Opening Up About My Past Marriage 10 Years Later… 15.09.2026 1sa 11dkTen years later, I’m finally ready to share a part of my story that I’ve carried quietly for a long time: my past marriage and annulment. In this episode, I’m opening up about being 21, feeling isolated and unsure of myself, and finding myself in a toxic relationship that ultimately led me to make decisions I never thought I would make. I share about the pressure, shame, fear, loss of purity, and secrecy I carried—and how those things kept me stuck far longer than I should have been. But I more importantly want to highlight how God met me in one of the darkest seasons of my life, how my family, friends, counseling, and community helped me find the courage to leave, and how Jesus slowly freed me from the shame I thought would define me forever. If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualifies you, like you’ve messed up too badly, or like you’re trapped in a relationship you know isn’t healthy, I hope my story reminds you that you are never too far gone. There is freedom. There is healing. There are second chances. And your worst decision does not have to become your identity. God really can make beauty from ashes, and I’m so grateful I get to look back 10 years later and see just how much He has redeemed. In This Episode 05:35 How the Relationship Started 12:30 The Red Flags I Ignored 17:15 Our Breakup & the Decision I Regret 23:00 Shame, Purity & Feeling Trapped 29:35 How I Was Pressured Into Marriage 33:00 I Immediately Knew I Made a Mistake 38:45 Telling My Family & Getting Out 42:15 The Annulment & Leaving the Relationship 55:30 How God Healed & Redeemed My Story Thanks to Our Sponsors Better Help: This episode is sponsored by Better Help.

My Husband Opens Up About His Battle with ADHD and Medication… 08.09.2026 1saKaleb is back on the pod, and you guys… we covered A LOT 😂 We’re officially back home, law school year two is underway, and life honestly feels so much more peaceful and settled than it did this time last year. Kaleb opens up for the first time about having diagnosed ADHD, his experience taking medication, why he decided to step away from it for now, and the habits that have been helping him manage his days differently. We also talk about why there should be ZERO shame around getting the help you need, how sleep and scrolling affect us, and why we have officially decided that late-night marriage conversations are just… not it. 😂 Then, naturally, we get into some internet insanity: the girl who allegedly faked going to PA school for TWO YEARS, a fake NFL player scam, and the AI content taking over social media. We also talk about protecting your mind from constantly consuming darkness online, my desire to keep learning as a mom, and why sometimes you really do need to put the phone down, get outside, read your Bible, and guard what you're allowing into your spirit. So grab your drink and hang out with us! 🤎 In This Episode 00:56 - Life Updates & We’re Finally Back Home! 05:02 - Kaleb’s Second Year of Law School + Revealing His Grades 09:53 - The Nighttime Routine That Changed Everything 12:06 - Kaleb Opens Up About Having ADHD 17:29 - ADHD Medication, Side Effects & Feeling Shame 27:19 - Intelligence, Hard Work & How God Wired Us Differently 31:21 - Crazy Law School Cases + Protecting Yourself From Dark Content 38:59 - Learning as a Mom, Reading & Jeanine’s Seminary Dreams 43:59 - The Girl Who Faked Going to PA School for TWO YEARS?!

Why Being a Christian Feels Harder Than Ever Before…. I’m Worried 01.09.2026 45dkOkay you guys, I have THOUGHTS on this one. 😂 The Christian social media landscape has been feeling a little exhausting lately, and I think we need to talk about it. In this episode, I’m unpacking why Christianity can sometimes feel so complicated online when, in real life, following Jesus is meant to bring freedom, joy, peace, and transformation. Somewhere along the way, I think we’ve started confusing personal convictions with biblical commands, turning faith into a performance, and putting pressure on people to look like the “perfect Christian” before God has even had time to work in their hearts. We’re talking about everything from Christian comment sections and publicly correcting people to comparison, aesthetic quiet times, personal convictions, drinking, spiritual gifts, serving your community, and what Romans 14 actually says about disputable matters. God cares so much more about your heart than your perfectly curated Christian routine. His ways are not burdensome, and following Him was never supposed to be another exhausting performance. Let’s be people who care about truth AND grace, who lovingly point people back to Christ, and who trust the Holy Spirit to do the convicting only He can do. 🤍 Scriptures mentioned Philippians 2:12 Romans 2:4 Matthew 6:33 John 14 1 John 5:1–5 Romans 14 Thanks to Our Sponsors Grand Canyon University: Visit GCU.edu to learn more.

