The Jessica Jená Podcast

A man asked for my number, and when I told him, “I have a man,” he responded, “Do you cheat?” That question stayed with me but for a completely different reason. In this episode, I’m diving into Hosea 1 and asking a deeper question: Do we cheat on God? We say we belong to Him, but have relationships, validation, success, control, or our own desires taken His place? This isn’t about condemnation; i...

Sometimes the hardest part of growth is resisting the urge to run back to what feels familiar. In this episode, I get transparent about navigating an uncomfortable season, recognizing the habits and patterns she’s outgrown, and becoming more intentional about who God is calling me to be. Because everything you leave behind isn’t necessarily bad, some things you’re simply too grown for now. If this...

Friend, no matter what you may be going through, remember this: God is always working. Even when you can’t see it, feel it, or understand it, He is working. You don’t have to have all the answers today. Rest in knowing that God is handling what concerns you. xoxo, Jess

Have you ever felt like you've put your life on pause while waiting on God? In this episode, I'm sharing something the Holy Spirit recently revealed to me.

If you've been waiting for the breakthrough, the open door, the healing, the relatio...

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...
