Live It Out with Jennifer Booth Jennifer Booth

Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” As we navigate through life, we will naturally stop doing certain things and start doing new things. In my own life, I have moved out of the phase of being highly involved in my kids’ lives. They are adults now and are learning to manage life on their own.
There are times when God tells us to stop certain activities so that He can move us in a new direction. There are other situations, though, where God may be calling you to simply pause and stop doing something for a season. After that season is completed, then He may call you back to that thing. 
And that’s what I want to talk about in this episode. I’ve felt led over the last couple of weeks to press pause in an area of my life. I’ll share where I’m pressing pause and how I came to the conclusion that this pause is necessary.
So grab your favorite beverage and settle in as we talk about what to do when God tells us to pause.

One of the biggest blessings I get from writing and podcasting comes when God uses something I’ve written or podcasted about to encourage or speak to me months or years later. I have had the privilege of writing monthly devotionals for a denominational magazine several times over the last few years. When I write these devotionals, I have to submit them about six months before they are published. So, when I read them in the month they were written for, I always find that God speaks to me through my own writing.
Just this week, God used one of my past podcast episodes to encourage and speak to me. I knew my time was limited for putting together this episode, so I went back into the archives to find one to re-air that I thought would be encouraging to you this week.
I decided to listen to episode 38, about 5 steps for bearing fruit. The reason I chose this podcast is because I shared in an episode earlier this year that my word of the year is thrive. And I determined that the way we thrive is to bear fruit. So I thought the episode on how to bear fruit would be a good one to share this summer.
When I listened to it, I was surprised to hear myself talking about Psalm 1. This is the Psalm I talked about in the episode about thriving earlier this year. As I listened to what I shared about bearing fruit, God reminded me of things I need to continue to do in my life now to bear fruit. I’m not trying to brag because I feel that it was the Lord who gave me this message, but what I share in this episode is gold. I don’t even remember writing the episode, so I know it was God who wanted me to share this message.
This episode was first published in April 2019, so some things I talk about are no longer applicable to what I am doing now. You will hear a lot about The Planning Woman, my former brand, but there are certain aspects of what God was showing me about The Planning Woman that are still applicable to what I’m doing through Jennifer Booth Ministries.
I also mention offering coaching packages. I am not doing that at this time. So disregard that information. And I talk about a community group I had at the time. That is now the Live It Out Community group which is not on social media. I’ll link it in the show notes so you can check it out.
So grab your favorite beverage and settle in while we learn how to bear fruit.
I hope this episode blesses you!

Hey, friend! One of the goals I have with this podcast is to bring you practical tools for living out your faith. That’s why I’m excited to share a conversation I had with my friend and ministry mentor Katie Orr about how to pray Scripture.
In this episode, we talk about:
Resources to help you learn how to study the Bible How you can study the Bible regardless of skill or time How to ditch perfection in prayer How praying Scripture is an effective way to pray  
You will hear at the end of this episode about another recording Katie and I did that I said would be in a new program I’ve created. I have not yet launched that program and am still assessing what it is going to look like. But rest assured that I will share that video in some way as soon as I can.
You do not want to miss this super practical episode, so grab your favorite beverage and settle in as we learn how to pray Scripture.

Just recently, I’ve had several friends go through difficult times in their lives. Three women I know experienced the death of their mamas this week. Another family has a 20-year-old daughter who just got diagnosed with cancer. A friend of mine has a 35-year-old son who was diagnosed with cancer a couple of months ago. And then, there are people who are experiencing relationship issues, job loss, or other difficulties. 
Sometimes I wonder how I can help in these situations. Do I take food? Do I call them? How can I be of help? And because I’m not sure what would be most helpful, I confess I often don’t do anything beyond sharing a message on social media.
I believe God has opened my eyes lately to see the needs of people around me. Specifically, those going through a difficult time. So that’s led me to think through how I could help them and show them the love of Christ through my actions.
In this episode, I will share some things you can do when you see someone going through a difficult time. So, grab your favorite beverage and settle in while we learn how to help others.

Hey, friend! I'm back with another episode from the archives. I've had a busier-than-expected June, so I'm taking the opportunity to share some of my favorite past episodes. I'll be back with fresh content in July.
This week I'm sharing an interview I did with Eva Kubasiak in May of 2022. We talked about a ton of things related to studying the Bible. Eva shares some of her best tips to help you develop a Bible study routine so that you can study the Bible every day. 
Packed full of practical, actionable ideas, I hope you enjoy this episode!

Have you ever thought about the legacy you will leave when you die? I'm not trying to be a downer, but we need to think about what people will remember about us when we're gone.
As believers, our hope should be that our lives pointed to Christ.
In an effort to simplify my summer, I'm sharing a couple of past episodes over the next two weeks. Today's episode was initially released as episode 13, where I talked about leaving a godly legacy.
You'll want to listen in and learn about two people in the Bible, one who followed God and one who didn't. Also, I share ways you can become more intimately acquainted with God.
