    Is God Rebranding You? Obedience, Growth & Elevation | EP150

    Jessica S. Smith opens an honest conversation about growth, obedience, and what it really means to evolve without losing who you are. As Jess Ask the Podcast enters a new season, she reflects on the emotional side of rebranding and how God often develops us privately before expanding us publicly. Jess and Desiree discuss why change can feel uncomfortable, how obedience stretches your capacity, and why elevation requires responsibility. This conversation is a reminder that growth isn't about becoming someone different — it's about becoming who you were always meant to be. If you're navigating change, feeling stretched, or sensing God doing something new in your life, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

    Can God Trust You With More | EP149

    Jess and Desiree dive into a powerful question many believers don't often consider: Can God trust you? While many people focus on trusting God, this conversation shifts the perspective toward what it means to become trustworthy in the things God assigns. Through honest reflections, scripture, and personal experiences, they discuss how obedience, stewardship, and even suffering can shape spiritual maturity. They also explore how difficult seasons may not be punishment, but preparation, and how learning God’s heart changes how we navigate challenges. If you're in a season where you're asking God for more, this episode may challenge you to ask a different question: Are you ready for what you're asking for? This conversation will especially encourage anyone growing in faith, navigating trials, or learning what true obedience looks like. 🌿 Join “The Safe Space” Community (Patreon) Need a place to be reminded you're not alone?
