If you’re stepping into a new year hoping things will finally be different, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth most of us were never taught: real transformation doesn’t happen through self-help, white-knuckling your goals, or trying to reinvent yourself. Real transformation begins with God’s love—not your effort. In today’s episode, I’m sharing: Why New Year’s resolutions tend to collapse under their own weight A personal story of how my own plans for 2025 were upended—and how God redirected me toward a fresh start instead of another do-over How the Samaritan woman’s story reveals the difference between starting over and receiving a fresh start rooted in God’s love What it looks like to release the pressure to fix yourself and let God lead you into lasting change If you’re craving a new beginning in 2026—one that’s grounded in God, not reinvention—this episode will help you see what’s possible when you let God love you into transformation. ✨ Want support as you step into a fresh start?The challenge Reset the Love: 5 Days to Personalize Your Walk With God This Season begins January 12th inside Relate Escape Place and will only be available for a limited time.

If you’ve been reflecting on this past year—or a recent season of your life—and feel like you’ve failed God again, I want you to pause before you decide to “start over.” Because here’s the truth: God doesn’t want you to start over. He wants to give you a fresh start. In this episode, I share a personal story from my own life—the season after my divorce in 2011—when I had to learn the difference between starting over and starting fresh. Starting over focuses on recreating the same story with the same patterns. But a fresh start allows God to grow you, heal you, and lead you into something brand new. We’ll also look at the stories of Rahab and Ruth, two women who chose God’s invitation to begin again—not by repeating the past, but by stepping into a future only He could write. ✨ If you’re ready to let go of the cycle of “trying again” and receive God’s invitation to a true fresh start, this episode will show you what that looks like and how to take your first steps. ⏱️At the end, I’ll also share a sneak peek at my upcoming Reset the Love challenge happening in January—an opportunity to reset your heart and walk into 2026 refreshed, renewed, and ready to receive God’s love in deeper ways. --------------------    🔎 Discover Your 1st Step to Fully Experiencing God’s Love (Free Quiz): https://www.relateescape.com/quiz 💌 Get a weekly reminder of God’s tender love for you—plus exclusive offers: https://relate-escape.kit.com/godlovesme 🤝 Connect with other women in Relate Escape Place: https://www.relateescape.com/membership 🛍️ Shop the Relate Escape store: https://www.relateescape.com/store 📌 Follow Jenn on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/relateescape

If you've been through a hard year, it can be tempting to just move on and not look back. But what if God is asking you to pause—not to relive the pain, but to heal it? In this episode, I open up about how God used a difficult season to bring deep emotional healing—and why He may be doing the same in your life. Through the story of the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1–11), you’ll discover that God’s love doesn’t condemn or shame you. It restores and renews you. You’ll also be guided through a reflective exercise to help you release what’s been heavy this year and invite God’s healing presence into those broken places. ✨ By the end, you’ll see that the same Jesus who protected and restored the woman in John 8 is ready to heal you too—so you can step into the new year lighter, freer, and loved. --------------------    🔎 Discover Your 1st Step to Fully Experiencing God’s Love (Free Quiz): https://www.relateescape.com/quiz 💌 Get a weekly reminder of God’s tender love for you—plus exclusive offers: https://relate-escape.kit.com/godlovesme 🤝 Connect with other women in Relate Escape Place: https://www.relateescape.com/membership 🛍️ Shop the Relate Escape store: https://www.relateescape.com/store 📌 Follow Jenn on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/relateescape

If you struggle to feel loved by God—or to even believe that He does love you—you’re not alone. Many women were taught to see God through a distorted lens that made His love feel conditional or unreachable. But the truth is: His love has been surrounding you all along. In this episode, I share how learning God’s true character helped me look back and see His love in moments I once thought were empty or painful. Through personal stories and two guided exercises, you’ll learn how to: Recognize where God’s love has already shown up in your life Shift how you see Him—and yourself—in light of biblical truth Receive His love in a deeper, more personal way ✨ By the end, you’ll begin to recognize what’s always been there: a God whose love never left you, even in the hardest places. --------------------    🔎 Discover Your 1st Step to Fully Experiencing God’s Love (Free Quiz): https://www.relateescape.com/quiz 💌 Get a weekly reminder of God’s tender love for you—plus exclusive offers: https://relate-escape.kit.com/godlovesme 🤝 Connect with other women in Relate Escape Place: https://www.relateescape.com/membership 🛍️ Shop the Relate Escape store: https://www.relateescape.com/store 📌 Follow Jenn on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/relateescape

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’ve gone too far for God to love you, this episode will bring peace and hope right where you need it most. You’ll be immersed in one powerful truth: God has never — and will never — stop pursuing you. I also share part of my own journey from running far from God to discovering His unrelenting love — a love that continued to chase me through mistakes, heartbreak, and even spiritual detours. ✨ You’ll learn: Why nothing you’ve done can separate you from God’s love (Romans 8:31–39). How His care for your life shows up in even the smallest details (Luke 12:7, 1 Peter 5:7). The difference between believing God exists and truly trusting His heart for you.

