  • Mean Girls...and our Goal of Becoming a Kind One

    Most women have been hurt by another woman at some point. But instead of only talking about the “mean girls,” this episode asks a harder and more important question: How can we become women who are truly kind?

    In this episode, we’ll look at what biblical kindness really means, how comparison, insecurity, gossip, and exclusion can quietly take root, and how the kindness of God can change the way we treat others.

    Let’s become women who make people feel seen, loved, and a little more hopeful after being with us than before they ever met us.

  • Why Can't I Stop Doom-Scrolling?!!

    Why is it so hard to stop scrolling, even when what we’re seeing is making us anxious, discouraged, or overwhelmed?!!

    In this episode, we’re talking about doomscrolling: why our brains keep reaching for more information, how constant negative content affects our peace, focus, and emotional health, and why scrolling rarely gives us the comfort we’re actually looking for.

    We’ll also explore practical ways to break the habit, create healthier boundaries with our phones, and learn to pause long enough to recognize what our hearts truly need. Because sometimes the most helpful thing we can do is put the phone down, quiet the noise, and spend a few moments with the One who already knows exactly what we’re carrying.

  • Wounds of a Friend...

    We all want people who will pray for us, encourage us, celebrate us, and stand beside us. And we should want those things. They are beautiful gifts in friendship...

    But do we also have someone in our life who can say, “I love you, but I think you may be wrong here”? And if so - are we willing to listen?

  • When The Loss Feels Too Heavy

    Some losses feel too heavy to carry, and sometimes the pain does not lift as quickly as we hoped it would. In this episode, Jayne shares biblical encouragement for the moments when grief feels overwhelming and reminds us that God is not asking us to pretend we are okay. He meets us in our sorrow, carries what we cannot, and stays close to the brokenhearted. Even in the deepest loss, you are not alone, and hope is still here.

  • You Don’t Have to Solve It Tonight

    What do you do when your mind won’t stop replaying, analyzing, and imagining every possible outcome? In this episode, we talk about overthinking, taking our thoughts captive, and learning to trust God without pretending anxiety disappears overnight. You do not have to solve everything tonight. God is already holding what you cannot control.

  • How can I make sure my child has a really boring testimony?

    This morning, someone asked me a question that was both sweet and deeply honest. She said, “How can I make sure my child has a really boring testimony?”

    And I knew exactly what she meant...

    She was not saying she wanted her child’s life to be dull. She was not asking for a life with no purpose, no passion, no impact, and no story to tell.

    What she meant was, “How do I keep my child from having to be rescued from something devastating?”

    How do I keep them from addiction?

    How do I keep them from rebellion?

    How do I keep them from making choices that leave scars?

    How do I help them love Jesus early, walk with Him faithfully, and avoid some of the pain that so many people experience before they finally come home to God?

    I understood the heart behind her question because I think most Christian parents have prayed some version of it. I know I have - and in this episode I try to answer it. ;-)

  • Are you spiritually parenting alone? Be encouraged!

    There is a kind of loneliness that can be difficult to explain to people who have never experienced it. It is the loneliness of trying to raise children to know and love Jesus when you feel like you are the only adult in your home who is intentionally pointing them toward Him.

    You may be a single mom doing everything on your own. You may be widowed or divorced. Or you may be married, but when it comes to prayer, church, spiritual conversations, and helping your children understand who God is, you feel like you are carrying that responsibility by yourself.


    You're so not mama, the Champion of Heaven is championing YOU!

  • Why Can’t I Let This Go?

    What do you do when you know you need to let something go, but your heart keeps picking it back up? In this episode, Jayne shares biblical encouragement for releasing hurt, regret, bitterness, and unanswered questions into God’s hands. Letting go does not mean pretending it never happened—it means refusing to let the past control your future. With Jesus, healing may be a process, but freedom is still possible
