In this episode of The Jessica Jená Podcast, we’re talking about the power of speaking God’s Word over your life and circumstances.

Friend, no matter what you may be going through, remember this: God is always working. Even when you can’t see it, feel it, or understand it, He is working. You don’t have to have all the answers today. Rest in knowing that God is handling what concerns you. xoxo, Jess
Have you ever felt like you've put your life on pause while waiting on God? In this episode, I'm sharing something the Holy Spirit recently revealed to me. I realized I had been holding my breath, waiting for God to answer a few specific prayers before allowing myself to fully enjoy the life He's already given me. If you've been waiting for the breakthrough, the open door, the healing, the relationship, or the answered prayer before you give yourself permission to live, I want to encourage you today. I'm sharing how God challenged me to stop living on pause and start living with expectation. T
In this episode of The Jessica Jená Podcast, we're talking about how to keep expecting God even when the answer feels delayed. If you've been praying, waiting, and wondering if God has forgotten you, this episode is for you. Jessica shares biblical encouragement from Isaiah 60:22 and Lamentations 3:25, along with practical ways to strengthen your faith, celebrate others without comparison, and trust God's perfect timing. If you're believing God for healing, restoration, breakthrough, or answered prayer, this conversation will remind you to keep praying, keep praising, and above all, keep expec
We're wrapping up our journey through Philippians by diving into the final chapter and unpacking what it really means to rejoice in the Lord always, even when life doesn't feel joyful. Together, we'll talk about the importance of checking our thinking, choosing peace over anxiety, using the God-given authority we have in Christ, and embracing the often uncomfortable process of learning while unlearning. Sometimes God isn't just teaching us something new; He's helping us let go of old mindsets that no longer align with who He's called us to be. If you've been asking God to transform your mind,
This week, we’re diving into Philippians 3 and asking some hard but necessary questions: Who has access to your ears? Is your flesh speaking, or is God’s Spirit leading? And where have you been placing your confidence? Join me as we talk about auditing the voices we listen to, praying before we react, and learning to place our confidence in Christ rather than in ourselves. Friend, this episode is your reminder to quiet the noise, trust God’s leading, and keep pressing forward. Peace is your portion. Let’s grow together. xoxo, Jess
In this episode of The Jessica Jená Podcast, we're continuing our journey through the book of Philippians. Philippians 2 challenges us to examine our hearts, our motives, and the way we treat people. Are we living from a place of humility or selfish ambition? Are we only looking out for ourselves, or are we considering the needs of others? Let's talk about the kind of mindset that reflects Christ and how we can live it out every day. xoxo, Jess
Have you ever found yourself in a season you didn't choose? In Episode 1 of our Philippians series, we're talking about what it looks like to trust God when life doesn't go according to plan. Through Philippians Chapter 1, we'll explore how God can use every season—even the difficult ones—to grow us, prepare us, and move His purpose forward. Friend, just because the story isn't finished doesn't mean God isn't working. Scripture: Philippians 1 xoxo, Jess
In this episode, we’re praying for the woman who has been carrying too much for too long. The woman who is tired, discouraged by delay, overwhelmed financially, trying to get back into alignment with God, and believing Him for a new thing. Sometimes life can leave you exhausted mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically… but even there, God still meets us. This episode is a reminder that delay does not mean denial, exhaustion is not your permanent portion, and God is still able to renew, restore, provide, and redirect you. Girlfriend, if you’ve been feeling heavy lately, this prayer is
What have you been carrying that God never asked you to hold onto? In this episode of the Jessica Jená Podcast, we’re talking about the weight of worry, disappointment, fear, offense, pressure, and control…and how so many of us are exhausted because we’ve been carrying things that belong at God’s feet. Sometimes we pray, but still carry the burden. We cry, but still hold onto the pain. We ask God for peace while refusing to release what’s been heavy on our hearts. But the Bible tells us to cast our cares on Him because He cares for us. This episode is a reminder that you were never meant to ca
You may not understand what God is doing now.....keep going anyway! xoxo, Jess
What do you do in the waiting season? In this episode, I’m sitting in tension with you. The in-between time, the not yet time, the “God, I know You said it… But I don’t see it yet.” Inspired by Isaiah 40:31 and Psalms 27:14, we’re talking about what it really means to wait on the Lord… not passively, but with expectation, posture, and trust. Because waiting isn’t punishment, it’s preparation. While you wait, God is strengthening you.While you wait, He’s refining your heart.While you wait, He’s aligning things you can’t even see yet. “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthe
