When You Have NOTHING Left (Ezekiel 37:4)

When You Have NOTHING Left (Ezekiel 37:4)

There are seasons when your relationships, your work, your family, and your finances can feel sad, empty, hopeless, and DRY. In this replay episode, Jacquelyn Smith returns to go even deeper into the prayer and the verse she spoke over her life when she was going through her hardest season of grief, thinking her second marriage was on the brink of divorce, and she was taking the biggest risk of her career when she was more broke than ever. If you’ve been asking God to rebuild something that feels broken, dismal, or too far gone, this conversation is for you. Bible Verse: Ezekiel 37 : 4 Welcome to She Wrestles with God, a daily devotional program that will help women like you to get to know God, practice prayer, and see more miracles. If you're feeling a pull to get closer to God while also wrestling with ambition, guilt, self-doubt, relationships, unanswered prayers, big life decisions, and a packed schedule, you're in the right place! Most episodes are only 5-15 minutes long, and my hope is that whether you listen for a few seconds or binge every word, you'll sign off feeling lighter, more joyful, more grounded, and more capable of becoming the person God made you to be.

Doubting God, Tithing at Church, and JUDGING Christians feat. Jacqueline Smith

Christians are the most judgmental people on the planet... That's how she felt, until one sentence from a man flipped everything she thought she knew about Jesus and encouraged her to just start talking to God. Jacqueline Smith joins "She Wrestles with God" for a two-part replay, where we talk about starting a brand new relationship with the Lord, understanding some of the seemingly odd worship rituals at Church, navigating challenging seasons in marriage, and how to bring God into your business, your finances, and TITHING. You're gonna wanna SHARE this one (or at least a few of these phrases) with your friend who keeps saying that God just isn't for her.

GOD IN THE MIDDLE (Ecclesiastes 4:12)

For so long, I chased validation... Whether it was wanting to be chosen by the right man, accepted by the cool groups of friends, or counting followers online. I thought THOSE would make me feel complete. But, nope. In this replay episode, I’m talking about what changed when I stopped making love about being picked and started understanding what it truly means to build relationships (and friendships and teams) with God at the center. If you’re praying for a love, marriage, or friendship that feels deeper than chemistry and stronger than circumstance, this conversation is for you.

Breaking Toxic Dating Patterns (1 Peter 5:8)

You keep telling yourself it was just bad luck, poor timing, or the wrong guy, but what if there’s a deeper pattern God is trying to help you see... In this episode, I’m talking about toxic dating patterns, ignored red flags, drinking on dates, and some of the ways we accidentally settle for less and date down. If you’re tired of attracting emotionally unavailable or emotionally immature men and asking why the same thing keeps happening, this conversation is for you (because it happened over and over and over to me).

Why Your Family Won't Take You SERIOUSLY (Mark 6:3-4)

You keep waiting for their approval before you go for the BIG thing, but a part of you already knows it may not be coming (at least not anytime soon) ... And here's the TRUTH: Sometimes the people who love you most are the ones who have the hardest time seeing who you’re becoming. (Not even JESUS was taken seriously in his own hometown.) If you’ve ever felt dismissed, underestimated, or quietly desperate for someone close to you to finally understand this version of you, this conversation is for you.