Have you ever been made to feel like you had to earn God’s love? In this episode, I share a powerful story from my teenage years when I was suddenly cut off by two lifelong friends for not being “Christian enough.” That painful rejection, I later learned, revealed a deep truth: God’s love doesn’t work that way. ✨ Together, we’ll explore: Why God is focused on your heart — not your performance or perfection. The story of the Samaritan woman at the well and what it reveals about God's intentional, unconditional love. How God pursues you personally — even when you feel least deserving. Why community and connection are vital for learning to receive His love. If you’ve ever felt unworthy, unloved, or not “good enough” for God — this episode will help you see how deeply and deliberately He’s been pursuing you all along.   ✨ Want a safe space to explore His love and grow at your own pace?

Human love often feels conditional — do this, and you’ll be loved. Don’t do this, and love is withdrawn. I know that reality firsthand from my own marriage, where “love” was treated like a transaction. But God’s love? It’s completely different. It’s not transactional. It’s not based on performance. And in this episode, I’ll show you how Scripture reveals His love as unconditional and unshakable — with John 3:16–18 as the foundation. ✨ In this episode, you’ll discover: The stark difference between human and divine love. Why God sending Jesus proves His love isn’t conditional. How to begin shifting away from “transactional” thinking and embrace the freedom of unconditional love. If you’ve ever wondered if God’s love really extends to you — no strings attached — this episode will give you hope and clarity. 👉 Take the free quiz What’s Your First Step to Fully Experiencing God’s Love? to keep moving forward in understanding His unconditional love: https://www.relateescape.com/quiz   --------------------    🔎 Discover Your 1st Step to Fully Experiencing God’s Love (Free Quiz): https://www.relateescape.com/quiz 💌 Get a weekly reminder of God’s tender love for you—plus exclusive offers: https://relate-escape.kit.com/godlovesme 🤝 Connect with other women in Relate Escape Place: https://www.relateescape.com/membership 🛍️ Shop the Relate Escape store: https://www.relateescape.com/store 📌 Follow Jenn on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/relateescape

Who does God say you are? If you’ve ever carried around painful labels from your past — unworthy, unwanted, not enough — it’s time to exchange them for the truth of your biblical identity. In this episode, I share pieces of my own story, from childhood to my first church experiences, and how the world tried to convince me I didn’t belong. But then I’ll show you what Scripture says: that God calls you loved, chosen, and family. You’ll also get a practical activity to help you visually swap out old labels for the truth of God’s Word — something you can create digitally or by hand as a powerful reminder of who you really are. ✨ What you’ll gain from this episode: Hope that your past labels don’t define your future.

When life gets heavy and God feels silent, it’s easy to wonder if He’s abandoned you. But His Word says something very different: God has promised never to leave you or stop loving you — no matter how things may look or feel. In this episode, I share from my own journey of walking through seasons where God’s silence felt overwhelming and hopeless. We’ll explore how silence does not equal absence, why God sometimes waits to move until certain burdens are lifted, and the truth of His unshakable love. You’ll also walk away with a simple but powerful exercise to help you replace the lies of abandonment with God’s promises, so you can rest in His presence and remember that His love is always near. What you’ll learn in this episode: Why God’s silence doesn’t mean He has abandoned you How to hold onto His promises even when you can’t feel Him A simple exercise to help you replace lies with truth and feel anchored in His love ✨ If this message encourages you, sign up for my free Tender Tuesday emails (https://relate-escape.kit.com/godlovesme), where I share weekly encouragement to help you feel God’s love more deeply in your everyday life. --------------------    🔎 Discover Your 1st Step to Fully Experiencing God’s Love (Free Quiz): https://www.relateescape.com/quiz 💌 Get a weekly reminder of God’s tender love for you—plus exclusive offers: https://relate-escape.kit.com/godlovesme 🤝 Connect with other women in Relate Escape Place: https://www.relateescape.com/membership 🛍️ Shop the Relate Escape store: https://www.relateescape.com/store 📌 Follow Jenn on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/relateescape

In this episode, I’ll share both my story and biblical truth to help you see that your identity and worth don’t come from your circumstances — they come from God Himself. Here’s what you’ll learn: How God gave me hope in a season when life felt dark and hopeless. Why your true identity comes from God’s love and character, not your past or present situation.

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough for God? That His love is something you have to constantly work for, instead of something you can actually rest in?

Have you ever heard someone use the Bible to excuse abuse against women—or to make God seem harsh, cruel, or unloving? It’s confusing and painful when Scripture is used that way, and it can leave you questioning who God really is. In this episode, I reveal a powerful hack that clears up the confusion: the difference between descriptive and prescriptive passages in the Bible. You’ll learn how to spot the difference, see biblical examples, and understand why not everything described in Scripture reflects God’s approval or design. You’ll also hear personal stories from my early years as a Christian, showing how I wrestled with contradictory examples—and how God revealed His true, loving character.
