In this episode we are talking about walking in your purpose and how important it is not just for you, but for the people God has assigned to you. When we don’t step into our calling, we’re not just holding ourselves back, we’re holding others back too! God has equipped you for something bigger, and it’s time to get in position so that you can help unlock the purpose in others. I can’t wait for you to hear this episode—it’s going to challenge and encourage you to take that next step. So, grab your journal and let’s grow together! xoxo, Jess

In this episode, we’re diving into a powerful truth: purpose doesn’t always fit the aesthetic. So often, we have this picture in our minds of how our lives and dreams should look, but the reality can be completely different. Let’s talk about how mindful God is of you—He sees you, knows you, and cares about every detail of your life. You’re not just another face in the crowd; you’re uniquely created with a divine purpose that’s all your own. We’ll also explore the abundance of what God has for you. He desires to bless you beyond what you can imagine, and it’s time to step into that fullness! And here’s the best part: peace is your portion. Even when life doesn’t go as planned, you can find comfort and strength in trusting God’s perfect plan. Join me for a heartfelt conversation that will encourage you to embrace your unique journey and lean into the incredible life God has designed just for you. If you’re ready to redefine your understanding of purpose and walk boldly in faith, you won’t want to miss this episode! xoxo, Jess

Chiiiille, not a whole bonus episode?! This week's bonus episode is inspired by a recent sermon from my pastor that shook me to my core. We’re diving deep into a mindset shift that God is calling us to make. Let me ask you – do you have a mindset for more? Sometimes, the way we think isn’t just off, it’s flat-out stinking! And in this season, God is about to wreck our thinking in the best way possible. Just because you don’t think bad doesn’t mean you’re thinking right! Your thoughts could be keeping you stuck, settling for a life beneath what God has planned for you. We’ll talk about how fighting spiritual battles with worldly weapons is stealing your peace, and how God can overcome what’s overwhelming you. And here’s the big question for today: Is it your plan, or is it God’s will? Let’s get real, shake up our mindset, and make room for the life God truly wants for us. xoxo, Jess

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into a question that’s been on my heart: Do you sound like your healing or your wounds? Isaiah 1:6 paints a vivid picture of what happens when we walk around with unhealed hurts, and honestly, it’s something I think we all need to reflect on. We’ll discuss how unaddressed wounds can sneak into our words and how we show up in the world. Most importantly, we’ll explore how God wants to restore those broken places. If you’re ready to start sounding like your healing and not your past pain, I’ve got some practical steps and spiritual truths to help you get there. So grab your coffee, get comfy, and let’s talk about the healing process God wants for each of us. You don’t want to miss this one! And hey, if this speaks to you, share it with a friend who might need some encouragement too. Let’s heal and grow together! xoxo, Jess

In this episode, we’re diving deep into how we try to fill the voids in our lives—and how those choices impact our relationship with Christ. Whether it’s the quick fix of distractions or relying on God only in times of crisis, we’re breaking down how these habits leave us empty. But here’s the good news: Jesus offers us something far greater. We’ll talk about how you can shift your mindset, embrace daily habits that deepen your walk with Him, and get in position to receive all that God has for you. Are you ready for that new thing He’s doing? Let’s go! xoxo,Jess 💕

God has more for you than what you are currently settling for. This isn't just a word for you but it's also a word for me too. I pray that we don't get weary in the wait. xoxo, Jess

Hey y'all! I'm so excited to dive more into the topic of identity. This week, we're exploring the power of knowing who we are in God and how it shapes our lives. Last week, we talked about the dangers of not knowing our identity, using Queen Vashti as an example of standing up for what’s right, even at a great personal cost. This week, we’re diving into 1 Samuel and learning from David’s story. David knew his identity in God, and it equipped him to face giants—literally and figuratively. I encourage you to do some heart work this week. Ask God to reveal anything that needs to be removed from your heart and to show you whose armor you need to take off. Let’s step into our God-given identities together! I pray this episode blesses you and helps you see yourself as God sees you. Remember, you are here on purpose, for a purpose.

In this episode, we’re tackling the exhausting pursuit of perfectionism and discovering the freedom that comes with embracing our true, imperfect selves. Drawing inspiration from Jeremiah 18:1-5, we’ll explore the powerful imagery of the potter’s wheel, a beautiful reminder that God shapes and molds us through our flaws, not despite them. Perfectionism often masks our real struggles, making it hard for us to find genuine healing and growth. But here's the truth: God can't heal what we won't reveal. By clinging to perfection, we deny ourselves the opportunity to experience His transformative power. Join me as we break free from the chains of perfectionism, uncover the beauty in our brokenness, and learn to reveal our authentic selves. It’s time to let go of perfect and embrace the true freedom that comes with vulnerability. Tune in and let’s start this journey together. xoxo, Jess

Hey girlfriends! Welcome back to another episode of our podcast! I'm Jessica, and today we’re talking about something really close to my heart: who we let into our lives and the importance of having friends who can carry us when we need it most. Have you ever heard the story from Luke 5 about the paralyzed man whose friends carried him to Jesus for healing? It’s such a powerful reminder of the impact true friends can have. These friends didn't just offer words of encouragement; they physically carried their friend to the place where he could be healed. That’s the kind of friendship we all need—the kind that lifts us up when we can’t lift ourselves. In this episode, I’ll be sharing why it’s crucial to be intentional about who we allow access to our hearts and minds. We’ll talk about how to recognize those friends who are truly there for you, and how to nurture those relationships. Remember, it’s not about having a ton of friends, but having the right ones who genuinely support and uplift you. I’m really excited to dive into this topic with you all. So, if you find value in this episode, please make sure to subscribe, rate, and leave a review. Your feedback means the world to me and it helps others discover the podcast too. Let’s keep lifting each other up, one episode at a time. Thanks for listening! xoxo, Jessica

In this episode, we're diving deep into something we all experience but might not always think about: perspective. It's crazy how much our viewpoint shapes everything, right? From how we see ourselves to how we interact with the world around us, perspective is like our personal lens on life. Join me as I talk about real stories and personal experiences that show just how much perspective matters. We'll talk about how it influences our choices, relationships, and even our ability to bounce back from tough times. Plus, we'll share some practical tips on how to shift your perspective when you need a new outlook. Get ready to see things in a whole new light as we explore the power of perspective together. Because when we open our minds to different viewpoints, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities. xoxo- Jess

This week, we're delving deep into the importance of leaving your mark. Join me as we explore the profound significance of making an impact that points others back to Jesus. Throughout history, individuals like Moses, King David, and Esther have left lasting legacies that echo through the ages. But what can we learn from their examples? In this episode, we'll reflect on the lives of these biblical figures and discuss how their actions ultimately led people closer to God. For me, leaving our mark shouldn't be about seeking recognition for ourselves; instead, it's about embodying the love and teachings of Jesus Christ in everything we do. Through thought-provoking insights, we'll challenge ourselves to consider how we're leaving our own marks in the world. Join me as we explore what it means to live a life that reflects the light of Christ. And don't forget to subscribe to The Jessica Jena Podcast for more uplifting conversations every week!
