Rooted & Resilient is the podcast for Christian women over 50 navigating life’s transitions with faith, courage, and purpose. Whether you’re adjusting to an empty nest, starting over after divorce, feeling unseen, searching for purpose, or stepping into a new season, you are not alone.

Host and author Jennifer Carter brings the Bible to life for women navigating life’s challenges - because sometimes life doesn’t go as planned, and we need a way to find hope, direction and purpose again.

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.

  • Does God See You?
    Nov 18 2025

    Have you ever wondered what God really sees when He looks at you? Not the version that holds it all together — but the real, tired, faithful you. The one who keeps showing up when no one else seems to notice.

    In this heartfelt episode, Jen opens her heart about what it means to be truly seen by God. Through the stories of women who felt invisible and forgotten, we begin to glimpse a different kind of love — one that notices the quiet moments, the hidden faith, the prayers whispered when no one is listening.

    Maybe you’ve compared yourself to others and wondered why you weren’t made softer, quieter, more like “her.” Maybe you’ve questioned if God could still use you. But what if the very things you see as flaws are the fingerprints of His design?

    This is an episode for every woman who’s ever felt unseen — for every daughter of God who needs the reminder that her story still matters. Come listen, and let truth settle deep in your heart: you are known, chosen, and profoundly loved.

    Because when God looks at you, He doesn’t see your failures or fears — He sees His masterpiece.

  • When The World Says You're Done - But God Says There's More
    Nov 11 2025

    Have you ever wondered if the quiet things you do—the unnoticed kindness, the behind-the-scenes care—actually make a difference? Maybe you’ve spent years serving others, raising kids, supporting family or church, only to find yourself now navigating life after loss, divorce, an empty nest, or simply wondering, What now?

    In this episode of Rooted & Resilient, we continue our series on the Invisible Women of the Bible and meet Tabitha—also called Dorcas—a woman in the book of Acts who didn’t preach or stand on platforms, but whose love and care transformed a whole community. She was a disciple in the truest sense: quietly loving well, meeting practical needs, and restoring dignity to those the world had overlooked.

    When she died, the women she served wept—not just because they missed her, but because they feared losing the one person who had helped them feel seen.

    If you’ve ever felt invisible, or questioned whether your small acts of love matter in the long run, this story will speak right to your heart.

    And what happens next? Let’s just say—God didn’t let her story end there.

  • When Faith Means Letting Go
    Nov 4 2025

    In this episode of Rooted and Resilient, we continue our series in The Invisible Women of the Bible and look at the story of Jochebed, the mother of Moses, a woman who faced an impossible choice in a time of fear and uncertainty. Her faith led her to take a step that would change history—but not in the way anyone expected.

    For older Christian women (over 50, or even 60!), Jochebed’s journey may feels familiar. Whether you’re navigating the empty nest, stepping into retirement, experiencing loss, or simply wondering what’s next, you know the tension of wanting to hold on while life asks you to release.

    What does it really look like to trust God in those moments? And how can letting go open the door to a deeper purpose in this season of life?

    Join me as we uncover the truths hidden in Jochebed’s story—one that speaks directly to older Christian women who long to rediscover peace, courage, and renewed purpose in life’s changing seasons.
