Why Are You Still Carrying Those Past Burdens?

Why Are You Still Carrying Those Past Burdens?

Have you ever reached a point where you realised that a season of your life had ended, but part of you was still carrying the burdens from it? In this episode of the Jules4Jesus Podcast, we explore what it means to cross over strongly into a new season with God. After reflecting on the endings of Jeremiah's words, Job's words, and David's season of fleeing, I was reminded of a powerful truth: Some seasons are supposed to end. God never intended us to build permanent homes in temporary places. Through the stories of Jeremiah, Job and David at the Jordan River, we look at what belongs in the next season—and what doesn't. What should we take with us? Faith. Worship. Hope. God's promises. And what should we leave behind? The burdens. The fears. The regrets. The things Jesus has already carried for us. If you've been sensing that God is doing something new in your life, this episode is for you. ✨ Take what sustains you. ✨ Leave what overburdens you. ✨ Cross over strongly. 📖 Scriptures referenced: • Jeremiah 20 • Jeremiah 30 • Jeremiah 51 • Job 31 & 42 • 2 Samuel 19 • Psalm 55:22 • Isaiah 43:18-19 • 2 Corinthians 5:17 • Luke 9:62 • Hebrews 8 & 12

Have You Lost Hope? (Good News Is On The Way)

Have you ever felt like nothing is happening? You've prayed. You've waited. You've trusted God. And yet the answer seems delayed. In this episode of the Jules4Jesus Podcast, we explore a beautiful and often-overlooked moment from 2 Samuel, where a watchman spots a lone runner on the horizon and King David says: "He is a good man. He comes with good news." What if hope is not pretending everything is fine? What if hope is choosing to believe that God's goodness is still on the way—even when all you can see is a tiny speck in the distance? Together we'll explore: ✨ Why David expected good news ✨ What it means to "sit in the gateway" ✨ How disappointment can cause us to stop expecting God's goodness ✨ Why Jesus is the ultimate Good News ✨ How to remain hopeful during difficult waiting seasons If you've been discouraged, weary, disappointed, or wondering whether God is still working behind the scenes, this episode is for you. Don't stop watching the horizon. There may be a runner on the road. And he comes with good news. ❤️ If this episode encouraged you, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE it with someone who needs hope today. 📖 Scriptures Referenced: • 2 Samuel 18 • 2 Samuel 19 • Isaiah 52:7 • Isaiah 61:1 • Hebrews 8–9

Why Is It Taking So Long And What To Do While You are Waiting

Have you ever felt like God gave you a promise... but forgot to give you a timeline? Maybe you're waiting for clarity. Waiting for healing. Waiting for a breakthrough. Waiting for a door to open. Waiting for God to move. And if you're anything like me, you've probably been tempted to help God along a little by overthinking, overanalysing, and emotionally sprinting ahead of His timing. In this episode, we explore the powerful story of David standing at the gate and Ahimaaz, the messenger who ran before the time was right. What happens when we rush ahead of God's timing? What if "not yet" isn't rejection? What if waiting is actually preparation? Join me as we talk about: Trusting God when nothing seems to be happening Why "not now" does not mean "never" The danger of emotional shortcuts Fruit in season versus rushed fruit Learning to wait at the gate without panicking If you're in a season of waiting, uncertainty, or unanswered questions, this episode is for you.  Key Scriptures: • 2 Samuel 18 • Ecclesiastes 3:11 • Psalm 46:10 • Song of Solomon 2:7 • Leviticus 27 Don't forget to subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a comment. I'd love to hear what God is teaching you in your waiting season. And if you're still standing at the gate... Take heart. God isn't late. He's still writing the story.

Stop Asking for Signs (Do This Instead)

Have you ever felt certain that God spoke… only to start doubting again when nothing happened? One moment you're at peace. You pray. You read Scripture. Something lands deeply in your heart. And then the waiting begins. Suddenly you're looking for another sign. Another confirmation. Another clue that you heard God correctly. In this week's episode of the Jules4Jesus Podcast, we explore the powerful story of the Queen of Sheba and discover the difference between testing God by demanding signs and seeking wisdom through relationship. Jesus tells us that the people of Nineveh believed Jonah, and that the Queen of Sheba travelled across deserts to hear Solomon's wisdom. Then He makes an astonishing statement: "Now something greater than Jonah is here." "Now something greater than Solomon is here." That "something" is Jesus. Together we'll unpack: ✨ Why the Queen of Sheba tested Solomon with hard questions ✨ The difference between seeking signs and seeking wisdom ✨ What it means to bring ALL your questions to God ✨ The true meaning of "the desires of your heart" ✨ Why waiting seasons are often preparation seasons ✨ How relationship with God transforms our desires If you've been overthinking, second-guessing, or asking God for one more sign, this episode is for you. 📖 Scriptures: Luke 11 1 Kings 10 2 Chronicles 9 Psalm 37 Song of Songs #Jules4Jesus #ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney #TrustGod

Stop Overthinking (Do This Instead)

What if the thing you keep calling “faith”… is actually your fear of letting go? In this deeply honest episode, we talk about: • resisting the Holy Spirit without realising it • the difference between bold prayer and trying to control the outcome • anxiety disguised as “doing something” • constantly checking, analysing, overthinking and striving • and what true submission to God actually looks like From Acts 7 to the persistent widow in Luke 18, this episode confronts the subtle ways we hold onto control while calling it surrender. And if you’ve ever: * replayed conversations in your head * checked your phone “just one more time” * tried to manage an outcome instead of trusting God * or wrestled with fear of rejection and uncertainty… then this episode is for you. This is not about becoming passive. It’s about learning the difference between faithful dependence… and spiritualised striving.
