What if the voice you've been attributing to God isn't His voice at all? What if the harsh, condemning thoughts you've been hearing are actually keeping you from recognizing God's voice and experiencing His love?

In this episode of Java with Jen, author Caitlin Hawk shares her incredible testimony of overcoming addiction, shame, religious condemnation, and destructive patterns after encountering Jesus in the most unexpected place—at a party, while drunk, high, and five months pregnant with twins!

Raised with a picture of God as harsh, demanding, and constantly disappointed in her, Caitlin spent years searching for her worth through athletic accomplishments, relationships, drugs, and alcohol. But when she finally cried out to Jesus, everything began to change.

And her journey to freedom was anything but easy!

Caitlin shares the painful realities of recovering from addiction, walking through nine months of intense spiritual torment, struggling with shame after becoming pregnant a second time, and learning to recognize the difference between God's conviction and the enemy's condemnation.

You'll discover how the lies you believe about yourself can affect your ability to hear God's voice, why understanding your identity in Christ matters, and practical ways to renew your mind with Scripture.

• God's voice vs. Satan's voice: How to recognize when condemnation is masquerading as God's correction.

• Why shame keeps people stuck: How believing you're unworthy can affect your relationship with God and your decisions.

• An unexpected encounter with Jesus: What happened when Caitlin cried out to God at a party while battling addiction and pregnant with twins.

• Why freedom can be a process: What Caitlin learned through recovery, spiritual battles, and difficult setbacks.

• How to retrain your thinking: A practical exercise Caitlin learned from John 8:31–32 to identify lies and replace them with biblical truth.

• How to break destructive patterns: The importance of godly mentorship, healthy relationships, and learning to live from your identity in Christ.

• How to hear God's voice without fear: Recognizing His character and learning to distinguish conviction from condemnation.

• Romans 2:4 — God's kindness leads us toward repentance.

• John 8:31–32 — Knowing the truth that sets us free.

• 2 Corinthians 5:17 — Becoming a new creation in Christ.

• Romans 8:1 — No condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

• 1 Corinthians 15:33 — The influence of our relationships.

Dr. Mark Virkler says he's had a 100% success rate teaching people to recognize God's voice using his powerful 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice method! But what are these four keys, and could they be the breakthrough you've been missing in your own prayer life?
Have you ever sat down to pray, desperate to hear God speak, only to walk away wondering, "Was that God or just my own thoughts?" Maybe you've tried reading more Scripture, sitting in silence, or praying harder, but you STILL struggle to recognize when God is speaking.
You're going to LOVE this conversation!
Dr. Mark Virkler, founder of Christian Leadership University and Communion With God Ministries, spent TEN YEARS struggling to hear God's voice. He even completed a 40-day fast trying to experience what other Christians seemed to recognize so easily!

What if one of the missing pieces in your prayer life is something you've been taught to dismiss—your IMAGINATION?

- Why Mark struggled for ten years to recognize God's voice—and what finally changed.
- How to hear God's voice when all you seem to hear are your own thoughts.

Did They Find Noah’s Ark? World Renown Archeologist, Scott Stripling on Shiloh, Mount Ebal, and the Evidence for (or against?) Noah's Ark Finding.

Could Noah’s Ark have been found on Mount Ararat?

Archaeologist Dr. Scott Stripling explains why he questions the recent claims—and what kind of evidence he would need to see before calling a discovery authentic.

We also talk about Shiloh, where the biblical tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant stood, and Mount Ebal, where Stripling’s team found a small lead "curse" tablet in old excavation material.

He explains why he believes the tablet matters to the debate over If Moses and Joshua WERE in fact literate. Throughout the conversation, we talk about how to weigh exciting archaeology claims against the evidence.

In this episode:

• Why Shiloh mattered to Israel—and what Stripling’s team found there
• The Mount Ebal altar and the lead tablet Scott says contains a curse
• What the tablet may mean for claims about Moses and the Bible’s authorship
• The claims surrounding Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat—and why Stripling is skeptical
• How to evaluate archaeological headlines and dramatic claims

Scott also recommends biblical archaeology resources and names including Randall Price, Titus Kennedy, and Joel Kramer.

I'm flipping the microphone around today! I recently had the privilege of being interviewed by bestselling author and relationship researcher Shaunti Feldhahn and her husband, Jeff, on their podcast I Wish You Could Hear This.

And we're getting REAL about marriage, raising four boys, and what I've learned about understanding the men in my life!

Have you ever felt like your husband speaks an entirely different language? Or wondered why your teenage son suddenly shuts down when you're just trying to help?

What if some of the very things we're doing out of love are actually making it harder for the men in our lives to open up?

As a wife of over 20 years, mom of four boys, and a woman in ministry leadership, I've learned some of these lessons the HARD way. And in this conversation, I'm sharing some pretty vulnerable pieces of my own marriage journey, including why staying married was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

In this episode, we're talking about:

• Why men shut down: How our well-intentioned questions and conversations can sometimes trigger defensiveness in our husbands and sons.

• Raising emotionally healthy boys: What I'm intentionally teaching my four sons about understanding women, expressing emotions, and becoming godly men.

• The teenage communication mistake I didn't realize I was making: One comment from my son made me rethink how I respond when my boys open up.

• Being a strong woman in marriage: How I've learned to honor the differences between men and women without diminishing who God created me to be.

• Healthy boundaries in Christian marriage: Why learning to establish boundaries was essential to my own emotional healing.

• Two simple phrases that changed our family conversations: Including one that helps us interrupt conflict and remember we're on the same team!

One of my favorite parts of this conversation is how raising my boys actually challenged me to become a better wife. I realized I was teaching my sons to understand and care for the hearts of women, while struggling to extend that same intentional understanding to my own husband. Ouch! 😅

And wait until you hear the hilarious thing my boys noticed about how their dad talks to Siri... and what they started saying to him because of it!

Whether you're raising sons, navigating a difficult season in marriage, or simply wanting healthier communication in your home, I think you'll find some practical takeaways in this conversation.

Hit play, friend! We're talking about what it looks like to love the men in our lives well while also creating relationships where everyone feels heard, respected, and emotionally safe.

What do you do when life keeps going wrong—and you’re trying to hear God in the middle of it?

