  • Prison Psalms: The Faithful Prison Journey

    What happens when hope finds you behind bars?

    In this special episode of Found & Crowned, Jaira opens the pages of her book Prison Psalms and reads aloud her most personal poem: “The Faithful Prison Journey.”
    Written in a jail cell during one of the darkest seasons of her life, this raw and redemptive piece captures the moment faith was born from pain—when shackles became sacred and silence became a space for divine encounter.

    Jaira reflects on:

    • The early days of incarceration and spiritual awakening

    • The surprising ways God speaks through isolation

    • How poetry became her lifeline and prayer

    • The power of writing to process grief, shame, and hope

  • From Nobodies to Nations: The Jesus Way of Leadership

    What if true leadership has nothing to do with titles, talent, or ten-step plans—and everything to do with heart posture?

    In this powerful episode, Jaira unpacks what it means to lead like Jesus: with compassion, conviction, and courage. Forget the corporate ladder—this is about kingdom influence. Jesus didn’t pick the perfect team. He picked the overlooked, the unqualified, the messy—and turned them into a movement.

    Jaira gets real about:

    • The tension between running businesses and serving like Christ

    • How trauma, pride, and burnout reveal deeper heart issues in leaders

    • Leading teams with broken pasts, big personalities, and untold stories

    • What it means to build people, not just brands

    • Why legacy isn’t built on platforms—but on how you treat the least

    This one’s for the bosses with soft hearts, the healers in hustle culture, and the misfits turned mentors. If you feel called to lead differently, this is your confirmation.

    🕊️ Jesus didn’t build an empire—He built people. And they changed the world.

  • Stuck But Strong: Living with Grit in Seasons of Delay

    What do you do when freedom feels close—but not yet?
    When the door hasn’t opened, and the waiting gets heavy?

    In this raw and heartfelt episode, Jaira shares a letter written to her dear friend Elise, a fellow warrior still inside prison, awaiting transition to a halfway house. It’s more than a message—it’s a lifeline for anyone walking through delay, discouragement, or deferred dreams.

    Inside this episode:

    • What grit really looks like after prison (and in everyday life)

    • Why even the strongest women struggle in silence

    • Lessons from budgeting, forgiveness, and using ChatGPT after reentry

    • How Luke 6 and the L.O.R.D. formula helped Jaira endure hard seasons

    • A powerful reminder: You don’t have to be “out” to start healing

    This is for the women rebuilding, the brothers still inside, and the ones in life’s waiting room wondering: “When will it be my turn?”
    You’re not forgotten. There’s purpose in the pause—and strength in your surrender.

  • The Old Me Had to Die: Letting Go of Pride, Lies & People-Pleasing

    What happens when the need to be right costs you your peace?

    In this powerful and vulnerable episode, Jaira David peels back the layers of her former self—the one driven by control, performance, pride, and people-pleasing. She shares how these traits once dictated her relationships, fueled self-destruction, and masked her deepest wounds.

    But behind prison walls and in the quiet of spiritual awakening, something shifted.

    Drawing from John 3 and the story of Nicodemus, Jaira unpacks what it means to be truly born again. Not just behavior change—but heart transformation. She introduces the L.O.R.D. formula—Love, Obey, Rejoice, Daily Devote—as a practical daily guide to surrender the ego and walk in freedom.

    If you’ve ever:

    • Tried to control outcomes out of fear

    • Lost yourself in performance or people-pleasing

    • Felt stuck between who you were and who you're becoming
      This episode is a mirror—and a lifeline.

    🕊️ The old you may have survived—but she’s not called to lead your future.

  • When Life Feels Empty: Depression, Faith & the Search for Meaning

    Have you ever looked at your life and wondered… what’s the point?

    In this deeply honest episode, Jaira David sits in the silence most people avoid—the moments when life feels hollow, faith feels fragile, and even belief doesn’t make it easier to love others or yourself.

    Drawing from the raw reflections of Ecclesiastes, the heartbreak behind suicidal thoughts, and the tenderness of the woman with the alabaster jar, Jaira invites listeners into a sacred space of brutal honesty, gritty grace, and rediscovered purpose.

    This episode explores:

    • Why religious performance doesn’t heal a hurting soul

    • How depression and faith can coexist

    • What true meaning looks like when you’ve lost everything

    • Why loving like Jesus isn’t a feeling—it’s a choice

    • The powerful truth: You matter. Even when life feels meaningless.

    If you're a believer who’s burned out, a seeker in survival mode, or a woman rebuilding her faith after trauma—this is for you.

    🕊️ Sometimes, knowing you have a purpose is more powerful than knowing what it is.

    🎙️ Episode 2: Courage

    What separates a good life from a great one? One word: Courage.

    In this episode, Jaira David reflects on the quiet courage of her parents, her own journey through incarceration, and how courage isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s waking up and choosing light in the darkest places. From cultural truths about inaction to calling out passive faith, this is a raw, real talk about the kind of courage Jesus modeled — the kind that loves, forgives, and stands firm in conviction.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why surviving prison wasn't her bravest moment — but her parents’ response was

    • How cowardice can masquerade as people-pleasing

    • What it means to live a faith that moves

    • Why kindness is courage, and love is a battlefield worth stepping onto

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared, or silenced — this one’s for you.
