Light Of Life with R.Jenkins

Send us Fan Mail When the people who should know you best look at your dream and shrug, it can mess with your confidence fast. We start with that tension head-on: what do you do when God gives you a clear vision, but your family, friends, or community treat it like it’s unrealistic, dramatic, or even “too much”? We sit in Mark 6 and watch Jesus face the same thing in his hometown. The crowd can’t...

Send us Fan Mail We wrestle with the hard question of forgiving your parents when Scripture says to honor them but your history says you are hurt. I share my own journey from resentment to fond memories, then lay out practical steps to heal, set boundaries, and let God fill the gaps your family could not.  • the tension between honoring parents and acknowledging real harm  • why God’s comfort is m...

Send us Fan Mail Forgiveness is not just about the person who was hurt; we also look at the posture of the person who needs mercy and wants a relationship restored. We walk through Luke 7 and learn how gratitude, humility, and patience rebuild trust far better than entitlement ever will.  • the overlooked question of what the forgiven person should do next  • Luke 7:36-50 and what the “sinful woma...

Send us Fan Mail Disappointment with God can quietly change how we pray, hope, and trust, especially when life turns out nothing like we pictured. I walk through why that tension happens and how faith can mature until it stays anchored even when outcomes hurt. • disappointment that makes us hesitant to pray again  • Thomas saying “I will not believe” as self-protection after pain  • the expectatio...

Send us Fan Mail We name the tension between what the world rewards as beauty and what God values in the heart, then we put appearance back in its proper place. I share Scripture, cultural realities, and my own story to help you walk away with clearer worth that does not rise and fall with trends.  • the beauty industry’s power and why the topic feels unavoidable  • two church extremes that either...

Send us Fan Mail We start a new series on surrendering our sexuality to God by getting honest about attraction and the confusion it can create. We break down why attraction is not automatically romance, how the body can mislabel signals, and how discernment plus boundaries keeps our faith and relationships healthy.  • the call to surrender every part of self to God including sexuality  • why attra...

Send us Fan Mail The hardest moments of faith are rarely the dramatic ones. They’re the quiet seconds when you realize you could cut a corner, stay silent, or ignore what you know is right and nobody would catch you. That’s where obedience becomes real, and that’s where this conversation goes.  We unpack a question many believers carry: if salvation is secure in Christ, why does “doing the right t...

Send us Fan Mail Freedom is everywhere right now and not just as a political idea, but as a lifestyle command: follow your desires, reject limits, define your own truth. But what if the “you” doing the choosing has been quietly trained by advertising, entertainment, and social media algorithms? I want to slow that word down and test it, because a lot of what gets called freedom today is simply inf...

Send us Fan Mail We wrestle with why battles keep showing up and why life can feel like a constant climb. We share the message God gave us about staying alive through struggle and learning to hover over chaos until something new is formed.  • praising God in up seasons and praying in trouble through James 5:13  • facing repeated challenges and asking if life will ever flow  • hearing God say strug...

Send us Fan Mail In this Women’s Month episode of the Light of Life Podcast, Rutendo reflects on the profound lessons from Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:3–30). As Jesus travels from Judea to Galilee, the Gospel notes that “He had to go through Samaria” (John 4:4)—a statement that reveals divine intention rather than coincidence. At Jacob’s well, a simple request for...

Send us Fan Mail In Part 2 of “Spared on Purpose,” we move from naming survivor’s guilt to dismantling it. Why do we feel guilty for surviving? And how does Scripture help us take every thought captive and reclaim purpose after loss?

Send us Fan Mail In this deeply personal episode of the Light of Life Podcast, Rutendo opens up about losing her brother during COVID and the quiet battle that followed  survivor’s guilt. Why do we sometimes feel guilty for being alive? Why does survival feel heavy instead of grateful? And how did we learn to associate death with wrongdoing and survival with superiority?

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Light of Life Podcast, Rutendo Jenkins unpacks the meaning of rejection through biblical insight, personal experience, and spiritual wisdom. This teaching explores why rejection hurts so deeply, how God uses rejection for alignment and protection, and why being rejected from one place does not mean you are disqualified from purpose.

Send us Fan Mail Asking for help can feel uncomfortable, exposing, or even shameful. In a world that values independence, many people struggle to ask for help, especially from God. In this episode of the Light of Life Podcast, Rutendo Jenkins reflects on why asking for help is not weakness but relationship. Drawing from scripture and personal insight, we look at how God invites us to ask, even whe...

Send us Fan Mail Last time we spoke about rejection, how it can protect you, refine you, and redirect you. But what happens when a “no” is not protection… it’s resistance? In this episode of Woman Wednesday, we balance the conversation. In this episode, we explore the other side of rejection, the kind that requires discernment and tenacity. Through the story of the Syrophoenician woman (Matthew 15...
