    EP 9| Does God still love me when life hurts? How to trust God's love and leading when things don't go as planned.

    Have you ever wondered if God still loves you because things are not working out as you expected? Perhaps with moving to a new country, putting in the hard work, making sacrifices, and trying to stay consistent in your walk with God, yet you're still facing disappointments, delays, and difficult seasons. In this episode of Hearing God for Diaspora Moms, we explore how to trust God's love even when life hurts. Drawing from my own experiences as an immigrant woman and a mother, I share five practical lessons that have helped me navigate seasons when things don't go as planned. You'll discover how to be honest with God about your feelings, remain connected to Him, recognize His leading, keep moving when He redirects you, and allow the right people to support you through difficult seasons. If you're struggling with unanswered questions, career setbacks, family challenges, delays, or simply trying to understand what God is doing in your life, this episode is an encouragement to remember that God is with you even in the difficult moments. You will not drown. In this episode, you'll learn: Why it's important to be honest with God about your emotions, disappointments, and unanswered questions. How to remain at God's feet even when life becomes difficult. How to pay closer attention to God's leading during seasons of uncertainty. Why you shouldn't remain stuck when God is redirecting your steps. The importance of community and allowing trusted people to walk alongside you Besides sharing these five practical steps, i also help you see two very important things that happen to you beyond those steps: your relationship with God deepens and you learn more how God speaks to you. Scripture for reflection Isaiah 43:2 – When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. A word of encouragement God doesn't just love you when everything is working out. He loves you in the delays, the disappointments, the unanswered questions, and the difficult seasons too. You may not understand everything happening around you, but you can grow in knowing the God who walks with you through it all. Let's grow together!

    EP 8| Does God Have a Plan for Your Life? 3 Scriptures to Help You Discover Your God-Given Purpose

    Have you ever wondered whether God truly has a plan for you — especially while navigating the challenges of motherhood, living abroad, and adapting to a new culture? In this episode, Chinenye walks through three foundational scriptures that reveal God's original design and purpose for your life, reminding you that He has not forgotten you, no matter where He has planted you. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why you were created with intention — How Genesis 1:26-28 shows that being made in God's image means you were designed for purpose, not to coast through life God's investment in you is not wasted — What Matthew 5:15 teaches about letting your light shine instead of hiding under a basket You were never meant to do life alone — How Hebrews 10:24 calls us to motivate one another toward love and good works, creating a ripple effect of blessing. Episode Highlights The unspoken challenge diaspora moms face: feeling like you haven't served God to your fullest potential How your identity as God's image-bearer equips you with creativity, discipline, and the capacity for dominion Why God's redemption through Jesus means His investment in you is still being claimed How acts of love and good works create a chain reaction that makes the light shine brighter and brighter Encouragement to live boldly and confidently for Jesus right where you are   Connect with the community: Join the free Christian Immigrant Women Facebook group — https://bit.ly/4yoAjw7 Subscribe for nurture emails to keep growing — https://bit.ly/4iqTFfr  To contact me, please email hello@hearinggodfordiasporamoms.com

    EP 7|Struggling to stay consistent with bible study? 3 reasons to stay consistent and hear God more clearly.

    Knowing what to do is one thing. Knowing how to do it is another. But the thread that connects them — and keeps you going — is your why. For the immigrant woman juggling childcare, work, home management, and everything in between, Bible study consistency can feel out of reach. This episode walks through three foundational reasons to stay in God's word so that you can recognize His voice and direction in your daily life. In this episode, you'll learn: Why God's word is nourishment for your soul — and what it means to "feed" continuously (Colossians 3:16, 1 Peter 2:2) How consistent Bible study teaches you God's character so you can recognize His voice amid all the noise (Matthew 4, Psalm 25:4–5) How Scripture you read today becomes the database the Holy Spirit draws from to guide you tomorrow (Matthew 5:16) Start small: One verse a day, consistently.

    EP6/3 Reasons you should stop procrastinating prayer so you can grow in your journey of faith and hearing God.

