    After Wrestling with Discontentment… I Had to Redefine Success | Luke 12:15

    There was a point where I had to stop and ask myself a real question… Why do I want what I want? This is the second installment in our series about success. When I got honest, I realized what looked like ambition on the outside… was rooted in something deeper on the inside. In this episode, we’re slowing down and sitting with Luke 12:15, where Jesus gives a warning that challenges how we define success, contentment, and what really matters. “Watch out… be on guard against all greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.” This isn’t just about money. This is about motives. This is about what’s driving you. We’re unpacking: What greed actually is (biblically, not culturally) Why discontentment reveals more than we think How success can’t be defined outside of God’s will What it means to truly be content in Christ If you’ve been striving, comparing, or quietly feeling like “it’s still not enough”… this conversation is for you. This episode is an invitation for you to slow down, sit with Scripture, and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal what God wants to correct, heal, and sanctify—not just through you, but in you. 🤎 More content on YouTube search “@jazminedewees”

    Have You Ever Wrestled with Discontentment? It Made Me Rethink Success as a Christian

    If you’ve ever quietly wondered “Why do I feel behind?”… this conversation is for you. In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, we begin a new series exploring what success actually means for a Christian. Many of us come into the faith carrying definitions of success that were shaped by culture, ambition, productivity, and comparison. But over time, God begins to expose the tension between worldly success and biblical faithfulness. In this episode, I open up about my own wrestle with discontentment, selfish ambition, and redefining success through the lens of Christ. We talk about: Why ambitious Christians often struggle with discontentment How comparison and misplaced value systems lead to dissatisfaction What Luke 12:15 reveals about covetousness and contentment Why defining success the wrong way will always leave us off balance   The difference between hustling for success and stewarding what God gives This episode lays the foundation for a larger series where we’ll explore: Biblical success Joshua 1:7–8 and God's definition of success Christian fruitfulness vs worldly achievement Faithfulness, obedience, and stewardship If you've ever wrestled with feeling like you're not doing enough, not achieving enough, or not moving fast enough in life or ministry — you're not alone. This conversation is about learning to fix our eyes on Christ so we can live faithfully without constantly redefining success according to the world.

    Anchored In… Hebrews 12:1–2 | What If Your Spiritual Fatigue Is Actually Distraction?

    Before you ask God for strength, ask Him what needs to be laid down. Hebrews 12:1–2 changes how we endure, let's get into today's anchoring passage. This episode is an invitation for you to slow down, sit with Scripture, and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal what God wants to correct, heal, and sanctify—not just through you, but in you. Hebrews 12 calls us to lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles us, and to run with endurance the race set before us. But what if some of our spiritual fatigue isn’t attack — it’s distraction? What if we’re carrying things we were never assigned to carry? If you’ve been feeling heavy, stagnant, or spiritually tired — this reflection is for you. Thank you for sitting in Scripture with me today. If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who may be feeling weary in their race. And if you’re walking through these Anchored In devotional episodes with me, I’m grateful you’re here. We’ll continue anchoring ourselves in the Word, together. ▶ Subscribe so you don’t miss the next devotional, and let me know in the comments: What weight might God be asking you to lay down?

    It Got Heavier the Closer I Drew to God | Spiritual Stamina

    January stretched me in ways I didn’t expect. Sickness in our home. Hospital visits. Spiritual warfare. And a question I couldn’t ignore: Why does it sometimes feel harder when you get closer to God? In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I share how one of the greatest lessons from this season wasn’t strength — it was spiritual stamina. Spiritual stamina is the endurance to stay faithful when storms don’t stop. It’s the sobriety, consecration, and discernment required to withstand weight you once prayed for. We talk about: The cost of anointing Accepting what the Lord allows Why spiritual preparation matters How knowing God builds discernment Why comfort can weaken spiritual endurance What it means to stand firm because you know whose you are If you’ve been feeling stretched, opposed, or spiritually fatigued… this conversation is for you. You’re not being broken. You’re being built. 🤎 If this resonates with you: Subscribe so you don’t miss future conversations Share this with someone who needs encouragement And answer this in the comments: Where do you need to grow your spiritual stamina?

