Explorez tous les épisodes du podcast Rooted and Resilient : Faith After 50 (or 60!): Navigating Challenging Seasons, Starting Over After Empty Nest, Life After Divorce, Finding Purpose for Christian Women

At every season of life, we get opportunities to start over - but what can the women of the Bible teach us as we move forward?

Whether you’re navigating an empty nest, divorce, retirement, or just asking “What now, Lord?” — this episode is for you.

In this introduction to season 1 of the Rooted & Resilient podcast, host Jennifer Carter invites older Christian women into the stories of often-overlooked women in the Bible — women like Ruth, Hagar, Martha, and Hannah — who faced real struggles, identity shifts, and uncertain futures... and yet were seen, loved, and used by God.

Through their stories, we’ll explore what it looks like to start over with courage, faith, and (yes) a bit of gumption — no matter your age or stage of life.

Are you feeling stuck, uncertain, or wondering what’s next in this season of life? Whether you’re navigating an empty nest, a marriage breakdown, divorce, or simply searching for renewed purpose, you’re not alone.

Maybe you’ve walked through grief, loss, or disappointment. Maybe you feel invisible—you’ve spent years putting others first and now feel unsure of where you fit.

Perhaps you feel like it’s too late, or like your past or your age disqualifies you from anything meaningful. Maybe you’ve been serving everyone else for years, and you’re quietly wondering if God still has a purpose for you?

In this episode of Rooted & Resilient, we’ll uncover practical wisdom from the Bible as we explore the story of Hagar - a woman who carried pain, rejection, and loneliness, until God met her in the wilderness and called her by name.

Join me, Jennifer Carter, as we have an honest conversation about what it looks like to move forward when you feel lost, unseen, or unsure of your next step. We’ll talk about walking through desert seasons, where it feels like no one sees your tears. 

Together, we’ll uncover practical wisdom from the Bible and have honest conversations about feeling overlooked, moving past mistakes, feeling unqualified, letting go of what holds us back, finding joy again, and learning to believe that God can still use us—even when the future feels uncertain.

Your story isn’t over, and God isn’t done with you yet. If you’re ready to step into this next chapter with real faith, renewed courage, and confidence, you’re in the right place.
