August 13 The Holy Pause That Changed Everything | Healing After a Breakup, Heartbreak & Toxic Relationships
I’m back, sis. ❤️
After three months in a Holy Pause—a season of consecration, surrender, and getting quiet with God—I’m finally back behind the microphone.
And I’m not coming back as the same woman who stepped away.
In this episode, I’m opening up about what happened during those three months and sharing parts of my story I haven’t really talked about here before.
I grew up in religion, spent years searching for freedom and validation in the world, and eventually discovered something that changed everything: grace.
I’m imperfect. That’s exactly why I need Jesus.
During this Holy Pause, God began revealing just how much of my life had been shaped by survival, people-pleasing, perfectionism, fear, control, and the need to hold everything together. I had spent years trying to fix things I was never meant to fix—and even trying to save myself.
Then came a night of raw honesty with God.
Face-first on my pillow, crying out for Him to heal the places in me I could no longer carry, something broke. I stopped trying to put all the pieces of my life together and surrendered them to the One who could.
I laid things on the altar.
Including expectations.
Because sometimes God asks us to surrender more than our sin. Sometimes He asks us to surrender our plans, our timelines, our need for control, and even the things we desperately want Him to do.
And somewhere in that surrender, I found a peace I had never known before.
This episode is also a reintroduction to Girl, Date the Good Guy and the beginning of a new season.
We’re talking about the heart behind this podcast, what God has been birthing during my Holy Pause, and why I believe this space is becoming something bigger than dating.
We’re talking about The Holy Rescue.
A place for the woman sitting in the wreckage of a breakup.
The woman healing from heartbreak.
The woman trying to recover from a Toxic Relationship.
The woman looking back and wondering why she ignored the Red Flags.
The woman with a Broken Heart who isn't sure what comes next.
If that's you, I want you to know something:
God meets you right where you are.
You don't have to have it all figured out before you come to Him.
You don't have to be perfect.
You just have to come.
This is your holy space to heal, rise, and love again.
This time... with God.
In this episode:
• Why I stepped away for three months
• What God revealed to me during my Holy Pause
• Growing up in religion and discovering grace
• People-pleasing, perfectionism, and living from survival mode
• The night I finally surrendered everything to God
• What it means to lay expectations on the altar
• Why this podcast is about more than dating
• The beginning of The Holy Rescue
• What's coming next for Girl, Date the Good Guy
• The Holy Rescue Love Letters and The Vault
• Why we're moving to one new episode every Thursday at 5:00 AM
This is your Holy Rescue. 🤍
I'll see you next Thursday at 5:00 AM.

June 17Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes: Breaking Cycles Through Surrender
Have you ever felt like you're walking in circles, repeating the same patterns, facing the same struggles, and wondering why nothing seems to change?
In today's episode, I'm sharing a powerful lesson God has been teaching me during this season of consecration and surrender:
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Through a personal conversation with my daughter, a question from a coworker, and my own testimony of breaking free from a 20-year cycle, we'll talk about what it really takes to move forward into God's promises.
The truth is, lasting change doesn't come from trying harder—it comes from surrendering our plans, our timelines, and our will to God.
If you've been circling the same mountain for far too long, this episode is for you.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
Why repeating the same actions produces the same results
The spiritual danger of staying stuck in familiar cycles
What God showed me during this season of consecration
The conversation with my daughter that inspired this message
Why surrender is the key to breakthrough
How the Israelites wandered in the wilderness because of unbelief
Learning to release your plans and trust God's direction
Recognizing when God may be redirecting your path
My personal testimony of breaking free from a toxic 20-year cycle
Exciting updates about the future of the podcast and my upcoming book
Key Scriptures
Deuteronomy 2:3
"You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north."
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."
Matthew 6:33
"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Takeaway
Sometimes the breakthrough you've been praying for is waiting on the other side of surrender.
You don't have to keep circling the same mountain.
God has a plan, a purpose, and a path forward for your life—but it requires trusting Him enough to let go of your own.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
And nothing truly changes until we place God first.
Podcast & Book Update
As I continue this season of consecration, I'll be simplifying my schedule, preparing for the relaunch of the podcast, and finishing the manuscript for my very first book.
Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and support during this exciting season. I can't wait to share what's coming next.
Connect
Stay tuned for upcoming announcements about the podcast relaunch, book release, and future opportunities to connect, receive prayer, and grow together in faith.
If this episode encouraged you, be sure to share it with a friend who may need this reminder today.
I love you, sis. I'll talk to you soon.

