Eat Don’t Compete with Jazmine DeWees

A Year Changed Everything… But Not the Way I Expected | Faith, Obedience & Growth

It’s been one year since stepping fully into this new season of Eat Don’t Compete—and I didn’t expect the growth to look like this. In this episode, I’m reflecting on what the last year has truly produced—not just content, not just numbers, but obedience, stretching, humility, and a deeper understanding of what it means to walk with God. Because the truth is… I had to unlearn what I thought success was. I had to confront the tension between knowing God and actually obeying Him. And I had to realize that some fruit only comes when you stop striving and start surrendering. This episode is personal. It’s honest. And it’s an invitation for you to reflect on your own year—what God has done, what He’s revealed, and how He’s been shaping you. If a year made this kind of difference in my life… it can in yours too. 🔗 Mentioned in this episode: * Picking Flowers and Pricking Thorns (Poetry Collection) * The Blueprint of Becoming Series * Hey God, I Have Questions Series * From Discontentment to God’s Definition Series 💬 Join the conversation: What has God changed in you this past year? 📌 Subscribe & Stay Connected New episodes exploring faith, identity, obedience, and spiritual growth.

What If God Wants to Use What You’ve Been Ignoring? (Purpose & Calling)

I didn’t just write a poetry book… I responded to a conviction. If you’ve been following the recent conversations on success, calling, and discontentment—this is what that process produced in me. In this episode, I walk you through the heart behind Picking Flowers and Pricking Thorns—where it came from, what God revealed to me, and why I could no longer ignore the gift He gave me. This isn’t just poetry. It’s a journey through tension—beauty and brokenness, growth and loss, surrender and purpose. From “before awareness” to “walking in purpose,” this book was written intentionally to reflect what it looks like to process life with God, not apart from Him. If you’ve ever wrestled with your calling, questioned your gifts, or felt the tension of becoming… this conversation is for you. And if you’ve been supporting from a distance—this is your invitation to step into community, not just support. 📖 Pick up your copy of Picking Flowers and Pricking Thorns Available now on Amazon (Hardcover) https://a.co/d/0fMQoK13

You Thought This Was Success… But God Never Asked for It | Biblical Success Explained

You’ve been calling it success… but what if God never asked for it? This is the final installment of the Biblical Success series (Episodes 79–82)—and we’re not just defining success anymore… we’re confronting it. We started this series by exposing discontentment. We walked through what the world calls success. We anchored ourselves in what God actually says. And now… we’re ending with the question that reveals it all: “Who am I really doing this for?” This conversation comes from a real wrestle—one that forced me to examine my motives, my pace, and even how I viewed my own gifts. Through Scripture and personal reflection, we walk through what it actually means to live a life that is successful in God’s eyes—not the world’s. We’re anchoring in: * What God defines as success (Joshua 1:7–8) * Why discontentment reveals misplaced priorities (Luke 12:15) * What it looks like to seek God first (Matthew 6:33) * How to work from a place of obedience, not performance (Colossians 3:23) And we close this series with something personal—what it looked like for me to stop striving, surrender my gift, and simply obey… even when it wasn’t seen. This episode isn’t just a conclusion. It’s an invitation to realignment. So before you move on to the next thing, sit with this: Who am I doing this for?

God Already Defined Success… Why Are We Still Guessing? | Joshua 1:7–8 Devotional

We’ve been asking what success really is… But what if the answer was never hidden? Today, we’re anchored in Joshua 1:7–8, walking through what God actually said about success—not what culture defines, not what we’ve made it, but what He established. Across multiple translations, the instruction is consistent: Be strong and courageous. Obey the Word. Meditate on it. Don’t stray from it. Success isn’t about achievement—it’s about alignment. This episode is an invitation for you to slow down, sit with Scripture, and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal what God wants to correct, heal, and sanctify—not just through you, but in you. If this resonates with you, don’t keep it to yourself—share it with someone who’s been trying to define success on their own.
