What do you do when following Jesus could cost you your family, your freedom, or even your life?
This week, Rachel Morley, the Senior SRP Specialist for Open Doors, joins Jaime for an eye-opening and deeply moving conversation about the realities facing the persecuted church today.
In this episode, Rachel shares the unique, often hidden, and complex challenges that Christian women face in hostile regions around the world. She opens up about the heartbreaking reality of secret believers, the threat of forced marriages, and the profound cost of choosing Christ in places like Afghanistan, Somalia, India and Bangladesh.
Rachel also unpacks incredible stories of resilience that prove God is still doing the impossible in impossible places. From believers finding peace in the face of familial betrayal to Muslims encountering Jesus in miraculous dreams and visions, this conversation highlights the unbreakable spirit of the global church. She also introduces a powerful, simple way to intercede when you don't have the answers: the "somehow" prayer.
You'll walk away inspired by the courageous faith of our persecuted brothers and sisters, reminded that God's light shines brightest in the darkest places, and equipped with practical ways to stand with them in prayer.

What do you do when the battlefield stretches in every direction and it looks like God Himself brought the defeat?
Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 60 — a raw, honest lament born out of being surrounded on all sides, where David dares to say You did this, God — and still picks up the banner and calls Him Lord.
Jaime unpacks the historical backdrop of David fighting enemies to the north, east, and south all at once, and shares a breathtaking story from her years near Death Valley — where barren, salt-crusted flats that look permanently dead suddenly erupted into a once-in-a-century bloom of purple wildflowers. Sometimes the victory is already buried right beneath the most hopeless-looking ground, waiting for God's rain to bring it to life.
We also dig into the striking echo of Moses in Exodus 33 — when God offered the promised land without His presence, and Moses said no deal. David carries that same heart here: deliverance by man is in vain, and the land is just dirt without the God who makes it flourish.
Come ready to look at your own salt flats — the silence, the barrenness, the places that feel cracked and pointless — and let this psalm remind you that there are seeds of life lying dormant beneath every one of them. Because He is the water. He is the banner. And He is the only reason the bloom comes.

What do you do when God gives you a miracle — and then it looks like He's taken it away?
This week, musician, author, and worship artist Kristen Rickards joins Jaime for an honest and hope-filled conversation about trusting God through seasons of devastating loss, unexplainable health battles, and the kind of waiting that tests everything you thought you believed.
In this episode, Kristen shares her journey from child actress and pageant winner to Christian worship leader and author — and the painful season of two miscarriages and a health crisis that nearly shook her faith to its core. She opens up about what it felt like to be angry with God, to pull back from prayer, and the moment she realized she couldn't stay in that place for long.
Kristen also unpacks the powerful story of the Shunammite woman from 2 Kings — a mother who watched her promised son die and still declared "all is well" as she ran toward the man of God — and how that story mirrors the faith required when our own dreams look dead. She reminds us that God doesn't punish us for our doubt; He rewards us for our faith, even when it's only the size of a mustard seed.
You'll walk away encouraged that no pain is wasted, that it's okay to come to God imperfectly, and that the dreams you've written off may be exactly what He's about to breathe life into again.

How do you keep singing when enemies surround you and fear closes in on all sides?
Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 59 — a deeply personal cry for deliverance that moves from terror to triumph, anchored in the unshakeable truth that God is our fortress no matter how thin the walls around us feel.
Jaime walks through David's harrowing reality — surrounded at night by men sent to kill him — and shares a vivid story from her experience at a safari in Kenya's Maasai Mara, where the sound of circling lions in the dark brought this ancient psalm to life in the most visceral way. Sometimes God is the only thing standing between you and what's closing in.
We also explore the surprising tension in David's prayer — asking God not to destroy his enemies outright, but to scatter them as living witnesses of His power, while still crying out for ultimate justice. And through it all, the refrain that carries the whole psalm: as for me, I will sing.
Come ready to name what's surrounding you, find refuge in the God who is your stronghold even when your "tent" feels paper-thin, and make the bold, faith-filled decision to sing His praises before your heart fully catches up — because that's exactly what David did.

How do you begin to heal when the people closest to you are the ones who wounded you the most?
This week, author, speaker, and Collide ministry founder Willow Weston joins Jaime for a raw and powerful conversation about running toward pain instead of away from it, based on her new book, Collide: Running Into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt.
In this episode, Willow shares her deeply personal story of growing up in a home marked by addiction and abandonment, and how a moment of hiding in a closet from her own mother became the catalyst for a healing journey she never expected.
Willow also unpacks the beautiful tension between letting God heal us and actively participating in our own healing — reminding us that wholeness requires both surrender and a willingness to move. She offers a refreshing challenge to the "sweep it under the rug" approach to pain, pointing to a Jesus who never once avoided someone's mess but made a beeline straight for it.
You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of how unresolved wounds quietly travel through our relationships, and why giving yourself permission to name your pain — and invite God into it — is the bravest step toward becoming more whole than broken.
