If you’ve ever struggled with being hard on yourself, feeling like you have to earn God’s approval, or battling shame in your business or calling, this conversation will meet you right where you are. Nicole shares how she helps women transform shame into joy and lies into love through a revelation of grace — and her story will deeply encourage anyone learning to release control and trust God’s pace.

Go behind the scenes of Operation Christmas Child with Kim Palmer — a Southwest Florida Area Coordinator who has spent the last five years helping mobilize churches, volunteers, and communities to send shoebox gifts around the world in Jesus’ name.

Kim pulls back the curtain on what most people don’t see:
📦 How a simple shoebox travels from a kitchen table in America to the hands of a child in poverty
🌍 What really happens during international distributions (including her recent vision trip to Johannesburg, South Africa)
💬 The stories of children whose lives were changed not just by gifts… but by the Gospel message that accompanies them
✝️ Why this ministry goes far beyond charity — and is actually a global evangelism and discipleship movement

We also have honest, thoughtful conversation about:
 ⚖️ The controversies and criticisms surrounding Operation Christmas Child
🤝 How Kim navigates concerns about cultural sensitivity, evangelism, and logistics
💡 Why she continues to believe deeply in both the mission and the impact of OCC after seeing it with her own eyes

Whether you’ve packed shoeboxes for years, questioned the model, or have never heard of this ministry before — this episode will open your eyes to what happens when ordinary people say yes to sharing the love of Jesus in practical, intentional ways.

🎁 If you’ve ever wondered, “Does a shoebox really make a difference?” — this episode is your answer.

In this episode, Janeen sits down with Courtney Powers, who grew up in a lukewarm-for-Jesus home and battled trauma, ADHD, depression, and anxiety—until one simple act of kindness changed everything.

After helping one family in 2014, God turned Courtney’s life upside down and launched a home-based ministry that blessed countless families across Ohio. From there, she and her family spent three years traveling the country in a camper, learning to trust God in every season. Now, she’s stepping into a new chapter—founding a nonprofit in Florida to serve families in need.

This is a story of obedience, redemption, and what happens when you say yes to God.

As Christian parents, many of us feel overwhelmed or unprepared when it comes to talking with our kids about sex, relationships, and God’s design for their bodies. Today’s guest, Kristen Miele, has spent 15 years as a sexual health educator and is the founder of Sex Ed Reclaimed. Her mission? To give parents the confidence, tools, and biblical foundation to have age-appropriate conversations with their kids from ages 3–18.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why Christian families need to reclaim sex education from culture and schools

The biggest misconceptions parents hold when it comes to these conversations

How to start age-appropriate talks with young kids (and what to do if you feel “too late”)

Practical tools for addressing pornography, gender identity, and tough cultural topics

How reclaiming sex ed is part of discipling the next generation

Kristen also shares how her video library equips parents with lifetime access to resources that make these conversations less awkward and more impactful.