Things I Stopped Caring About in My 30s (And You Should Too) 25.08.2026 43dkOkay you guys, I’m 32, I’m a mom, and there are officially some things I simply do not care about anymore 😂 In this episode, I’m sharing the things I’ve slowly let go of as I’ve gotten older—from keeping up with every fashion trend and holding onto friendships I’ve outgrown, to having the “perfect” quiet time, knowing every piece of internet drama, and putting crazy pressure on myself with fitness and food. More than anything, I’ve realized how sweet life becomes when you stop living for everyone else’s approval and start slowing down enough to actually enjoy what God has given you. We talk about protecting your peace, choosing friendships that are faithful and life-giving, letting your relationship with Jesus be genuine instead of aesthetic, and embracing a healthier, more sustainable way of living. ‼️Check out my collab with Ponyflo‼️ Visit https: ponyflohats.com and use code JEANINE for 15% off!!

Stop Letting Your Emotions Run Your Life | Fruit of The Spirit Series: SELF CONTROL 21.08.2026 29dkTHE FINAL EPISODE IN OUR FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT SERIES! We made it!! In this episode, we explore self-control as a fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5:22–23. Self-control isn’t simply about trying harder or suppressing our desires—it’s about allowing the Holy Spirit to shape our thoughts, choices, words, emotions, and actions. We’ll talk about what biblical self-control looks like in everyday life, why it can be difficult, and how walking with the Spirit helps us respond with wisdom instead of being ruled by our impulses. In this episode, we discuss: What Galatians 5:22–23 teaches about self-control The difference between willpower and Spirit-led self-control How self-control impacts our words, emotions, relationships, and decisions Practical ways to grow in self-control Why surrender to God is at the heart of true self-control Key Scripture:“...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” — Galatians 5:22–23 Takeaway:Self-control isn’t about becoming strong enough to handle everything on our own. It’s about becoming surrendered enough to let the Holy Spirit lead us. Hope this helped y'all!! Buy my book Becoming Happy and Healthy -
Trusting Your Husband When You Don’t Agree With Him | Ft. My Sister & Brother-in-Law 18.08.2026 1sa 19dkYou guys, this episode is SO special because Kaleb and I are coming to you from Alaska with my sister Vania and brother-in-law Anthony! We finally get the full story of how these two met (including some hilarious old-school Facebook DMs 😂), but more importantly, we dive into the huge leap of faith that brought them all the way to Alaska. We talk about what happens when God asks you to do something that feels uncomfortable, inconvenient, or honestly just CRAZY. Vania shares so vulnerably about not wanting to move, learning to trust Anthony as her husband, praying for God to change her own heart, and eventually finding peace in a decision that initially terrified her. Anthony also shares such a powerful reminder: God doesn't always promise us clarity—but He does ask us to be faithful with what He's put in front of us. This conversation is such an encouragement if you're facing a big decision, navigating marriage when you and your spouse aren't immediately on the same page, wondering where God is leading you, or learning how to trust Him without having the entire plan laid out. Sometimes faithfulness really does look like taking the next step before you can see step ten. 🤍 ‼️Check out my collab with Ponyflo‼️ Visit https: ponyflohats.com and use code JEANINE for 15% off!!

Are You Actually a Gentle Person? You Might Be Surprised… | Fruit of the Spirit Series: GENTLENESS 14.08.2026 23dkWelcome back to Faith Friday!! We are almost done with this fruit of the Spirit series!!! hope y'all are loving it! In this episode, we explore the fruit of the Spirit: gentleness from Galatians 5:22–23. We’ll talk about what biblical gentleness really means, how Jesus modeled it, and what it looks like in our everyday relationships, conversations, and responses. Gentleness invites us to respond rather than react, to speak truth with love, and to treat others with grace even when emotions run high. It’s a quiet strength that reflects the character of Christ. In this episode, we’ll explore: What biblical gentleness actually means Why gentleness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit How Jesus demonstrated gentleness without compromising truth The difference between gentleness and weakness Practical ways to cultivate gentleness in our words, reactions, and relationships What it looks like to surrender our responses to the Holy Spirit Scripture: Galatians 5:22–23; Matthew 11:28–30 Reflection: Where might God be inviting you to replace a harsh reaction with a gentle response this week?

