We said yes to the call.
We prayed, we planned, we poured ourselves out in obedience.

And then…
things fell apart.
Hearts were wounded.
Doors slammed shut.
We questioned everything.
Was this even God’s will? Did we miss Him? Was it all for nothing?

Have you ever been there, friend?

When you obeyed, and it still felt like failure?

This episode is our story of a mission that nearly crushed us—and the miracle we didn’t see coming.

Because here's what we learned in the rubble:

God doesn’t waste what wounds us. He rebuilds with it.

In this episode, we talk about:
– What it feels like when obedience leads to opposition
– How to navigate the heartbreak of a calling that costs you
– The redemptive plot twist only God could write
– Why pain is often the soil where purpose starts to bloom

📖 Romans 8:28 – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him...”

Even the failed plans.
Even the burnout.
Even the breakdowns in the middle of the mission.

🎧 Episode [15]: The Mission That Almost Broke Us is live now.

You’re not crazy, sis. You’re just in the middle of the story.
And God’s not done yet.

What if your breakthrough starts with one small, brave yes?

In this episode, we’re getting real about burnout—the kind that creeps in quietly while you're juggling marriage, motherhood, ministry, and the mental load of being everything to everyone. If you've ever felt stuck in survival mode, snapping at your kids, numb in your faith, or disconnected from your own body… this one's for you, sis.

We talk about the ripple effect of one woman choosing wellness—not just for six-pack abs or more checkboxes, but so she can show up whole in her home, her calling, and her walk with God.

You’ll hear stories of women who traded exhaustion for energy, shame for freedom, and chaos for clarity. And how saying yes to health and healing isn’t selfish—it’s sacred.

“Healed women raise whole families. And whole families reshape the world.”

It starts with one yes. Maybe today, it starts with yours.

Inside this episode:

• The signs of hidden burnout and why it’s not your fault

• How your health is deeply connected to your calling

• Why stewarding your body is a spiritual decision

• The ripple effect of healing in marriage, motherhood, and mission

• Scriptures to cling to when you’re running on empty

Friend, your future self will thank you for listening.

Are you serving, striving, and showing up for everyone—but deep down, your soul feels tired and stretched thin? Not just physically, but spiritually? Sis, that might not be burnout—it might be a holy invitation to pause and realign.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the sacred difference between hustle and Holy Spirit-led momentum. You’ll learn how to recognize when you're walking in alignment with your God-given purpose—and when you're simply operating from pressure, people-pleasing, or fear. We’ll walk through five powerful reflection questions, real-life stories (including a powerful moment from Jamie Kern Lima’s journey), and some honest truth from my own seasons of burnout.

💗 If you’ve ever wrestled with saying yes to too many “good” things while missing the God things—this episode is for you.

📖 Scriptures we’re leaning on:
Isaiah 48:17, Galatians 5:22–23, Philippians 4:7, Psalm 32:8

✨ You’ll walk away with:

• A Spirit-check on your current season

• Clarity on what alignment actually feels like

• Encouragement to stop striving and start listening

• Peace that doesn’t depend on your productivity

You’re not failing—you’re being refined.
Let’s trade burnout for being deeply rooted, one Spirit-led step at a time.

In today’s episode of Women Around the Well, I’m sitting down with the incredible Shellie Kemp—a woman who never planned to be a pastor, but ohhh friend, God had bigger, bolder, and more beautiful plans!

Shellie’s story is raw and real. Raised in the middle of dysfunction, addiction, and chaos, she became a master at people-pleasing and overachieving—all while burying her own pain. But when she hit rock bottom, Jesus showed up in the most powerful way. Her life was turned upside down (in the best way), and now she walks with others into freedom, healing, and restoration as the Freedom & Care Pastor at Christ Fellowship.

In this episode, we talk about:
✨ The masks we wear to survive
✨ Hitting rock bottom—and finding Jesus there
✨ Healing from co-dependency and performance-based living
✨ Why you are never too broken for God
✨ How surrender always leads to victory (even if it doesn’t look like you thought it would!)

Shellie reminds us that healing isn’t always neat or linear—but it’s always worth it. And her life? It’s proof that God can take the most shattered stories and turn them into something stunning.

What can God do with $2.75?
In this powerful episode of Women Around the Well, Jenna gets real about one of the most vulnerable seasons of her life—a time when her bank account was nearly empty, her heart was weary, and her faith was being tested in ways she never expected.

From the weight of medical bills and marriage stress to an unexpected Christmas tip and a leap of obedience into a health journey—this is a testimony of God’s provision in the pause.

You’ll laugh, cry, and maybe even see your own story in the middle of hers.
Because sometimes the miracle isn’t in the breakthrough—it’s in the brave “yes” we give when everything in us wants to say no.

If you’ve ever wondered if God sees you, hears you, or cares about your bank balance and broken pieces—this episode is your reminder:
He’s not done. He’s just getting started.

🎧 Listen in and be encouraged to trust Him with your next brave step.

Feeling stretched thin and wondering if it’s faith—or just your leggings? In this episode of Women Around the Well, we’re unpacking the bold, beautiful prayer of Jabez—but from a woman’s perspective. You know, the woman juggling purpose, pressure, and a prayer life that sometimes sounds like, “Lord, help me not lose it in the carpool line.”

Join Jenna as she breaks down the four powerful parts of Jabez’s prayer: asking for blessing (without guilt), expanding your capacity (without burning out), walking with God’s hand (instead of hustling on your own), and breaking generational pain (because your past doesn’t get the final word).

This episode is part Bible study, part pep talk, part permission slip to believe that you can ask God for more—more peace, more purpose, more space to serve—and it’s not selfish, it’s sacred.

Grab your journal, your coffee, and maybe your Spanx (just in case God really does enlarge your territory), and let’s pray bold prayers together—because sis, He’s not done with your story yet. 💗
