Head to Heart

Do you ever feel hesitant to enjoy singleness because you’re afraid God will decide to keep you single? Do you worry you’re doing something wrong to keep yourself single without knowing? Are you just tired of being the single one out? Every season comes with its own joys & challenges. God actually wants you to enjoy singleness, not just endure it. Brynna walked us through steps to make the most of...

Kate Berkey is an author & missionary who has experienced how exercising the muscle of courage can drastically change your life. Fear is universal & no one is exempt from feeling it, but everyone has a choice in what to do with it. Kate shares her story about how she took an initially leap of faith and stepped over the wall of comfort to find joy, purpose & connection. You can pre-order Kate’s new...

I’ve come to the conclusion that success is not worth it if Jesus is not the One defining it. Do you ever feel discontent with where your life is at? Do you have a number in your head that you think will satisfy you once you reach it? We hear constant messages about getting to whatever is next & to just keep hustling. We need to redefine what “success” means because if it means constant striving,...

For being as important as we claim it to be, missions done wrong can leave a lot of harm in its aftermath. Who is a short term mission trip really for? Is it for the benefit of those overseas or a glorified vacation? Is it missions even worth it? It is very possibly for a short term mission trip to actually harm the locals they supposedly “help”. Jillian told us her personal story of figuring out...

Do you ever fear being completely honest with God about your desires? Do good things entering your life cause you to become anxious? I recorded a SOLO episode & told my story of starting to date my now husband & how such a great thing caused me so much anxiety. It all went back to my beliefs about God. I thought God wanted me to suffer because that’s when He would help me grow, but He showed me Hi...

How can God trust you with leadership positions if you can’t even submit to your current boss? It’s one thing when a peer makes a mistake, but what do we do when our leadership makes lots of mistakes? What if the leadership we’re under is blatantly wrong? It is so easy to harbor bitterness because we expect our leaders to do better, but that bitterness is only hurting ourselves. Megan & I discusse...

Our insides usually reflect onto our outsides. If our minds are chaotic, our lives will follow suit. Ishriel shared her story of how the Lord set her free from a cloudy, depressed mindset after a difficult family loss & taught her how to see who was really on the throne of her heart. She walked us through how to evaluate our own priorities, set them straight, and experience the Father’s love & jea...

Welcome to Head to Heart Podcast. I’m your host, Jenny Marcum. This bi-weekly podcast is designed to be a safe space to admit what we truly believe in our hearts. We all know the difference between just having Biblical knowledge floating around in our heads & actually believing that it’s true. Until God’s Truth makes it’s way into our hearts, nothing changes. We’ll be doing a mix of solo episodes...

Drew Lang was our special guest on the show and we talked all about growth in our Christian walks. As a youth pastor, he sees the deer in be headlights look as new believers ask, “Now what?” Whether you’re a new Christian, feel stuck or just want to grow more, this episode will help you reach out to the right mentors in your life, remove shame from your perspective, and leave unhealthy patterns of...

Are immigrants taking all the jobs in the United States? What does the Bible say about undocumented immigrants? This was actually a biblical issue before it was a political one. Megan McKarns & I discussed all the myths about immigration & what Jesus means by the command to “care for the foreigner”.

Why are my past mistakes still affecting me if I’m supposedly forgiven? How do I actually believe what God says about me? What is the difference between shame vs. conviction? My best friend of 7 years, Ava Cheffer, shared her own story about how shame is one of the enemy’s top strategies to keep us from living our lives to the fullest. Shame is a universal experience, but we do not have to stay st...

Sierra came back for Part 2 of Lies of Purity Culture! It’s so easy to use blanket statements to avoid the mess. We hear sayings like “Just cover up” or “Just don’t date”. But those don’t address questions like, “What am I supposed to do if I’m struggling with lust?” or “How can I set good boundaries for myself?” The message we could be told is that our bodies are bad. But it’s heart issues that n...

Daci Hudson is a long-time friend & long-time freedom fighter. She helped us unpack the process of detecting lies, experiencing freedom in the Lord’s Truth, and the dangers of staying silent. We might think we’re safe hiding behind walls in our hearts, but all we are doing is missing out on the true joy that Jesus can give us. Refuse to live behind lies any longer - there is more for you!

Our friend Shyann shares her experience, transformation, and daily choice of trusting in God’s character & living the life we’re called to live in Christ.

Gabrielle Ezell joined us and shared such a convicting message! We defined the term “toxic person”, explained how to spot a toxic relationship, create healthy boundaries, forgive those who have offended us, and love those difficult people in our lives. We can say, “They handed me the scissors, so I should cut them off”, but how many times have we handed Jesus those same scissors? He has chosen to...

Sierra joined us to talk about how purity culture has spread throughout the church & has harmed many Christians along the way, specifically in the area of modesty. We discussed why the majority of blame is cast only on women, and how every person is called to be pure and have integrity, regardless of gender. Jesus didn’t actually say much about what to wear and not wear, but He always talked about...

Can I be depressed and a Christian? Does my anxiety mean that I’m failing God? If God cares, why does He allow suffering? Victoria Hedger walks through all those questions and shares her own experience in learning how mental illness and faith coexist. She defines prosperity gospel and how the actual Gospel explains that Christ is always with us in our suffering.

My friends Hannah & Anna join me as we define the term “father wounds”, share personal stories of past trauma and healing, God’s desire to heal those past hurts, and how much the father figure impacts the identity of their children in the family unit.

Joe, now my husband(!), joined us for his 3rd episode where we answered YOUR questions about our love story, transition from engagement to marriage & things we have learned along the way!

My dear friend Anna came on to define what the words “rest” & “sabbath” really mean, tell us how to avoid burnout, and encourage us why being proactive in rest is so important to our lives if we want to thrive and not just survive.

Zoei shares the redemptive work of God tearing down the father wounds she had in order to see God for who He truly is.

Corinna lays down truth that will set you free to love as Christ loves and eliminate the sinful habit of ignoring confrontation and using passive aggressiveness instead.

Hannah Penny walks us through her own personal story of recovery from several addictions and how freedom is for this side of heaven too!

Our special guest, Tiffany, wanted to tackle fear, failure, and steps of faith in this week’s episode. Tune in to discover how we are supposed to discern God’s will for our lives instead of being stuck in fear and indecision.

Our dear pal Liz joined the conversation at the start of Season 2 to share about being open to God’s plan, even when it looks very different than your own.