Things Christians Say That AREN’T Actually In The Bible 11.08.2026 33dkHave you ever heard a phrase so many times that you just assumed it was in the Bible? 🙋♀️ SAME. In today’s episode, Kaleb and I are breaking down some of the most common sayings Christians repeat that either aren’t actually in Scripture or are often taken wayyy out of context. We’re talking about everything from “God won’t give you more than you can handle” and “everything happens for a reason” to soulmates, money, Halloween, taking God’s name in vain, and more. We are definitely NOT claiming to be biblical scholars, and we’re totally open to being corrected, but our heart behind this conversation is to encourage all of us to actually know what the Word of God says instead of building our theology around something we heard on Instagram, from a friend, or even growing up in church. And as always, if we missed something or you disagree with one of our takes, let us know!

Answering Your Most Personal Questions: S*x After a Baby, In-Law Boundaries & Zyn 04.08.2026 47dkYou guys asked some tough questions and...we answered. We talk about criticism we've received online that actually helped us grow, our thoughts on nicotine pouches (Zyn), and why we believe anything that controls us deserves an honest look. We also share vulnerable moments from our marriage, including decisions we regret, lessons we've learned, and how God has faithfully met us through every season. We dive into navigating family boundaries after marriage, handling conflict with grace instead of pride, and why protecting your marriage while still honoring your family is so important. We also have an honest conversation about how having a baby changes marriage, intimacy, and priorities—and the practical ways we've tried to keep our relationship healthy while raising Duke.

Trusting God, Even When It’s Hard… | Fruit of the Spirit Series: Faithfulness 31.07.2026 27dkWhat does it actually mean to be faithful to God—especially when you’re waiting, discouraged, or life isn’t going according to plan? In this episode of our Fruit of the Spirit series, we’re talking about faithfulness and what the Bible teaches about trusting God in every season. We’ll unpack God’s faithfulness, how to stay consistent in your Christian faith when your feelings change, and why being faithful in the small things matters more than we realize. If you’ve been struggling to trust God, waiting for an answered prayer, or wanting to grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus, this episode will encourage you to keep showing up, keep obeying, and remember that God is faithful—even when you can’t see what He’s doing yet. Scriptures: Galatians 5:22–23, Lamentations 3:22–23, 2 Timothy 2:13, Romans 4:20–21, Daniel 6:10, Luke 16:10, Matthew 25:21, Galatians 6:9 Learn more about your ad choices.

We’re Struggling… 28.07.2026 49dkSome weeks, we have so much to say... and other weeks, we honestly don't know where to start. 🤍 This episode is one of those conversations where we just hit record and got real. We open up about feeling stuck, uninspired, and honestly just a little "off." Between law school starting back up, parenting, work, comparison, and the pressure to always be "on," we wanted to share what we're actually walking through instead of pretending everything is perfect. We talk about why chasing constant highs leaves us empty, how social media can distort reality, and the importance of checking in with ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We also share some of the small habits we're trying to build—putting our phones away before bed, reading more, spending intentional time with God, prioritizing community, and remembering that faithfulness often looks a lot more ordinary than exciting. If you've been feeling numb, discouraged, or like you're just going through the motions lately, we hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone. Sometimes the next right step isn't a huge life change—it's simply choosing faithfulness in the small things and trusting God in every season. ‼️Check out my collab with Ponyflo‼️ Visit https: ponyflohats.com and use code JEANINE for 15% off!!

