Becoming and Purpose

Ep. 44 - Maybe Purpose Isn't What You Think

Have you ever wondered what your purpose is? Have you prayed for direction and wished God would just hand you the entire plan? In this episode, we're talking about what I've learned about finding purpose through faithfulness, prayer, obedience, and returning to God's Word again and again. I truly believe that everything we need... wisdom, encouragement, comfort, correction, and hope, can be found in Scripture, and I've yet to encounter a season of life where the Bible didn't meet me exactly where I was. We'll talk about what it means to trust God with the next step instead of demanding the whole staircase, how consistency in prayer changes us, and why purpose may be much closer than we think. I'm also sharing some exciting updates about my new weekly email newsletter, The Sunday Sip with Jaycee, and why I'm finally stepping out of my comfort zone to pursue YouTube and new ways of sharing the message God has placed on my heart. If you've ever felt behind, confused, or uncertain about what God wants you to do, this episode is for you. Because maybe purpose isn't one giant thing you discover someday. Maybe it's found in faithfully walking with God today.

Ep. 43 - Halfway There: What God's Been Teaching Us

We're officially halfway through our 90-Day Bible Reading Challenge, and honestly... the Bible has surprised us in the best ways. In this episode, Olav and Roman join me again as we reflect on everything we've read from Genesis through Proverbs 6. We talk about what stood out most, the themes we didn't expect to notice, and how God's Word has been changing us little by little. From Abraham's mistakes to Moses' excuses, Saul's downfall, Israel's constant cycle of forgetting, and David's raw honesty in Psalms, one thing has become incredibly clear: God doesn't wait for perfect people to accomplish His purposes. We also talk about why the Bible is so much more than rules and genealogy, how reading Scripture has affected our daily lives, and why Psalms has become one of my favorite books of the Bible, just like it was for my grandpa. If you're behind in your reading plan, brand new to the Bible, or wondering if it's worth the effort to keep showing up, this episode is for you. Because the goal isn't perfection. The goal is knowing God. And every page reminds us that while people may be flawed, God remains faithful.

Ep. 42 - The Joy in Front of Us!

I had planned to have a guest this week, but life had other plans, and tbh, I’m so glad it did. Today we’re talking about the beauty and challenges of parenting, why dating your spouse matters more than we sometimes realize, and how building a strong marriage blesses the entire family. I’m also sharing an exciting new idea God has been stirring in my heart for a women’s Bible study and some themes that could help women in this season of life grow deeper in faith, purpose, marriage, and motherhood. If you’ve ever felt stretched thin by schedules, kids, responsibilities, and trying to do it all, this episode is a reminder to slow down and enjoy the ordinary moments that often turn out to be the most sacred ones. 🤍 Because maybe the life we’ve been praying for is the one we’re already living.

Ep. 41 - When God Feels Silent

Lately, I’ve been struggling. I’ve been praying, reading Scripture, trying to stay faithful, and asking God for wisdom, guidance, and just one next step… and if I’m being honest, it has felt a little bit like a ghost town. In this episode, I’m opening up about the discouragement, confusion, and spiritual attacks I’ve been experiencing lately, the lies I’ve been fighting in my own mind, and the tension of trusting God’s plan when I can’t see what He’s doing. We’re diving into Psalm 18 and why David’s words hit me so deeply this week. Because maybe faith isn’t having all the answers. Maybe it’s continuing to trust God even when the answers haven’t come yet. If you’ve ever felt behind, unheard, unseen, or wondered if God has forgotten about you, this episode is for you.