This is your Holy Rescue. 🤍
I'll see you next Thursday at 5:00 AM.

May 13Where I’ve Been: My Season of Consecration, Obedience, and Hearing God Clearly
In this intimate check-in episode of Girl, Date the Good Guy, Emily shares a heartfelt update after stepping away from the podcast for a season of consecration. If you’ve ever felt led to pull back, get quiet, and reconnect with God—but didn’t fully understand why—this conversation will meet you right where you are.
Emily opens up about what the last few weeks have looked like behind the scenes: a season of deep spiritual growth, surrender, and transformation. What started as a step of obedience turned into a powerful encounter with God—one marked by stripping away old patterns, renewing identity, and receiving fresh clarity and direction.
This episode is a reminder that seasons of stillness are not empty—they are sacred.
You’ll also hear a special announcement about a book being written in this very season, inspired by what God is revealing in the quiet, and deeply connected to the real, raw journeys of the women in The Good Guy Society community.
Rooted in Jeremiah 33:3, this episode speaks to the power of calling on God and receiving personal, specific direction for your life. Your story is not a copy of someone else’s—God is writing something intentional just for you, but it requires you to lean in and listen.
This is your invitation to slow down, seek Him, and trust what He is doing—even when it’s unseen.
✨ What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
What a true season of consecration looks like in real life
Why God sometimes calls you into silence and separation
How to hear God more clearly in the quiet
Letting go of old patterns, mindsets, and emotional attachments
Trusting God’s timing when you feel “in between”
Why your personal story and journey with God matters
The role of the Holy Spirit as your true Teacher and guide
This is your Holy Rescue. 🤍
I'll see you next Thursday at 5:00 AM.

April 22When God Calls You to Let Go and Enter a Season of Consecration
Have you ever felt God asking you to let something go… and it didn’t make sense?
In this deeply personal and Spirit-led episode of Girl, Date the Good Guy, we’re talking about what it really means to enter a season of consecration—when God calls you to step back, surrender control, and trust Him in the unknown.
This isn’t about losing something.
It’s about being refined, realigned, and prepared for what God has next.
Emily shares her own journey of being led into a season of stillness, what it looks like to release your grip on relationships, purpose, or plans, and how to hear God clearly when He calls you into the quiet.
If you’ve been feeling a pull to slow down, step back, or lay something at God’s altar… this episode is your confirmation.
👑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode
What a season of consecration really means and why God calls you into it
How to surrender control to God when you’re afraid to let go
Why stillness and solitude are necessary to hear God clearly
How unhealed areas can keep you stuck in repeating cycles
What it looks like to trust God even when you don’t know the outcome
🔥 Key Takeaways
Surrender is not loss—it’s alignment with God’s will
You cannot hear God clearly when your life is full of noise
God uses seasons of stillness to refine, heal, and prepare you
What you refuse to heal, you will repeat
Obedience opens the door for God to move in your life
📖 Scriptures Referenced
Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

