She Wrestles with God | Daily Devotional for Strong Women

You would never leave the house without your keys or your phone, but we can very easily go hours, days, perhaps even weeks without even thinking about Jesus. Here's a little reminder (and also a little gift that can keep on giving and giving and giving) to make sure you're never without what (or rather, WHO) is most important.

My friend Aliha popped into the studio today and asked the most wholesome question, "How do you pray with your partner?" (We affectionately refer to this man, my fiancé, on the show as "Honey", in case you're new here.) But, as usual and as friends do, we also touched on misconceptions for what it means to be "equally yoked" and communication red flags that you ma...

If you are in a season of busyness, this one is for you. You're not taking care of yourself like you know you should, you barely have enough time to sleep, you're juggling everyone and everything and trying to be everywhere and all at once. You're praying for God to show you the way, even though you can't even discern what's immediately in front of you right now. Here's exa...

If the thought of going on a date (or any social situation, for that matter) without alcohol sounds boring, bizarre, or just plain TERRIFYING, then this episode is for you. Maybe alcohol isn't the liquid courage or truth serum you thought it was, after all...

If you've been telling yourself it's too late -- to be a wife, to be a mom, to pursue whatever calling it is that you believe God put on your heart -- this episode is for you (and was very intentionally uploaded the day after Mother's Day). Not only do we talk about trusting God's timing and His design, but we also touch on the calling of singleness, how we can accidentally idolize...

She had no money, a husband drowning in grief, no friends, three (soon to be four) boys, and a faith she barely understood. Then she stumbled across a Bible verse that taught her how to breathe life into things that look dry, dismal, and dead, especially finances, relationships, and hard seasons. (Seriously, this Bible verse SAVED her marriage.) LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE: https://spotifycreators-...

Jacqueline grew up thinking Christians were the most judgmental people on the planet and wanted nothing to do with Jesus, but then her boyfriend (now, husband) said one sentence that changed the entire trajectory of her life and she started talking to God about EVERYTHING (and He started talking BACK). In this conversation, we talk about how God breathed life into her marriage (especially in times...

Technically, manifesting IS in the Bible... (The Lord asks us to pray as if it's already happened and promises to give us immeasurably more than we could ever ask for or imagine)... BUT, somewhere along the way, you replaced "God, I trust You" with "UNIVERSE, I'm calling it in" -- and those are NOT the same conversation. Let's discuss this one AGAIN with this specia...

This is for you if you're ready for some new friends, but -- LET'S BE SO REAL -- solid adult friendships hard to find (or, at least, that's what you're telling yourself). Maybe you're moving to a new city, entering a new era, or just feeling a little alone in your circles, so we talk about making space for new friends, how to start conversations with strangers, and how to BE th...

This is especially for you if you're in a season of struggle, suffering, or loss -- maybe it's your job, your relationship, or your sense of self -- and you're wondering what the lesson is, when it'll be over, or if God even sees you right now. (He does, by the way. He ALWAYS does. And he knows exactly what He's doing in this season.) Bible Verse: Job 2 : 6-7 Show Notes: NIV St...

That's right: We're talking about SEX... This is especially for you if your dating patterns keep ending the same way -- too fast, too soon, and you wake up feeling like you gave something away you can't get back. But it's ALSO for those of you who are coupled up or married up and may need a reminder of God's design for physical intimacy, which can accidentally start to feel sup...

Whenever you find yourself self-sabotaging, procrastinating, or in a toxic loop, this is the one question that wakes me up, snaps me out of it, and gets me to my feet, without fail. Sometimes we take the Good Lord's love for granted, so we need to bring the HEAT to come back to Jesus for good. Bible Verse: James 1 : 12 Show Notes: Studded Sweatshirt https://amzn.to/3PXWaKn NIV Study Bible: htt...

