You keep waiting for their approval before you go for the BIG thing, but a part of you already knows it may not be coming (at least not anytime soon) ... And here's the TRUTH: Sometimes the people who love you most are the ones who have the hardest time seeing who you’re becoming.

(Not even JESUS was taken seriously in his own hometown.)

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, underestimated, or quietly desperate for someone close to you to finally understand this version of you, this conversation is for you.

You’ve been trying to date your way for long enough, and it's just not working (maybe you find yourself in the same patterns over and over again). So, maybe it's time to try something different...

In this episode, Alex Weber shares how he met, dated, fell in love with, got engaged to, and married his wife Jessica in less than a year, after finally surrendering his relationships to God. (UPDATE: NOW THEY'RE HAVING A BABY!)

We talk about dating God’s way, praying with your partner, being equally yoked, sobriety, boundaries, and why the right person will not make you shrink your faith.

Welcome to She Wrestles with God, a DAILY DEVOTIONAL program that will help you to get to know God, practice prayer, and see more miracles.

If you're feeling a pull to get closer to God while also wrestling with ambition, guilt, self-doubt, relationships, unanswered prayers, big life decisions, and a packed schedule, you're in the right place!

Most episodes are only 5-15 minutes long, and my hope is that whether you listen for a few seconds or binge every word, you'll sign off feeling lighter, more joyful, more grounded, and more capable of becoming the person God made you to be.

There are moments when you think what you need is rest, a reset, a vacation, or a break from everything, when what you really need is to get reintroduced to the presence of God. In this episode, we're talking about Jesus as the vine, us as the branches, and the ways we accidentally plug into Instagram, comparison, attention, control, and everything else before we plug back into Him. If you’ve been feeling disconnected, exhausted, or spiritually dry, I hope this helps you come back to NUTRIENTS of your true source.

If you’ve been trying to control the outcome, break an old pattern, or figure out why the thing you want so badly keeps feeling blocked, GIRL, we feel your struggle. In this conversation with Ivory Hecker, we talk about the ways in which we resist trusting God, how spiritual warfare will try to sabotage your progress, and the POWER of meditation, forgiveness, and BIBLICAL fasting. If you’ve been praying for the husband, the healing, the clarity, or the breakthrough (but still trying to control how it happens -- maybe you've even considered an Etsy witch LOL), this one is for you...

In this replay episode, I’m sharing my FIVE favorite Bible verses for when you're waiting, wrestling, doubting, FREAKING OUT, and trying to make peace with the timeline you would not have chosen for yourself.

I'm especially thinking of you, the woman who is STILL praying for the husband, baby, job, clarity, or breakthrough you hoped would be here by now. And I really hope this helps you feel a little less alone.

This replay is especially for the woman who is entering a new city, new season, new job, new church, new relationship status, or new version of yourself, and you're realizing it very well might be time for some NEW FRIENDS too. (Sometimes a new season requires new friends -- and sometimes, it requires you to become a better one, too.) In this episode, we talk about what it's like to move somewhere new, how we can get a little too comfortably isolated and introverted, stupidly simple social skills, and how to be the one who is MAGNETIC. If you’ve been praying for deeper, godlier, more reliable friendships, this conversation is for you (and maybe for the friend you need to send it to).

You keep running back to the old patterns of what you know won't actually make you feel any better -- hiding in work, ordering more food, texting that guy, or watching just one more episode. Or maybe you don't even realize how much the scrolling and staying up late are burning you out, keeping you stuck, and (ultimately) getting between you and God. In this episode we talk about how to find COMFORT when your body keeps chasing control.

Our conversation about being INTENTIONALLY SINGLE continues to be our top downloaded episode across all audio platforms, so AJ Norman is BACK to talk about readying our hearts and minds to start intentionally DATING. In this episode, we talk about getting clear about what you actually WANT (not just what you've settled for), the boundaries we set BEFORE we ever even go on the first date, and the wife privileges so many of us are handing out to random strangers.
