    ------------------------------------------------------

    If you've ever wondered how to hear God's voice, you're not alone. Many Christians ask, Does God still speak today? How do I know it's really Him? Can I teach my kids to hear God's voice too? In this episode of Java with Jen, Pastor Jenilee Samuel sits down with Heather O'Brien to explore practical, biblical ways to hear God's voice, grow in spiritual discernment, and deepen your relationship with Jesus—without making it weird.

    Heather didn't begin learning to hear God's voice until she was 30 years old, despite following Jesus since childhood. What started as simple curiosity became the pathway God used to bring healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, and a deeper revelation of His love.

    Together, Jenilee and Heather share five unexpected, practical activations that have helped them grow in recognizing God's voice. You'll hear why journaling can become a conversation with God, how asking for a simple word or Scripture each day builds spiritual sensitivity, why immediate confirmation can strengthen your faith, and even how one family learned to practice hearing God's voice while playing games together.


    In this episode, you'll learn:

    They also dive into questions many believers wrestle with:

    • How do you know it's really God's voice and not your own thoughts?
    • Does God still speak through dreams and visions today?
    • Can children hear God's voice?
    • Is it okay to ask God for confirmation?
    • What if you've followed Jesus for years but have never recognized His voice?

    Whether you're brand new to this journey or you've been pursuing God's voice for years, this conversation will encourage you to approach Him with childlike faith, expectancy, and confidence that He still speaks to His children today.

    • Why hearing God's voice is available to every believer—not just pastors or prophets.
    • Five simple activations to help you grow in hearing God more clearly.
    • How journaling can become a conversation with the Holy Spirit.
    • Practical ways to teach your children to recognize God's voice.
    • How God speaks through dreams, visions, Scripture, impressions, and everyday life.
    • The importance of discernment when interpreting dreams.
    • Why asking God for confirmation can strengthen your faith.
    • How words of knowledge often begin with simple encouragement.
    • A powerful daily exercise you can start today to increase your sensitivity to God's leading.
    • Why God's first words are often reminders of His love.

    You Are NOT Failing: How to Step Into Your Calling When You're Scared

    HOST SWAP: Enjoy this interview where I was the guest on Kathryn May's podcast "Free to Lead", where we discussed following God into obedience even when you're scared. It may feel like failure, but it's probably radical obedience.


    The "Next Best Step" Strategy to Finding Your Calling


    Many of us feel stuck because we are waiting for a clear map, but God often reveals the path one step at a time. In this episode, we break down why fear keeps us paralyzed and how to move from waiting to taking the immediate next step in your purpose.


    Key Talking Points & Main Themes:


    Overcoming Fear and Inaction:

    Fear is the primary barrier to your purpose. We discuss why many of us "idolize clarity" as a way to avoid the risks of taking action, and how the parable of the talents reminds us to steward our gifts rather than bury them.


    Taking the Next Best Step:

    • You don't need a ten-year plan to start. Jenilee shares her experience starting a podcast without a traditional platform, trusting God to order her steps as she moved.


    • Podcasting as Ministry and Business:

    How to use media to multiply your message. We discuss how a podcast can serve as an outlet for your calling, reach a global audience, and provide opportunities for authors and speakers to make an impact.


    • Hearing God's Voice Daily:

    Discover how to discern God's voice in everyday life. We discuss why hearing Him is often a process of learning to recognize His gentle promptings through conversation and asking questions.


    The Power of Your "Yes": Stepping into your calling requires saying "yes" to God before you feel ready. Learn how consistent, small acts of obedience lead to doors opening that you never could have opened yourself.


    Boundaries for Spiritual Freedom: How to prioritize family, ministry, and business. We explore setting boundaries as a way to find alignment and freedom rather than burnout.


    Impact Over Income: Why focusing on Kingdom impact is the most reliable way to build a sustainable life and business. Learn how to trust that God will provide when you focus on serving others.

    Denise Renner joins me for a powerful conversation on identity, marriage, and the transformative power of hearing God's voice, even when you feel you've lost yourself. We dive deep into the real-world struggles Christian wives face and how to find true freedom and purpose in Christ.


