Ever feel like you’re growing in faith but have no one guiding you? You’re not alone. In this episode, Jenilee and author Lori Melton talk about what to do when you don’t have a mentor, how God still leads you in the waiting, and practical ways to grow spiritually right where you are.

Lori shares her journey of learning to depend on the Holy Spirit, finding “spiritual giants” to learn from, and what it really means to be mentored by God Himself. You’ll walk away encouraged, equipped, and reminded—you’re not growing alone.

• Why mentorship matters for spiritual growth

• How God mentors us through people, books, and everyday moments

• What to do when you feel spiritually stuck or unseen

• Simple rhythms to deepen your walk with God

If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who’s growing in faith. And don’t forget to grab your Hearing God’s Voice Journal to start your own mentorship journey with the Holy Spirit.

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

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.

Scripture Highlights:

James 3:5 – “...the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches.”

Have you ever felt that pull to share your story or message, but you’re not sure where to start?

In this special bonus episode, I’m joined by Shawn Bolz — prophetic voice, author, and media personality — for a powerful invitation into what we’re calling “The Power of Your Voice in Podcasting.”

This is a 2-day live training designed to help believers discover how to steward their voice in today’s media generation. You’ll learn the spiritual and practical tools to start a podcast that carries God’s heart into the world — with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

Whether you’ve been sitting on a podcast idea for years or you’ve just started feeling that “God-nudge” to use your voice, this training is your next best step.

We’ll be covering how to:
• Recognize the spiritual authority your voice carries
• Break out of comparison and fear
• Partner with God to release truth, hope, and revelation through podcasting
• Take simple, practical steps to start your own show

This is not just a podcasting class — it’s a calling activation.