April 17How to Heal Your Identity After a Breakup (Breaking Toxic Relationship Labels)
Have you ever looked in the mirror after a breakup and didn’t recognize the woman staring back at you?
Toxic relationships don’t just break hearts… they blur identity. They slowly introduce lies like “I’m not enough,” “I’m too much,” or “I’m hard to love”—until you start questioning who you really are.
In this episode of Girl, Date the Good Guy, we’re stepping into deep healing and restoration as we talk about what it means to reclaim your identity after toxic love.
This is not just about moving on from a relationship…
it’s about moving back into the woman God originally created you to be.
Together, we’re breaking agreement with the lies, releasing the version of you that survived toxicity, and anchoring your identity in Christ—not your past, not your mistakes, and not what someone else projected onto you.
You’ll learn how to:
Identify the lies toxic relationships plant in your identity
Release shame and forgive your past self with compassion
Rebuild your identity on biblical truth and God’s Word
Recognize how healing reshapes what you’re attracted to
Begin practical steps to restore your self-worth daily
Scripture reference: Psalm 139:14, 1 Corinthians 6:20, Galatians 5:22–23
This episode is your reminder that you are not damaged—you are deeply known, fully loved, and already called chosen.
Reflection Question
What lie from your past relationship are you still unconsciously believing about yourself?
Holy Assignment
This week:
Write down the identity lies you’ve carried
Write a forgiveness letter to your past self
Speak God’s truth over yourself daily using Scripture

This is your Holy Rescue. 🤍
I'll see you next Thursday at 5:00 AM.

April 11The Softness You Buried: How God Heals a Hardened Heart For Healthy Love
Have you ever felt like you had to harden your heart just to survive what you went through?
In this Soothe Her Soul Saturday, we’re having a real, soul-deep moment about the softness you didn’t lose—but buried. The tenderness you tucked away after heartbreak, disappointment, and loving people who didn’t know how to love you back.
Sis… this is your Holy Pause—your moment to exhale and let God meet you right where you are.
Through Ezekiel 36:26, we’re reminded that God is not asking you to stay guarded forever. He’s gently restoring your heart—removing the hardness that came from survival and replacing it with a heart that can feel, love, and trust again… this time with wisdom, discernment, and His covering.
This episode is for the woman who:
Feels emotionally guarded after a toxic relationship
Struggles to trust or open her heart again
Is healing from heartbreak but doesn’t want to lose her softness
Desires God-led love but is afraid of being hurt again
You’ll be reminded that your softness is not a weakness—it’s something God is restoring and protecting.
What You’ll Receive in This Episode:
Encouragement for healing after emotional pain and toxic love
Truth about why you hardened your heart—and why it’s safe to soften again
A faith-based perspective on emotional healing and restoration
A gentle reminder that God is your safe place first
Key Scripture:
📖 Ezekiel 36:26 — “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you…”
Closing Note:
Sis, you don’t have to stay guarded to stay safe.
God is restoring your heart… and this time, your softness is covered. 👑🤍

This is your Holy Rescue. 🤍

About Girl, Date the Good Guy ™ | Toxic Relationship, Breakup, Heartbreak, Broken Heart, Red Flags

From the publisher's feed

So... you're fresh out of a breakup, sitting in heartbreak, healing from a broken heart after a toxic relationship, or finally seeing the red flags you missed along the way.

Or maybe you've finally found a good man, but you can't stop crashing out because safe love feels scary.

If you're asking yourself, "Where do I go from here?"

Sis... welcome to your Holy Rescue.

Girl, Date the Good Guy is a Christian podcast for women healing after heartbreak who are ready to stop the bleeding, surrender the past, draw closer to God, renew their minds through His truth, and step into Holy Alignment so they can recognize, receive, and build Holy Love... this time, with God.

Hi, I'm Emily Jordan. I have mud on my boots, scars on my heart, and I know what it feels like to be in the trenches.

I've stood where you're standing - the heartbreak, the confusion, the overthinking, the disappointment, and the moments you wonder if you will ever feel like yourself again.

But I have also experienced what happens when you finally surrender control, give God the pen, and lay everything at the altar so He can do the healing only He can do.

Because here's the truth: You cannot hold the promise while you’re still bleeding from the past.

Together, we'll heal what heartbreak tried to destroy, evict the squatters in our minds, strengthen our relationship with God, learn to hear His voice, sharpen our discernment, break unhealthy cycles, and date from healing—not our wounds.

Are you ready for your Holy Exhale?

Let's heal.

Let's rise.

And when God says it's time...

Let's love.

Welcome to Girl, Date the Good Guy.

Your Holy Rescue begins now. 👑🤍

New episodes drop every Thursday at 5 AM.
