We are bringing back one of our favorite episodes!What if following Jesus was less about carrying responsibility and more about responding to invitation?In part one of this conversation, Jennie sits down with Jamie Winship to talk about identity - not as something we achieve, but something we receive. Jamie shares his story of becoming a police officer, working in war zones, and learning to bring who he is into what he does, rather than letting his work define him.Jamie introduces two simple questions that have reshaped how Jennie leads, decides, and lives: “God, what do you want me to know?” and “What do you want me to do?” This episode invites us to slow down, listen, and remember that God is not asking us to carry everything - He’s asking us to respond to Him. Resources & Links:Jennie’s new book "The Lie You Don't Know You Believe" is available for pre-order NOW - GRAB A COPY HERE!Join the fight clubFight Your Lie Tour Tickets hereREGISTER TO HOST AN IF:LOCALListen to more episodes: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeLearn More About JennieFollow Jennie on social:InstagramFacebook

In this episode, Jennie sits down with Judah Smith for an honest conversation about faith, leadership, pride, people-pleasing, and what it really means to stay spiritually healthy in public ministry. Judah shares vulnerably about his journey as a pastor, author, and leader navigating platform, criticism, and the tension between obedience to God and approval from people. Together, they explore how true spiritual formation is often hidden, slow, and deeply rooted in character, family, and presence with Jesus - not scale or success.Follow JudahFind Judah's Book Resources & Links:Jennie’s new book "The Lie You Don't Know You Believe" is available for pre-order NOW - GRAB A COPY HERE!Join the fight clubFight Your Lie Tour Tickets hereREGISTER TO HOST AN IF:LOCALListen to more episodes: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeLearn More About JennieFollow Jennie on social:InstagramFacebook

And God is raising up an army.Jennie shares the three core lies the enemy whispers - I am worthless, I am helpless, I am unlovable - and shows how each one shuts us down, keeps us stuck, and keeps us from stepping into the good works God has prepared for us.Resources & Links:Fight Your Lie Tour Tickets hereBe a part of what God is doing and give hereGet the 2026 Dream Guide hereREGISTER TO HOST AN IF:LOCALListen to more episodes: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeLearn More About JennieFollow Jennie on social:InstagramFacebookJennie’s new book "The Lie You Don't Know You Believe" is available for pre-order NOW - GRAB A COPY HERE!
