  • Updated Weekly

There is a yearning inside of you for a deep and meaningful relationship with God. You love Him, but not as much as you know you could. Or should. You struggle with feelings of guilt because you know that often you’re just going through the motions rather than eagerly drinking from the well that never runs dry. You go through spurts of motivation and excitement and then crash down on feelings of discouragement, apathy, or hopelessness. I know what it’s like to feel just a little lost. A little bit stuck. Or even, just flat-out complacent. I understand that the reality of mom life and the day-to-day tasks can get in the way of all our best intentions. I also know that sometimes it’s just sheer exhaustion that keeps us from moving forward and growing in the Word of God and in our faith. God knows that motherhood is demanding. Yet He made a way for you to be a mom and have a vibrant spiritual life and connection with Him at the same time. He means for you to thrive in life, not merely get by. Let me be that voice in your ear (literally and figuratively) pushing you forward. Encouraging you. Sharing stories of healing and victories. Reminding you of His amazing love and amazing grace. And, maybe, giving you a swift kick in the pants to keep you going. My name is Helen Siemens, and in this podcast, I want to talk to you like I would to a friend over a hot cup of coffee, reminding you of the truth you already know. Stirring you up to love and good works. Cheering you on as your sister in Christ, walking with you through spiritual growth and intentional living.

    63 | Why You Can't Move Forward | The Difference Between Being Hurt and Staying Stuck

    Have you ever felt stuck in the same cycle, wondering why nothing seems to change? While many of us have experienced real pain, disappointment, and hardship, there is a difference between being wounded and allowing our wounds to define us. In this episode, we're taking an honest look at victim thinking through the lens of Scripture. The book of Proverbs offers practical wisdom that challenges us to move from blame to responsibility, from helplessness to action, and from focusing on our circumstances to trusting God's guidance. Join me as we explore the subtle signs of a victim mindset, the biblical path toward personal responsibility, and how God invites us to walk in wisdom, freedom, and spiritual maturity. If you've been feeling stuck, discouraged, or powerless, this conversation will help you identify thought patterns that may be holding you back and show you how to begin moving forward with God's help.

    62 | Smash the Scale | Body Image, Weight, Insecurity, and Identity in Christ

    In this episode, we’re talking about body image, weight, insecurity, and the constant pressure women feel to measure their worth by a number on a scale. For so many women, the scale has become a source of validation, shame, fear, control, and identity. One number can determine your mood, your confidence, and even how worthy you feel. But God never called you to build your identity on your appearance. If you’ve ever struggled with body image, shame, insecurity, or feeling like you’ll finally be happy or “enough” once your body changes, this episode is for you. You are not the number on the scale. You are not your size. You are not your reflection. Your identity was never meant to be rooted in your body. It was always meant to be rooted in Christ. Stay Rooted!   I'd love to hear from you!

    60 | Why Failure Doesn't Disqualify You From Your Calling | Faith and Purpose for Women

    You trusted in Jesus for your salvation, but now you think you have to figure out how to live a life good enough to be deserving of that salvation, or for the goodness of God. You want to be good. You want to please God. But somewhere along the way, you start believing it’s up to you now. So you strive. You fail. You feel guilty. And you pull away from God. And the whole time, you’re missing the truth. Again. You are not saved by your performance. You are not kept by your performance. It has always been Jesus. We don’t move on from needing Him. If you feel stuck in that cycle, this episode will help you see why, and what it actually looks like to walk in freedom. Your problem is not that you keep failing. It’s that you think you’re supposed to succeed in your own strength. Your failure does not disqualify you. But rather, it reveals your need. And your need is what points you to Jesus. For Reflection Where am I still trusting what I do instead of trusting Jesus? What am I expecting from myself that God never asked of me? When I fail, do I run to God or pull away from Him?

    59 | The Battle in Your Mind Is Blocking Your God Given Purpose

    Do you feel like you were made for more than the life you’re living, but feel stuck, stagnant, or unsure where to start? The problem is not a lack of time. It is not a lack of ability. It is the battle in your mind. You hear thoughts like: “I’m not ready.” “I don’t know enough.” “What if I fail?” “I’m not creative.” Those thoughts feel true, but they are not aligned with what God says about you. Learn how to recognize the lies, replace them with truth, and take action even when fear is still present. Change what you believe. Change your life. Stay Rooted!

    58 | Feeling Distant From God? Why Your Quiet Time Isn’t Working

    You’re reading your Bible. You’re praying. You’re showing up. But it still feels off. In this episode, we talk about why that happens. Not from a lack of effort, but from a misplaced identity. If your quiet time feels heavy, forced, or empty, this will help you see why. And more importantly, how to shift out of striving and into a real relationship with God. Learn how to stop performing for God and start relating to Him from who you already are in Christ. Stay Rooted!

    57 | Stop Waiting to Grow, Why Your Spiritual Maturity Is Your Responsibility

    Do you ever feel stuck in your faith?  Do you wonder if you are supposed to feel more mature, more grounded by now?  Or maybe you feel the tension of knowing you are called to more, but you’re not sure what moving forward actually looks like. In this episode, we talk about what it means to actively grow in your faith instead of staying stagnant.  Scripture calls you to run your race with endurance, to fight the good fight, and to keep building a life rooted in Christ.  Growth does not happen by accident.  It takes intention, discipline, and a willingness to be stretched.  Choosing obedience and staying consistent over time are what actually produce maturity. This conversation will help you shift out of autopilot and into a faith that is alive, active, and moving forward. You are not called to stay where you are.  You are called to grow and to become someone who not only hears the Word but lives it. Stay Rooted!   Bible Verses to journal through: 2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 1 Corinthians 9:25–27 “Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.” 2 Peter 3:18 “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.” Ephesians 4:13–15 “Until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,” Colossians 1:10 “So as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” Hebrews 5:12–14 “For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, 13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. 14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
