This episode is a little different.

More reflection than teaching.

More heart than structure.

2025 was that year for me—the kind where joy and grief overlap, and trusting God matters more than understanding Him.If that resonates, this episode is for you. 🎧

#ThatYearForMe #PodcastReflection #FaithInTheMiddle #GodIsFaithful #SteadfastLove #ChristianMentoring #LifeTransitions #TrustingGod

The middle season can feel heavy and lonely, but God is faithful through it all. In this final episode of our “In the Middle” series, Jennifer Spivey encourages believers to trust God’s presence, His timing, and His restoration—both now and beyond the middle.

January is loud.

Planners. Pressure. The urge to move fast and start strong.On this week’s episode of the Connect Podcast, we’re talking about why hurry is costly, why waiting is formative, and how choosing God’s pace may be the most faithful decision you make this year.I

f you’re feeling “pre-tired” already, this conversation is for you! Let's slow down and develop an unhurried faith together!

#UnhurriedFaith#ConnectPodcast#SlowDownWithGod#ChristianWomen#SpiritualFormation#FaithOverHustle#AbideInChrist#IntentionalLiving#WomenInMinistry#BeginningTheYearWell

Still in the first month of the new year—and already feeling the pressure to do more or be more?

What if the invitation this year isn’t to become more impressive… but more surrendered?

In this week’s episode of The Connect Podcast, we’re continuing the conversation on Resolution vs Reflection and leaning into a freeing truth:

✨ You don’t have to impress God.

✨ You are already loved.

✨ Obedience flows from identity—not performance.

If you’re tired of striving, comparison, or chasing validation, this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen now and reflect with me: Am I living to earn God’s approval—or from the assurance that I already have it?

As we step into a new year, so many of us feel the pressure to set resolutions—to do better, be better, try harder. But what if God is inviting us into something deeper?

What if 2026 isn’t about striving for change, but about becoming who we already are in Christ. Psalm 65:11 reminds us that God crowns the year with His goodness—not our willpower, not our perfectly executed plans.

Today I'm reflecting on choosing intimacy over pressure, formation over performance, and abiding over striving as we enter 2026. I’d love for you to join the conversation and reflect with me!
