    BONUS: What God Is Doing in Your Morning Routine with Jennifer Dukes Lee

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about why morning routines with Jesus don't have to be perfect. If you've ever felt guilty for not being a "morning person," Jennifer Dukes Lee has a word for you — and it might change how you start every single day. In this conversation, she shares what she discovered after studying 200+ mornings in Scripture: that God has a soft spot for mornings, and that meeting Him there has nothing to do with what time your alarm goes off. This is your Christian encouragement for anyone who's ever whispered "God, help me" before their feet hit the floor — because Jennifer says that counts.  Jennifer Dukes Lee is a bestselling author, speaker, and morning evangelist from Iowa. She is the author of several books, including Growing Slow, It’s All Under Control, and Stuff I’d Only Tell God. She wants to live her life in such a way that you can’t help but want more of Jesus. Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

    EP#361: Finding Security in God When You Feel Like You're Failing - Real Peace, Secure Faith

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about why you don't need a resume to draw near to God. If you've been quietly wondering whether God is keeping score, this episode is for you. Jen walks through Colossians 3 to show why your security in Christ has nothing to do with your to-do list — and everything to do with what Jesus has already done. A gentle, grounding reminder for any Christian woman who needs to exhale and remember she's not hanging by a thread.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Colossians 3:1-4  "If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory." Question God, are there any areas where I’m living as though I’m exposed instead of hidden in Christ?

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about what to do when you still feel guilty, even though God already has forgiven you.  If you've ever wondered why guilt still lingers even after you've asked God for forgiveness, this episode is for you. Jen walks through the difference between conviction and condemnation — and why Romans 8:1 means you are free to come to God right now, not after you get your act together. This is Christian encouragement for anyone who's been quietly living like they're still on probation with God.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

    EP#358: Strength for Hard Seasons - Real Peace, Secure Faith

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about what real strength looks like in hard times. When life feels heavy and you're running on empty, the last thing you need is another push to try harder. In this short episode, Jen opens up 2 Corinthians 12:9 and reminds us that real strength in hard seasons doesn't come from working up more willpower — it comes from God's grace, which is already sufficient for whatever you're carrying today. This is your Christian encouragement for the week: you don't have to be unshakeable to trust that he is.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse 2 Corinthians 12:9 "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." Question God, I'm aware of my weakness, but I wanna be more aware of your grace.

    EP#357: Hard Pressed, Not Crushed - Real Peace, Secure Faith

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about why God doesn’t always remove the pressure. When life feels like it's pressing down on you from every direction, it's easy to wonder if God has forgotten you. In this episode, Jen opens up 2 Corinthians 4 to remind us that being hard pressed isn't a sign of abandonment — it's an invitation to notice what God is already doing in the middle of it. A grounding episode for anyone craving Christian encouragement on the hard days.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse 2 Corinthians 4:6-9 "For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed."

    EP#356: Hope for the Worn-Out Believer - Real Peace, Secure Faith

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about how to have hope when you feel spiritually tired. Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is stop pretending you're okay and just ask God to fill what you can't fix. Jen walks through Romans 15:13 and shares a deeply personal story about hope, grief, and what it means to trust God when the outcome isn't what you prayed for. Real Christian encouragement for the mom who's tired but still showing up.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." Question God of Hope, where am I trying to force or fake something when you want to fill me with something instead? Help me receive that from you.

    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?