In this episode, prophetic leader and bestselling author Jane Hamon joins me to talk about how to hear God’s voice in hard seasons, rebuild hope after disappointment, and find victory in the valley.

If you’re walking through grief, spiritual warfare, unanswered prayer, fear, or a season that has shaken your trust in God, this conversation gives you practical biblical handles for moving forward.

Jane has walked through miscarriages, family tragedy, a son who endured 13 major reconstructive surgeries, and seasons where one hard thing seemed to follow another.

Through those valleys, she discovered something surprising: when we’re believing God for a miracle, the problem may not actually be a lack of faith.

So what gets stolen before faith starts to disappear?

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why hope may be the missing ingredient when your faith feels weak
• How to hear God when your emotions are loud and your circumstances make no sense
• The “giants” that often surface in valleys—fear, shame, rejection, and the feeling that God has abandoned you
• What to do when you’ve prayed, believed, and the outcome still hurts
• Why Jane says, “Never doubt in the dark what you heard in the light”
• How your own words can reveal the lies you’ve started believing
• Why so many biblical battles happened in valleys
• The powerful lesson Jane learned when she was trapped on a dark mountain trail and literally couldn’t see her next step

And here’s one of my favorite ideas from this conversation: you may be begging God to show you the whole road ahead when what you actually need is enough light for the next step.

If you’ve felt stuck, spiritually tired, afraid to hope again, or confused about what God is doing, press play. Jane’s perspective on hope, hearing God, spiritual warfare, and conquering difficult seasons may shift the way you see the valley you’re walking through.

ABOUT JANE HAMON:
Jane Hamon is a prophetic leader, bestselling author, and international speaker who has equipped believers around the world for more than 40 years. Alongside her husband Tom, she leads Vision Church and Christian International and has ministered in more than 70 nations.

Leave a quick ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review — it helps more people hear God’s voice too!

How do you know if you’re hearing God’s voice—or simply hearing your own thoughts? How can you discern God’s voice, recognize the Holy Spirit’s leading, and know when something is actually confirmation from God rather than coincidence?

In this episode of Java with Jen, Dr. David Chotka shares practical, biblical ways to hear God more clearly and recognize the surprisingly personal ways He may already be speaking to you.

David tells an incredible story of following what seemed like a simple inner prompting that led him to a complete stranger’s home—and shows why hearing God often looks far less dramatic than Christians expect.

We unpack some of the biggest questions believers wrestle with around hearing God:

• How can you tell the difference between God’s voice and your own thoughts?
• What does the peace of God have to do with discernment?
• Can conviction actually be one of the ways you recognize God speaking?
• Does God use repetition, patterns and confirmation to get our attention?
• How do you know when something is a sign from God versus coincidence?
• What does David mean when he says God will sometimes “speak you to you”?
• Can your own desires make it harder to discern God’s will?
• And can we become so afraid of “missing God” that discernment actually turns into paralysis?

One of my favorite parts of this conversation is David’s explanation of Colossians 3:15 and the idea of allowing the peace of Christ to act like a referee when we’re trying to discern God’s leading. We also talk about the beautifully personal ways God communicates—using things that carry meaning specifically to you—and why learning His voice is less about finding a magic formula and more about growing in relationship with Him.

If you’ve ever prayed, “God, I just wish I knew if this was You,” this episode will give you practical tools to test what you’re sensing without becoming fearful or obsessive about getting it perfectly right.

So… if you’ve been wondering why there haven’t been new episodes for the last couple of weeks, it’s because I had to hit PAUSE on the podcast while I spent nearly three weeks filming a movie. 😳🎬

Yeah. That was definitely not on my 2026 bingo card.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I unexpectedly ended up playing Marilyn Cross in the feature film Giant Killer—and honestly, the story started long before I ever knew a movie was coming.

About 18 months ago, God gave me a dream that one week later was interpreted by Kris Vallotton from the stage at UPPERROOM Church in Dallas. At the time, I had no idea what it meant or how literally parts of it would eventually play out.

I’m sharing:

• the bizarre story of how this opportunity happened,
• the little ways God showed up throughout the process,
• what it was like walking onto a movie set for the first time,
• my favorite scene to film,
• and some of the things I learned while doing something that felt completely outside my normal world.

More than anything, I wanted to give you a peek into my own wild ride of following Jesus when obedience takes you somewhere unexpected, scary, and very different from what you thought your life was going to look like.

And hopefully, my story encourages you to pay attention to the things God may be preparing you for—even when you don’t understand them yet.

I hope you enjoy this little glimpse behind the scenes. ❤️

Tired of waiting on God's promises? If your hope feels deferred and your heart is getting sick, this episode is for you. In this conversation, we walk through the process to the promise — that hard, hidden middle where God feels silent but is actually at work.

In this episode you'll discover:

•Why waiting on God's promises hurts, and what Proverbs 13:12 teaches about guarding your heart in the process.

• How years in the pit and the prison prepared Joseph for the palace, and what that means for your own delay.

• Trusting God's promises when the fulfillment looks impossible and the timeline makes no sense.

• Why the long way is often the faithful way, and what God was building in Israelites before the promised land.

• Practical ways to keep your faith strong and your perspective right while you wait for God's promises to come to pass.

If you're weary in the wait, this is your reminder: the process is not punishment. It's preparation.

☕️ Grab your coffee and let's chat about hearing God's voice in the waiting.

I had a season where God felt silent. Even as Pastors, we hit the same hills and valleys you do in your walk with Jesus— so I'm sharing the honest truth because I know some of you are in that exact season right now, wondering if He even hears you.

A quick note: I was the guest on this one! I sat down with Julie, host of "Everyday Miracles", for her show — and the conversation was so good, so real, and so needed that I had to bring it home to you too. We talk about what it actually feels like when God goes quiet, what gets in the way of hearing Him, and how to move from "I can't hear Him" to recognizing His voice every day.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why a season of silence from God isn't a sign of failure or distance
• How to hear God's voice clearly, even when your mind feels loud and busy
• The difference between God's voice and your own racing thoughts
• How to discern God's voice using scripture, prayer, and the Holy Spirit
• Signs God is speaking to you, even when it doesn't feel like a "voice" at all
• What the "still small voice" of God actually sounds like in real life
• How to pray when God feels distant, and what to do while you wait
• Practical ways to recognize the whisper of God in your everyday moments
• How prayer journaling can help you track and remember when God speaks
• What it means to feel God's presence again after a dry season
• Biblical discernment — how to know if a thought, impression, or nudge lines up with God's Word
• Why "hearing God" doesn't always look the way we expect it to

Quick answers if you're searching for this right now:

• Why can't I hear God?

