    129 | Why Sleep Deprivation is More Than Being Tired – My Story

    Sleep deprivation is more than just being tired—it’s often a sign that peace has been quietly disrupted.

     

    In this deeply personal episode, I share how sleepless nights slowly turned into fear, confusion, and exhaustion, and why sleep deprivation is often connected to something deeper happening in our hearts and minds. What started as a few rough nights became ongoing unrest, even after trying everything to sleep and relax.

     

    I talk about the spiritual side of sleep deprivation, how peace can be stolen without us realizing it, and how prayer, Scripture, worship, and learning to stand in spiritual authority became the turning point that restored my rest. This episode invites you into a gentle space of Christian night prayer and faith-centered sleep meditation—helping you calm your mind, release anxiety, and relax into God’s peace.

     

    If your thoughts won’t quiet at night, your sleep doesn’t feel restorative, or exhaustion won’t lift, this episode is an invitation to let Jesus restore what’s been stolen.

     

    He is the Prince of Peace—and sweet sleep is still possible. 🤍

    130 | Exhaustion Is Stealing Your Peace — Here’s How to Take It Back

    Exhaustion doesn’t always show up loud—but it often shows up first through sleep deprivation and nights that no longer feel restful.

     

    In this episode, I talk about how spiritual attack can be subtle, revealing itself through exhaustion that won’t lift, sleep that doesn’t restore, and peace slowly slipping away. If you’re struggling to relax at night or your mind won’t quiet, Scripture shows us that peace has been challenged—and that matters more than we realize.

     

    I walk through key Bible verses to explain why sleeplessness isn’t just physical, why unrest and exhaustion shouldn’t be normalized, and how Jesus has already given you peace. I also introduce the biblical foundation for taking your peace back, starting with Philippians 4:6–7, and how Christian night prayer and gentle, Scripture-led sleep meditation help calm the mind and restore rest.

     

    If you’re tired, restless, and wondering why your nights feel heavy, this episode is an invitation to stop striving, recognize what’s really happening, and begin reclaiming the peace—and sleep—that belong to you.

     

    Sweet dreams. 🤍

    128 | New Season: Why Rest is More Than Sleep for Exhausted Women

    In this episode, I introduce a new season of Sweet Sleep with Jesus and share why rest is more than sleep—especially for exhausted women dealing with sleep deprivation, nighttime anxiety, racing thoughts, and chronic restlessness.

     

    I explore the spiritual root of exhaustion, why the real battle for rest often happens at night, and why peace—not willpower, routines, or trying harder—is the key to restoring rest. We talk honestly about why sleeplessness isn’t a personal failure, how peace can be stolen, and how leaning on Jesus through prayer, Scripture, and gentle Christian sleep meditation helps you relax your mind and experience calm, restorative sleep again.

     

    This season is for women who are tired of striving and ready to embrace emotional peace, spiritual rest, and night prayer as a pathway to deeper, more consistent sleep.

    #126: Are we STILL saying this in 2025?!?!

    In this podcast episode of 'Take A Shot! with Emem Joy Emah,' I emphasize the importance of recognizing and avoiding unhealthy leadership and protection dynamics. I discuss three major red flags: the idea that any human can be our law instead of God, the misconception that leadership equates to dictatorship rather than servanthood, and the confusion between control and genuine protection. Using Biblical references, I explain why Jesus is the ideal model for leadership and protection and invite listeners to share additional red flags they notice. Join the conversation and learn why a true leader seeks to serve and protect, not manipulate and control.00:00 A Call to Action00:29 Understanding God's Sacrifice02:39 Identifying Red Flags04:00 Red Flag 1: No Man is Your Law05:03 Red Flag 2: Leadership is Servanthood07:18 Red Flag 3: Protection Equals Safety09:02 Conclusion: Reflect and Comment09:52 Closing Remarks and Podcast Promotion

    #125: God helped me stop bleaching my skin and showed me my beauty

    In this heartfelt episode, I share my deeply personal journey of overcoming an addiction to skin lightening. Growing up in an environment where my skin was not celebrated and often criticized, I struggled with self-acceptance. The turning point came when I built a relationship with God and started seeing myself through His eyes. By surrounding myself with positive influences and meditating on God's word, I learned to love my natural brown skin. I hope my story encourages anyone who struggles with self-image and reminds you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
