An Oily “No”

Let’s talk about the promise tucked inside 1 Peter 5:10. The Word says that after you’ve suffered a little while, God Himself will restore you, support you, strengthen you, and place you on a firm foundation. In this episode, I’m breaking down those four seasons: restoration, support, strengthening, and establishment, and helping you figure out which one you may be in right now. I’ll also give you some practical steps to lean into your season and move forward with faith. If you’ve been asking, “Lord, when will things turn around?”, this episode is your reminder that the suffering won’t last forever. Your after is coming, and it’s going to be worth it xoxo, Jess

In this episode, we’re talking about the kind of “no” that still carries oil. Sometimes God’s “no” doesn’t make sense in the moment, but it’s better to have a “no” that’s in His will than a “yes” that takes you outside of it. What if His “no” is preserving you, positioning someone else, or protecting you from settling for less than His Ephesians 3:20 promise? This one’s a reminder that how you respond to the “no” says more about your trust in God than the answer itself. Sis, even when you don’t understand the “no,” you can still rest in the One who gave it. Let’s unpack this together. xoxo, Jess

In this episode, I dive deep into the concept of "corrected vision" and explore how it can transform your life and purpose.

Have you been struggling with seeing yourself as God sees you? Let’s walk this journey together, and don’t forget to share this episode with others who might need a little clarity too. xoxo. Jess

In this episode, I’m diving into the story of Abraham in Genesis 22 and how his obedience, despite not knowing the full picture, teaches us so much about walking by faith when we can only see what's right in front of us. How often do we find ourselves focusing on closed doors and feeling stuck, not knowing where God is leading us? But just like Abraham, we’re called to trust that He’s working behind the scenes and leading us to something far beyond our limited vision. I’m sharing how we can shift our focus from the closed doors to the new possibilities God might be preparing, and the practical steps we can take to navigate moments of uncertainty with trust and obedience. In this episode, you’ll hear: How to trust God’s bigger plan, even when we can’t see the end result Why closed doors might be God’s way of protecting us from something we can’t yet understand 3 actionable steps to deal with limited vision and keep walking in faith If you’re feeling uncertain or stuck, this episode is for you.