Most of the time it's not about distance from Him — it's about noise, timing, or expectations of what His voice "should" sound like. We unpack this in detail in the episode.

• How do I know if it's God's voice?

We talk through practical, biblical ways to test what you're hearing against scripture and the character of God — not just a feeling.

• What if I've prayed and heard nothing?

You are not alone, and it doesn't mean God has gone silent forever. This episode walks through exactly what to do in that waiting season.

Jeri Hill was born out of rape, raised on drugs, and swept up in a 75-person drug bust. Then God spoke to her in a jail cell — in her mother's voice, from 25 miles away.

This is the story you didn't know behind the Brownsville Revival. Jeri and Steve Hill — saved just 8 days apart in 1975 — went from jail cells to evangelists, ministering in 80+ countries before history was made at Brownsville in 1995.

If you've ever wondered, "Does God still speak to someone like me?" — this episode is for you. He spoke to Jeri in a jail cell, on a billboard, in a dream, and in the silence after losing her husband and her son.

KEY TALKING POINTS

• Born Out of Rape: shame, identity, and God's plan
• Drug Addiction and the Drug Bust: 75 arrests, one jail cell
• Hearing God's Voice in Jail: her mother's voice, 25 miles away
• The John 3:16 Billboard: "For I so loved you" — not the world, you
• The Persistent Pastor: two years of knocking, one divine appointment
• Saved 8 Days Apart: Jeri and Steve's back-to-back salvation in October 1975
• Praying for Her Future Husband: before she ever met him
• From Jail to Evangelists: 40 countries, 8 churches, one heartbeat
• The Brownsville Revival: unplanned — and heaven came down
• Losing Steve: the dream about the vow and the angel wings
• Losing Ryan: tears of loss turned into tears for the lost
• "I Am the River in the Desert": how God carried her the whole time

If you've ever wondered how to hear God's voice, you're not alone. Many Christians ask, Does God still speak today? How do I know it's really Him? Can I teach my kids to hear God's voice too? In this episode of Java with Jen, Pastor Jenilee Samuel sits down with Heather O'Brien to explore practical, biblical ways to hear God's voice, grow in spiritual discernment, and deepen your relationship with Jesus—without making it weird.

Heather didn't begin learning to hear God's voice until she was 30 years old, despite following Jesus since childhood. What started as simple curiosity became the pathway God used to bring healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, and a deeper revelation of His love.

Together, Jenilee and Heather share five unexpected, practical activations that have helped them grow in recognizing God's voice. You'll hear why journaling can become a conversation with God, how asking for a simple word or Scripture each day builds spiritual sensitivity, why immediate confirmation can strengthen your faith, and even how one family learned to practice hearing God's voice while playing games together.

In this episode, you'll learn:

They also dive into questions many believers wrestle with:

• How do you know it's really God's voice and not your own thoughts?
• Does God still speak through dreams and visions today?
• Can children hear God's voice?
• Is it okay to ask God for confirmation?
• What if you've followed Jesus for years but have never recognized His voice?

Whether you're brand new to this journey or you've been pursuing God's voice for years, this conversation will encourage you to approach Him with childlike faith, expectancy, and confidence that He still speaks to His children today.

• Why hearing God's voice is available to every believer—not just pastors or prophets.
• Five simple activations to help you grow in hearing God more clearly.
• How journaling can become a conversation with the Holy Spirit.
• Practical ways to teach your children to recognize God's voice.
• How God speaks through dreams, visions, Scripture, impressions, and everyday life.
• The importance of discernment when interpreting dreams.
• Why asking God for confirmation can strengthen your faith.
• How words of knowledge often begin with simple encouragement.
• A powerful daily exercise you can start today to increase your sensitivity to God's leading.
• Why God's first words are often reminders of His love.

HOST SWAP: Enjoy this interview where I was the guest on Kathryn May's podcast "Free to Lead", where we discussed following God into obedience even when you're scared. It may feel like failure, but it's probably radical obedience.

The "Next Best Step" Strategy to Finding Your Calling

Many of us feel stuck because we are waiting for a clear map, but God often reveals the path one step at a time. In this episode, we break down why fear keeps us paralyzed and how to move from waiting to taking the immediate next step in your purpose.

Key Talking Points & Main Themes:

Overcoming Fear and Inaction:

Fear is the primary barrier to your purpose. We discuss why many of us "idolize clarity" as a way to avoid the risks of taking action, and how the parable of the talents reminds us to steward our gifts rather than bury them.

Taking the Next Best Step:

• You don't need a ten-year plan to start. Jenilee shares her experience starting a podcast without a traditional platform, trusting God to order her steps as she moved.

• Podcasting as Ministry and Business:

How to use media to multiply your message. We discuss how a podcast can serve as an outlet for your calling, reach a global audience, and provide opportunities for authors and speakers to make an impact.

• Hearing God's Voice Daily:

Discover how to discern God's voice in everyday life. We discuss why hearing Him is often a process of learning to recognize His gentle promptings through conversation and asking questions.

• The Power of Your "Yes": Stepping into your calling requires saying "yes" to God before you feel ready. Learn how consistent, small acts of obedience lead to doors opening that you never could have opened yourself.

• Boundaries for Spiritual Freedom: How to prioritize family, ministry, and business. We explore setting boundaries as a way to find alignment and freedom rather than burnout.

• Impact Over Income: Why focusing on Kingdom impact is the most reliable way to build a sustainable life and business. Learn how to trust that God will provide when you focus on serving others.

Denise Renner joins me for a powerful conversation on identity, marriage, and the transformative power of hearing God's voice, even when you feel you've lost yourself. We dive deep into the real-world struggles Christian wives face and how to find true freedom and purpose in Christ.

💡 Episode Highlights

In this episode, we explore how to break free from the trap of hiding behind your spouse and instead embrace the unique gifts God has given you. We discuss the necessity of trusting God's leading in your life and marriage, even when the path is challenging or unexpected. You’ll learn how to navigate difficult marital dynamics by speaking truth in love and relying on the Holy Spirit’s guidance, rather than falling into the "nag" trap.

