In this episode, Girl, Consider Your Ways, Janique reflects on the powerful message found in the short but convicting book of Haggai. Speaking directly to women who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, and spiritually disconnected, she explores how misplaced priorities can leave us exhausted yet unfulfilled.

Just like the Israelites who returned from exile but neglected rebuilding God’s temple while focusing on their own homes, many of us have unintentionally placed our ambitions, responsibilities, and comfort ahead of our relationship with God. The result? Working hard but producing little fruit, feeling spiritually drained, and wondering why nothing feels satisfying.

Through the Lord’s call to “consider your ways,” this episode invites listeners to pause, reflect, and realign their priorities. Janique reminds us that God’s desire isn’t just for our activity - it’s for our obedience, reverence, and relationship with Him.

When we seek God first and remain connected to the true source, we stop striving in our own strength and begin to experience the fruit that only comes from abiding in Him.

Key Takeaways

1. Do not put your personal comfort over God’s presence. 

2. Spiritual neglect leads to frustration and no fruit.

3. God calls for reflection before correction

4. God desires glory, not just activity.

5. God promises to be with us when we step into obedience.
