In today’s episode, we talk about surrendering the kingdom of comfort. 
Do you catch yourself defending your reputation, your comfort, or your image like your life depends on it? In this faith-based reflection, Jen walks through the Lord's Prayer and asks a question that gets right to the heart of things: whose kingdom am I actually building today, mine or God's? If you're craving Christian encouragement that helps you release control and hear from God in the middle of your ordinary, busy day, this one's for you. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Matthew 6:9–10

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,

10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.

Question
God, what’s one way you want your Kingdom in me and my life today?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about the point of praying.
Ever feel like your prayers are just a list of requests God already knows about anyway? In this episode, we dig into the Lord's Prayer and uncover why Jesus taught us to pray—and it has nothing to do with information and everything to do with relationship. If you're tired, worn out, and craving real connection with God, this faith-based reflection will help you feel safe bringing your whole heart to Him, exactly as you are. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Matthew 6:7–8
"And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."

Question
God, what would you love to hear me talk with you about today?

In today’s episode, we talk about what if prayer didn't have to be all words? 
If your prayer life feels like one more thing on the to-do list, this conversation with Jennifer Tucker is for you. She opens up about the anxiety and overwhelm that led her to discover breath prayer and other embodied prayer practices, and how she learned that connecting with God can happen in the smallest moments — washing dishes, walking a hospital hallway, or simply noticing your own breath. It's a warm, honest look at what it means to hear from God without the checklist, the performance, or the pressure to get it "right." 
Jennifer Tucker is an artist and bestselling author. Jennifer is a wife, mother, and grandmother, as well as a devoted follower of Jesus and an advocate for mental health. Her latest book is "Prayer in Motion: An Invitation to Be Present, Connect with God, and Pray with Your Whole Self."

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about self-control without the self-pressure.
Do you feel like self-control depends entirely on how hard you try? In this faith-based reflection, we look at why willpower alone leaves us worn out, and how God's Spirit actually empowers the self-control we've been striving for on our own. If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through spiritual growth, this Christian encouragement will help you learn how to hear from God about the one area where you need Him to step in today. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Titus 2:11-12
"For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age."

Question
God, where's an area of my life where I lack self-control, and what do you want to empower me to walk in instead by your Spirit?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about the end of performance-based faithfulness 
If faithfulness feels like a pressure you're constantly falling short of, this episode is for you. Jen unpacks why faithfulness is actually a fruit of the Holy Spirit—something God grows in you, not something you have to force through sheer willpower. It's a moment of Christian encouragement for the tired woman who wants to walk in obedience to God without carrying the weight of getting it perfect. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Lamentations 3:22–24
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”

Question
God, what does faithfulness look like in this season—not my ideal season, but this one?
