What happens when life’s emergencies feel like a roaring lion chasing you down, and you don't have the time or emotional energy for a long, polished prayer?
Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a timely and encouraging devotional on Psalm 70, a short, punchy chapter that gives us biblical permission to cut straight to the chase and cry out for God’s immediate rescue.
Acting as an urgent, standalone remix of the final verses of Psalm 40—much like singing the powerful chorus of a song on repeat—Psalm 70 strips away the formalities of structured prayer formats when crisis hits. Jaime explores the fascinating shift in Hebrew language within this passage, where David calls upon both Elohim—the mighty Creator who brings order out of chaos—and Yahweh—the deeply personal, covenant-keeping Father who knows His children by name.
Addressing the common fear that repeatedly begging God to hurry demonstrates a lack of faith, Jaime contrasts the beauty of persistent prayer against the danger of taking matters into our own hands like Abram and Sarai. She reminds us that just like the persistent widow in the Gospels, knocking urgently on heaven's door is actually what keeps us anchored in trust rather than scrambling to force our own solutions.
Come ready to lay down your most time-sensitive burdens—the pressing crises, the relentless opposition, and the desperate moments where you feel like time is running out. Let this episode remind you that crying out "Lord, do not delay!" is not an act of doubt, but an invitation for our Deliverer to step into your chaos. Because He is both the sovereign Creator of the universe and a loving Father who hears your urgent cries, who guards you from stumbling into your own fixes, and whose perfect timing will never fail those who seek Him.

How do you hold onto the memory of God’s faithfulness when life moves on and new challenges arise?
Jaime and Alana explore the biblical concept of raising an “Ebenezer”—a tangible monument or stone of help that declares, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”
While it’s easy to experience an answered prayer or a miraculous breakthrough and quickly move on to putting out the next fire, Scripture repeatedly shows God’s people setting up physical memorials to remember what He has done. The co-hosts unpack the stories of Samuel’s stone of help and the twelve polished stones pulled from the Jordan River, looking at how tangible reminders not only anchor our own faith during hard seasons, but also serve as natural conversation starters to pass our testimonies down to our children.
Through personal stories and everyday examples—from prayer journals, Christmas ornaments, and cross-country bibs to writing Bible verses on bare concrete floors after an Alaskan earthquake—Jaime and Alana share practical ways to create spiritual mileposts in your own home. Alana addresses the tension between celebrating accomplishments and false humility, while Jaime reflects on using physical prompts to persevere in prayer, intentional family reflection, and even the question of whether tattoos can serve as modern-day Ebenezers.
Together, they encourage us to surround ourselves with reminders of God’s goodness so we never forget how far He has brought us. Whether you’re looking for creative ways to share your faith story with your kids, needing encouragement to trust God with a new obstacle, or wanting to build a habit of reflection and gratitude, we hope this episode inspires you to look back on God’s faithfulness with fresh eyes and confidence for the road ahead.

What happens when the rising waters of life—whether a devastating health diagnosis, financial ruin, or the slow erosion of your reputation—leave you feeling completely trapped and sinking into the mire?
Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a deeply comforting and raw devotional on Psalm 69, a powerful chapter that meets us in our lowest moments of panic and anxiety, while pointing us toward the ultimate hope of our Redeemer.
Drawing from a vivid, real-life illustration of Alaska’s treacherous glacial mudflats and rapidly rushing bore tides, Jaime paints an unforgettable picture of what David meant when he cried out that the waters had risen to his neck with no foothold in sight. She explores how David’s desperate pleas give us permission to bring our own untidy, raw, and seemingly hopeless emotions directly to the throne of grace, reminding us that authenticity and trust go hand in hand when we are straining our eyes waiting for God to move.
Along the way, we see how David’s deep distress foreshadows the suffering of Jesus on the cross, and Jaime thoughtfully unpacks the challenging concept of "imprecatory prayers"—those jarring verses where David calls down God’s wrath upon his adversaries. Through the lens of New Testament grace, she offers wise, practical perspective on shifting our focus away from flesh-and-blood enemies to recognize the true spiritual battle against the principalities of darkness.
Come ready to lay down your deepest anxieties—the exhausting false accusations, the overwhelming debts, and the situations threatening to swallow you whole. Let this episode remind you that our Savior is bigger than the fiercest tides working against you. Because He is a God who hears the needy, who lifts our feet out of the suffocating silt to set us securely on high, and whose redeeming power can turn even the very seas that threatened to drown us into a chorus of praise for His glory.

How do you redeem screen time and turn everyday media into a meaningful tool for your family’s spiritual growth?
This week, Jess Wolstenholm—VP of Education and Research at Minno and veteran of 25 years in children’s ministry—joins Jaime for an encouraging conversation on helping kids and families experience Jesus every day, both on and off screens.
In this episode, Jess shares the heart behind Minno, a Christian children’s streaming platform featuring everything from beloved classics like VeggieTales to high-quality originals crafted by creatives from Disney and Pixar, including Young David, God’s Greenhouse, and Micah.
Jess also dives into her work as the executive producer and editor of the Laugh and Grow Bible for Kids animated series and storybook Bibles, including their newest release, The Laugh and Grow Bible for Kids: Jesus Stories. She explains how to teach foundational theology to young, concrete thinkers without watering down the truth of the Gospel.
Jess also tackles the intimidation many parents and grandparents feel when trying to disciple their kids at home, offering a refreshing look at why modeling "intellectual humility" and curiosity is far more powerful than having all the answers. You’ll walk away with practical, pressure-free ideas for balancing your family’s "media diet" and using simple, everyday moments as a springboard for organic conversations about faith.

Is there a point in praying for world peace if the Bible says things have to get worse first?
In this Coffee Break episode, Jaime and Alana tackle a complex theological question that has puzzled believers for generations: Should we pray for world peace, or should we pray to hasten Christ’s return?
When end-times prophecies point toward tribulation, war, and global turmoil, it can be easy to grow passive in our prayers—or worse, assume that global suffering is necessary to speed up Jesus’ second coming. The co-hosts explore how popular culture and competing eschatological views can shape our prayer lives, and why trying to orchestrate the fulfillment of prophecy can lead our hearts and motivations astray.
Through honest reflection, biblical wisdom, and a memorable story about Alaskan fireweed, Jaime and Alana discuss the tension between longing for heaven and loving a hurting world right now. Alana shares how the Lord’s Prayer guides us to ask for God's mercy and peace in the midst of suffering rather than wishing for hardship, while Jaime reflects on viewing the timing of Christ’s return through the lens of God’s grace—and why we should never place our ultimate hope in secular or political systems to manufacture a human-led utopia.
Together, they encourage us to fix our eyes on Jesus and remain faithful to the work He has given us today, rather than getting lost in the weeds of end-times timelines. Whether you’re fascinated by the book of Revelation, feeling overwhelmed by global conflict, or simply wondering how to pray for a broken world, we hope this episode brings you clarity, peace, and a renewed heart to be salt and light until He comes again.
