    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about the end of performance-based faithfulness  If faithfulness feels like a pressure you're constantly falling short of, this episode is for you.

It's a moment of Christian encouragement for the tired woman who wants to walk in obedience to God without carrying the weight of getting it perfect.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Lamentations 3:22–24 "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” Question God, what does faithfulness look like in this season—not my ideal season, but this one?

    EP#391: The Strength of Kindness - Fruit That Grows in Freedom

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about how kindness is more powerful than you think.  We often shrink kindness down to good manners, but Scripture paints it as something much bigger—an actual force that flows from God's heart and changes people from the inside out. In this episode, we dig into why God's kindness is what actually leads us to repentance (not guilt or fear), and why the kindness we struggle to give others is usually tied to how much of God's kindness we've let ourselves receive. It's a gentle, honest reflection for anyone who wants real Christian encouragement and a deeper way to hear from God in the middle of a busy, tired season.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Romans 2:4 "Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?" (ESV) Question God, who could experience your kindness through me today? God, will you remind me of your kindness to me or show me how I can receive more of it? Quick Links Did God Really Say?

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about how patience is a trust issue. Do you ever wonder if your struggle with patience is really about something deeper? In this episode of faith-based reflection, we talk about why waiting on God so often stirs up fear instead of trust—and how patience actually grows in us as we lean into His timing. If you're craving Christian encouragement for a hard waiting season, this conversation will help you trade striving for trust and hear from God about what's really going on in your heart.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Psalm 27:14 "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Question God, what am I afraid will happen if you don't act on my timeline? Quick Links Did God Really Say?

    EP#389: Peace Isn't The Same as Quiet - Fruit That Grows in Freedom

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about finding peace in the middle of the mess.  If your house is loud and your heart feels even louder, this one's for you. Today's faith-based reflection unpacks the difference between the peace the world offers and the peace Jesus actually promises in John 14:27—peace that meets you in the middle of the mess, not after it finally calms down. It's Christian encouragement for anyone wondering how to hear from God in a season that doesn't feel quiet at all.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." Question God, where have I been looking for a lesser peace, like the kind circumstances or the world can offer me? And God, what peace are you offering me instead?  Quick Links Did God Really Say?

If you've ever felt like joy is something you have to work up or fake your way into, this one's for you. We're talking about what Jesus really meant when He said He wants your joy to be full, and why joy grows out of staying close to Him instead of trying harder. This is faith-based reflection for anyone who's tired and just wants to receive a little good news today.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

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!

    Encore | Ep 335 Eternal Life Isn't Just About Heaven

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about when eternal life actually begins. For years, I thought eternal life was something I'd experience someday in heaven—but Jesus says it's knowing God right now, in the middle of ordinary life. If you've been waiting to truly experience God until things slow down or you get it all together, this episode offers Christian encouragement to start living in that reality today. He's inviting you into something beautiful that's already available. Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."  John 17:1-3 "When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, 'Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you,  since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. "And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.'" Question God, how are you inviting me to participate more in eternal life with you today? And how can I notice you more in ordinary moments? Quick Links 📘 The Captivated Playbook: How to Experience and Enjoy Reading the Bible 📱 Send Jen a text – Questions or prayer requests?
