HOST SWAP: Enjoy this interview where I was the guest on Kathryn May's podcast "Free to Lead", where we discussed following God into obedience even when you're scared. It may feel like failure, but it's probably radical obedience.

****SUMMER FAN FAVORITES THROW BACK!****

We all want to get better at hearing God's voice, and that usually leads us right to the question, "How do I teach my KIDS to hear God's voice too?".  

In today's episode (from the vault), Chi Alpha Pastor Michaela Waters, mom of three and life-long-learner-and-book-lover, shares how she has tackled that challenge as someone who did NOT grow up in an environment where that was taught.  

You'll be really enriched by the simplicity and depth of this episode... and don't miss the life hack wh...

I know what you’re thinking—what do hearing god's voice and christian weight loss challenges have to do with each other?

Honestly, that’s exactly what I thought too, until I realized the same key has the power to unlock both doors. It’s not just about what you’re eating; it’s about the food noise and mental static preventing you from true spiritual clarity.

In this episode, I’m joined by mental fitness coach Eryn Kubinski to uncover the hidden connection between self-sabotage, physical health, and your walk with Christ.

Have you ever felt like you were doing all the right things—reading your Bible, praying, showing up… and God just felt silent?

This episode is for that moment.

You’re reading your Bible. You’re praying. You’re doing everything you’ve been taught to do… but it feels like nothing is happening.

In this episode, Jenilee sits down with Jessica DeYoung to talk about what it actually means to walk through a “wilderness season” in your faith—and why it might not mean something is wrong.

You’ll learn:

Are you secretly afraid you've already messed up your kids?

Rhonda Stoppe, author of Moms of the Bible, sits down with Jen to unpack why Christian moms carry so much guilt — and what God actually says about flawed, broken, faithful motherhood. Spoiler: He didn't just tolerate your mess. He chose it.

From Rebecca's manipulation to Jochebed's terrifying faith, Rhonda walks us through real biblical women who were imperfect, afraid, and still used by God to shape history.

In this episode:✔ Why mom guilt is a spiritual attack — not just a feeling✔ The dangerous "perfect...

UFOs. AI. CERN. The signs of the times are accelerating — and most Christians are genuinely not prepared for what's coming.

Prophet and author Joseph Z joins Jen for one of the most important conversations of 2026. From UFO disclosure to AI deception to the CERN experiments — Joseph breaks down the spiritual warfare behind the headlines, what the Bible actually says about end times signs, and why 2026 is a pivotal year in Bible prophecy. This is not a message of fear — it's a message of authority, hope & ... "we win"!

April is a life coach, wife of 28 years, mom of four, and th...

Many Christians love God… but still struggle with anxiety, chronic illness, or patterns they can’t seem to break.

In this episode, I sit down with Beatty Carmichael, author of The Prayer of Freedom, to talk about a biblical approach to inner healing and personal deliverance that’s helping people experience real, lasting breakthrough.

Beatty shares a repentance-based prayer process rooted in Scripture that he’s used with over 1,000 people—with nearly 90% experiencing measurable healing and freedom, even in long-term or resistant cases.

And here’s what makes this conversation different…

My boys said Hurricane Harvey was their favorite part of the year… and we had just lost everything!

Today’s episode is a special conversation from when I was a guest on Witness the Wonder.

We walked through losing everything in Hurricane Harvey—and the mind-blowing, miraculous ways God showed up in the middle of it.

I had asked God how to preserve my boys' hearts from this trauma, and he gave me one simple piece of wisdom. I followed it.

And at the end of the year, the boys said their...

When your child begins questioning their identity, it can feel like everything shifts overnight.

You love your child deeply… but you’re also trying to stay rooted in your faith.
And suddenly you’re navigating conversations you never expected to have.

In this episode, I sit down with Debra Ann McNinch to talk about how Christian parents can walk through identity questions with wisdom...

...and how to heal from them! Their brokenness doesn't have to become yours, but first you must be able to identify if that's where your church hurt and confusion is coming from.

If you’ve ever experienced church hurt, felt confused by leadership, or wondered why something felt “off” but you couldn’t explain it—this conversation will likely put words to what you’ve been sensing.

