#25 Trusting God When it Doesn't Make Sense: Christian Surrender in Midlife

By The Book is a Christian podcast for women in midlife navigating calling, faith, purpose, and God-led work in theirsecond season. Hosted by Johanne Hewlett. Some surrender happens at the beginning. Some happens after faithfulness. In this episode, Johanne Hewlett explores the kind of surrender that arrives in midlife — when God asks you to release something that once felt like part of the promise. Through the lens of Abraham and Isaac, we talk about attachment, identity, grief, and the quiet cost of obedience. This is not surrender as correction, but surrender as transfer — placing even good things back into God’s hands. If you’re navigating disappointment, transition, or unexpected redirection, this episode offers language for trusting God when obedience feels costly. Topics: • Christian surrender in midlife• Letting go of God-given dreams• Faith and grief after obedience• Attachment vs trust• What comes after surrender Until next time —go gently, go boldly, and go By The Book. 🎁 FREE RESOURCE FOR CHRISTIAN WOMEN BUILDING A BUSINESS Download your FREE Daily Business Check-In (Bible-ledplanning tool) ⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠ [https://www.johewlettauthor.com/free-check-in] ⁠⁠⁠ 📘 ORDER THE BOOK By The Book: How to Build a Bible-Led Business ⁠Audiobook⁠ [https://payhip.com/b/C2ojG] ⁠Paperback⁠ [https://payhip.com/b/bM1xW] Also available on Amazon (Kindle and Paperback).

By The Book is a Christian podcast for women in midlife navigating calling, faith, purpose, and God-led work in theirsecond season. Hosted by Johanne Hewlett. Money carries emotion, memory, responsibility, and often quiet pressure — especially in midlife. In this episode of By The Book, Johanne Hewlett explores what it means to trust God with finances without ignoring practical reality. Rather than offering budgeting strategies, this conversation reframes financial anxiety through a biblical understanding of provision.

#23 How to Work With God’s Pace: Doing Less Without Losing Fruit - Choosing Faithful Work Over Hustle in Your Second Season

By The Book is a Christian podcast for women in midlife navigating calling, faith, purpose, and God-led work in theirsecond season. Hosted by Johanne Hewlett. Many Christian women reach midlife carrying an unspoken belief that faithfulness must look busy. But what if God is not asking you to do more — only to move differently? In this episode of By The Book, Johanne Hewlett explores what it means to work at God’s pace in a culture shaped by hustle, urgency, and constant productivity. Rather than offering time management advice, this conversation reframes pace as a spiritual posture that shapes fruit, sustainability, and peace. We talk about how hustle became normalised in Christian spaces, why slowing down can feel threatening, and how Scripture presents fruitfulness as the result of connection rather than effort. If you’re feeling tired, scattered, or quietly sensing God inviting simplification, this episode will help you understand the difference between faithful work and fear-driven hustle. In this episode: • Christian perspective on hustle culture• Working with God’s pace in midlife• Faithful work vs productivity pressure• Why slowing down feels spiritually risky• Pruning, boundaries, and sustainable fruit• Rest as rhythm rather than collapse This episode is for Christian women building businesses, ministries, homes, or second-season callings who want fruit without burnout. Until next time —go gently, go boldly, and go By The Book. 🎁 FREE RESOURCE FOR CHRISTIAN WOMEN BUILDING A BUSINESS Download your FREE Daily Business Check-In (Bible-ledplanning tool) ⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠ [https://www.johewlettauthor.com/free-check-in]⁠⁠⁠ 📘 ORDER THE BOOK By The Book: How to Build a Bible-Led Business ⁠Audiobook⁠ [https://payhip.com/b/C2ojG] ⁠Paperback⁠ [https://payhip.com/b/bM1xW] Also available on Amazon (Kindle and Paperback).
