Rooted with Jan Harrison

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/)

There are treasures in the wilderness-treasures you would never have received if you had not been willing to follow God into a dry and barren land. Time and time again, we see examples of people walking through the wilderness and into God's promises in the Bible-Abraham, Moses, David, John, and even Jesus. In this episode, I talk about how God prepares a table in the wilderness for us. I pray that this episode reminds you that God has personal promises for you, even in, and especially in the wilderness.FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)

When we embark on wilderness journeys, God does not leave us to fend for ourselves. Join me as we delve into a conversation with my friend, coworker, and sister in Christ, Wendy, about her wilderness journey and how God sustained her. Throughout her long journey, Jesus remained her one true constant. He gave her promises to hide in her heart and cling to in the darkest moments. I firmly believe that whether you are just starting or find yourself in the midst of your own wilderness journey, you need to hear this conversation. You are not alone on this journey, and you are not forgotten.FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)

Prayer is a gift God gives to His children so that they will be equipped to live in this world with hope, courage, and victory. In this episode, I explore the prayer life of Jesus and discuss how to grow and cultivate a rich prayer life. There are numerous instances of Jesus withdrawing to pray in the Bible. This tells us something-a rich prayer life starts when we are willing to go into the wilderness. Let's dive into what the Bible has to say about it.FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)

Prayer is one of the main ways God provides for us to stay rooted and grounded in Him. It's a comfort to know that we can simply call on the Lord-He desires to reveal great and unsearchable things to us. This episode, I talk to my friend, Kristy, about her journey of spiritual growth, especially through the lens of prayer. After facing the tragic loss of her mother to suicide, Kristy found that the Lord is a compassionate confidant who could empathize with her deepest emotions. We explore the misconception that sometimes arises, where we question the effectiveness of our prayers, especially when something bad happens, wondering if we've done it right or enough. Prayer isn't a rigid formula designed to yield specific answers; rather, it's a pathway to building a meaningful relationship with God. Pour yourself a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and settle in for this honest and beautiful conversation. FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)

Grief is a journey that touches us all, and being prepared to navigate it, both for ourselves and to support others, is invaluable. We have to get comfortable with grief. There is so much we can learn from scenes of grief and loss of men and women in the Bible. In this episode, we are going to dive into some of these examples and talk about healing. I want to say, if you are experiencing loss of any kind, I'm sorry.While recognizing that Jesus is the ultimate understanding companion in times of sorrow, I also acknowledge the importance of reaching out for human connection. If you find yourself in a low place and need someone to talk to, I want to share the Suicide and Crises Hotline: https://988lifeline.org/.FOLLOWInstagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry)Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/) FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)

Grief looks different for different people. As a mother, my desire is to fix and heal my children as quickly as possible. However, God has given me eyes to see their individuality, and when the unimaginable happens, it is God who can bring them the comfort that they really need. In this episode, I was able to sit down with my daughter, Caroline, and talk about the loss of her brother, my son, James. Caroline candidly shares her personal journey through grief and faith. Together, we explore the profound concept of grieving with hope. This is one episode you won't want to miss. FOLLOWInstagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry)Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/) FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)

This episode is about grieving, healing, and learning. In this episode, I open up about the painful loss of my son, James, sharing the deeply personal journey of how God ministered to my heart amidst sorrow and tragedy, and continues to do so. As I reflect on the years that have passed, I want to share some things with you that I have learned and am still learning. Whatever you are going through right now, I want to assure you that God is present on the other side of it. You are not alone, and He steadfastly walks with you through every step of your journey.If you would like to learn more about my story, you can get a free copy of my book here: https://www.rootedandradiant.net/bookFOLLOWInstagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry)Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/) FOLLOW Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/janharrison10/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootedAndRadiantMinistry) Website (https://www.rootedandradiant.net/)

In this wrap-up of season one, I talk about Peter stepping out of the boat in Matthew 14. He was able to walk on water because his eyes were fixed on Jesus. This podcast has  been a step of faith and a humbling, learning experience. I want to encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus as you step out of the boat. No storm can keep Him from coming to you. 

A huge thank you to our podcast guests for their boldness in sharing their stories, to our behind-the-scenes people for making this all come together, and to you, our audience, for listening and coming along on this beautiful journey. You are in my heart and on my mind. Thank you.