Denise unpacks the core message of her book, "Who Stole Cinderella?", and shares how a wise woman can build a beautiful, godly house by focusing on her own walk with the Lord. We also cover the critical importance of forgiveness—not as a suggestion, but as a command to pursue peace—and how one spouse can truly change the trajectory of a marriage. Finally, we share practical steps to foster a healthier, more thankful relationship by actively speaking life into your marriage and your spouse.

🎯 Key Talking Points

• Finding Your Identity in Christ: Why you must embrace your God-given callings rather than hiding in the shadow of your spouse.
• How to Hear God's Voice Daily: The fruit that comes from surrendering to God’s direction, even when it’s not what you expected.
• Biblical Marriage Advice for Wives: How to speak truth in love and challenge unhealthy behavior without becoming a "nag."
• Overcoming Christian Marriage Struggles: Taking responsibility for your own spiritual growth to build up your home.
• Healing from Marriage Hurt: Why pursuing peace is a daily, active commitment to freedom through forgiveness.
• Achieving Spiritual Freedom: Understanding that boundaries and being "bold on the inside" can be godly, wise, and necessary.
• Strengthening Your Christian Marriage: How your gratitude and godly influence can empower your husband to be a better man.

I know what you’re thinking—what do hearing god's voice and christian weight loss challenges have to do with each other?

Honestly, that’s exactly what I thought too, until I realized the same key has the power to unlock both doors. It’s not just about what you’re eating; it’s about the food noise and mental static preventing you from true spiritual clarity.

In this episode, I’m joined by mental fitness coach Eryn Kubinski to uncover the hidden connection between self-sabotage, physical health, and your walk with Christ.

We dive deep into how rewiring your thought patterns—your mental fitness—is the secret to breaking cycles of emotional eating and finally opening up the space to hear God clearly.

This is a radical look at spiritual warfare and how prioritizing your christian mental health is essential to experiencing the freedom God has for you body, soul AND spirit.

Key Talking Points

• The Mental Fitness Connection: Why the same patterns that lead to weight loss stagnation are often blocking your ability to discern the voice of god.
• Identifying the Sabotage: How to spot the root of self-sabotage that keeps you stuck in cycles of guilt, shame, and overeating.
• Quieting the Noise: Practical, biblical weight loss strategy to silence food noise and create the mental quiet needed for hearing god clearly.
• Rewiring for Transformation: Moving from negative thought patterns to discernment—the foundation for christian fitness and lasting transformation.
• The Spiritual Root: Why addressing your thoughts as part of your spiritual warfare strategy changes everything about your relationship with food and faith.

Have you ever felt like you were doing all the right things—reading your Bible, praying, showing up… and God just felt silent?

This episode is for that moment.

You’re reading your Bible. You’re praying. You’re doing everything you’ve been taught to do… but it feels like nothing is happening.

• Why God can feel distant even when you’re doing everything right
• What a “wilderness season” really is (and why it matters for your spiritual growth)
• How to stay connected to God when you feel nothing
• The role surrender plays in spiritual growth & breakthrough
• Practical ways to reconnect with God beyond your normal routine
• How your body, soul, and spirit all affect your ability to hear God

If you’ve been questioning your faith, feeling disconnected, or wondering if you’ve done something wrong… this conversation will help you reframe what’s really happening.

Are you secretly afraid you've already messed up your kids?

Rhonda Stoppe, author of Moms of the Bible, sits down with Jen to unpack why Christian moms carry so much guilt — and what God actually says about flawed, broken, faithful motherhood. Spoiler: He didn't just tolerate your mess. He chose it.

From Rebecca's manipulation to Jochebed's terrifying faith, Rhonda walks us through real biblical women who were imperfect, afraid, and still used by God to shape history.

In this episode:✔ Why mom guilt is a spiritual attack — not just a feeling✔ The dangerous "perfect mom" image God never asked you to live up to✔ What Rebecca's story teaches us about unchecked imagination in parenting✔ How your trials are forming your children's faith (even when it's hard)✔ Jochebed's radical act of letting go — and what it means for you today✔ Why prayerlessness is sinning against your children✔ The one question every Christian mom needs to ask: Am I raising them for God's glory — or mine?

"God called us to this ministry of motherhood. He calls broken people to do extraordinary things through our ordinary lives." — Rhonda Stoppe

Hearing God's voice every day — not just on Sundays — is exactly what life coach April Snook teaches women to do.

In this episode, she shares the faith breakthrough that shattered her financial ceiling and how you can start hearing God in your everyday moments too.

What if the ceiling you've been living under isn't a money problem — but a faith problem?

That's exactly what April Snook heard from God in the middle of a grocery store. And it changed everything.

April is a life coach, wife of 28 years, mom of four, and the voice behind How to Do Life with God. She's one of the most practical women I know when it comes to actually hearing God's voice — not just on Sunday mornings, but on Tuesday afternoons in the cereal aisle.

In this conversation, we talk about:

🛒 The grocery store moment where God reordered April's entire financial ceiling

💸 Why your next breakthrough isn't limited by income, opportunity, or circumstance

👂 What God's voice actually sounds like — and how to tell it's really Him

🙏 One daily intention that closes the gap between believing and living your faith

☕ How to make hearing God a habit, and help your kids learn to "set their faith" so God can show off in their lives too!

Key Quote:"You are no longer limited by your husband's salary. You are only limited by your faith." — what God said to April Snook

Scriptures Referenced:

• Psalm 103 — "He fills my mouth with good things"
• Psalm 37 — "Delight yourself in the Lord and He gives you the desires of your heart"
• The story of Enoch — walking with God in the everyday

Many Christians love God… but still struggle with anxiety, chronic illness, or patterns they can’t seem to break.

In this episode, I sit down with Beatty Carmichael, author of The Prayer of Freedom, to talk about a biblical approach to inner healing and personal deliverance that’s helping people experience real, lasting breakthrough.

Beatty shares a repentance-based prayer process rooted in Scripture that he’s used with over 1,000 people—with nearly 90% experiencing measurable healing and freedom, even in long-term or resistant cases.

