  Watch Your Words | Cages or Wings — The Power of Speech in Your Faith Journey S3 Ep13

  Oct 2, 202615 minS3

  Someone told me I was dark. Not pretty. I was a little girl. And I believed them for a very long time. Then I walked into a different room. Everything people said about me changed. But I hadn't changed. Not one thing. The room changed. The words changed. And I realized — words are not just opinions. They are either cages or wings. This is the personal faith journey behind Episode 12 of Joyful Purpose — and the truth that changed everything about how Sheila speaks over her children, herself, and the women in her life. A Christ centered life means living with purpose in what we say — online, at home, and in the quiet of our own minds. In this episode: - The story of a word spoken over Sheila as a child that shaped her for years - What James 3 says about the tongue and the whole course of a life - Why Proverbs 18:21 is more serious than most christian women realize - The specific challenge of faith and the comment section — social media and the tongue - Words we speak over ourselves — and why they matter just as much - How to speak life over your children intentionally every day - 3 practical shifts this week Scripture: James 3, Proverbs 18:21, Psalm 19:14, Deuteronomy 6 Faith books: hopelightwonder.com/books Try Audible FREE: https://amzn.to/4x9mq5k Member Library: hopelightwonder.com/member-site Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, YouTube Music & YouTube — hopelightwonder.com/podcast #WatchYourWords #FaithJourney #ChristCenteredLife #LivingWithPurpose #ChristianWomenPodcast #JoyfulPurpose #HopeLightWonder #GlorifyJesus #PersonalFaithStory #SpeakLife #IdentityInChrist #ChristianMom

  Sep 25, 20268 minS3

  Today's guest is someone more important than any podcast coach, film actress, or faith leader Sheila has ever interviewed. Her daughter Lily. In one of the most joyful, tender, and surprisingly profound episodes of Season 3, Sheila sits down with her young daughter for an honest conversation about God, faith, prayer, heaven, and what it means to grow up believing. Jesus said — "Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." This episode is what that verse looks like in real life. Lily talks about who God is, whether He talks back when she prays, what she would ask Him if she had one question, what heaven looks like, and what she wants to say to every grown-up woman listening today. Her answers will stop you in your tracks. This is the most personal faith journey episode of Season 3. A Christ centered life — lived simply, with wonder — through the eyes of a child. In this episode: - What a child's faith sounds like — unfiltered and extraordinary - The one question Lily would ask God - What heaven looks like according to an under-10 theologian - Her message to every woman listening - One thing she knows for sure about God Bring tissues.

  Rooted, Not Rushed | Shayla Huber on Identity in Christ, Marriage & Farm Life S3 Ep11

  Sep 18, 202651 minS3

  What does it look like to live from a secure identity in Christ — not just know it theologically, but actually live it out in your marriage, your motherhood, and your everyday life? In this episode Sheila sits down with Shayla Huber — a rodeo wife, boy mom, and woman of deep faith living on their family farm in Iowa. There is something about the rhythm of farm life — the seasons, the soil, the slow and steady pace — that mirrors exactly what God calls us to. Rooted. Not rushed. This is a faith journey toward a Christ centered life — living with purpose from who God says you are, not what the world says you should be. In this episode: - Living from your identity in Christ — not toward it - How a secure identity transforms marriage from the inside out - What farm life teaches us about faithfulness and God's timing - Raising boys to love Jesus in the everyday ordinary moments - What rooted unhurried faith looks like in a rushed noisy world Scripture: Colossians 3:3, Galatians 2:20, Psalm 46:10 Kingdom Identity Quiz: hopelightwonder.com/identity Faith books: hopelightwonder.com/books Try Audible FREE: https://amzn.to/4x9mq5k Member Library: hopelightwonder.com/member-site Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, YouTube Music & YouTube — hopelightwonder.com/podcast #RootedNotRushed #FaithJourney #ChristCenteredLife #LivingWithPurpose #IdentityInChrist #ChristianMarriage #ChristianMom #JoyfulPurpose #HopeLightWonder #PersonalFaithStory #GlorifyJesus #FarmLifeFaith

  Sep 11, 202632 minS3

  She went to help on a film set. She had never acted a day in her life. The director said — "I'd like you to read for the lead female role." She thought he meant narrator. He did not. In Part 2 of this conversation with Jenilee Samuel — podcast coach and founder of Java with Jen — we get to the story that will make your jaw drop. The accidental actress. The brown bear prophecy from 18 months before. A Christian film alongside Dean Cain and Eric Roberts. And a sister who had already auditioned for the same part. This is the faith journey of a woman who gave God her yes — and watched Him prove it over and over again. A Christ centered life means living with purpose even when the door makes no sense. In this episode: - The full accidental actress story - The brown bear prophecy - Why God qualifies the called - Your scars carry oil for someone else's healing - 3 barriers keeping Christian women from starting their podcast - How to treat every day like THE day ✨ Connect with Jenilee: ️ Free 7-Step Podcast Checklist: startyourpodcastchecklist.subscribepage.io jenileesamuel.com jen@javawithjenpodcast.com facebook.com/share/19avBvLMBE Scripture: Revelation 12:11, 2 Corinthians 1:4, Esther 4:14 Kingdom Identity Quiz: hopelightwonder.com/identity ️ Podcast Studio: hopelightwonder.com/podcast-studio Try Audible FREE: https://amzn.to/4x9mq5k Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, YouTube Music & YouTube — hopelightwonder.com/podcast #CalledToShowUp #FaithJourney #ChristCenteredLife #LivingWithPurpose #ChristianWomenPodcast #AccidentalActress #HopeLightWonder #PersonalFaithStory #GlorifyJesus #HowToStartAPodcast

  The Comparison Trap | Stop Measuring Your Calling Against Her Highlight Reel

  Sep 4, 202617 minS3

  What if the exhaustion you feel isn't from working too hard — but from measuring yourself against someone who doesn't even exist? In this episode Sheila gets honest about what happened in her own heart after hearing Jenilee Samuel's calling story. For thirty seconds she was inspired. Then the comparison crept in. Using a powerful analogy from her corporate career — the Frankenstein competitor — Sheila unpacks exactly what we do on social media. We take her calling, her marriage, her platform, her highlight reel, stitch it together into one imaginary woman — and compare our whole real self to someone who doesn't exist. This is your faith journey back to your own lane. A Christ centered life means living with purpose in YOUR calling — not someone else's highlight reel. In this episode: - The Frankenstein competitor analogy from corporate life - What TikTok culture has done to Christian women and comparison - Why viral is not the same as anointed - How to turn comparison into prayer - 3 practical shifts this week Scripture: Galatians 6:4, 2 Corinthians 10:12, Hebrews 12:1 Kingdom Identity Quiz: hopelightwonder.com/identity Podcast Studio: hopelightwonder.com/podcast-studio Try Audible FREE: https://amzn.to/4x9mq5k Member Library: hopelightwonder.com/member-site Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, YouTube Music & YouTube — hopelightwonder.com/podcast #ComparisonTrap #FaithJourney #ChristCenteredLife #LivingWithPurpose #ChristianWomenPodcast #JoyfulPurpose #HopeLightWonder #PersonalFaithStory #GlorifyJesus #IdentityInChrist
