The First Step in Knowing Who You Are Oct 04, 2022

When we take inventory of all the pieces that make us whole, it is unlikely they are all thriving at the same time. In this episode, we talk about how to seek God’s guidance when we feel lacking, and how to trust Him with a child-like faith. We all feel pressure to a different degree. When that happens, our identities can become tied to our achievements. But know this: God is after a relationship with you. He doesn’t want you to do more or achieve more.

Are You Ok? — Season 12 Coming October 4th Sep 30, 2022

Are you ok?
We all would love to have a quick answer when someone asks us this, but life is not that simple. When we realize that our identity and who we are is made up of a combination of many parts that are feeling and experiencing different things at a given time, we are able to work on the different parts without sabotaging the whole. Join us for 12 weeks, 24 episodes where we take an honest look at the parts of you and the God who makes us whole. I want to walk beside you in this tension and remind you what Scripture tells us that God wants for us. Forward this to your friends, gather your people, and process this in community.

We all have hurts, bitterness, baggage and what I want to do today is take an honest look at what that is. I want to unpack the things that are causing us to fear.
1. What hurt are you holding on to and why?
2. How do you think Jesus feels about your pain or disappointment?
3. Is there value in going to difficult places? If so, what is it?
4. How have you seen Jesus redeem some of your darkest times?
5. How has that strengthened your hope and trust in Him?
6. Is there any other hurt or disappointment that you’re avoiding? If so, what is it?
7. How can I love you well right now?

Peace over Chaos - Season 7 starts Feb. 2nd! Jan 28, 2021

NEW YEAR, NEW SEASON and we missed you!! If there’s ever been a time where we need people to grab us by the shoulders and tell us what is true and what is real, it is right now. We don’t need big fancy words to get us through our days, we need to go back to the simple and pure things God has given us to stay close to Him and love people well. There is a way out of the chaos in our minds, the fear, the confusion and lack of vision - it’s in clinging to our Bibles and knowing what to do next because of it. Let’s spend 10 weeks going back to the basics every single one of us needs to know… things like how to pray, what to do with sin, how to read your Bible, and why we all need to have fun sometimes. These 10 weeks will give you practical steps you can take right now and challenge you to follow God and go deeper with Him.

21 - A big thank YOU and what’s coming next for the podcast! Dec 15, 2020

We’re going to dive deep into our Bibles and stay there. We’re going to pull people in and get honest. We’re going to come out the other side different people. You ready? This season will have incredible guests, people with real stories, and even more ways to interact with this podcast community.

We talk about growing up in the slums in Kenya, what it's like trying to live in community here in the US vs. Africa, what he misses about living in Kenya, and how God powerfully moved in his life through the local church and through Compassion to completely alter the course of his life.

Do you tend to check out and numb out? We are bombarded with too many problems. What can we do about it? How can we even help? We zone out, check out. Let’s reject passivity and lean into the needs around us - as we fix our eyes on Jesus and throw off the sin and weight that clings to us, we run our races. We have a mission.

13 - Victimhood vs. Gratitude Mar 10, 2020

There’s something robbing our joy, leaving us defeated and paralyzed and sad. In some degree, all of us are acting like the world is out to get us and we don’t have to live like this. God has given us a way out of our spiraling thoughts. NOTE - there are so many of you are facing unthinkable abuse and wrong, listen to the whole episode… we’re not talking about this. This attitude we’re going to address is the victim mindset that steals the hope and power of God from your circumstances.

Introducing Season 3: Get Out of Your Head Jan 21, 2020

SEASON 3 STARTS ON JANUARY 28th!
I hear all the time from people who feel stuck in patterns of frustration and defeat. In my search for a solution, I learned that the greatest spiritual battle of our generation is taking place between our ears. How we think shapes how we live. So it's crucial that we learn how to stop our spinning thoughts and refuse to fall prey to toxic thinking patterns like victimhood, anxiety, and distraction. In Season 3 of the Made for This podcast, we will focus on biblical truth and recent discoveries in neuroscience to show exactly how we can fight the enemies of the mind with the truth of who God is and who He calls us to be. "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." This means it's possible.

All of us have expectations, and when those expectations are not met, we get angry. The sneaky thing about anger is that most people, when you ask them if they’re an angry person, would say no!

So many of us live stuck. Stuck in trying to seem perfect. Stuck in sadness. Stuck feeling numb. Stuck pursuing more stuff to make us happy. Stuck in something we can't even name. These stuck places often go unattended inside of us and they are shaping our lives more than we would like to think. We've been trying to fix this feeling with everything but... God. He has a plan for these spaces inside of us, the places we feel broken, but we have to go to Him. Season 2 of the Made for This Podcast is here! And we’re going to get UNSTUCK. Let’s talk about anger, discontentment, overwhelm, fear and sadness…. some of the places we all get stuck. There will be interviews and Scripture every week. Come on this journey with us to take an honest look at the fight going on inside that leads us to the God who can set us free!

Pressure produces some of the best work and the best creativity. It causes me to be intentional in my relationships and conversations.

Let's talk about 5 ways you can look differently at pressure in life and see it as a help rather than something to avoid at all cost.

16 - The Power of Need Aug 14, 2019

One of the biggest barriers I think we all face in friendship is expressing our own needs. I struggle with this! A friend I love told me recently, “Jennie, I just don’t think you need me!” It couldn’t be farther from the truth, but she was right. I have a hard time telling my friends what’s going on in my life and what I need from them. We all just stay within our lines and wave politely at each other rather than getting into the everyday parts of each other’s lives. When I talk about these hard things on the show, just know I’m right there with you in this. I believe in us team!

Her organization Be the Bridge is changing the world!

03 - How to Have Life-Giving Conversations Jul 06, 2019

What do you and your friends circle around? Do you find yourself coming home from hanging out with your friends feeling discouraged or encouraged? I think the answer to how we have life-giving relationships lies in what we talk about, what we circle around.

01 - The Secret to Healthy Relationships Jul 01, 2019

How do I make friends? This is a question we all ask no matter our age or stage of life. Join me as I talk about the biggest problem we face as we try to make friends. The Apostle Paul, the author of the letter to the Philippian church, knew this and knew friendship and community were not about him, it was about others and about living on mission.
Let’s look at the book of Philippians together to see what happens when God is at the center of our relationships. Let’s also address the elephant in the room… co-dependency. How do we know if we’re in a co-dependent relationship and what do we do about it? We’re going there in episode 1… join us!