And here’s what makes this conversation different…

This isn’t about extreme deliverance moments or emotional drama.
It’s about understanding spiritual legal rights, walking through biblical repentance, and partnering with the Holy Spirit to close doors that may be allowing oppression or sickness to remain.

We cover:

• What sin and repentance actually mean (and how they’re misunderstood)
• The connection between spiritual roots and physical or emotional struggles

• What “legal rights” are in the spiritual realm—and why they matter
• How repentance can lead to healing (with New Testament support)
• The first steps to begin walking in freedom
• What to expect after praying for healing and deliverance
• Whether you can help friends or family experience freedom too

If you’ve ever wondered:
“Why am I still struggling even though I love God?”
or
“Is there something spiritual I’m missing?”

This episode will give you a grounded, biblical framework to explore those questions.

My boys said Hurricane Harvey was their favorite part of the year… and we had just lost everything!

Today’s episode is a special conversation from when I was a guest on Witness the Wonder.

We walked through losing everything in Hurricane Harvey—and the mind-blowing, miraculous ways God showed up in the middle of it.

I had asked God how to preserve my boys' hearts from this trauma, and he gave me one simple piece of wisdom. I followed it.

And at the end of the year, the boys said their greatest time of loss was actually their favorite time of the year.

You're never going to believe the miracles we saw. If you find yourself in or recovering from a season of loss or heartache, this episode will inspire you, and equip you with some powerful tools that just might change things for you too.

When your child begins questioning their identity, it can feel like everything shifts overnight.

You love your child deeply… but you’re also trying to stay rooted in your faith.
And suddenly you’re navigating conversations you never expected to have.

In this episode, I sit down with Debra Ann McNinch to talk about how Christian parents can walk through identity questions with wisdom, love, and truth—without compromising their convictions or losing connection with their child.

We unpack the real tension many families are facing today and offer practical, grounded insight for navigating it well.

Inside this conversation:

• How to respond when your child questions their identity
• What builds trust vs. what quietly damages the relationship
• How to stay connected without compromising your faith
• Navigating fear, confusion, and emotional reactions as a parent
• What it looks like to lead with both truth and love in real life

This is a conversation happening in more homes than people realize—and one many parents are trying to navigate quietly.

In this episode, I sit down with world-renown theologian and author Scot McKnight to talk about toxic church culture, narcissistic leadership, and what it actually looks like to build a healthy, Christ-centered church rooted in goodness.

We break down why toxic churches often look healthy on the outside, how power gets misused behind the scenes, and how to recognize the difference between spiritual authority and control.

Do signs, wonders, and miracles still happen today—or was that just for the early church? And if the supernatural is real, is it only for “special” Christians… or for you too?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Jason Chin, missionary in Switzerland and founder of Love Says Go Ministries. Jason has seen God move through healing, prophecy, dreams, and visions all over the world, and he shares how the supernatural side of the Kingdom is meant to be a normal part of every believer’s life.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why the supernatural is for EVERY Christian—not just pastors or “anointed” leaders
• How to begin seeing miracles and hearing God’s voice in your everyday life
• The crucial connection between character, humility, and spiritual gifts
• What the Bible actually says about dreams, visions, angels, and demons
• How “dreaming with God” opens your spiritual eyes and builds faith
• A CRAZY deliverance story: instant breakthrough after forgiveness
• Why you should never be impressed with the devil—only with Jesus
• Practical ways to partner with the Holy Spirit for signs, wonders, and healing

If you’ve felt stuck in a powerless faith, afraid of deception, or unsure if God really wants to speak to you, this episode will stir up hope and give you practical keys to walk in the supernatural with wisdom and confidence.

Does the thought of the End Times make you want to hoard your cash or just ignore your bank account completely? 🫣 You are not alone! Today I’m sitting down with Steve Wohlberg to talk about something we don't hear enough from the pulpit:

Biblical strategies for our finances when the world feels like it's shaking.

We aren't talking about fear-mongering or "doom prepping." We are talking about practical, Kingdom stewardship that brings PEACE. If you’ve ever wondered if investing is "unspiritual" or how to protect your family without losing your trust in God, grab your coffee ☕️—this conversation is going to set you free!

In this episode, I ask Steve:

• Why did you feel the urgency to write a book about money specifically for the End Times right now?
• Is it foolish to invest in a system that might crash, or is it biblical wisdom?
• How do we check our hearts to ensure we are trusting God, not our bank accounts?
• Is tithing still relevant or important for us today, or is it an old testament command only?
• How can we teach our kids about money without passing down a "poverty mindset" or fear?
• And so much more!

This episode covers biblical finance principles for Christians living in the last days, focusing on how to steward wealth without fear. We discuss the importance of tithing, overcoming the poverty mindset, and biblical investing strategies that align with scripture. Steve Wohlberg shares insights on the Mark of the Beast, the antichrist system, and how believers can prepare their families financially and spiritually. We also touch on the power of giving as spiritual warfare and how to break the spirit of mammon. Whether you are looking for encouragement during economic uncertainty or practical tips for kingdom wealth, this teaching will help you hear God's voice regarding your finances.

Have you ever felt torn when you see another church leader fall publicly?

Part of you wants to defend the Church, but another part of you knows we can’t just sweep sin under the rug. We are seeing headlines everywhere about "Cover-Up Culture," and honestly, it’s "trendy", in some instances it may be true, and in some, it may be love seeking to cover.

But it leaves us with a really hard question: Is it ever okay to judge? And how do we JUDGE RIGHTLY without being JUDGEMENTAL?

We’ve been taught "Judge not," but does that mean we stay silent when leadership turns toxic?

In this episode, my friend Leigh Sloan (Pastor & Author) joins me to have a raw, honest conversation about the difference between being judgmental and exercising righteous judgment. We are peeling back the layers on how to spot the difference between a "mistake" and a "pattern," and how to guard your own heart from bitterness when the leaders you looked up to let you down.

Grab your coffee, friend. We need to talk about this. ☕️

In this episode, we discuss:

• Cover-Up Culture: what's the difference between love that covers, and unhealthy cover-ups
• Discernment vs. Suspicion: How to know if you are sensing the Holy Spirit or just being critical.
• The "Lumpy Carpet": What happens when we try to ignore the mess in the church.
• Restoration: Is it possible for fallen leaders to come back? (And what that might actually look like).

