I Got Nothing. | Confronting the Perception of Lack

Do you ever feel like you just don’t have enough? Not enough time, resources, strength—or even faith? In this episode, Jess invites you to pause and reflect: What if the real issue isn’t what you’re lacking, but where your focus lies? She lovingly challenges us to lift our eyes from the noise of scarcity and fix them on the unshakable truth of a faithful, providing God. Be encouraged by the reminder that He is more than enough—in every season, in every circumstance. “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” — Psalm 23:1 (ESV) “And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:19 (ESV) Listen now—and share this episode with someone who needs to be reminded of God's faithful provision.

Grace isn't for the polished—it's for the honest. Let's talk about it.