What if the very thing you prefer is the thing holding you back? In this episode, we’re having a real conversation about how our preferenceslwhat we like, what feels comfortable, what we’re used to, can sometimes get in the way of what God is trying to do in our lives. Because let’s be honest… we love control. We love what makes sense to us. We love what feels good. But what happens when God’s plan doesn’t match our preference? I’m sharing how choosing comfort over obedience can delay growth, keep you in cycles, and even cause you to miss what God has already prepared for you. This is your rem
In this episode, we’re getting real about distractions. What they look like, how they show up, and how they can quietly pull us away from who God is calling us to be. I’m talking about choosing not to settle… especially when it comes to relationships. Waiting on a man of God is not always easy, but it’s necessary when you know your worth and your assignment. This is your reminder that loneliness is not a reason to lower your standards. As we step into a new quarter, I also want you to ask yourself: What version of me am I feeding?Is it the old habits, old mindset, and old cycles… or the woman
Have you ever had that quiet knowing in your spirit that your life is supposed to look different? Like you're doing well and checking the boxes, but something inside you keeps whispering that there’s more? In this episode, I share how a blog post I recently read deeply inspired me and stirred something in my spirit about purpose, identity, and trusting the process of becoming who God has called you to be. I reflect on the journey of feeling out of place, the frustration of ambition without clarity, and why sometimes the biggest shift we need isn’t a new opportunity, it’s a new identity. If you
Purchase your devotinal here: https://payhip.com/b/o2t1l There’s a season many of us don’t talk about, the season where you’re still believing God, but quietly wondering if He has something more for you… or if you should be further along by now. In this episode of the Jessica Jená Podcast, we’re talking about that in-between space: when the promise feels quiet, comparison starts to creep in, and waiting begins to test your faith. I’m sharing encouragement for the woman who’s still showing up, still praying, but wrestling with doubt, delay, and unanswered questions. This episode is for the woma
In this Waiting to Exhale, Pt. 2 episode, I’m sitting with a question from the opening scene of Waiting to Exhale that hit different as an adult: Do you know where you want to be tonight, and do you know where you want to be next year? This conversation is for the person who’s tired of settling with a smile and calling it patience. We’re talking about being honest with God, defining where you want to be this time next year, and learning to partner with Him rather than passively waiting. If you’re ready to stop surviving your season and start breathing on purpose, this episode is for you.
Watching Waiting to Exhale as an adult hits differently. In this episode, I reflect on the powerful life lessons we can pull from Savannah, Bernadine, Robin, and Gloria, and how their journeys around love, healing, identity, and self-worth mirror seasons many women experience today. This conversation explores the difference between waiting and settling, choosing peace over pressure, rebuilding after heartbreak, and learning how to exhale without abandoning yourself. If you’re navigating singleness, healing, boundaries, or trusting God in a season of waiting, this episode will meet you right wh
I pray that this episode reaches whoever needs it. xoxo, Jess
There comes a moment when you realize you can’t respond the way everyone else does. Not because you’re better but because you’re called. In this episode, I’m talking about why your response matters, how frustration can tempt you to react your way out of position, and what it really means to die to self. Inspired by Job 32:1, this conversation is a reminder that your calling and anointing require maturity, restraint, and wisdom, especially when silence feels harder than speaking. If you’ve been feeling tested, misunderstood, or provoked, this episode will help you guard your posture, protect yo
Waiting on God can feel uncomfortable, quiet, and confusing. In this episode, we talk about what to do while you’re waiting, how to remind your situation who God is, how to remind your flesh of what He’s already done, and how to stay faithful in the small while you trust Him with the big. If you’re in a season of waiting and need encouragement to stay grounded, hopeful, and obedient, this episode is for you. xoxo, Jess
There comes a moment when you have to choose a side. Will you keep pouring into who you used to be, or will you finally cultivate the woman God has been calling you to become? In this episode, I’m talking about the tension so many of us feel: being tired of our circumstances, yet still attached to old habits, mindsets, and comfort zones. Inspired by the moment Jacob becomes Israel, this conversation is an honest reminder that transformation doesn’t come from complaining; it comes from commitment. If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or tempted to settle, this show is for you. We’re talkin
In this episode, we reflect on Genesis 25:29–34 and the story of Esau and Jacob to talk about what happens when we don’t fully understand the weight of what we carry. How often do we make decisions out of hunger, exhaustion, or impatience: trading what’s sacred for temporary comfort? This conversation is a gentle reminder to pause, honor your calling, and protect what God has placed on your life. Sis, not everything that satisfies you is safe for you. xoxo, Jess
New year, same realness. xoxo, Jess