    💡 Episode Highlights

    In this episode, we explore how to break free from the trap of hiding behind your spouse and instead embrace the unique gifts God has given you. We discuss the necessity of trusting God's leading in your life and marriage, even when the path is challenging or unexpected. You’ll learn how to navigate difficult marital dynamics by speaking truth in love and relying on the Holy Spirit’s guidance, rather than falling into the "nag" trap.

    Denise unpacks the core message of her book, "Who Stole Cinderella?", and shares how a wise woman can build a beautiful, godly house by focusing on her own walk with the Lord. We also cover the critical importance of forgiveness—not as a suggestion, but as a command to pursue peace—and how one spouse can truly change the trajectory of a marriage. Finally, we share practical steps to foster a healthier, more thankful relationship by actively speaking life into your marriage and your spouse.


    🎯 Key Talking Points

    • Finding Your Identity in Christ: Why you must embrace your God-given callings rather than hiding in the shadow of your spouse.
    • How to Hear God's Voice Daily: The fruit that comes from surrendering to God’s direction, even when it’s not what you expected.
    • Biblical Marriage Advice for Wives: How to speak truth in love and challenge unhealthy behavior without becoming a "nag."
    • Overcoming Christian Marriage Struggles: Taking responsibility for your own spiritual growth to build up your home.
    • Healing from Marriage Hurt: Why pursuing peace is a daily, active commitment to freedom through forgiveness.
    • Achieving Spiritual Freedom: Understanding that boundaries and being "bold on the inside" can be godly, wise, and necessary.
    • Strengthening Your Christian Marriage: How your gratitude and godly influence can empower your husband to be a better man.

    Are Weight Loss & Hearing God Connected? The Secret Link Behind Self-Sabotage | Mindset Coach Eryn Kubinski | 298

    I know what you’re thinking—what do hearing god's voice and christian weight loss challenges have to do with each other?

    Honestly, that’s exactly what I thought too, until I realized the same key has the power to unlock both doors. It’s not just about what you’re eating; it’s about the food noise and mental static preventing you from true spiritual clarity.


    In this episode, I’m joined by mental fitness coach Eryn Kubinski to uncover the hidden connection between self-sabotage, physical health, and your walk with Christ.


    We dive deep into how rewiring your thought patterns—your mental fitness—is the secret to breaking cycles of emotional eating and finally opening up the space to hear God clearly.

    This is a radical look at spiritual warfare and how prioritizing your christian mental health is essential to experiencing the freedom God has for you body, soul AND spirit.

    Key Talking Points

    • The Mental Fitness Connection: Why the same patterns that lead to weight loss stagnation are often blocking your ability to discern the voice of god.
    • Identifying the Sabotage: How to spot the root of self-sabotage that keeps you stuck in cycles of guilt, shame, and overeating.
    • Quieting the Noise: Practical, biblical weight loss strategy to silence food noise and create the mental quiet needed for hearing god clearly.
    • Rewiring for Transformation: Moving from negative thought patterns to discernment—the foundation for christian fitness and lasting transformation.
    • The Spiritual Root: Why addressing your thoughts as part of your spiritual warfare strategy changes everything about your relationship with food and faith.

    God WANTS to Use FLAWED Moms: What the Bible Teaches About Christian Parenting | Rhonda Stoppe "Moms of the Bible" | Ep. 296

    Are you secretly afraid you've already messed up your kids?

    Rhonda Stoppe, author of Moms of the Bible, sits down with Jen to unpack why Christian moms carry so much guilt — and what God actually says about flawed, broken, faithful motherhood. Spoiler: He didn't just tolerate your mess. He chose it.

    From Rebecca's manipulation to Jochebed's terrifying faith, Rhonda walks us through real biblical women who were imperfect, afraid, and still used by God to shape history.

    In this episode:✔ Why mom guilt is a spiritual attack — not just a feeling✔ The dangerous "perfect mom" image God never asked you to live up to✔ What Rebecca's story teaches us about unchecked imagination in parenting✔ How your trials are forming your children's faith (even when it's hard)✔ Jochebed's radical act of letting go — and what it means for you today✔ Why prayerlessness is sinning against your children✔ The one question every Christian mom needs to ask: Am I raising them for God's glory — or mine?

    "God called us to this ministry of motherhood. He calls broken people to do extraordinary things through our ordinary lives." — Rhonda Stoppe