Do you remember the classic marriage book Love & Respect? There’s a reason it’s been passed around churches and counseling offices for years. It gave language to patterns couples couldn’t quite name.

In today’s episode, Emerson Eggerichs joins me to talk about his newest work, Lightbulb Moments in Marriage — those simple but powerful realizations that can completely shift the tone of a relationship.

We talk about what actually creates turning points in struggling marriages, how small insights can interrupt conflict cycles, and why awareness often changes more than confrontation.

You’ll hear biblical wisdom, practical tools, and research-backed insights — but more than that, you’ll walk away with aha's. The kind that quiets the noise and helps you respond with thoughtfulness instead of in-the-moment-reaction.

Join us for a thoughtful & hope-filled conversation about understanding, growth, and the small shifts that can change everything.

Let’s be honest.

When God feels silent, your brain does not stay neutral.

It fills in the blanks.

And most of the time? It fills them in wrong.

In this episode with Autumn Miles, we’re talking about the five sneaky beliefs that MANY people experience that can start surfacing when we don’t feel clarity, confirmation, or that familiar sense of God’s nearness.

These aren’t dramatic, obvious lies.

They’re subtle.
They sound spiritual, or at least humble.
And they quietly distort how we hear Him, and how we view ourselves.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why does this feel harder than it should?” — this one’s for you.

-----------------------------------

Have you ever heard Christians say, “I’m pleading the blood of Jesus,” and wondered what that actually means—or if it’s even biblical?

Same.

In this conversation, I sit down with Jim Cernero to talk honestly about the blood of Jesus—why Scripture places so much weight on it, what it means that the blood still speaks, and how this fits with prayer, fasting, and spiritual warfare in real life.

If you’ve ever prayed faithfully but still felt stuck…
If you’ve wondered why some battles seem resistant to prayer alone…
Or if phrases like pleading the blood feel confusing, vague, or over-spiritualized—

This episode is for you.

We unpack what Hebrews 12:24 really means when it says the blood of Jesus speaks better things, and how understanding the blood isn’t about religious language—it’s about authority, agreement, and spiritual inheritance.

Key Takeaways

• Why the Bible places such a strong emphasis on the blood of Jesus, not just the cross

• What it actually means that the blood still speaks today

• Whether “pleading the blood” is biblical—or misunderstood

• How the blood of Jesus is different from prayer or fasting, and where it fits

• Why prayer sometimes feels ineffective when authority hasn’t been recognized

• How the blood functions as a legal defense against the enemy

• What to do when breakthrough doesn’t come immediately—and how to avoid shame

• How repentance and healing restore areas where authority may have been lost

• • Why declaring the blood isn’t about hype, but about agreement with truth

  
  

  Why This Matters

• The blood of Jesus isn’t symbolic—it’s active

• Prayer isn’t begging God; authority flows from agreement with what the blood already secured

• The blood doesn’t deny reality—it overrules it

• Spiritual warfare isn’t about effort; it’s about position

• Awareness of the blood changes how you pray, stand, and respond under pressure

Many believers know Jesus saved them—but don’t live like they’re protected, authorized, or covered.

This episode helps close that gap.

Not by giving you formulas.
Not by pushing fear-based warfare language.
But by grounding you in what Scripture already says belongs to you.

If you’re walking through an impossible situation right now—this conversation will help you understand what you’re standing on, not just what you’re saying.

In this powerful conversation, Jenilee Samuel sits down with Heather Shriver Burns — master coach, spiritual director, and host of the Seek First CEO podcast — to explore the real reasons many believers struggle to hear God clearly.

Heather shares her personal journey from a checklist faith and high-achievement mindset to a deep, intimate, two-way relationship with God. Through loss, busyness, trauma, and relational experiences, she discovered that silence from God often isn’t God being distant — it reflects what’s crowded our inner world.

Together Jenilee and Heather unpack:

1. Why God can feel silent even when He’s speaking
Heather shares how her faith was more obligation than intimacy before a season of loss — and how that shifted her ability to hear God.

2. How trauma and nervous system stress can block spiritual hearing
Busyness, unresolved hurts, and fight-or-flight states create inner noise that makes hearing God harder than it should be.

3. The power of human connection in spiritual clarity
Some of the clearest messages from God come through people — especially when our own connection feels muted.

4. How everyday moments become God-encounters
Heather and Jenilee talk about learning to notice God in mundane life — not just in quiet time or special moments.

5. The importance of honest communication with God
Letting go of performance, including honesty about fear, loss, and confusion, opens up the way God actually speaks.

6. Why community and relationships matter in spiritual growth
We’re not meant to grow in isolation — our connections with others test, refine, and expand our ability to hear God’s voice.

🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

Heather’s story — including losing an 8-figure business while pregnant and pressing into God through it — illustrates how even deeply spiritual women can struggle to hear God until they heal the places that block His voice.

🧡 Key Quotes from Heather
✨ “Community is crucial for growth.”
✨ “Recognizing God’s presence daily matters more than perfect quiet time.”
✨ “Honest communication with God transforms how we connect with Him.”

I do not believe in cover-up culture. When abuse is reported, it should be taken seriously and handled through appropriate reporting and legal processes. The church must support this process, and I know most do.

At the same time, the path forward for the Church after allegations have been reported, is not always simple or universally agreed upon. What some interpret as “cover-up culture,” others may view as discretion exercised to protect those involved while proper processes unfold. This statement is not intended to defend, accuse, or make a case in either direction.

My intent in this episode is simply to share my personal experience with Shawn Bolz and his team, to clarify where I stand in light of the serious allegations that have surfaced, and to explain the steps I am taking as I seek to live with integrity, wisdom, and care.

These matters are weighty and deserve appropriate process, truth, and discernment.

I was told by Shawn's team that he will be releasing his own statement soon.

Below is Patricia King's statement since she was accused of cover-up culture in the video.

Many Christians pray faithfully… and still feel powerless.

In this episode, Jenilee sits down with Isaac Pitre to talk about the missing piece most believers were never taught — the ascension of Christ and what it means for your authority today. Not just Jesus rising, but believers being seated with Him and what changes when you stop praying from desperation and start responding from position.

