This is it—the season finale, and honey, it's a full-circle moment. Jewelle gets real about how she's been "living a lesson and a test out loud" throughout this entire season, building in front of you while God was building HER up from the inside. In this raw, powerful episode, she unpacks what it means to grow from infant faith to mature faith—from a baby who needs constant direction to a sovereign woman who can govern herself from Christ consciousness and make Spirit-led moves. Drawing from Ephesians 4:11-16 and Genesis 1:26, Jewelle reveals that you are made in God's image, crowned with dominion and creative power—and it's time to stop using "I'm waiting on God" as a cover for fear. Through the Six Values of Divine Reality Co-Creation and The Three Sovereign Questions, she shows you how to step into true partnership with God: claiming your power, making bold decisions, and surrendering outcomes all at once.

🔑 Key Message

You are a divine being made in God's image, and the journey from surrender to sovereignty is really about growing up in your faith—learning that God doesn't need you small and frozen, but confident and moving boldly in partnership.

✨ What You’ll Walk Away With

• A framework for understanding infant faith versus mature faith—and where you might be stuck in spiritual infancy

• Permission to stop playing small and step into your sovereignty as a divine being with dominion and creative power

• The Three Sovereign Questions—a practical tool for any decision that helps you claim your power, take aligned action, and surrender outcomes

🧠 By the end of this episode, you’ll see how:

• Surrender alone keeps you in infant faith—true co-creation with God requires sovereignty (governing from Christ consciousness), agency (using your power), and surrender working together

• You cannot surrender what you do not first own—mature faith means knowing you're powerful, capable, and able to make decisions, THEN choosing to align with God's will from that place of fullness

• God wants you smart and sovereign, not small and subservient—you're not a spoiled nepo-baby but a child of the King, raised right and trusted with the assignment

💌 Meant for your reflection:

As you listen, consider:

1. "Am I truly surrendered or am I just frozen? Am I trusting God or hiding behind 'waiting on God' because I'm scared to move?"

2. "What would I choose, decide, or create if I fully owned my power as a sovereign being made in God's image?"

3. "Where in my life is God calling me to grow UP—to stop needing constant direction and start governing myself from divine alignment?"

As a companion to Episode 10, this minisode features a short, reflective check-in to help you return to the vision you’re holding with God and reconnect with the theme guiding this season of your life.

Through gentle stillness, prayerful listening, and guided reflection, you’ll create space to notice what God is inviting you to embody today and how to move in alignment—without pressure, urgency, or overthinking. This practice is an invitation to return, recalibrate, and walk forward in partnership with God, one faithful step at a time.

What if planning your year wasn't about setting goals you hope God will bless, but about asking Him what He wants to birth through you? In this episode, Jewelle introduces Life Visioning—a spiritual discernment practice developed by Rev. Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith that shifts the question from "What do I want to accomplish?" to "What is seeking to emerge through me?"

Drawing from scripture, Beckwith's teachings, and Danielle Laporte's Core Desired Feelings framework, Jewelle walks you through how to receive God's vision for you, identify the spiritual qualities you're called to embody, choose a theme that captures this partnership, and build a flexible plan rooted in surrender and inspired action.

If you've been setting New Year resolutions that drain you, feel misaligned with who you're becoming, or fizzle out by February, this episode offers an alternative approach to goal-setting - one that honors both God's sovereign plan and your deepest desires, and feels sustainable, spiritually grounded, and deeply aligned.

🔑 Key Message

When we receive vision from God first, our plans and actions gain clarity, direction, and purpose.

✨ What You’ll Walk Away With

• A deeper understanding of Life Visioning as spiritual discernment—how to receive God's vision through stillness, the four foundational questions, and identifying qualities before conditions
• A new approach to annual planning that honors both God's sovereign plan and your deepest desires, helping you choose a theme word that becomes your north star for the year
• Practical tools for surrender and embodiment—how to release attachment to outcomes, take inspired action aligned with your theme, and live the qualities of your vision daily
  

By the end of this episode, you’ll see how:

• Life Visioning positions you as an instrument of divine intelligence, not the architect demanding approval
• Qualities (joy, peace, abundance, radiance) come before forms (the job, the house, the number)—and focusing on qualities keeps you flexible, open to God's surprises, and aligned with what's truly best
• Your annual theme can become a filter for important decisions, a reminder of who you're becoming, and a daily practice of partnership with God

Meant for your reflection:

As you listen, consider:

1. "Where have I been planning FOR God (asking Him to bless my agenda) instead of planning WITH God (receiving His vision and aligning with it)?"

2. "What vision is seeking to emerge through me this year? What is God inviting me to become, not just accomplish?"

3. "How do I want to feel as I steward God's vision? What spiritual qualities am I being called to embody daily?"