    Anchored In… Romans 12:1 | I Wanted Transformation — God Asked for Consecration First

    Today we slow down and sit with Romans 12:1 together. For years, I thought “present your body as a living sacrifice” meant simply giving something up for God. But through fasting, prayer, and consecration, the Lord revealed something deeper: Transformation doesn’t happen without surrender. Holiness doesn’t happen without offering ourselves fully. In this devotional episode, we walk through Romans 12:1 in multiple translations and talk honestly about: what a living sacrifice really means how fasting becomes an act of worship why consecration precedes transformation and how God uses obedience to shape us from the inside out This isn’t about performance. It’s about posture. This episode is an invitation for you to slow down, sit with Scripture, and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal what God wants to correct, heal, and sanctify—not just through you, but in you. If you’ve been praying for change, renewal, or growth with God… this conversation is for you. Subscribe for weekly faith-based conversations and devotionals.

    What Fasting Revealed About My Need for Surrender and Transformation

    At the start of the year, I went into a 21-day fast looking for clarity from God. What I didn’t expect was that fasting wouldn’t just give me answers—it would give me more of Him. In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I share honestly about why I fasted, what was revealed during that season, and how surrender, consecration, and sober-mindedness opened the door to deeper intimacy with God. From family illness and exhaustion to hidden ambition and the call to slow down, this fast exposed more than I planned—but it also transformed me. We explore what Scripture really says about fasting, why obedience often comes before understanding, and how yielding to God is not weakness—it’s freedom. This conversation is for anyone who feels stretched, called deeper, or aware that God is inviting them to let go of control and trust Him more fully. Scriptures referenced: Acts 13:2 Matthew 6:16–18 Psalm 139:23–24 Romans 12:1–2 2 Corinthians 3:17–18 This episode is an invitation to reflect, surrender, and ask an honest question: What are you laying down before the Lord right now? 🎧 Listen, reflect, and sit with God—without rushing the process.

    Anchored in Psalms 139: 23-24 | Devotion

    What happens when you invite God to search places in your heart you’ve learned to manage, ignore, or hide? In this devotional episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I want to invite you to sit with Psalm 139:23–24—a prayer that became weighty yet grace-filled for me as I allowed God to thoroughly search my heart and lead me in His everlasting way. As we read this passage across multiple Bible translations, I share why asking God to search us can be both powerful and uncomfortable. Through personal reflection, I talk about spiritual growth, the danger of becoming casual with God, and how hidden heart issues—like offense, anxiety, and misplaced comfort—can quietly shape our walk with Him. This episode is an invitation for you to slow down, sit with Scripture, and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal what God wants to correct, heal, and sanctify—not just through you, but in you. If you’re longing for deeper spiritual maturity, heart transformation, and honest prayer, my prayer is that this episode encourages you to let God do the internal work that leads to lasting change.

    I Didn’t Realize How Much I Was Rushing Until I Was Forced to Slow Down

    I Didn’t Realize How Much I Was Rushing Until I Was Forced to Slow Down is an honest reflection on pace, pressure, and what God reveals when everything finally gets quiet. In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, Jazmine shares vulnerably about a season of slowing down, listening more closely to God, and realizing that stillness isn’t inactivity—it’s cooperation. Through personal reflection and biblical truth, she explores how God often exposes our hearts privately before anything ever surfaces publicly—and how that kind of exposure is not punishment, but grace. This episode unpacks: Why God slows us down when ambition gets loud How stillness reveals what striving tries to hide The difference between godly ambition and selfish ambition Why hidden seasons are often preparation, not punishment How refinement precedes true spiritual transformation What it means to trust God’s timing over our own pace If you’ve felt frustrated by waiting, uncomfortable with rest, or confused by a season of slowing down, this conversation is an invitation to see stillness as grace—and refinement as proof that God is investing in you. Stillness doesn’t mean you’re behind. Hidden doesn’t mean you’re forgotten. And refinement is often where transformation begins. If this episode resonated with you: Subscribe to Eat Don’t Compete for faith-centered conversations on identity, obedience, and spiritual growth Share this episode with someone navigating a season of waiting or refinement Leave a review to help others find this space and know they’re not alone And take a moment today to sit in stillness—God may be revealing something to you, privately, in love.
