From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about why you don't have to get to God — he's already there.
Some days it feels like God is distant and you're just trying to find your way back to him — but what if he was never far to begin with? This episode walks through the stories of Jacob and the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and invites you into a quiet moment to ask God how to hear from him and picture his presence in your own life. Short, honest, and grounding.
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!
Verse
Luke 24:30-31
"When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight."
Gen 28:16-17
"When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”
Question
God, what's a picture I can hold onto of how you're here with me?

From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about why you feel disconnected from God.
You don't have to wait for a peaceful moment to talk to God — He's already there in the hard, loud, full ones. Jen opens up about why so many of us feel disconnected from God during the busiest seasons, and offers a simple but powerful invitation to press into Him right where you are. This is Christian encouragement for the mom who hasn't had a quiet moment all week.

Verse
Psalm 46:1 (ESV)
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
Question

From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about growing aware of God's presence.
Some days the to-do list wins and God feels like a distant thought rather than a close presence — and that's exactly what this episode speaks into. Drawing from Psalm 139, Jen explores the difference between God's absence and our awareness, and invites you into a practice of noticing him in the ordinary, overwhelming moments of your day. If you've been wondering how to feel connected to God again, this one's worth a quiet listen.

Verse
Psalm 139:7–10
Question
God, where are you right now that I’ve been overlooking?

From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about how awareness of God transforms you.
We spend so much energy trying to do more for God, but what if the invitation He's extending right now is just to notice Him? In this episode, Jen unpacks 2 Corinthians 3:18 and the idea that beholding God — in scripture, in nature, in your everyday circumstances — is itself a powerful act of Christian spiritual formation.
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!
Verse
2 Corinthians 3:18
"And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."
Question
God, how can I behold you right now? How can I look upon you in a fresh way?

From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about how to abide and bear fruit.
What if spiritual maturity is less about trying harder and more about staying connected? In this episode, Jen shares the shift that changed everything about how she approaches faith-based growth — and invites you into a simple, honest conversation with God about the fruit his Spirit is already forming in you. This one's for the woman who's tired of performing and ready to just abide.
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!
Verse
Galatians 5:22-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
Question
Holy Spirit, what fruit are you quietly forming in me?

From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about a gift you can't work for.
So much of our faith can quietly become about earning — earning closeness, earning acceptance, earning God's love. In this episode, Jen opens up Ephesians 2 and asks a question worth sitting with: what if your relationship with God isn't as fragile as you think? If you're looking for Christian encouragement that actually gives you room to breathe, this one's for you.

Verse
Ephesians 2:1-9
Question
God, are there any places where I'm striving because of insecurity and what do you offer me instead?

From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about how Jesus REALLY sees you.
Do you come to God already bracing yourself — half-expecting him to lead with everything you've done wrong? In this episode, Jen gently challenges that assumption and walks you through what Scripture actually says about how Jesus feels when you draw near. It's a quiet, honest conversation about belonging — and a simple prayer prompt that might change the way you talk to God today.

Verse
Hebrews 2:11
"For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers."
Question
Jesus, are you ashamed to call me yours?

From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about being a New Creation NOW and why it's NOT a goal but a gift from God.
If you've ever felt like being a "New Creation" was just another standard you couldn't quite measure up to, this episode is for you. Jen unpacks what 2 Corinthians 5:17 actually means — and why your new identity in Christ isn't something you have to earn, it's something you already have. This is the Christian encouragement you need if you're tired of striving and ready to simply receive.
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!
Verse
2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."

From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about why you are not auditioning for God.
If you've ever walked into prayer feeling like you had to show up as your best self to earn God's attention, this episode is for you. Jen unpacks why so many of us approach God out of fear rather than belonging — and how understanding your adoption as His daughter can quietly transform the way you talk with Him. A grounding moment of Christian encouragement for whenever the weight of the day follows you into your quiet time.
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!
Verse
Romans 8:15
"For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, 'Abba! Father!"
Question
God, what does belonging change about how I approach you?

From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about why morning routines with Jesus don't have to be perfect.
If you've ever felt guilty for not being a "morning person," Jennifer Dukes Lee has a word for you — and it might change how you start every single day. In this conversation, she shares what she discovered after studying 200+ mornings in Scripture: that God has a soft spot for mornings, and that meeting Him there has nothing to do with what time your alarm goes off. This is your Christian encouragement for anyone who's ever whispered "God, help me" before their feet hit the floor — because Jennifer says that counts.
Jennifer Dukes Lee is a bestselling author, speaker, and morning evangelist from Iowa. She is the author of several books, including Growing Slow, It’s All Under Control, and Stuff I’d Only Tell God. She wants to live her life in such a way that
you can’t help but want more of Jesus.
