My vision for Rooted and Radiant is that it helps you cultivate trust in God's presence in every circumstance of your life. In this re-release episode, "Hope in Heaven," you can listen in as I talk to my daughter Caroline about grief and hope. She shares her journey through the valley of the shadow of death after losing her brother James. I believe this conversation is very powerful, and if you know someone who is grieving, I strongly encourage you to share it with them.FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)

As we continue to re-release some of our most powerful episodes, I'm excited to revisit my conversation with my dear friend, coworker, and sister in Christ, Wendy. Her story of walking through a wilderness journey is both raw and transformative.In this episode, Wendy shares how God was her constant source of hope during her darkest moments. We talk about the promises she held close to her heart and how God's presence illuminated her path, even when she couldn't see the way forward. Wendy's journey is a testament to God's faithfulness, and her story will remind you that no matter how deep the darkness may seem, God's light will never fail to break through. If you're navigating your own wilderness season, this episode is a must-listen.FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)

This week, we're re-releasing another listener favorite, where I sit down with my good friend Margaret to discuss the profound impact of prayer and the importance of having prayer partners. Jesus said, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them" (Matthew 18:20, NIV). In this episode, we explore how prayer is not about perfection but about connection. Whether you're feeling soul-weary or simply want to deepen your prayer life, this conversation will inspire you to embrace the power of prayer in a whole new way.

As Rooted and Radiant prepares to launch Season Three on October 1, 2024, I'm reflecting on our journey and how far we've come since February 2023. In this re-release, I'm excited to revisit one of our most impactful episodes: my very first podcast with my youngest daughter, Carter. This episode remains our most downloaded, and Carter's message on waiting for the Lord holds profound truth and encouragement. Join us as she shares her journey, offering wisdom and comfort for those navigating their own waiting seasons.

Mother's Day brings a range of emotions for many people. In this bonus Mother's Day episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with my 17-year-old grandson, Luke, who was adopted when he was 18 months old. Together, we talk about the complexities of his situation and how more than one thing can be true-something can be both good and hard at the same time. I hope this beautiful conversation touches you as much as it did me, and makes you feel a little less alone if you are someone who feels gaps or spaces in your own life. FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)

As we wrap up Season Two of the Rooted & Radiant podcast, I would like to thank our guests for their vulnerability, honesty, and courage in sharing their stories. They not only teach us but also remind us that we are not alone in our experiences, even when they are sad or dark. The enemy may try to convince us we are alone, but through sharing the work of God in our lives, we come to realize that we are not. Isolation is a tool of the enemy but sharing our journey together helps us to recognize God's presence with us.Thank you for accompanying us on this season's journey through the wilderness, where we learned that it is not a place of banishment, but rather a space where God seeks to bless us. It's been a privilege to explore God's word together. Stay tuned for Season Three!FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)

A relationship with Jesus and taking care of your mental health are not mutually exclusive. In fact, Jesus sets the example for self-care in scripture. In this episode, I engage in a conversation with my good friend and clinical mental health counselor, Jennifer. Together, we explore what it means to live authentically as Christians, the vital role of self-care, strategies for surrounding yourself with safe people, cultivating friendship, and seeking professional help. Jennifer's wisdom and advice make this episode a must-listen. So, grab your coffee and settle in for a discussion on a topic that's often overlooked in the modern day church, but that is so desperately important.FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)

The decision to follow God does not exempt us from challenging times; rather, it guarantees that we will step into a spiritual battle. In this episode, we'll discuss how God has equipped you for this battle and how there is power beyond yourself when you engage in it. Transitioning from the wilderness to the promises God has given you requires putting on the full armor of God and capturing every thought for Him. That which you believed would ruin you will, in fact, lift you up. God has promised you spacious places.FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)

Sometimes we go through valleys that only Jesus can walk us through. It was my privilege to sit down and talk to my oldest daughter, Morgan, about her own wilderness journey through one such valley. When her husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor, she and her family embarked on a long, terrifying, and brutal healing journey. Join us for this raw conversation about learning to admit when you're not okay, seeking support from trusted people, and ultimately placing trust in the goodness of God, regardless of the outcome. FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)
