Number 1: 496 Hearing God Without Putting Words in His Mouth
Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! Have you ever wondered if that "gut feeling" is your intuition speaking, or if it's actually the Holy Spirit? This week, Alana and Jaime dive into an honest and thought-provoking conversation on how to tell the difference between human intuition and Holy Spirit discernment—and why confusing the two can actually be dangerous. In this episode, Alana and Jaime tackle the all-too-common Christian habit of "over-spiritualizing" our personal choices. They unpack the spiritual danger of using the phrase "God told me" to justify our own desires, make excuses for being flaky, or shut down disagreements. They explain why making God the "fall guy" for our decisions or personality quirks can border on taking His name in vain, and why it's okay to just want things without putting a divine stamp on them! Jaime also shares the personal story of her family's move to Alaska, revealing how she used scripture to seek confirmation when she wasn't sure if the decision was driven by a personal desire or a divine calling. Together, they explore the beautiful truth that intuition is a God-given gift designed to protect and guide us, and why honoring your gut instincts (like sensing an unsafe situation) doesn't have to conflict with your faith. Come listen and you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on the incredible freedom we have in Christ, a reminder of God's joyful and loving character, and practical wisdom on how to seek clarity when you aren't sure whose voice you're hearing.

Number 2: 497 Can Secular Music Point Us to God? Our Tribute to Dolly Parton
Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to worship God using a secular song, or if only Christian music can be used for prayer? This week, Alana and Jaime pay a heartfelt tribute to the late, great Dolly Parton, diving into a thought-provoking conversation on how to find the Holy Spirit in unexpected places—and how everyday music can become a powerful template for worship. In this episode, Alana and Jaime tackle the artificial divide between "sacred" and "secular" media that many Christians grew up with. They unpack the idea that if a song isn't promoting sin, it has the potential to draw us closer to the Lord, because we are called to do everything for His glory. They explain why taking pleasure in the beautiful, ordinary aspects of the human experience honors God's design for creativity, and why songs about family, unity, and love are deeply biblical. Jaime reflects on the spiritual themes in Dolly's "Coat of Many Colors" and shares a touching story about a crocheted prayer shawl given to her stepmom, highlighting how we can infuse our everyday actions with love and prayer. Alana then walks step-by-step through her personal method of using a physical Bible concordance to turn the lyrics of Dolly's "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" into an interactive, spiritually enriching journey through Scripture. You’ll walk away with a fresh appreciation for Dolly's beautiful legacy, a reminder of the incredible freedom we have to find God in all things, and practical wisdom on how to make everything—even a catchy tune—a springboard for prayer.

Number 3: 480 Praying Through Psalms 63: When God Says "Leave!"
Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! What do you do when God says “Leave” — calling you out of your safe stronghold into the open wilderness? Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 63 — The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God — a psalm born out of raw obedience in the wilderness of Judah, where David dares to leave the secure cave of Adullam and his band of four hundred loyal men at the prophet Gad’s command — and still sings for joy in the shadow of God’s wings. Jaime unpacks the historical backdrop from 1 Samuel 22–23, when David was fleeing Saul, had tucked his parents safely away, and had built a strategic military stronghold… only to hear God say, “Leave.” In that dry and weary land with no water, David’s soul thirsts for God more than his body thirsts for drink. He speaks truth before his emotions catch up, declaring that God’s covenant lovingkindness is better than life itself, lifting his hands in praise, clinging to the Lord, and choosing to meditate on Him through the fearful night watches. Come ready to look at your own strongholds — the places that feel secure, logical, and safe — and the moments when God calls you out into uncertainty. Let this psalm remind you that there is no truly secure place apart from Him. Because His lovingkindness is better than life, His wings are the only shelter you need, and in the wilderness, when your soul clings to the One whose right hand upholds you, you can still sing for joy.

Number 5: 495 How to See Your Hormones Through God Glasses with Bekah Yawn
Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! Are your hormones a biological burden, or are they a beautiful reflection of God’s divine design? This week, Bekah Yawn, host of the For the Love of Hormones podcast, joins Jaime for a deeply encouraging conversation on redeeming the way we view our fertility, our cycles, and the changing seasons of a woman’s life. In this episode, Bekah shares her powerful personal testimony of spending 14 years on birth control, suffering through three back-to-back miscarriages, and how God used that heartbreak to lead her toward fertility awareness methods, functional hormone healing, and eventually, her "triple rainbow baby." She unpacks the physical realities of "Post-Birth Control Syndrome"—including its hidden impact on the thyroid and gut—and offers practical advice for women who want to understand their bodies' natural rhythms. Bekah also tackles the profound spiritual significance of our hormones, explaining how every phase of life uniquely reflects the image of God—from the creative awakening of menarche and the sustaining love of the reproductive years, to the transition into the wisdom-bearing years of perimenopause and menopause. You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on the spiritual warfare surrounding female fertility, the beautiful truth that all women possess a God-given maternal capacity regardless of physical motherhood, and how to stop being a "silent partner" in your own healthcare.
