Eat Don’t Compete with Jazmine DeWees

Discover how to steward the blessings God gives without feeling overwhelmed, and turn every opportunity into faithful, purposeful living—Luke 12:47-48. Are you overwhelmed by the very blessings you prayed for? Sounds strange, until it happens. In today’s episode and the third installment of the Hey God, I Have Questions series, we unpack what it really looks like to balance blessings and be a grea...

Discover how putting God first—especially in life’s busiest moments—can bring real peace, balance, and purpose through Matthew 6:33. In this vulnerable conversation, we dive into what it really means to keep a God-first posture while navigating real life—responsibilities, busyness, and the constant overwhelm that can come with it. This isn’t a picture-perfect discussion; it’s an honest one about w...

Why is finding genuine community so hard in today’s world? In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, Jazmine DeWees explores what it truly means to find your tribe — the spiritual village that helps you grow, heal, and stay rooted in faith. Jazmine unpacks why so many believers struggle to find authentic connections, what the Bible says about godly community (Romans 12, Hebrews 10, Acts 2), and how sp...

  In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, we dive into the tension of becoming who God has called us to be. Drawing from three powerful scriptures—Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32, Paul’s image of jars of clay in 2 Corinthians 4, and the thorn in the flesh in 2 Corinthians 12—we see how struggle, weakness, and dependence on God are all part of spiritual growth. I also unpack the difference bet...

If you know me, then you know I have a childlike curiosity about everything that stirs my heart. In this episode, I’m opening up about some of the things God has been unfolding in my spirit. It’s the beginning of a journey—one filled with questions, discovery, and honest conversations with the Holy Spirit. My hope is that this sparks something in you too, a reminder that we don’t walk this road al...

In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I open up about what it really means to lean into who I truly am. Walking in authenticity can feel heavy when you’re carrying the weight of God’s assignment, but Psalm 139:14 reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (and some versions mention that we are all 'complex').   I share my heart on being nervous about how I show up in the world as I  tru...

In this youth service message, Cheap Wisdom, I made an attempt at diving into what true, godly wisdom looks like according to James 3:13 –17 and Proverbs 1:5–7. And the working definition I've derived is that "wisdom is the skill of discerning [insight into] how to [competently] act on the knowledge that leads to living in accordance to how God has designed for us as Christian to live.   Wisdom is...

In this final episode of the series, I share my personal testimony—my God story—and how I came into the faith. This is my story of how I am "becoming" in Christ. I appreciate everyone who decided to tune in and share my birthday with me. This is a transparent look at the transformational power only Christ can bring. If you’ve ever wondered how God takes a mess and turns it into a miracle, then tun...

In this seventh installment of The Blueprint of Becoming, we’re talking about prayer—not as a performance or formality, but as personal communication with God. Why is prayer important? Why does it matter to talk to the One who created you? Why should the created speak with the creator? And how do we actually pray with power and effectiveness? We’ll explore: Why Jesus calls us His friends (John 15:...

In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I lay it all out, spiritual growth hasn’t been easy. Spiritual warfare has been a cross we’ve all had to bear. And as hard as it has been, I have to admit that having the equipment hasn’t been enough if I didn’t know what to do with it. So, it is my hope that the Lord meets you here in this episode to help us all learn how to use the tools we’ve been equipped...

In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I unpack what real discipleship looks like—and why it’s more than just mentorship or role modeling. Discipleship is intentional. It’s spiritual. And it’s a lifelong process. Dr. Eric Mason said that discipleship is “lifelong process of learning and following Jesus, striving to live a life that reflects His teaching and character.” This episode was important to...

For this to have just been a recap… God really met us right here on the screen—and I'm so thankful. I'm glad I was led to open in prayer with and for you all. Honestly, that moment was a testimony in itself—evidence that God is peeling back the layers in real time. This episode gave us space to pause and reflect on the spiritual journey we've been on so far—starting with salvation, moving through...

In this episode, Part 4 of the Blueprint of Becoming series, we explore the quiet, powerful invitation to repent and release what we were never meant to carry.  The theme of this episode coincides directly with the unorthodox format and laid back atmosphere in which the episode was shot. God is intentional and he met us on the beach. Whether it’s unforgiveness, offense, or emotional weight you’ve...

In this fourth installment of The Blueprint of Becoming, we dive deep into the life-changing power of intimacy with Christ. This isn’t just about knowing about God—it’s about being known by Him. Tune in as we explore the transformational nature of true intimacy with Christ. Beyond surface-level faith, this conversation challenges you to examine whether you are walking in real friendship with God—o...

In this special episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I’m joined by the one and only Patricia Gaskins for a natural and genuine conversation about our identities in Christ and the beautiful, sometimes messy journeys of becoming. How many of us can admit we’re still on that journey? 🙋🏾‍♀️ From laughter to tears, we open up about how God's love has transformed us — how we’re no longer who we once were. We...

In this second installment of our Spiritual Architecture series, we’re diving into a powerful truth: salvation isn’t the end goal—it’s just the beginning. Too often we treat the moment of salvation as a finish line, when in reality, it’s one of the first bricks in the foundation God lays for a life of deep transformation, intimacy, and Kingdom purpose. Throughout this series we will cover: Spiritu...

In today’s episode of the Eat Don’t Compete, the discussion is titled The Blueprint of Becoming: God’s Process of Spiritual Architecture — a transformative 9-part series where we journey through God’s divine building process for both yours and my own spiritual lives. I promise you, I’m not here to talk at you — I’m here to walk with you. This isn’t just a podcast series — it’s a spiritual excavati...

Is God tearing down everything you thought was solid? Good. He's getting ready to rebuild it even stronger. In this milestone episode, I’m sharing what it really looks like when God starts rebuilding things inside of you—on purpose, in purpose, and with purpose. Whether it’s your faith, your identity, your dreams, or your resilience, God is laying a new foundation, and it’s stronger than ever. I’l...

God is stripping away my vanity and using my authenticity to show me that I am enough, that I am equipped and I can do just what he placed in my heart to do. In this raw, unpolished, unfiltered podcast trailer I share with you the essence of the Eat Don't Compete podcast, where I've been and how I've grown. I would love to help you understand God's blueprint for EDC 2.0, the show formerly known as...
