If you or someone you love has ever struggled with depression, you know how heavy it can be—the burden of shame, the urge to withdraw, and the false belief that struggling means failing. Jess has been there, too. But she also knows that fighting for healing is worth it.

In this episode, Jess shares her own depression fight plan—not because she has all the answers, but because she refuses to let shame or defeat have the last word.

This episode may be for you, someone you care about, or just a reminder to tend to your own well-being in Jesus’ name. We pray this encourages you to keep fighting for wholeness, joy, and life wherever you are today.

Let’s Go.

Today on the Podcast, we’re exploring what it means to truly live in our bodies—the ones God fearfully and wonderfully made—and why it matters for our faith and our lives. 

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, stuck in shame, or struggled to connect with yourself physically, this episode is for you.  It’s for anyone with a body who wants to live fully awake to all God has for her.

Let’s explore what it means to get back in our bodies together, in Jesus’ name.

Let’s Go.

After a brief podcast hiatus, Jess is back and taking her own advice—pausing to reflect on what worked, what didn’t and setting a vision for what’s next. 

Jess doesn’t know if 2024 was your best year yet or one of the hardest. She doesn’t know if you’re racing into 2025 with excitement or stepping cautiously, trying not to make any sudden moves. But here’s what she does know: your past year deserves reflection, and the year ahead deserves intention.

This podcast is for you. It’s not my podcast; it’s ours. 

Let’s Go.

There’s nothing like your health to make you feel defeated. There’s nothing like health that makes us feel so much shame about where we’re at. Because our bodies are OUR BODIES, they’re the homes we live in here on earth - the enemy can often use our health to keep us from experiencing abundance, freedom, joy, and peace. 

In this episode, we are joined by Jess’s friend, health coach, and author of The Good Food Solution, Meredyth Fletcher. Meredyth discusses how your journey isn’t about trying the next fad diet or seeking a quick fix—it’s about finding the right balance for YOU. Like Meredyth is with Jess and Jess’s family, she will encourage you wherever you find yourself on your health journey.

If you feel defeated and sick, this episode is for you. If you love discussing health, this episode is for you.

Let’s go.
