Even in the Small Things | Faith, Meditation, and Mindfulness for Black Women

As a companion to Episode 6, this minisode takes us back to our roots, the first thing many of us were taught to do as a way to connect with God: prayer. Following the impulse to authentically share some of the challenges of her season of surrender, Jewelle reads three prayers from one of her favorite spiritual books: Prayers of Manifestation. These prayers, Fulfillment, Happiness, and Vocation instantly connect us to the powerful combination of words, a pure heart, and an earnest connection to God.

 Ever find yourself asking God for guidance, only to turn around and try to “help” Him carry it out? In this raw and revealing episode, Jewelle returns to the mic with an impromptu word straight from the wilderness of ego, obedience, and spiritual misalignment. Through tender storytelling and biblical reflection, she invites us into the sacred space of surrender once again —reminding us that God doesn’t need our help, our strategy, or our Plan B energy. He’s sovereign. He’s steady. And He’s not about to fight you for control.

If you’ve ever said you trust God, but still catch yourself sweeping up behind Him, rearranging the steps, and doubting His divine timing—press play. This episode is for anyone who’s ever let their ego edge God out, and knows the costly mistake of treating God’s plan like a back-up.

🔑 Key Message

God’s will is not a contingency plan. It’s the plan. Your job is not to figure out the how—it’s to follow with faith, obedience, and consistent trust.

✨ What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of this episode, you’ll see how:

✍🏾 Meant for your reflection:

As you listen, consider:

1. Where am I still trying to clean up behind God?

2. What’s one thing I can take my hands off of this week?

3. If I believed God had already solved it, how would I move differently?

Even in the Small Things family, can you believe we've been going strong for 10 weeks straight?! With 5 soul-stirring episodes and 5 supporting minisodes, we've gone from nothing to something in such a short time. We're halfway through season 1 and want to take the time to make sure that this podcast remains on mission and in service to you.

New episodes drop in October. In the meanwhile, relisten to and share your fave episodes! Tune into the minisodes too!

We'll be back! Until then, be well and remember, God is in the details.

As a companion to Episode 5, this minisode features a visualization-based nervous system practice called Leaps and Landings, adapted from the work of Deb Dana. This gentle exploration helps you examine the protective patterns that may be keeping you from receiving what you’ve been praying for—and supports you in safely imagining a new way of being.

Through four guided steps—observe, let go, leap, and land—you’ll build internal capacity to release old survival strategies and create space for what God is already trying to give you. This practice is especially powerful if you’ve been holding back from visibility, resisting abundance, or shrinking yourself to feel safe. You’ll be invited to breathe into safety, stretch into surrender, and open to divine readiness.

What if the only thing standing between you and the life you’ve been praying for… is your ability to receive it?

In this episode, I’m joined by bestselling author and leadership strategist Jacqueline V. Twillie to explore the final stage of divine co-creation: receiving. Together, we unpack how faith, energy, and embodiment all work together to prepare you for the blessings you’ve been calling in. Because sometimes the gap between your prayer and your reality isn’t about worthiness—it’s about readiness.

We talk about what it looks like to prepare in faith before the blessing arrives, how to align your vibration and emotions with your desires, and what it means to expand your nervous system to actually hold what you’ve been asking for. Whether you’re writing a book, building a business, or trusting God for overflow, this episode offers the spiritual and practical tools you need to meet your moment—and multiply it.

By the end of this episode, you’ll see how:

• ​Taking intentional action in advance of your blessing is an act of faith.
• ​Peace and emotional regulation are essential to becoming a vibrational match for what you want.
• ​Capacity building is both spiritual and practical—and it’s necessary to hold, steward, and multiply what you’re asking for.

Meant for your reflection:

As you listen, consider:

• ​What do I need to release to make space for what I’ve asked God for?
• Am I vibrationally aligned with my desires—or still anchored in fear, doubt, or lack?
• What does it look like to expand my capacity—emotionally, physically, spiritually—to receive?

