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 unlea...

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...

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...

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 me...

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 d...

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...

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. Whil...

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 pla...

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 i...

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 yo...

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 w...

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...

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 aft...

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 m...

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...

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 conversati...

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....

New year, same realness. xoxo, Jess

In this powerful episode of The Jessica Jená Podcast, we’re talking about the connection between letting go and walking in audacity for the future.

You cannot step boldly into your future while holding tightly to past seasons, old mindsets, unhealthy attachment...

In this week’s episode, Jess shares how God shifts your perspective when you start to see yourself through His eyes. The title, “He Wasn’t Man Enough,” isn’t about the man, it’s about the moment you realize God is calling you higher, and your desire for more begins to change. She unpacks why your standards start rising, why certain relationships no longer feel aligned, and how to embrace the seaso...
