In this episode of The Jessica Jená Podcast, we’re talking about how to keep expecting God even when the answer feels delayed. If you’ve been praying, waiting, and wondering if God has forgotten you, this episode is for you. Jessica shares biblical encouragement from Isaiah 60:22 and Lamentations 3:25, along with practical ways to strengthen your faith, celebrate others without comparison, and trust God’s perfect timing. If you’re believing God for healing, restoration, breakthrough, or answered prayer, this conversation will remind you to keep praying, keep praising, and above all, keep expecting.

We’re wrapping up our journey through Philippians by diving into the final chapter and unpacking what it really means to rejoice in the Lord always, even when life doesn’t feel joyful. Together, we’ll talk about the importance of checking our thinking, choosing peace over anxiety, using the God-given authority we have in Christ, and embracing the often uncomfortable process of learning while unlearning. Sometimes God isn’t just teaching us something new; He’s helping us let go of old mindsets that no longer align with who He’s called us to be.

If you’ve been asking God to transform your mind, strengthen your faith, and help you finish this season well, this episode is for you. Let’s close out Philippians together with practical wisdom you can carry into your everyday life.

This week, we’re diving into Philippians 3 and asking some hard but necessary questions: Who has access to your ears? Is your flesh speaking, or is God’s Spirit leading? And where have you been placing your confidence?

Join me as we talk about auditing the voices we listen to, praying before we react, and learning to place our confidence in Christ rather than in ourselves. Friend, this episode is your reminder to quiet the noise, trust God’s leading, and keep pressing forward.

Peace is your portion. Let’s grow together.

In this episode of The Jessica Jená Podcast, we’re continuing our journey through the book of Philippians. Philippians 2 challenges us to examine our hearts, our motives, and the way we treat people. Are we living from a place of humility or selfish ambition? Are we only looking out for ourselves, or are we considering the needs of others? Let’s talk about the kind of mindset that reflects Christ and how we can live it out every day.

Have you ever found yourself in a season you didn’t choose? In Episode 1 of our Philippians series, we’re talking about what it looks like to trust God when life doesn’t go according to plan. Through Philippians Chapter 1, we’ll explore how God can use every season—even the difficult ones—to grow us, prepare us, and move His purpose forward. Friend, just because the story isn’t finished doesn’t mean God isn’t working.

In this episode, we’re praying for the woman who has been carrying too much for too long. The woman who is tired, discouraged by delay, overwhelmed financially, trying to get back into alignment with God, and believing Him for a new thing.

Sometimes life can leave you exhausted mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically… but even there, God still meets us.

This episode is a reminder that delay does not mean denial, exhaustion is not your permanent portion, and God is still able to renew, restore, provide, and redirect you.

Girlfriend, if you’ve been feeling heavy lately, this prayer is for you.

What have you been carrying that God never asked you to hold onto? In this episode of the Jessica Jená Podcast, we’re talking about the weight of worry, disappointment, fear, offense, pressure, and control…and how so many of us are exhausted because we’ve been carrying things that belong at God’s feet.

Sometimes we pray, but still carry the burden. We cry, but still hold onto the pain. We ask God for peace while refusing to release what’s been heavy on our hearts. But the Bible tells us to cast our cares on Him because He cares for us.

This episode is a reminder that you were never meant to carry everything alone. It’s time to stop holding what’s breaking you down and start trusting God enough to release it.

So, what have you been carrying that you should’ve been casting?

What do you do in the waiting season?

In this episode, I’m sitting in tension with you. The in-between time, the not yet time, the “God, I know You said it… But I don’t see it yet.” Inspired by Isaiah 40:31 and Psalms 27:14, we’re talking about what it really means to wait on the Lord… not passively, but with expectation, posture, and trust.

Because waiting isn’t punishment, it’s preparation.

While you wait, God is strengthening you.While you wait, He’s refining your heart.While you wait, He’s aligning things you can’t even see yet.

“Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart…” and that’s the part we don’t talk about enough. The strengthening happens in the wait.

So if you’ve been feeling weary, discouraged, or questioning if it’s ever going to happen for you… this episode is your reminder: don’t rush the process. There is purpose in your pause.

What if the very thing you prefer is the thing holding you back?

In this episode, we’re having a real conversation about how our preferenceslwhat we like, what feels comfortable, what we’re used to, can sometimes get in the way of what God is trying to do in our lives. Because let’s be honest… we love control. We love what makes sense to us. We love what feels good.

But what happens when God’s plan doesn’t match our preference?

I’m sharing how choosing comfort over obedience can delay growth, keep you in cycles, and even cause you to miss what God has already prepared for you. This is your reminder that purpose will require stretching, surrender, and sometimes saying no to what you want so you can receive what you need.

So ask yourself:Are you choosing what’s familiar… or what’s faithful?
