Stuck
Do you ever feel stuck in the same struggles — like real change just isn’t possible? In this episode, Jennie invites us to take a hard look at what we believe about the Holy Spirit and the supernatural power of God. Many of us have grown too comfortable in our sin, naming it but not fighting it. But Scripture promises us something more: clarity, freedom, and power through the Holy Spirit. Jennie unpacks how to recognize spiritual bondage, how to stop grieving the Spirit, and how to actually walk in the freedom Jesus offers. You’ll leave this episode reminded that you’re not powerless — and you’re not stuck.
