    Bonus - Processing Pain to get to the Promise

    This is my most-listened-to message, recorded back in 2016—just a week after a wonderful lady in our church, Zoe Joy, passed away suddenly from cancer. In it, I talk honestly about what it means to process pain in the presence of God and how to hold onto faith when life doesn’t make sense. It’s an invitation to walk with Him through the mystery, rather than around it. We explore how to: Be gut-level honest with God, bringing Him our raw emotion and unanswered questions. Thank and praise Him through the pain, even when our hearts are breaking. Lay down our right to understand and choose trust instead. I share from personal experience about navigating disappointment without losing hope, and how God can use seasons of sorrow to lead us into deeper intimacy and ultimately into His promises. If you’ve ever faced moments that challenge your view of God’s goodness, this message will help you find a way to stay anchored in love, even in the storm. (The ministry time is included in case you want to invite God to meet with you while I lead through the process) Website -⁠ ⁠⁠wendymannequip.com⁠⁠⁠ Rooted -⁠ ⁠⁠wendymannequip.com/rooted⁠

    Episode 8 - We can’t do it alone: Importance of community

    Ever wondered why it feels so hard to grow in your faith alone? The truth is, you weren’t designed to.  In this episode, Wendy explores why we can’t become wholehearted disciples of Jesus in isolation—and why God designed us to grow in the context of community. How Jesus modelled the importance of community with the twelve, the three, and the one. Why the enemy works so hard to isolate us, and why we’re more vulnerable when we walk alone. The call to live in authentic church community and cultivate 2–3 trusted friendships. Four keys to building wholehearted relationships: Pray for good friends, take relational risks, learn to ask good questions, understand your heart and attachment style Community may be messy, risky, and time-consuming—but it’s also where healing, freedom, and wholeness are found. You don’t have to walk this journey alone. Key Scriptures: John 19:26–27 — Jesus entrusting His mother to John 1 Peter 5:8 — Be alert, the enemy prowls like a lion 1 John 1:7 — Walking in the light leads to fellowship Website - ⁠⁠wendymannequip.com⁠⁠ Rooted - ⁠⁠wendymannequip.com/rooted⁠ #ChristianPodcast #Discipleship #WholeheartedFaith #ChristianCommunity #SpiritualGrowth #HostingGodsPresence #JesusModelledCommunity #FaithJourney #KingdomLife #ChurchFamily #DeepFriendships #ChristianLiving #WalkInTheLight #BodyOfChrist #FaithAndLife #SpiritualFormation #Faith #Hope #Love #Jesus #God #Bible #Prayer #Worship #ChristianLife #Church

    Bonus - Rooted Discipleship School Reflections

    ‘Raising up whole-hearted disciples of Jesus’ In this episode Wendy shares some reflections from this year's Rooted Discipleship School, a week-long event for believers aged 18-35. Jesus did so much in the space of seven days together that it’s hard to know where to start. Some key revelations stand out that are relevant to all believers, no matter what age you are: What is the heart journey and why is it so crucial for followers of Jesus? The importance of digging deep foundations The tragedy of houses that fall when storms hit Why culture is an absolute game changer Some of the fruit of hearts yielded to Him Whether you're just starting out in your faith or have been walking with Jesus for decades, the invitation is the same: to go deeper, to yield more fully, and to let Him build something unshakeable in you. As you listen, may your heart be stirred afresh to pursue Jesus with your whole life and join the movement of wholehearted disciples who are being rooted, built up, and released to carry His presence wherever they go. Key Scriptures: Luke 6: 43–45 - The fruit in our lives flows from our hearts Luke 6: 46-48 - Dig deep to lay foundations on solid rock Website - ⁠⁠wendymannequip.com⁠⁠ Rooted - ⁠⁠wendymannequip.com/rooted⁠ #WholeheartedDisciples #RootedDiscipleship #FollowJesus #HeartJourney #DigDeep #KingdomCulture #JesusFirst #ChristianPodcast #DiscipleshipMatters #FaithThatLasts #YieldedHearts #SpiritualFormation #UnshakeableFaith #YoungAdultsMinistry #PresenceDriven #ChurchCulture #RevivalGeneration #KingdomLifestyle #JesusCentred #RootedAndBuiltUp #TheWholeheartedDisciple

    Episode 6 - Culture that Transforms: Creating Environments Where People Flourish

    In this episode, we dive into what it really means to create a culture that helps people grow, thrive, and walk in freedom — starting with our own hearts. Culture isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a powerful environment-shaping force that influences how we live, lead, and disciple others. Drawing from our journey of shaping the culture of the Rooted Discipleship School, I share a practical process to help you define and live out the kind of culture you long to see — in your life, family, church, or team. Culture starts with you – You can’t cultivate externally what you’re not living internally. Keep it simple – Define your culture in 3–5 clear, memorable words. Vision fuels transformation – Give people a reason to embrace and stick with the culture. Make it practical – Unpack what each value looks like in real-life behaviour. Model it – People are shaped more by what you live than what you say. Repeat, repeat, repeat – Culture change takes time and consistent reinforcement. Whether you're a leader, parent, or someone hungry to see kingdom culture established around you, this episode will help you take tangible steps forward.

    Episode 4 - Worship: Wrestle with the One You Sing to

    In this episode, Jasmin (who’s part of the Rooted team) dives into the raw and often costly journey of worship. Worship isn’t always easy; sometimes, it’s a wrestle. If we can embrace the struggle, we get to see God more clearly and the fruit is greater intimacy with Him. Receive fresh faith for wrestling with God in worship Understand what wrestling with God might look like Learn from Simon Peter in Matthew 16 and Jacob in Genesis 32 Hear some of Jasmin’s own story of worshipping through a valley season Whether you’re on a mountaintop, in a valley, or somewhere between, this episode reminds us that those who walk with a limp often carry a story of intimacy with God. Worshipping with a whole heart might mean wrestling for it first, but in the end, it's worth it—because He is worth it.
