For the One
This week we welcome Jen Gleghorn to the conversation for an honest look at the loyalties that shape us—and what happens when drawing closer to God begins to untether them. Jen has belonged to the same church since she was four or five years old. Forty-plus years. Her kids grew up there, her granddaughter is there now, and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone more devoted to a place. So when God invited her into a closer walk and she sensed it would challenge her very definition of loyalty, it scared her. What she discovered in the season since is the heart of this episode: that her deep faithfulness to her church had quietly risen to the same level as her loyalty to God—maybe even higher. Jen shares the shift she felt from an Empire mindset to a Kingdom one, why our ultimate loyalty belongs to God alone, and how that reordering changes everything about why we stay and why we go. It's also a frank conversation about leaving well—the difference between being genuinely released by God and simply following our emotions out the door, and what a truly godly posture looks like when it's time to go. If you've ever wrestled with where your loyalty really rests, you'll want to sit with this one. About Jen Gleghorn Ph. D: Jen has taught high school English for 21 years and has been a volunteer staff pastor at Bridge of Hope Church in Boardman, Ohio since 2021. She has been married to Brandon for 25 years and together they have three children and two grand children. Her hobbies consist of reading, writing, and experiencing the world and people God created. Jen’s ministry focus has been walking alongside people who find themselves stuck in emotions and patterns of behavior, but who are looking for growth and hope for their lives. As she likes to say: awareness is good, deliverance is better, but freedom is the best.
