    Finding God's Faithfulness in Every Season

    Life comes and goes in seasons, and we find trials and triumphs in each one. Three years ago, I was in a season of profound grief after experiencing several trials within the span of a few months. I wrestled with loneliness, grief, and questions about how to start over in my mid-thirties. But through it all, God was faithful, steadfast, and true. This week on the podcast, I reflect on the journey from sorrow to joy, share how the Psalms have ministered to my heart in every season, and invite you to consider where God has you right now. Whether you’re in a time of planting, resting, or harvesting, Immanuel—God with us—meets us right where we are.  I also have fun news to share: I have a new part-time job that perfectly fits this chapter of life and my upcoming book, Seasons of a Soul, walks you through the Psalms, coming alongside you wherever you are.  No matter your season, God’s steadfast love endures.

    From Striving to Surrender: Learning to Embrace Grace

    After taking the summer off of social media and the podcast, I’m back today with a new episode sharing about what God did in my heart and where I’m headed. This year has been a journey of learning to slow down and surrender. I’ve been wrestling with the pressure to build an online platform, but God keeps whispering to my heart: “Not by might, nor by power, only by Your Spirit.” In this episode, I’m sharing what it looks like to pull back from striving, rest in God’s timing, and embrace the season I’m in with grace. If you’ve ever felt the weight of trying to do more, be more, or produce more, this one’s for you. Let’s go at the pace of grace together.

    Held in His Hands: A Living Faith with Anna Mae Groves

    In this week’s episode, I chat with Anna Mae Groves about walking out our faith, even when it doesn’t make sense. Anna is such a beautiful light and shares with transparency about her journey with mental health struggles and how the Lord brought her out of the darkness with one simple habit that changed everything. She also shares with us about faith-filled decisions that helped her to see God as trustworthy, faithful, and true. Her stories encouraged me specifically with some situations I have going on in my personal life right now, and I know the same will be true for you, too.  *If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please don’t keep them to yourself.

    Held in His Hands: Celebrating the Life You Already Have with Nicole Zasowski

    In this episode, I chat with my dear friend Nicole about taking the risk of inviting joy into your everyday life. So often, joy can feel like a dangerous emotion to embrace, because when we have walked through hard times, it is easier to always anticipate the next storm around the corner. Through infertility, loss, and a cross-country move, Nicole has found the beauty in learning to embrace joy, even when it feels scary.  If you’re struggling to find joy and don’t want to hold on to hope, this episode will encourage you to find the beauty in the life right in front of you.

    This week, I’m chatting with Portia Collins about how God has sustained her through health issues and discouraging times when she wanted to give up. She shares with us how God has used her struggles to draw her to Him and make her more dependent on Him instead of trusting in her own strength.  If you’re in a season where you feel like you just don’t have much to give, this one is for you!  FULL SHOW NOTES Portia’s Website Portia’s Instagram Follow along: Jessica’s Instagram Podcast Instagram Facebook Coaching with Jessica Weekly Newsletter
