Going against the grain: how we make a one income lifestyle work and choose faith over a paycheck

I’m not the Perfect Christian Mom (And That’s the Point)

Have you ever felt like you need to have everything figured out before you can encourage someone else? In today’s episode: I’m sharing why I’m not the perfect Christian mom and why that’s actually the point. This podcast isn’t about pretending or that I have all the answers. It’s about testifying to God’s faithfulness in the middle of the journey. Every day, the Lord is continuing to shape me, refine me, and make me more like Him. While I still fall short, His grace is sufficient, and His work in my life is ongoing. I believe God can use imperfect people to encourage others because our hope has never been in ourselves-it’s always been in Him. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like you’re not “good enough,” not spiritual enough, or not qualified to speak about your faith because you’re still growing, I hope this episode reminds you that God delights in using ordinary people for His glory.

An explanation: where have I been?

Hi guys, Jessica here. The last I posted was in February and then I kinda just disappeared with no explanation. So even though it’s not Monday I wanted to hop on and say hi and tell you where I’ve been, what I’ve been up to and what’s next. Grab a cup of tea and let’s chat

5 Minute encouragements: How to actually change your husband

Today I am launching a new series called 5 minute encouragements! These will be episodes of the podcast that are about 5 minutes that are packed to the brim with some quick encouragement for you on different topics. Today’s topic: How do you actually get your husband to change? And plot twist it might not be what you think. I hope you will be encouraged and challenged and will walk away with a new perspective on how to encourage your husband and be challenged in how you can be a joyful wife.

Where I’ve been

Hi! And welcome back! And today’s episode I talk about why I’ve been a little bit absent from the social media world. Sometimes it’s best to recognize what works during a season and what needs to be removed and how it’s ok to not always do everything. I hope you can be encouraged to know it’s ok to set things down to focus on what’s in front of you instead of what’s going on around you

How to have peace that lasts-even when life changes

I’m so excited to welcome you into Season 5 of Motherhood on Mondays with a brand new, encouraging episode all about peace that lasts—even when life feels uncertain or constantly changing. As millennials, we hear so much about mental health, trauma, therapy, and the importance of “protecting your peace.” While those conversations matter, have you ever stopped to ask—what does the Bible actually say about peace? In this episode, we take a deeper look at Scripture to uncover where true, lasting peace comes from and why guarding your peace may not be the biblical call we think it is. Instead, we’ll explore what Scripture tells us we are truly meant to guard—and it might surprise you. If you’re feeling weary, anxious, or craving something steadier than circumstantial peace, this episode is for you. Let’s reset our hearts, anchor ourselves in truth, and step into a peace that isn’t fragile—but firmly rooted in Christ.