What Society Gets Wrong About Being “Good”... | Fruit of the Spirit Series: GOODNESS 24.07.2026 26dkWelcome back to our Fruit of the Spirit series! 🌿 Today we're talking about goodness—one of the most misunderstood qualities in the Christian life. Our culture often tells us that being a "good person" means being nice, avoiding major mistakes, or simply being better than those around us. But the Bible paints a much deeper picture. In this episode, we explore what it truly means that God is good, why He alone is the standard of goodness, and how the Holy Spirit produces genuine goodness in the lives of believers. We'll look at how goodness is more than moral behavior—it's holiness in action, flowing from a transformed heart that desires to reflect Christ and bless others. We'll also unpack the difference between being nice and being good, why goodness sometimes requires speaking difficult truth in love, and how spending time with Jesus transforms our hearts to look more like His. If you've ever wondered what biblical goodness really looks like—or if you've struggled to reconcile God's goodness with the brokenness of our world—this episode is for you. Why only God is truly good (Luke 18:19) What God's goodness tells us about His character Why God's plans are always good—even in suffering The goodness of God throughout creation and Scripture Why evil exists if God is good What the Fruit of the Spirit means by "goodness" The Greek word agathosune and why it matters The difference between being nice and being good Practical ways to grow in goodness through the Holy Spirit A challenge to reflect God's goodness in everyday life Buy my book Becoming Happy and Healthy -
7 Things That Will Make or Break Your Marriage 21.07.2026 51dkRelationships are struggling more than ever, and I honestly believe a lot of what culture tells us about love and marriage is leading us in the wrong direction. In this episode, I'm sharing some of the biggest reasons I think relationships fail today—from comparing ourselves to social media, to expecting marriage to fulfill us, to letting outside voices influence our relationships more than God's Word. I also talk about what the Bible says about marriage, why prayer and community matter so much, how comparison steals joy, and practical ways to build a marriage that actually lasts. Whether you're single, dating, engaged, or married, my hope is that this conversation encourages you to pursue God's design for relationships over the world's. ‼️Check out my collab with Ponyflo!

You’re Probably Not as Kind as You Think | Fruit of the Spirit Series Ep 5. KINDNESS 17.07.2026 31dkKindness is more than being nice—and it’s definitely not weakness. In this episode of our Fruit of the Spirit series, we’re diving into what biblical kindness really looks like and how the kindness of God should transform the way we treat the people around us. We talk about the difference between kindness and people-pleasing, why kindness sometimes requires telling the truth, how to respond when people are difficult to love, and why the people closest to us should experience our kindness too. We also unpack how Jesus modeled kindness without compromising truth or boundaries—and how small, intentional acts of kindness can have a much bigger impact than we realize. If you want to become more like Jesus in the way you speak, respond, love, and serve others, this episode is for you. In this episode, we talk about: What biblical kindness actually means Why God’s kindness is the foundation for our kindness The difference between being kind and being “nice” Showing kindness when it’s inconvenient or undeserved How our words and tone can reflect Jesus Why kindness doesn’t mean having no boundaries Being kind without expecting anything in return Practical ways to intentionally choose kindness every day Key Scriptures: Galatians 5:22–23, Romans 2:4, Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:12, Luke 6:35, Proverbs 31:26 PREORDER MY NEW DEVOTIONAL - The Abiding Way, Out 10.27.26!!

Our Parenting Hot Takes: Spankings, Homeschooling, iPads, & Gentle Parenting 14.07.2026 1saThis week, Kaleb and I are diving into turbulent waters and talking parenting. 😅 We're sharing our current thoughts (emphasis on current!) about homeschooling vs. public school, gentle parenting, discipline, spanking, and all the things we've been learning now that we're parents ourselves. We definitely don't have all the answers, and we're the first to admit that these opinions could change as Duke grows. Our hope isn't to convince anyone that our way is the only way, but to have an honest conversation about what we're wrestling through, what we've learned from our own childhoods, and why we believe parenting starts with grace, communication, and pointing our kids to Jesus. We also chat about my new Ponyflo hat collection (finally!!), screen time, and why parenting has made us apologize to every parent we ever judged. 😂 ‼️Check out my colab with Ponyflo!

An Uncomfortable Conversation On Botox and Filler… & Why I Removed Mine 07.07.2026 56dkHave you ever wondered what God thinks about Botox, fillers, or cosmetic procedures? In today's episode, I'm sharing my personal journey with chin filler, why I ultimately decided to dissolve it, and how God used that experience to challenge my heart. We'll talk through the pros, the cons, and what Scripture says about beauty, identity, comparison, and contentment. This isn't an episode meant to shame anyone. Instead, my hope is that we learn how to bring every decision—even cosmetic ones—before the Lord and ask the deeper questions about our motives and where we're finding our worth. Whether you've had Botox, are considering cosmetic procedures, or simply wrestle with comparison and beauty standards, I hope this conversation encourages you to root your identity in Christ above all else.

