Not Just Talk with Jillian Ahonen

We live in a culture that puts a demand on our time; we often live our lives so stretched thin that we believe the only way to catch a breath is when we take a “much-needed” vacation.

But what about in the church?

Are we living under the same demand?

Are we feeling the pressure to be involved on a level that’s costing us our joy and peace?

The truth is, even in the church, there is an underlying do more in order to be enough message that puts a burden on God’s children that is not His heart and it’s time to take an honest look at the reason we might be saying yes when we should be saying no.

In today’s episode we dive into that very question, Are you saying yes when you should be saying no?

I believe this is a question we should be asking ourselves regularly, but more importantly, we should be checking in with God. He knows exactly what He has for each of us in season — His grace is sufficient.

I pray the Holy Spirit speaks to you through today’s episode, unlocking His joy and peace without end, setting you free in greater ways.

Much love, J

Do you realize that God does not want any one of us to live triggered? He filled us with the Holy Spirit and empowered us to live as new creations, but how do we get there?

How do we live as more than conquerors?

Well, we have to start recognizing those life-squeezing moments that trigger an emotional response out of us as the test that will lead us to spiritual growth and then pass the test!

If you’re ready to stop the excuses and live that empowered life in the Spirit that Jesus paid for, today’s podcast episode is for you!

God wants you to talk to Him.

He wants you to have enough faith to open His word and allow the Holy Spirit to become your teacher.

He wants you to go directly to Him with your questions …

Not Google them, ask a friend, or search something out on YouTube to gain information about Him — He wants to build a relationship with you, personally and intimately.

This is what Jesus paid for.

In today’s podcast episode, I share a season where I lived across the country, away from everything I had always known, and feeling pretty alone in my struggle, BUT GOD! I turned to Him, and He met me in a way that forever changed my walk with Him.

He wants the same with you.

Join me as I share my heart and what you can do to deepen your relationship with God today!

Are you in a season of transition, rebuilding, or having to start over in your career?

Life transitions and devastations can feel incredibly overwhelming, especially when you don’t have a vision.

In today’s episode of Not Just Talk, I share my personal story of how God breathed vision into my life after my entire world was shattered, and I had to start over from literally nothing. I believe as I share, the Holy Spirit is going to speak to you personally as He guides you from where you are currently, to where God wants to take you in this new season of life.

If you are not the one who’s experiencing a starting over season, but you know someone who is, take the time to share this podcast.

We live in a time where we have so much information on trauma-induced depression we’ve bought into a lie that says this is just part of what we will live with on this side of Heaven.

Many are left trying to function under depression, managing their way through it, and it’s not God’s heart for any one of us. As a child of God, filled with His mighty Spirit, you do not have to live under the heavy grips of depression. God knows everything you’ve been through, and it’s His will and desire to meet you right where you are and lift the weight of depression off you.

Join today’s conversation as I share, from my heart, a message of hope, victory, and freedom from depression!

How do we know if our church and/or our church community has become an idol in our lives?

It’s more common than we realize. This subtle “church idol” is one of the reasons why so many are not experiencing the fullness of peace, joy, and supernatural grace that empowers us to overcome anything we face in life. It’s time we all take an honest look into our hearts and make sure even good things are not in God’s place.

It’s so important to pause and reflect on our negative feelings and responses. Oftentimes negative feelings and responses indicate some unhealed hurt in our hearts that needs the healing touch of Jesus. God desires for us to become fully healed but to reach that place of freedom, we have to be willing to face the truth of our hearts and trust that God will heal us completely.

Join me today as I read a chapter from my book, Life is Muddy.

I pray today’s episode meets you powerfully!

Much love, J

Have you established your self-esteem on how you feel about yourself and what others have told you?

In today’s episode, I share a practical activity that you can apply in your own life, and how the Holy Spirit took me on a journey of revelation as He revealed the subconscious insecurities and fears I was living from that were blocking me from living by faith.

I went from a negative and toxic self-talk (that I didn’t even realize was there) and learned the power of God-talk that completely rewired my belief system until my thoughts were lined up with His.

This is His will for you too!

I invite you to listen to today’s episode and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you personally, and even reveal some areas where your subconscious thoughts about you are keeping you at war with God’s Truth.

I pray today’s conversation meets you powerfully!

Much love, J

In today’s episode, I share what my relationship with Jesus looks like and what He’s done in me and through me as I walk closely connected to Him.

I believe the Holy Spirit is going to speak to you powerfully; you are going to walk away from today’s message with a burning hunger that can only be satisfied by Him!

Hugs and blessings,

Jillian
