    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?

    The Woman Behind the Title: Lashunda Scales on Faith, Family, and Leadership | EP146

    She grew up on Section 8, dropped out of college at 19, and almost lost her life. Today she makes the laws. Commissioner LaShunda Scales' story has never been told like this.   EPISODE DESCRIPTION  Jefferson County Commissioner LaShunda Scales — known in her district as 'Mama Scales' — sits down with host Jessica S. Smith for the most personal conversation of her career. She opens up about growing up in West End Birmingham, being raised by a single mother across multiple schools, dropping out of college, a near-death experience at 19, and the moment she surrendered her life to God. From marrying young and going back to school in her 30s with kids in tow, to earning her way into Harvard Kennedy School and building a PR firm that counted TD Jakes, Magic Johnson, and Burger King as clients — this is the story behind the fight. She also breaks down her #SheWorks mantra, why she invests heavily in workforce development for women, and what it really means to be a woman of God in a male-dominated political arena. If you've ever been told you started too late, came from the wrong place, or don't fit the mold — this episode is yours.   WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE  Growing up in West End Birmingham on Section 8 and food stampsA near-death experience at 19 and a life-changing encounter with GodGoing back to school as a mom in her 30s — and how a storm led to a scholarshipFrom Jeff State to Harvard Kennedy School: the non-traditional path to excellenceBuilding a PR firm from $500 with TD Jakes as her first clientWhy she's known as 'Mama Scales' — and what she does when cameras aren't watchingThe #SheWorks movement and her message to women entrepreneurs ABOUT THE GUEST  LaShunda Scales is a Jefferson County Commissioner representing District 6 in Birmingham, Alabama.