    Hey mama! To hear God, we need to pray. However, we encounter so many reasons in our day to day lives which add up and lead to procrastinating prayer. That doesn't need to be. On this episode, i share three reasons why starting exactly where you are to pray still works perfectly. Actually, i set out out to share three reasons and ended up sharing four!  We know that God is our Father, that He is interested in us and wants us as part of His Kingdom. I talk about this on the episode. Prayer continuously and frequently also helps us experience God in the very small things, grow our confidence in Him as well as sharpen our discernment. All these set us on the path of hearing and obeying God.   My prayer is that after this episode, your understanding of prayer will deepen and you will begin to live it as a lifestyle. I pray that the Holy Spirit will lead you further into God's heart of what prayer can and should be despite everything else going on around us. Lots of love.. Chinenye Hey mama, could you please take a few seconds and leave me a review on apple podcasts? Feel free to leave me a question as well. I look forward to reading them. God bless!   To connect with me and discuss day to day experiences of being an immigrant Christian mom and walking with God, come join the FREE community here: https://bit.ly/4yoAjw7   I also send little notes of encouragement which will help you grow and thrive where God has planted you.

    EP5/ Struggling to live out your faith abroad? Start with this One step to live out your faith.

    Have you ever wondered how some people seem so confident in their faith that it shows in the way they live? In this episode, Chinenye shares one thing that helps us build confidence as we walk with God: consistency. When we consistently show up in our relationship with God, we grow in our knowledge of Him, become more confident in what we believe, and become better able to recognize and obey His voice in our everyday lives. In this episode, we talk about: Why consistency helps us become confident in the things we believe. How repeatedly showing up for something helps us grow in it. How allowing God to change the way we think transforms the way we live.   Think of that jollof rice or Egusi soup (or your favorite stew). In your home, you're the authority in that kitchen and over that dish. The same principle (plus others) applies when it comes to having the things we believe in in our prayer closets translating into our every day life. We show up over and over and over. Joshua 1:8 reminds us to continually meditate on God's Word, while Romans 12:2 teaches us that as God transforms the way we think, we are transformed and become able to recognize His good, pleasing and perfect will. This episode is an encouragement to keep showing up in your relationship with God. The small, daily investments matter. As we consistently spend time with Him, we grow in confidence—not just in what we believe, but in our ability to live it out. God bless!

    EP4/ Bible study feeling boring? 3 questions to change how you read scripture.

    Hearing God has to do with being able to recognize His voice and His direction. One very important way to get us on that path is by reading and studying the bible on a consistent basis. Besides you being so busy as a diaspora mom, a few other things seem to stand in the way. One of them is that you find reading the bible boring. As it turns out, you're not alone. Now that we know each other (lol), in this episode, i share 3 questions that help you reframe, refocus and build consistency in your bible study habits.  Instead of simply sharing these questions, i have taken a practical approach on this one: i have read some verses of scripture to help us flesh out why these questions are not just relevant but effective. I pray this episode blesses you as it has blessed me!   Hey mama, could you please take a few seconds and leave me a review on apple podcasts? Feel free to leave me a question as well.

    EP3/Do you desire to be confident in your faith in God and in who God has designed you as while living and working abroad? Here is what living a life of purpose can look like.

    Hey sis! I know you have heard so many times about purpose and purposeful living. That conversation might even feel somewhat out of place for you now that you live abroad. Maybe what you believed 'purpose' was doesn't apply 'here' anymore. What if i told you that purpose is what GOD makes of exactly where you are! His plans don't stop being valid because we moved. Even when we don't understand it fully, He is still working things out. On this episode, i share what living a life of purpose can look like in an unfamiliar environment. I also share three things to be mindful and which can help us on that journey.    I am certain that there is a stirring in here for you. It may be like that ginger and garlic combo you need for your jollof mix. Hey, could you take a few seconds and leave me a review on apple podcasts? Please and thank you! I pray this episode blesses you as much it has blessed me!  I'll see you on the next one! Bye for now. Love, Chinenye. Please take a moment and leave me a review on Apple Podcasts.

    EP2/ Struggling with how to pray? Tips on how to kickstart your prayer habit as a diaspora working mom

    Hey mama! On this episode, we talk about how to pray. You've known for so long that you need to pray as part of your walk with God, especially if you are desiring to hear Him. But you're busy, juggling so many things and exhausted on so many days. You would like to be in tune with how God speaks to you or you feel like you are not saying the right words. As it turns out, scripture teaches us to come to God as our Father: The One who knows us all too well, who hears us and knows our voice. Letting go of the fear of doing it right and just having a sincere, simple and honest prayer on the basis of a relationship is what scripture teaches us.  Asking my children's view of when they call out to their daddy helped me understand better what Jesus was saying and exemplifying when He prayed throughout scripture.   I pray this episode blesses you as it has blessed me!   Please take a few seconds and leave me a review on apple podcasts.