Why The World Cup is Changing America’s Reputation & The Brain Rot of Love Island 30.06.2026 49dkToday's episode is basically us sitting down and shooting the sheesh 😂 We’re talking all about the FIFA World Cup, why it unexpectedly gave us so much hope, and how meeting people from all over the world reminded us that we probably have way more in common than we think. We also dive into our recent Toy Story marathon (yes... Kaleb might officially be becoming a Disney adult 😂), why movies don't feel the same anymore, and this strange feeling that our generation is constantly chasing nostalgia. From malls and movie theaters to VHS tapes and Saturday morning cartoons—we're unpacking why those memories still hit so deeply. We also share our thoughts on today's media, reality TV, Love Island, social media, and how what we consume really does shape our hearts, minds, and relationships. As Christians, we want to be intentional about protecting our peace, raising our future kids well, and remembering that even when we disagree with people, we're still called to love our neighbors. Whether you're here for World Cup stories, Toy Story nostalgia, or just a fun conversation about culture and faith, we're so glad you're hanging out with us today. 🤍 PRE-ORDER MY BOOK ABIDING WAY NOW!

Why Is God Making Me Wait? Fruit of The Spirit ep. 4 PATIENCE 26.06.2026 34dkWaiting is one of the hardest parts of following Jesus—but it’s also one of the places where God does His deepest work. In this episode of our Fruit of the Spirit series, we’re talking about patience—not as passive waiting, but as active trust in God’s perfect timing. Whether you’re waiting for healing, a relationship, answered prayers, direction, or a breakthrough, this conversation is for you. We’ll walk through what biblical patience really means, why waiting can feel so difficult, and how God used seasons of waiting to shape some of the most influential people in Scripture—including Abraham, Joseph, David, Moses, Hannah, Job, and even Jesus. If you’ve ever wondered why God seems silent or why His timing doesn’t match yours, I pray this episode encourages you to trust that He is still working—even when you can’t see it. Because waiting on God is never wasted. In This Episode: What the Fruit of the Spirit teaches about patience The biblical meaning of patience (makrothymia) Why God often grows us through waiting What impatience reveals about our hearts Lessons from Abraham, Joseph, David, Moses, Hannah, Job, and Jesus How to grow in patience during difficult seasons Encouragement for anyone waiting on God today Key Scriptures: Galatians 5:22–23 James 1:2–4 Romans 5:3–5 Romans 8:25 Isaiah 40:31 Psalm 27:14 Lamentations 3:25–26 Hebrews 6:15 Ephesians 4:2 Colossians 3:12 Psalm 37:7 2 Peter 3:9 If this episode encouraged you, be sure to share it with a friend who may be in a season of waiting.

The Secret to Real Peace (It's Not What You Think) | Fruit of The Spirit Ep. 3 PEACE 19.06.2026 32dkIn this episode of our Fruit of the Spirit series, we're talking about peace—what it is, where it comes from, and why so many of us struggle to experience it. The world tells us peace comes from having the right circumstances, enough money, a perfect schedule, or freedom from stress. But the Bible offers a very different picture. Biblical peace isn't the absence of problems—it's the presence of God in the middle of them. We explore the meaning of the Hebrew word shalom and the Greek word eirēnē, discuss the difference between worldly peace and God's peace, and look at what Scripture teaches about living with confidence, rest, and trust in Christ even when life feels uncertain. Whether you're battling anxiety, walking through a difficult season, or simply longing for more peace in your everyday life, this conversation will encourage you to fix your eyes on the One who is our peace. What peace actually means in the Bible The difference between worldly peace and biblical peace Why peace is a Fruit of the Spirit How anxiety and peace compete for our attention What Jesus promised about peace in John 14 and John 16 How prayer unlocks peace according to Philippians 4 Why peace is found in surrender, not control Practical ways to cultivate peace in your daily life Galatians 5:22–23 Isaiah 26:3 John 14:27 John 16:33 Romans 5:1 Philippians 4:6–7 Colossians 3:15 Ephesians 2:14 "The world defines peace as the absence of conflict. The Bible defines peace as the presence of God." What is stealing your peace right now—and have you surrendered it to God? 🎙️ Be sure to subscribe and follow along as we continue our Fruit of the Spirit series exploring how the Holy Spirit transforms our lives from the inside out.