This is especially for you if you've been feeling alone lately. (And what's even worse is when you're not actually physically alone, whether you're in a relationship or surrounded by friends, and still feel like you're all alone.) This episode is going to make you rethink what you look for in the people (your partner and especially you best girl friends) who you want to do life...

If you've been keeping work and God separate, this episode is for you. Whether you're serving coffee, stuck in a cubicle, or feeling weighed down by running your own business (or even your own household), this is going to retrain your brain to BRING GOD INTO IT. (And, by the way, we have a WHOLE episode that taps into my FIVE favorite Bible verses for bringing God to work with you, which i...

This is PART ONE of the ENGAGEMENT Q + A that kicks off with one of my favorite Bible verses that defines what it truly means to be a wife of noble character. I answer questions specific to our relationship, like how we met, but I especially share some of the ways I got it wrong, dated differently, and readied my heart for marriage. Pretty please comment with MORE questions and with your biggest t...

You say you want the body, the business, the breakthrough, the balance, the baptism... But, do you REALLY? In this episode, we talk about the challenges (and the grief and the uncertainty) that come with healing, inspired by a recent viral clip from comedian and podcaster Theo Von. This might be the a-ha you didn't know you needed for why you might be stuck (or holding on tight to) your curren...

God created man. Then, He created YOU. Not as a second-best. Not as a backup. Not as a slave, a servant, or an assistant. But because man was not meant to do this life alone. I'll be honest... The TROLLS came out to play this week, so this episode was made to remind you how beautifully and wonderfully made you are, equip you with the armor and words of God when someone tries to trick you into...

Whether it's the ex you keep texting, the friend who keeps dragging you down, or the fake coping mechanism that stopped helping three years ago, you keep going back to the thing that made you sick (or stuck or just sad). Today, we're finally breaking the pattern. Bible Verse: Proverbs 26 : 11 Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/shewithgod/   https://www.instagram.com/giselleugarte/   Sho...

Sometimes God loves you TOO much to give you what you're asking for. Trent Shelton is back for a very special edition of our daily devotional, and he shares the verse his mama highlighted in the Bible she gifted him during a season when it felt like nothing was going his way. (Also, you'll never read the letters "NFL" the same way again.) Bible Verses: Jeremiah 29 : 11 -14 Psalm...

Everything is gonna be (more than) okay. Just take it from my friend, who also happens to be one of the best-ever speakers and a best-selling author, Trent Shelton. We GET REAL and talk about some of the hardest moments when God forced us to slow down, how we learned to stop performing and start showing up as the most authentic version of ourselves, what it looks like to find (and live in) your pu...

You keep saying you want a man who leads, who prays, and who shows up. But you keep second-guessing, overthinking, and wondering where you stand. (Babe, that's not a relationship.) It's time to be done with childish standards and childlike behavior, both from him AND from you. It's not your job to turn the boy into a man. Bible Verse: 1 Corinthians 13 : 11 Show Notes:  NIV Study Bible:...

If you're overwhelmed, exhausted, and/or tempted to burn it all down and live in a van down by the river, this is your invitation to slow it down, turn it off, hit pause, take a breath, and REST, just as God intended.

Do you ever fall into that panic spiral, when one to-do suddenly turns into 10, then you look at the clock and you don't have enough hours in the day, so you beat yourself up about what you wish you would've done differently, or how you should have prepared better, and why you're not further along in life, and so on and so on? This episode is for days like THAT. Bible Verse: 1 Peter 5...

They say, "When you know, you know," but you seriously thought you knew, and yet it still didn't work out. If you've been feeling exhausted in your attempts of dating and relationships, this episode will remind you why you should continue to trust God's timeline, play by His rules, and believe in He who is able to do immeasurably more that anything you could pray or even imag...

This is especially for those days (or those weeks) when you feel like everything is falling apart. This episode was recorded raw, in the middle of one of the hardest weeks I've had in a really long time, and I'm bringing you right into it with me, because I truly believe and want you to see what you can find when you feel like you're losing it.