S1M4 - As a companion to Episode 4, this minisode features a visualization-based meditation to help you align your manifestation with God’s will and guidance. While you visualize yourself posted on your rampart, you’ll draw near to God, share your questions and fears, ask for correction and clarity, and receive instruction on what to do—and what not to do—in service of the highest good.

If you are driving or doing any activity that requires you to be alert, you can certainly listen along, but please revisit this minisode when you can safely close your eyes and fully partake in the visualization.

S1E4: You’ve made the vision board, you’ve recited the affirmations, yet, the reality you’re manifesting keeps missing the mark? Maybe the missing link is...God.

In this episode of Even in the Small Things, we explore what it truly means to manifest with God. Using the story of the prophet Habakkuk as a spiritual anchor, Jewelle guides us through a spiritual process of listening, aligning, and trusting that manifestation is never separate from Divine partnership. This isn’t about chasing a life you think you want—this is about aligning with what God already has for you.

Tune in to learn a sacred five-step process for moving from divine instruction to divine fulfillment—while staying in alignment with spiritual law, energetic integrity, and God's perfect plan.

Key Message:

Real manifestation is never “in lieu of” God but always with God—when we align our desires to His heart, justice flows, visions come to life in His timing, and we become true co-creators, not counterfeit magicians.

By the end of this episode, you’ll see how:

• 1. The most powerful manifestations are born from obedience and intimacy with God.

  2. Honest communion with God is the starting point of divine co-creation

  3. Trusting in God’s sovereignty means surrendering the timeline, the outcome, and the illusion that you’re in control.

  
  Meant for your reflection:

  As you listen, consider:

  1. Where might you be trying to force what God is asking you to watch for?
     

  2. What would change if you waited on God’s instruction before taking action?
     

  3. Are you currently in position to receive divine vision—or have you been moving ahead of it?

If you are driving or doing any type of activity that requires you to be alert, you can certainly listen along, but I encourage you to revisit this minisode when you are able to safely close your eyes and fully partake in the visualization.

S1E3: In this episode, Jewelle is joined by wellness facilitator and body-mind expert, J. Chavae. Through sharing her personal experiences, J. Chave and Jewelle explore how the chakra system is a powerful tool for co-creating our reality with God. They discuss how balancing our energy centers helps us transform divine inspiration into tangible, everyday blessings. Together, they demystify the chakra system and reveal practical ways to make our inner landscape fertile ground for God’s will to easily manifest in our lives.

We unpack the spiritual, energetic, and practical intersections of faith and wellness, inviting listeners to see how tools like the chakra system can be aligned with Christian faith—not in opposition to it. If you’ve ever wondered how to bring your spiritual and creative life into deeper harmony, this is the episode for you.

Key Message

Co-creation with God begins within. When we tend to our inner world—healing, clearing, and aligning—we become open vessels for God’s guidance, blessings, and miracles to flow through.

By the end of this episode, you'll see how:

1. ​The chakra system is not anti-Christian; it’s an ancient tool to help us understand and tend to the body-mind-spirit connection God designed.
2. ​Healing our inner blocks and clearing emotional, energetic stuck points creates space for God’s will to manifest in our external lives.
3. ​Co-creation is a dance with the Divine—combining faith, obedience, trust, and aligned action.

Meant for your reflection:

As you listen, consider:

1. ​Where in my life do I feel spiritually or emotionally “blocked” — and how might God be inviting me to clear that space?
2. ​How can I honor my body as a sacred vessel for God’s love, guidance, and creativity?
3. ​What’s one area where I can practice co-creating with God this week — combining trust, healing, and aligned action?

S1M2: As a companion to Episode 2, this minisode features a mental reframing practice called “Choose Again”.  Since our choices and our actions reflect how we see ourselves and ultimately how we see God, this practice helps us learn how to  “make a better choice” anytime we forget our identity as God’s children. It teaches us how to shift from fear, doubt, and separation into love, trust, and connection and  helps us realign  with our Divine identity. 

Listen to the practice and remember you always have the opportunity to “choose again” anytime you serve up a thought or feeling that disconnects you from the truth that you are God’s child.
