Selah Moments with Sam and Jess

Building a Lasting Legacy: Obedience, Character & Generational Impact

In this episode of Selah Moments we’re exploring what it really means to build a lasting legacy. Legacy is often connected to money, wealth, or what we leave behind materially, but in this conversation, Jess and Sam unpack legacy through the lens of faith, obedience, character, stewardship, discipleship, and everyday impact. They discuss how the way we live, love, respond, obey, and show up can shape not only our lives, but the generations coming after us. This episode is for the woman who wants to live intentionally, steward her influence well, and understand how her obedience to God can create a ripple effect far beyond what she may ever see.

Breaking Negative Self-Talk: Renewing Your Mind + Embracing Your Identity in Christ

Negative self-talk can feel like a nonstop narrator in your mind, shaming you, shrinking you, and making it hard to receive what God says about you. In this episode, we explore how that inner voice is often rooted in childhood experiences and the messages we absorbed early on. We share personal stories, biblical insight, and practical tools to help you uproot lies and replace them with truth. We discuss the Holy Spirit’s role in renewing the mind, how to “confront lies with facts,” and why therapy and safe spaces can be a powerful part of healing and discipleship.