In this episode, I sit down with world-renown theologian and author Scot McKnight to talk about toxic church culture, narcissistic leadership, and what it actually looks like to build a heal...

Do signs, wonders, and miracles still happen today—or was that just for the early church? And if the supernatural is real, is it only for “special” Christians… or for you too?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Jason Chin, missionary in Switzerland and founder of Love Says Go Ministries. Jason has seen God move through healing, prophecy, dreams, and visions all over the world, and he shares how the supernatural side of the Kingdom is meant to be a normal part of every believer’s life.

Have you ever felt torn when you see another church leader fall publicly?

Part of you wants to defend the Church, but another part of you knows we can’t just sweep sin under the rug. We are seeing headlines everywhere about "Cover-Up Culture," and honestly, it’s "trendy", in some instances it may be true, and in some, it may be love seeking to cover.

But it leaves us with a really hard question: Is it ever okay to judge? And how do we JUDGE RIGHTLY without being JUDGEMENTAL?

Let’s be honest.

When God feels silent, your brain does not stay neutral.

It fills in the blanks.

And most of the time? It fills them in wrong.

In this episode with Autumn Miles, we’re talking about the five sneaky beliefs that MANY people experience that can start surfacing when we don’t feel clarity, confirmation, or that familiar sense of God’s nearness.

These aren’t dramatic, obvious lies.

They’re subtle.
They sound spiritual, or at least humble.
And they quietly distort how...

In this powerful conversation, Jenilee Samuel sits down with Heather Shriver Burns — master coach, spiritual director, and host of the Seek First CEO podcast — to explore the real reasons many believers struggle to hear God clearly.

Heather shares her personal journey from a checklist faith and high-achievement mindset to a deep, intimate, two-way relationship with God. Through loss, busyness, trauma, and relational experiences, she discovered that silence from God often isn’t God being distant — it reflects what’s crowded our inner world.

Together Jenilee and Heather unpack:

I do not believe in cover-up culture. When abuse is reported, it should be taken seriously and handled through appropriate reporting and legal processes. The church must support this process, and I know most do.

At the same time, the path forward for the Church after allegations have been reported, is not always simple or universally agreed upon. What some interpret as “cover-up culture,” others may view as discretion exercised to protect those involved while proper processes unfold. This statement is not intended to defend, accuse, or make a case in either direction.

In this episode, Jenilee sits down with deliverance minister and author Mike Brewer for a powerful and eye-opening conversation on bloodline deliverance, generational curses, and what it really means to become the Curse Breaker in your family.

Together they unpack:

In this gripping episode, Jenilee sits down with Steve Kang to explore his radical journey from devout Buddhism into a near-death encounter that he says took him through hell and heaven. Raised and trained in Buddhism, Steve struggled with deep questions about justice and suffering. But at age 19, after a drug overdose laced with multiple substances, he spiraled into spiritual darkness, demonic encounters, and an experience he describes as “eight hours in hell.”

Steve shares how deception shaped his early worldview, what he believes opened the door to spiritual warfare in his life, and how Jesus intervened duri...

If you grew up watching MTV… if you’ve ever listened to a podcast… or if you’ve simply existed on the internet in the last 20 years… you’ve been impacted by today’s guest, whether you knew it or not.

Adam Curry — former MTV icon, media pioneer, and co-inventor of podcasting — joins me for a conversation that honestly feels like a movie. Most people know him as the Podfather… but very few know the plot twist that happened at age 58, when God interrupted his life and everything changed.

In today’s episode, Adam opens up...

If worship still feels like the “warm-up” before the sermon, you’re missing its most powerful purpose.

What if worship is actually the fastest way to tune your ears to hear God clearly…
…and most believers have never been taught how it really works?

What if the reason your prayers for healing aren’t working has nothing to do with your faith level… and everything to do with where your faith is pointed?

In this powerful conversation, missionary Josh Siratt shares the moment the Holy Spirit confronted him with a truth that completely shifted the way he prayed—and why healing began to happen effortlessly once he made one vital change.

From praying over drunk students in the back of his Uber to witnessing miracles in Italy and beyond, Josh breaks down the difference between having faith in healing vs. ha...
