    Obedience Before Clarity w/ Jessica DeYoung | Ep 114

    In Episode 114 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with Jessica DeYoung (founder of the Made Whole Movement and host of Perspectives into Practice) to talk about obedience when you don’t have the full picture. Jessica shares a simple but challenging truth: obedience comes before clarity. God often gives the next step, not the whole map. Together they unpack how to discern God’s voice in real life, including a practical three-part filter: does it align with Scripture, does it produce peace over time, and does it require trust? Jill and Jessica also discuss how fear can masquerade as “wisdom,” why relief isn’t the same as peace, and how doing nothing can still be a form of disobedience. The conversation is a reset for anyone feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure, inviting listeners to deepen relationship with God and take the next faithful step. ****** PODCAST SHOW NOTES: Full episodes now out on YouTube! ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) 🎧 Listen onApple Spotify 🙏Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) 💌 Questions/Guest Requests ****** 🩵 ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.

    ✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE In Episode 113 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with Jennifer Bosma, host of the Front Parking Spot podcast, to talk about living out faith at home and moving from religion and “should dos” into a real relationship with Jesus.

They talk about getting in the Bible consistently, recommending tools like The Bible Recap and Bible in One Year (Nicky & Pippa Gumbel), and why you don’t have to wait for anyone else to build your faith.

Anita also shares about her family and the beautiful redemption of restored relationship.

    Stop Counting Yourself Out w/ Heather Day | Ep 111

    ✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE In Episode 111 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with Heather Day (Barnabas Foundation; author of Money and Spirit) for a conversation about authentic faith, trust, and obedience, especially in the everyday places we often try to control. Heather shares what it looks like to surrender your finances to God through the work of the Holy Spirit (not a “health and wealth” message), and how inviting God into money decisions changes the way we view and manage what we’ve been given. They also talk about calling and insecurity and those moments when you feel unqualified, yet sense God’s calm assurance to take the next step. Along the way, Heather offers a simple framework for sharing your story (“feel, felt, found”) so you can encourage others without oversharing. This episode is for anyone longing to trust God more deeply in real life. ****** PODCAST SHOW NOTES: Full episodes now out on YouTube! ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) 🎧 Listen onApple Spotify 🙏Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) 💌 Questions/Guest Requests ****** 🩵 ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.

    Joy Without Pretending w/ Kyleigh Rose | Ep 110

    ✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE In Episode 110 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with Kyleigh Rose to talk about real joy, the kind of joy that doesn’t pretend everything is fine, but chooses hope in the middle of what’s hard. Kyleigh shares honestly about seasons of shame and guilt, trying to “do enough” to make the weight of all of it go away, and how God met her through grace, surrender, and community. Together they unpack what it looks like to follow joy without faking it: receiving God’s love instead of performing, staying connected to God even when you feel spiritually numb, and trusting that God’s grace is sufficient in weakness. This conversation is gentle, practical, and deeply encouraging for anyone who feels distant from God, stuck in regret, or longing for joy that’s honest and lasting. ****** PODCAST SHOW NOTES: Full episodes now out on YouTube! ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) 🎧 Listen onApple Spotify 🙏Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) 💌 Questions/Guest Requests ****** 🩵 ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.

    When Joy Feels Impossible w/ Wanda Thibodeaux | Ep 109

    ✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE In Episode 109 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with writer and podcast host Wanda Thibodeaux for a refreshingly honest conversation about joy, especially when trauma and grief are part of your story. Wanda shares how joy doesn’t require denying pain, and why unresolved grief often keeps us anchored in the past. Together they talk about practical ways to “train your brain” toward what’s good and beautiful, including Philippians 4:8 as a guide for refocusing your mind when life feels overwhelming. Wanda offers simple, grounded examples (like noticing small comforts in hard seasons) and reframes joy as something you can practice without minimizing suffering. This episode is for anyone who wants to experience God again in the middle of real life: not through pretending, but through healing, honesty, and small daily steps toward hope. ****** PODCAST SHOW NOTES: Full episodes now out on YouTube! ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) 🎧 Listen onApple Spotify 🙏Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) 💌 Questions/Guest Requests ****** 🩵 ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.

    Convictions & Compassion w/ Rick Hamlin | Ep 108

    ✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE In Episode 108 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with author and longtime Guideposts editor Rick Hamlin to talk about following Jesus in a divided, discouraging world without losing compassion. Rick shares the heart behind his devotional Everlasting Jesus: 40 Days of Timeless Wisdom for Modern Living and offers practical rhythms for modern life: making “alone time,” starting the day with a devotional and a psalm, and choosing “good news” before the daily news cycle tears your peace apart. They talk about holding space (pausing long enough to savor God’s work instead of rushing past it) and living with “proximity,” where compassion becomes real through small acts of kindness and presence with others’ pain. This episode is a steady, practical reset for anyone feeling hurried, distracted, or spiritually dry, and it invites listeners to follow Jesus with love in everyday life. ****** PODCAST SHOW NOTES: Full episodes now out on YouTube! ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) 🎧Listen onApple Spotify 🙏Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) 💌 Questions/Guest Requests ****** 🩵 ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.

    Good vs God Things w/ Robert Bass | Ep 107

    ✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE In Episode 107 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with pastor and author Robert Bass to talk about living with purpose without losing intimacy with God. Robert shares how easy it is to become busy, overwhelmed, and focused on our own agenda, doing “good things,” yet not experiencing the fruit, joy, and peace we’re longing for. They explore the idea behind Robert’s book Hidden Fruit and what it looks like to invite the Holy Spirit into everyday life so spiritual fruit isn’t just something we talk about, but something we actually live. The conversation touches on slowing down, building rhythms that don’t box us in, reading Scripture with intention (Robert mentions Psalm 23 as an example), and discerning God’s voice in practical ways. This episode is a reset for anyone who feels spiritually dry, distracted, or stuck in the busy trap. ****** PODCAST SHOW NOTES: Full episodes now out on YouTube! ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) 🎧Listen onApple Spotify 🙏Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) 💌 Questions/Guest Requests ****** 🩵 ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.
