    EP#355: When Faith and Fear Coexist - Real Peace, Secure Faith

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about how to trust God when you’re still afraid. Fear doesn’t disappear just because we believe Jesus is alive—and that tension can leave many Christian moms feeling discouraged or even ashamed. In this faith-based reflection, we look at the moment in John 20 when the disciples were still hiding in fear after the resurrection and how Jesus met them with peace instead of shame. If you’ve ever wondered how to hear from God or experience His presence when you’re overwhelmed, this episode offers gentle Christian encouragement for trusting Him even while you’re still afraid. Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse John 20:18–21 ESV 18 "Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, 'I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her. 19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” Question God, where are you present in what makes me fearful? Will you give me a picture I can hold onto?

If you're wondering how to hear from God in the middle of a hard season, this one's a good place to start.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

    EP#352: From "How Long "to "I Trust" - How to Bring Your Feelings to God

    Send a text From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about bringing your pain to God. Lament is one of the most honest forms of prayer, and scripture is full of it — including in the words of David in Psalm 13. Jen guides you through what it looks like to bring your deepest pain and disappointment to God, even when you don't have the words, and invites you into a faith-based reflection that could open something tender and true in your own heart.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Psalms 13    "How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?  How long will you hide your face from me?  How long must I take counsel in my soul  and have sorrow in my heart all the day?  How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?  Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;  light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,  lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”  lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.   But I have trusted in your steadfast love;  my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.  I will sing to the Lord,  because he has dealt bountifully with me." Question God, what pain or disappointment needs words today? Help me give words to it.

    EP#350: Releasing Anxiety to God - How to Bring Your Feelings to God

    Send a text From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about a practice for anxious days. If anxiety has been your constant companion lately, this episode is for you. Jen walks through two powerful scripture passages to show that God doesn't ask you to get it together before drawing near — he meets you right in the middle of the worry, the tight chest, and the spiraling thoughts. A grounding, faith-based reflection for anyone who needs a reminder that anxious feelings are an invitation, not a barrier.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Luke 10:38–42   "As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” 41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Psalms 94:16-19  16 "Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers? 17 Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death. 18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. 19 When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy." Question God, what can I notice in my body? What can I notice here physically as I release this anxiety to you in your presence?

    EP#349: Confused but Not Alone - How to Bring Your Feelings to God

    Send a text From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about staying close to God when you don’t have answers. When the world feels loud, confusing, and impossible to make sense of, our instinct is to run to God for answers — but what if he's actually inviting us somewhere deeper first? In this episode, Jen opens up about sitting with confusion and discovers that Jesus meets us in the middle of it, not always with clarity, but always with His presence and peace. If you're a Christian woman needing encouragement but feeling too overwhelmed to even know what to pray, this one is for you.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse John 20:19-22 "On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit." Question God, what would it look like to remain close to you even without clarity?

If you've been wondering how to hear from God in a season of lack or longing, this conversation is a gentle place to start.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Philippians 4:11–13  "I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." Question God, I wanna bring to you what I'm going through. What does it look like for me to have contentment empowered by your strength even here?
