, and how to heal from the bruises that come from loving people who weren’t ready to listen. Perfect for anyone who feels things deeply, thinks in layers, and wants to walk in wisdom without losing compassion. Topics:– Proverbs 9:7–12 explained– The neuroscience of correction and defense– Discernment in ministry and relationships– Healing from the “injury” of obedience– Practical rhythms for wise communication Closing thought: Wisdom isn’t hurry—it’s harmony between truth and timing.

    Margins of the Body: Finding Calm with Sacred Somatics

    When anxiety hijacks your body—tight chest, racing heart, sleepless nights—the gap between what you know is true and what you feel can feel impossible to bridge. In this episode, Jane unpacks how Scripture names anxiety’s bodily fallout (trembling, sleeplessness, weakness) and how the Lord meets us there—not with shame, but with a very present help. From Genesis to the Psalms to Gethsemane, the Bible gives language for stress in the body and a path toward whole-person peace. Jane then introduces Sacred Somatics™, the Christ-centered method she created to help women bring their bodies into prayer—pairing short, choice-based practices with the Word so truth travels from page → mind → nervous system → daily life. You’ll also hear a brief, guided breath-prayer you can practice anytime anxiety surges. Why the Bible speaks about bones, flesh, trembling, and sleeplessness when it talks about distress (Ps. 55:4–5; Ps. 77:4; Hab. 3:16). How creation, redemption, and sanctification affirm you as an embodied soul (Gen. 2:7; 1 Cor. 6:19–20; 1 Thess. 5:23). The common lie anxiety tells (“you’re not safe and you’re on your own”) and the truth that answers it (Ps. 46:1; Phil. 4:6–7). What Sacred Somatics™ is—and isn’t—and how it helps disciple the nervous system under Scripture. A simple, Scripture-anchored practice using Psalm 46:1, 1 Peter 5:7, and Psalm 23:1. Genesis 2:7; Psalm 23:1; Psalm 38:3–8; Psalm 46:1; Psalm 55:4–5; Psalm 77:4; Habakkuk 3:16–19; Proverbs 14:30; 17:22; Matthew 11:28–30; Luke 22:44; 1 Corinthians 6:19–20; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Philippians 4:6–7; 1 Peter 5:7.

    Undivided: Identity in Christ and the Spirit of Division

    In this episode of Meeting God in the Margins, we continue Week One of the Nourished by Grace Bible study and talk about the spirit of division and how it impacts our identity in Christ. Many women wrestle with body image struggles, eating disorders, trauma, and shame—but the root is often the same: division. Through Scripture—1 Corinthians 1, Psalm 139, Ephesians 2, and Galatians 5—we’ll discover how the enemy uses division to fracture our hearts and how Christ restores wholeness. If you’ve ever felt torn between God’s truth and the lies of shame, this teaching will remind you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, fully loved, and set free in Christ. Join me as we learn to silence division with God’s Word and live undivided in Him. Key Takeaway: The enemy divides, but Christ makes us whole.

    Joy Floods My System: A Neurodivergent Look at Answered Prayer

    Why does joy sometimes feel unsafe—especially after an answered prayer you’ve waited years for? If you've ever felt fear rush in right behind the blessing, you're not alone. In this episode, Jane Hanna unpacks why our nervous systems (especially those wired with CPTSD and AuDHD) can treat joy like a threat—and how Scripture offers us a way to retrain our hearts to receive it. With both clinical insight and deep biblical truth, this is a healing conversation for anyone who has ever felt scared to trust the good. We’re talking answered prayers, emotional flooding, spiritual warfare, and the God who doesn’t give gifts just to take them back.