This conversation goes beyond spiritual warfare tactics and gets to the root issue: identity, inheritance, and authority. If prayer has felt ineffective, exhausting, or confusing, this episode reframes everything.

🔍 What We Cover in This Episode

• Why the gospel isn’t complete without the ascension

• The difference between being saved and being seated with Christ

• Why praying harder isn’t always the answer

• How authority works in the spiritual realm — and why words matter

• The shift from “asking God” to agreeing with heaven

• What Romans 8:17 really means about being a co-heir with Christ

• How ascension living shows up in everyday life: parenting, marriage, health, work

• Why some breakthroughs happen instantly when perspective changes

  How to recognize when you’re praying from earth instead of from heaven

Jenilee also shares a personal moment where God invited her to “come up here” — and how seeing her situation from a heavenly position immediately changed the outcome.

Many believers unknowingly live below what Jesus purchased for them.

When Christians don’t understand their spiritual position, prayer turns into striving, warfare becomes exhausting, and authority feels theoretical instead of real. This episode challenges the idea that humility means powerlessness and shows how biblical authority actually glorifies Jesus — not the believer.

👂 This Episode Is For You If…

• You pray consistently but feel like nothing shifts

• You’ve been taught to fight darkness but not live from authority

• You’ve struggled to reconcile humility with spiritual power

• You want practical understanding, not mystical language

• You’re hungry to live from identity, not insecurity

Every year has a spiritual pace. A word that hovers over it, pregnant with promise for the new season.

In this episode, I share the prophetic word God gave me for 2026—a word meant to birth promise, bring alignment, and establish vision for how you can move forward with Him in the year ahead.

This is not a reaction to current events or a pep-talk message.
It is a prophetic word meant to help you understand how God is leading, what He is addressing, and what posture is welcomed as you enter 2026.

This Episode Will Help You:

• Understand the spiritual tone and direction of 2026 as I'm hearing it from the Lord (it's not the only thing He is saying, but it is AN invitation)

• Discern where misalignment, fear, or limitation may be shaping your life experiences

• Recognize what God is inviting you into in the coming year

• Shift from limitation, confinement and pressure into trust, freedom, and peace with God

• Enter 2026 with a clear internal compass instead of confusion or anxiety

I also lead listeners through a guided prayer of alignment, helping you release what no longer belongs in the new season and respond to God’s leadership with faith and surrender.

If you’ve been sensing that something is changing, that God is calling you to move differently, or that the next year requires a new posture—this episode will help you set your footing before you take your next steps.

-------------------------------------------------

As we step into a brand new year, it’s easy to focus on goals, plans, and fresh starts—but Scripture shows us something deeper: how you end one season has everything to do with how you enter the next.

In this New Year episode, Jen shares a timely word about transition—that in-between space where many people feel pressure, fatigue, or uncertainty, but don’t realize they’re standing at a doorway.

This message isn’t heavy—it’s hope-filled and practical. You’ll learn how to recognize transition moments, avoid common mistakes people make at the start of a new year, and partner with God to enter 2026 with intention, alignment, and faith.

• Why endings matter just as much as beginnings in God’s Kingdom

• How transition seasons reveal growth—not failure

• The danger of starting a new year in the flesh after beginning by the Spirit

• Why pressure often increases right before breakthrough

• How your words, attitudes, and choices at the end of a season shape what comes next

SCRIPTURES REFERENCED:

• Ecclesiastes 7:8

In this gripping episode, Jenilee sits down with Steve Kang to explore his radical journey from devout Buddhism into a near-death encounter that he says took him through hell and heaven. Raised and trained in Buddhism, Steve struggled with deep questions about justice and suffering. But at age 19, after a drug overdose laced with multiple substances, he spiraled into spiritual darkness, demonic encounters, and an experience he describes as “eight hours in hell.”

Steve shares how deception shaped his early worldview, what he believes opened the door to spiritual warfare in his life, and how Jesus intervened during the overdose and the eight-hour surgery that followed. He also recounts a later vision of heaven that transformed his understanding of God, Scripture, and the urgency of discipleship.

This conversation goes beyond the near-death event itself. Jenilee and Steve unpack why many Christians drift into passive faith, why discipleship is non-negotiable, and how believers can move from spiritual complacency into Spirit-led transformation.

What We Cover in This Episode

• Steve’s early life in Buddhism and training under monks

• The spiritual crisis his family experienced after financial collapse

• How addiction and hopelessness pushed him toward destructive choices

• The overdose that led to demonic encounters and a suicide attempt

• What Steve says he experienced during “8 hours in hell”

• The intercessors who prayed during his life-or-death surgery

• His encounter with Jesus and the moment he surrendered

• A vision of heaven nine months later and its impact on his calling

• Why discipleship matters more than weekly church attendance

• The dangers of “Christianity without transformation”

• What spiritual mentorship really looks like

• Why Steve rejects universalism and emphasizes the seriousness of eternity

If you grew up watching MTV… if you’ve ever listened to a podcast… or if you’ve simply existed on the internet in the last 20 years… you’ve been impacted by today’s guest, whether you knew it or not.

Adam Curry — former MTV icon, media pioneer, and co-inventor of podcasting — joins me for a conversation that honestly feels like a movie. Most people know him as the Podfather… but very few know the plot twist that happened at age 58, when God interrupted his life and everything changed.

In today’s episode, Adam opens up about:
✨ His wild behind-the-scenes years at MTV
✨ How the early days of the internet and podcasting REALLY unfolded
✨ The moment he realized the life he built wasn’t enough
✨ His unexpected, late-life encounter with Jesus
✨ What it looked like to learn hearing God’s voice for the first time
✨ The surprising ways God had been chasing him for decades
✨ The spiritual battle inside the media world (and what Christians miss)
✨ How God repurposed his ENTIRE career for Kingdom impact

And then… we talk about Godcaster — Adam’s bold new mission to raise up 1,000 Christian voices and build a future where churches, ministries, and everyday believers become the broadcasters of hope in their communities.

This conversation is raw, fascinating, tender, and honestly one of the most hope-stirring testimonies you’ll hear this year. If you’ve ever wondered:

💭 “Is it too late for me?”
💭 “Does God still speak?”
💭 “Could God use my story… even the messy parts?”

…Adam’s story is your YES.

