In this truth talk, I’m having a conversation with Revelation Wellness instructors Liz Patton and Summer Faith about how to trust the Holy Spirit instead of diet culture. I invited my friends on to discuss this topic because in our work we find many women are striving for their bodies to look a certain way but end up feeling frustrated and defeated after trying various diets with little success. L...

If you’ve ever been caught in the trap of comparison, this episode is for you. In Lie #56, I’m discussing the lie that there is lack in the kingdom with a dear friend of mine and the mastermind behind Wellness Witness , Kara Osborne. This lie is the breeding ground for comparison and jealousy and when we believe it, we lose sight of God’s promises to us. Today Kara is helping walk us through some...

January is Human Trafficking Awareness month, so in this episode, I’m welcoming back author, survivor, and award-winning, nationally recognized expert on the subject Rebecca Bender to debunk three common myths about human trafficking – that most trafficked children are kidnapped and kept as prisoners, that trafficking requires a sex act, and that women are choosing to sell their bodies and stay wi...

Lie #55 is personal for me as I share about a disappointment in 2020 that left me believing that I’ll never be good enough. Believe me, I know it’s frustrating when you’re pursuing something you know God has called you to, only to be continually met with roadblocks. The good news for us is that God sees the full picture, so we don’t need to be swayed by the opinions of others. We can trust that ch...

Starting a new year gives us a sense of momentum. We find ourselves motived to set new goals for our physical, mental, and spiritual health, but what we can easily neglect is examining how our thoughts are tripping us up. So often we want to fix our external environment without thinking about the internal environment. In this episode, I’m diving into the truth about what the Bible says about how o...

Lie #54 is the last episode in the 4-week series based on my free Know Your Worth Study and today I’m breaking down the lie that who you once were is who you will always be by sharing my personal story.  My childhood was filled with poverty, abuse, and lies and I spent most of my life compensating with men, popularity, and hustle. Through the help of mentors and a gracious, loving Father, my life...

This is the last Truth Talk in our 4-part series based on my free Know Your Worth Study . For the past three weeks, I've been discussing why it's critical to read the Bible as well as some tips to help you better understand what it says. This week, I’m talking about prayer - what it is and isn’t, different types of prayer, and some scriptures of encouragement.  When prayers aren't getting answered...

This is week 3 in my 4-week series based on my free Know Your Worth Study and I’m addressing the lie that we’re not good enough for God. There is a common war I see in many of us - the war between who you are in Christ and who you think you should be. To help unravel this lie, I’m discussing the topics of repentance, restoration, redemption, sanctification, and preparation. Our idea of “good enoug...

This Truth Talk is the third in our 4-part series based on my free Know Your Worth Study . For the past two weeks, we’ve been discussing how we can get the most out of reading the Bible. Studying the details helps the big picture come to life. You begin to understand who the author is writing to and the audience it is for. I admit this can seem overwhelming, but feeling lost or confused means room...

In this episode, I’m breaking down the second lie in a 4-week series based on my free Know Your Worth Study by taking a more in-depth look as to what happened after the cross. Mistakes lead us to believe that God is disappointed in us. As if every time we get it wrong, He pulls farther away. That's a lie. Our sin cannot separate us from Him because that's not the lens God uses to see you. He sees...

This Truth Talk is the second in our 4-part series based on my free Know Your Worth Study . Today I’m focusing on the types of writing, the themes, and the metanarrative in the Bible. As believers, “metanarrative” means the big story - the overarching story behind the smaller stories found in scripture. God is the main character of the story. Every book, story, and line of scripture we read is abo...

In part two of the series based on my free Know Your Worth Study we’re debunking the lie “God doesn’t love me.” Love can be relative to every person based on their life story. So many times we let what we think of love to be defined by our experiences instead of the unfailing, unconditional love of Christ. Our biggest problem isn't the mistakes we made as much as it is receiving and believing with...

Today’s Truth Talk is the first in our 4-part series based on my free Know Your Worth Study . Nothing will or can replace reading the Bible for yourself, but it’s common to feel confused or overwhelmed when approaching such a complicated book. Before we dig into the Word of God, it’s important to honestly evaluate where we are and what we truly believe about the Bible. I also give you 5 steps that...

In this episode we’re taking a look at the first lie in a 4-week series based on my free Know Your Worth Study – God doesn’t care about me. I personally believed this lie for years, but God has been clear about His feelings for us from the very beginning when He thoughtfully crafted us with love and supplied us with everything we need.

In Lie #49 I’m talking with Licensed Professional Counselor Kerrah Fabacher about a lie we may not even realize we’re believing - I don’t matter. Sometimes this lie creeps into our subconscious subtly through things like comparing ourselves to others on social media; sometimes it comes from people around us not responding the way we would like them to or the trauma they’ve inflicted upon us. It’s...

We also have some questions for you, the listener, that we hope will help you identify where you truly are physically, mentally, and spiritually. God’s timing is never accidenta...

I might be stepping on a few toes as I discuss a lie that is prevalent in society today - I need to prove my point. Spend a few minutes on social media or in a comments section and you’ll see that we’ve come to a place where thoughtful discussions have turned into hateful arguments and disagreements have morphed into disconnection instead of understanding. The truth is that there will always be di...

This Truth Talk was inspired by the story of Aaron’s rod turning into a serpent in Exodus 7 where we see God working in the middle of a bad situation. In this episode I discuss five things that jumped out to me from this passage that we can apply to our lives when we seem to be facing the impossible. Remember, God is in the bad, but he doesn’t cause it. He’s bigger than anything we’re up against a...

In this episode I’m talking with author and podcaster Hanna Seymour about the lie that the Bible is outdated and irrelevant. I chose to speak with Hanna about this particular lie because she’s a pastor’s daughter who grew up in a home with a strong Biblical foundation. Because of this, her mission has become to help other women build their Biblical foundations to become the person God has created...

Over the years I’ve coached hundreds of women and I’ve found there are three common lies that keep us from being healthy: 1. An all or nothing mentality 2. I’ve tried it all, so what’s the point? 3. If I accept where I am, I’ll be okay Full show notes for today can be found at jessicahottle.com/podcast !

In Lie #45 I’m talking with my friend and award-winning graphic and web designer Jessica Freeman about the lie that we don’t have enough experience to do what God is calling us to do.  When God calls us to act, we never feel qualified to undertake what’s ahead of us. But the good news is that you’re not responsible for the outcome, only for for saying yes and starting where you are. You can trust...

On this episode I’m talking about eliminating the stigma of different body types. These stigmas aid in how we misplace our worth because of the narratives about what’s “normal” and acceptable. I’m not here to normalize anything or tell you to accept something – the truth is that we can honor our bodies and steward them well.  Take some time today and ask what God is calling you to do and consider...
