In today’s episode, we talk about feeling unsafe with God.

If you've been longing for a deeper faith-based reflection on who God truly is, this one's worth a slow listen. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse

Question
God, what do you want me to know about you right now?
God, here’s something I’ll share with you about me.

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about a practice for anxious days.
If anxiety has been your constant companion lately, this episode is for you. Jen walks through two powerful scripture passages to show that God doesn't ask you to get it together before drawing near — he meets you right in the middle of the worry, the tight chest, and the spiraling thoughts. A grounding, faith-based reflection for anyone who needs a reminder that anxious feelings are an invitation, not a barrier. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Luke 10:38–42 
 "As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” 41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Psalms 94:16-19 
16 "Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
17 Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
19 When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy."

Question
God, what can I notice in my body? What can I notice here physically as I release this anxiety to you in your presence?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about staying close to God when you don’t have answers.
When the world feels loud, confusing, and impossible to make sense of, our instinct is to run to God for answers — but what if he's actually inviting us somewhere deeper first? In this episode, Jen opens up about sitting with confusion and discovers that Jesus meets us in the middle of it, not always with clarity, but always with His presence and peace. If you're a Christian woman needing encouragement but feeling too overwhelmed to even know what to pray, this one is for you. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
John 20:19-22
"On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit."

Question
God, what would it look like to remain close to you even without clarity?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about the the secret to contentment.
Contentment isn't pretending everything is fine — it's something you learn, and something God actually helps you carry. Jen digs into Paul's words in Philippians 4 and walks through what it looks like to bring your real needs and real hunger to God, and let His strength be enough. If you've been wondering how to hear from God in a season of lack or longing, this conversation is a gentle place to start. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Philippians 4:11–13
 "I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength."

Question
God, I wanna bring to you what I'm going through. What does it look like for me to have contentment empowered by your strength even here?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about spiritual renewal for flat days. 
Ever feel like you're stuck in spiritual meh mode, where connecting with God feels more like a to-do than a lifeline? This faith-based reflection on Isaiah 57:15 reveals how God meets us in the flatness and offers one powerful question to help you hear from God about what He wants to restore in you. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Isaiah 57:15 NLT

“The high and lofty one who lives in eternity,
    the Holy One, says this:
“I live in the high and holy place
    with those whose spirits are contrite and humble.
I restore the crushed spirit of the humble
    and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts."

Question
God, what do you long to restore and revive in me?