Grab your coffee and buckle up — this episode is a ride.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL HEAR:

00:02 — The MTV years and the media revolution Adam never saw coming
07:45 — How a kid building pirate radio transmitters at 13 became the Podfather
15:10 — The moment Adam realized the life he built wasn’t enough
21:30 — His shocking late-life encounter with Jesus at age 58
26:40 — How he learned to recognize God’s voice (Isaiah 30:21 moment!)
34:12 — The spiritual battles inside entertainment & why prayer matters
41:17 — Why every believer’s voice matters in this cultural moment
48:50 — The birth of Godcaster and the mission to launch 1,000 Christian voices

If worship still feels like the “warm-up” before the sermon, you’re missing its most powerful purpose.

What if worship is actually the fastest way to tune your ears to hear God clearly…
…and most believers have never been taught how it really works?

Today, worship leader and Bible teacher Matt Coss breaks open a revelation that will shift the way you approach God’s presence — in church, in your car, and in your everyday walk with Him.

🎧 Inside this episode:

• The worship misconception that keeps people spiritually dull

• Why revelation—not emotion—creates real worship

• 3 ways worship sharpens your ability to hear God (and the one almost everyone skips)

• A simple secret to restoring awe, wonder, and spiritual sensitivity

• How prophetic worship actually works (for those new to it!)

• What to do if you feel stuck, stale, or routine in worship

• How to worship deeply even if you come from a non-charismatic background

• Why remembering God’s works is the quickest path to presence

Matt also shares his own journey from a Baptist upbringing (we love our baptist roots!) into Spirit-led worship — and how revelation transformed his entire relationship with God.

✨ Key Takeaways

• You can’t worship a God you’re not beholding — revelation comes first.

• Worship is one of the fastest on-ramps to hearing God’s voice.

• Prophetic worship is simply responding to what God reveals.

• Wonder is the oxygen of worship; routine is the enemy of awe.

What if the reason your prayers for healing aren’t working has nothing to do with your faith level… and everything to do with where your faith is pointed?

In this powerful conversation, missionary Josh Siratt shares the moment the Holy Spirit confronted him with a truth that completely shifted the way he prayed—and why healing began to happen effortlessly once he made one vital change.

From praying over drunk students in the back of his Uber to witnessing miracles in Italy and beyond, Josh breaks down the difference between having faith in healing vs. having faith in the name of Jesus—and he gives practical, scripture-backed strategies to activate real breakthrough in your own life.

If you’ve ever prayed for healing—your own or someone else’s—and wondered, “Why isn’t this working?”… this episode will break something open for you.

🔥 In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The Holy Spirit revelation that exposed why Josh’s prayers weren’t producing results

• How focusing on the outcome instead of the Name stops healing in its tracks

• Why traditions and theology can quietly shut down the power of God—even in faith circles

• The story of how Uber rides turned into a two-year training ground for miracle ministry

• The simplest, most biblical way to pray for healing with confidence and authority

• What the Bible actually teaches about the name of Jesus and its connection to healing

• How to recognize when you’re praying in your strength vs. relying on God’s power

• PLUS: A powerful activation prayer you can speak over yourself and others

📖 Scriptures Mentioned

Acts 3:6 • Romans 8:15 • John 14:13-14 • Mark 16:17-18 • Psalm 103:2-3

🙏 Activation Prayer (Pray This Out Loud)

“Jesus, I shift my faith right now from the outcome to Your name.I believe Your name carries all authority in heaven and on earth.I renounce every tradition and belief that limits Your power in my life.I receive Your healing—not because I feel it, but because Your Word declares it.Holy Spirit, train me to pray in alignment with the name above every name.Let healing come—in my body, mind, family, and everywhere I go.In Your name, Jesus. Amen.”

Pray it daily until it goes from information to revelation.

Don’t just “hope” for healing. Learn how to activate it.

Today looks like what yesterday's words spoke.
In this episode, Jenilee Samuel unpacks a truth most believers miss: our words are creative currency. From the moment God spoke the world into existence, the same creative authority was wired into us — yet most of us use it against ourselves.

You’ll learn:

• why your current world is the harvest of your past words,
• how science confirms that sound waves don’t die (they echo and build form),
• and why heaven literally waits on your agreement before it moves.
• Jenilee weaves together Scripture,
• Hebrew revelation about the Decade of the Mouth (Peh),
• powerful personal stories,
• and biblical examples from Zechariah to Joshua to prove:

“You cannot live in overcoming if your mouth is prophesying defeat.”

Whether you’ve been careless with your confessions, stuck in cycles of doubt, or just ready to see your prayers finally produce, this episode will ignite your faith and show you how to:

• Recognize the worlds your words are building right now

• Retrain your mouth to align with heaven

• Partner with God and His angels to shape your destiny

By the end, you’ll know exactly how to “get your mouth in alignment” and start speaking the life you want to live.

🎧 Listen NOW!

Scripture Highlights:

James 3:5 – “...the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches.”
Proverbs 18:21 – “The tongue can bring death or life.”
Isaiah 55:11 – “My word will not return to Me empty.”

IN TODAY'S EPISODE:

Most Christians love God but rarely think of their money as part of their spiritual life. We see finances as practical — something separate from our walk with God — yet the Bible shows they’re deeply connected to our identity, obedience, and calling.

In this powerful episode, Jenilee Samuel sits down with Nathanael Iverson to uncover three untaught truths about Kingdom finances and why your money is one of the most spiritual tools God has given you. Together, they unpack how the tithe is actually an invitation into relationship and supernatural provision, not just a duty. Nathanael shares how understanding the difference between bread, seed, and abundance completely changed how he handled his finances — and how it can transform yours too.

They also talk about why debt quietly delays your destiny, how your seed money and calling to multiply are tied to fulfilling your purpose, and why hearing God in your finances is key to stepping into true Kingdom abundance.

Nathanael’s story is both humbling and inspiring. After 30 years in the corporate world, working in cybersecurity and communications, he finally surrendered to God’s original call on his life to be a musician. Today, he’s a composer, author, and speaker helping believers discover how their unique design connects to their purpose and provision.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode or unsure how to use your money wisely and spiritually, this conversation will give you fresh revelation, peace, and clarity. You’ll walk away knowing how to partner with God for provision, use money as a tool for Kingdom impact, and hear His voice more clearly in every financial decision.
