Episode 3 | The Power of a Word

Episode 8 | The Anchor | REST

What Does God Say About Rest? What comes to mind when you hear the word rest?  Relief?  Longing?  Guilt?  Resistance? In this first episode of our June Anchor Series, we begin with THE ANCHOR LENS What does God say about rest? Together, we’ll explore: • Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28-30  • The biblical meanings of rest   • Why rest existed before sin entered the world  • The purpose of Sabbath in Scripture  • The difference between rest and idleness  • Why Proverbs 31 is often misunderstood in conversations about rest  • Psalm 23 and the Shepherd who restores our souls  • Hebrews 4 and the ultimate rest found in Christ If you’ve ever struggled to stop, felt guilty for slowing down, or believed your worth was tied to your productivity, this conversation is for you. Rest is not weakness. Rest is worshipful trust. Anchor Scripture Matthew 11:28-30 Additional Scriptures  Genesis 2:1-3  Exodus 20:8-11  Psalm 23:1-3  Psalm 127:2  Mark 2:27  Matthew 5:17  Colossians 2:16-17  Hebrews 4:9-11 Reflection Question Lord, where am I striving today in a place You have already invited me to rest?

Episode 7 | The Becoming | ROOTED

Episode 7 — THE BECOMING | Rooted Anchor Series  ROOTED: Becoming Who God Created You To Be This week, we close our ROOTED Anchor Series by talking honestly and practically about spiritual growth, transformation, and what it truly means to become who God created us to be. Over the last month, we’ve explored what it means to be rooted in Christ instead of rooted in fear, approval, performance, distraction, or survival mode. And in this final episode, we ask an important question: “What am I becoming right now?” Together, we walk through:  • Preparing the soil of our hearts  • Planting God’s Word consistently  • Pulling weeds that choke spiritual growth  • Staying rooted when growth feels slow  • Bearing healthy fruit in everyday life  • Multiplying the harvest through discipleship and relationships This episode is a reminder that spiritual maturity is rarely built in giant dramatic moments. More often, it is formed through tiny daily obediences, quiet surrender, and ordinary faithfulness. We also reflect through all four lenses of The Anchor Method as we close this series:  THE ANCHOR — What does God say?  THE MIRROR — What does this reveal about me?  THE TABLE — How does this shape my relationships?  THE BECOMING — Who am I becoming as I walk this out? Today's Anchor Scripture:  Luke 8:15 If this episode encourages you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that slow growth is still growth. FREE Quiet-Time Companions for Episodes 5–7 are available now at:  http://www.knownandbecoming.com [ http://www.knownandbecoming.com] You can also join The Becoming Circle for deeper monthly devotional resources, reflection guides, and community encouragement. And before we close this month’s study…  June’s new Anchor Word is officially revealed. Thank you for walking through ROOTED with me this month. Stay rooted in truth, stay anchored in Christ, and keep courageously becoming who God created you to be. -Jenny Wendel You can find Known & Becoming, Jenny Wendel here:  Website: https://www.knownandbecoming.com/ [https://www.knownandbecoming.com/] Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Known-and-Becoming_JennyWendel [https://www.youtube.com/@Known-and-Becoming_JennyWendel] Blog: https://www.knownandbecoming.com/blog [https://www.knownandbecoming.com/blog] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585110088543 [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585110088543] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/known_and_becoming/ [https://www.instagram.com/known_and_becoming/] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@known.becoming [https://www.tiktok.com/@known.becoming] #KnownAndBecoming #ChristianPodcast #FaithPodcast #ChristianWomen #SpiritualGrowth #BibleStudy #FaithJourney #NothingWasted #ChristianMom #WomensMinistry #FaithTok #DevotionalPodcast #KnownAndBecomingPodcast #PullUpAChair #JennyWendel Nothing wasted.

Episode 5 | The Mirror | ROOTED

What does God’s truth about being rooted in Him reveal about me? In this week’s episode, The Mirror,  we move beyond surface-level faith and gently ask a deeper question: What is actually rooted beneath the surface of my life? Together, we sit with Jeremiah 17:5–8 and explore the invisible roots that shape our thoughts, emotions, reactions, relationships, and spiritual lives. This is not an episode about shame. It is an invitation into honesty, healing, and freedom. In this episode, Jenny vulnerably shares five unhealthy roots God slowly revealed in her own life: • Control  • Comparison  • Performance & reputation  • Comfort & escape  • Constant uprooting Through personal stories, reflection questions, Scripture, and guided journaling prompts, this episode is designed to feel less like a podcast — and more like quietly sitting with the Lord and allowing Him to gently turn on the light beneath the surface. Because rootedness does not begin in perfection. It begins in honesty. Anchor Scripture:  Jeremiah 17:5–8 Key Reflection Question:  “What exactly have my roots been planted in?” If you are a REACHING member, your full Becoming Guide with reflection prompts and prayer is already waiting in your inbox. Come back next Tuesday as we continue our ROOTED journey through The Table lens and explore how rootedness reshapes the way we love the people around us. You are fully known. Deeply loved. And still becoming something beautiful. #KnownAndBecoming #ChristianPodcast #FaithPodcast #Jeremiah17 #Rooted #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianWomen #HealingJourney #BibleStudyPodcast #ChristianEncouragement #HeartWork #FaithJourney #WomenOfFaith #IdentityInChrist #Sanctification You can find Known & Becoming, Jenny Wendel here:  Website: https://www.knownandbecoming.com/ [https://www.knownandbecoming.com/] Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Known-and-Becoming_JennyWendel [https://www.youtube.com/@Known-and-Becoming_JennyWendel] Blog: https://www.knownandbecoming.com/blog [https://www.knownandbecoming.com/blog] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585110088543 [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585110088543] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/known_and_becoming/ [https://www.instagram.com/known_and_becoming/] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@known.becoming [https://www.tiktok.com/@known.becoming] #KnownAndBecoming #ChristianPodcast #FaithPodcast #ChristianWomen #SpiritualGrowth #BibleStudy #FaithJourney #NothingWasted #ChristianMom #WomensMinistry #FaithTok #DevotionalPodcast #KnownAndBecomingPodcast #PullUpAChair #JennyWendel Nothing wasted.

Episode 4 | The Anchor | ROOTED

Episode 4: THE ANCHOR — ROOTED | What God Says About Where You Are Planted Welcome to Week 1 of our May Anchor Word: ROOTED. In this episode, we begin with THE ANCHOR — What God says. Before we move into feelings, before we try to fix anything, before we take action… we start with Truth. Together, we open Scripture and anchor ourselves in Colossians 2:6–7, where we are reminded: We are not striving to become rooted… We are called to live from the place we are already planted in Christ and let Him establish our roots. This episode is a gentle but grounding invitation to slow down and return to what is already true:  Christ is the foundation.   God's Word is Truth.   We are ROOTED in HIM.  This is a workshop-style podcast. Grab your Bible, your journal, and an honest heart. You may want to pause, reflect, and respond as we walk through this together. Anchor Scripture: Colossians 2:6–7 If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who may need to be reminded where they are planted. And if you’re walking this out with me each week—thank you for being here. We are not just hearing the Word…we are becoming it. Known & Becoming — You are known. You are becoming.  You are growing roots.
