Hey friend,

You know those conversations that feel like a deep breath and a warm hug at the same time? That’s exactly what this episode with Laura L. Smith felt like.

Laura is a gifted author and speaker who’s passionate about helping women uncover the truth of who they are in Christ. In today’s episode, she and I talk about how we can find joy in our everyday moments, even the ones that feel slow or frustrating. We dive into what it means to wait well on God, how to be brave even when we're afraid, and why building community and friendships is more than just a “nice idea” it’s essential.

Here are two takeaways I hope you carry with you:

✨ Prayer doesn’t need to be fancy or formal. It’s a real conversation with a real God who cares deeply about your real life.

✨ There is joy to be found right where you are. Even in the ordinary, even in the waiting, even in the hard, joy is there, if we slow down enough to see it.

Laura’s heart for women and her love for God’s Word shine through every story she shares. If you’ve been longing for a reminder that God sees you, hears you, and is walking with you — this is the episode to press play on.

Truly Yours,

Jen
