In this episode, Jaime and Alana take a 180-degree and head straight to Broadway. They dive into the concept of the musical theater "I want" song, using Tevye's famous track "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof as a surprisingly profound template for prayer. They discuss the danger of censoring our conversations with God, the freedom of bringing our most "frivolous" desires to Him, and how peeling back the layers of wanting money or status often reveals a pure, God-given need for security, respect, or peace.

Alana highlights how teaching middle schoolers about Disney character motivations led her to realize that every superficial desire has a deeper "prayer behind the prayer." Meanwhile, Jaime gets remarkably candid about a recent camping trip, unpacking her own guilt over wanting to look good in a swimsuit and tracing it down to a beautiful, core desire to remain healthy, strong, and capable of caring for her family.

Along the way, they swap practical wisdom on stripping away the "judgy Christian hat" that shames women for wanting a financial cushion, beautiful spaces, or basic human respect. From the reality of a mother's innate drive to provide, to Tevye's ultimate wish for simply having the time to sit and pray, they offer a refreshing perspective on approaching God exactly as you are—without pretending to be someone you aren't.

Whether you are stressing over your bank account, feeling guilty for caring about your appearance, or simply longing for a more conversational, authentic relationship with the Lord, we hope this episode encourages you to stop editing your prayers, uncover the true desires of your heart, and confidently bring your uncensored self to the Father.

Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for an inspiring devotional on Psalm 68, a triumphant and powerful psalm that celebrates the unmatched bigness of God and reminds us that no earthly enemy or obstacle stands a chance against Him.

Jaime unpacks the subtle lies of the enemy that convince us our difficulties are either too monumental to conquer or too unspiritual for God's attention. Likening our burdens to fragile idols, she discusses how easily our biggest fears can be visualized as thick smoke blown away by the wind, or as little wax figurines melting away in the radiant, burning presence of the Almighty. Sharing her own transparent reflections as a parent, Jaime encourages us to intentionally bring every sorrow, question, and workplace complaint to a loving Heavenly Father who never measures or dismisses our pain.

Just as the ancient world looked to the towering, imposing peaks of Mount Bashan—a symbol of spiritual rebellion—we are reminded that God often works in an "upside-down kingdom." He chose the humbler, smaller mountain of Zion for His holy abode, proving that our blessings and His presence don't rely on human definitions of greatness.

Come ready to evaluate your own spiritual burdens—the deeply personal pain, the exhausting situational frustrations, and the looming giants standing in your way. Let this episode remind you that God is always waiting with open arms to carry your heavy load and give rest to the weary. Because He is a victorious God who rides through the deserts, who acts as a father to the fatherless, and whose immense power can melt away even the most intimidating strongholds in our lives.

What happens when the relentless treadmill of busyness slowly crimps your connection to the True Vine?

Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a candid devotional on Psalm 67, a brief but powerful psalm that celebrates God's heart for every tribe and nation, and reminds us of our calling to reflect His glory to the ends of the earth.

Jaime unpacks the subtle, spiritual dangers of our fast-paced, technology-driven world, exploring the uncomfortable reality that 'busyness' can become an idol that drains our energy and starves our souls. Likening our spiritual health to a wind-whipped grapevine, she discusses how easily we can become "crimped" and withered without even realizing we've been disconnected from our life source. Sharing her own transparent struggles with slowing down,

Jaime encourages us to intentionally step off the daily grind and carve out sacred, meditative white space for God's Word. Just as the ancient Israelites were blessed so that all the earth might revere Him, we are reminded that our blessings—and our connection to the local body of Christ—are never meant to be kept in a self-contained survival pod, but poured out to bless the world.

Come ready to evaluate your own spiritual branches—the places of hidden withering, the exhausting routines, and the moments when reading the Bible feels more like a chore than a lifeline. Let this episode remind you that God is always waiting with open arms to breathe fresh life into your fading embers. Because He is a gracious God whose face shines upon us, who guides the nations on the earth, and whose presence can revive even the driest, crunchiest parts of our faith.

Church hurt is something almost no one survives decades in the church without experiencing.
In this special joint episode of Praying Christian Women and Christian True Crime Junkies, Alana and Jaime have an honest, unscripted conversation about church scandal, spiritual abuse, and how to heal your faith when a pastor's moral failure—or a church's cover-up—leaves you wounded, even when you were far removed from where it happened.

Together they unpack why a pastor's affair can trigger a faith crisis in people who left the church years ago, why victims of clergy abuse are so often shunned while fallen leaders get protected, and what Gayle Haggard's memoir Why I Stayed reveals about loving the families caught in the wreckage. They get honest about the spectrum between a consensual affair and predatory abuse, why narcissists are so often drawn to ministry and church leadership, and the pattern of institutional and denominational failures—and cover-ups—that keeps surfacing across churches of every stripe.

Alana also shares her hard-won take on spiritual "premonitions"—the God-given instinct that something is off—and why she believes those warnings are a call to pray, not proof you failed to act. Grounded in Ezekiel 34:2, the conversation lands on a grace-filled but clear-eyed question every church faces: how do we protect the flock from spiritual abuse while still extending real grace to imperfect people?

Whether you're walking through church hurt right now, rebuilding after spiritual abuse, quietly deconstructing, or simply want to guard your heart against cynicism and bitterness, we hope this episode helps you grieve honestly, stay connected to God, and hold grace and wisdom in the very same hand.

In this episode, Jaime and Alana dive into the nuanced—and sometimes confusing—topic of modern “witchy” trends, New Age language seeping into Christian self-help, and the age-old practice of seeking signs. They discuss the critical difference between earnestly seeking God’s guidance and relying on spiritual shortcuts or omens, exploring how to tease out what is biblical, what is evil, and what falls somewhere in between.

Alana highlights the concept of “plundering the Egyptians”—taking what is useful from secular tools without adopting their faulty foundations—while warning against attributing divine power to our own subconscious desires. Meanwhile, Jaime opens up about the tension of making agonizing parenting decisions with her husband, Matt, and takes a deep dive into the biblical story of Gideon’s fleece. She questions whether Gideon’s demands were a wise test or a lack of faith, ultimately suggesting that God was simply meeting Gideon where he was, rather than providing a universal instruction manual for our own decisions.

Along the way, they swap practical wisdom on navigating the gray areas of modern Christian discernment. From the surprisingly grounded trick of flipping a coin—not to let chance decide, but to bypass people-pleasing tendencies and reveal your true, underlying desires—to an honest look at historical practices like casting lots and "Bible roulette," they offer a discerning yet grace-filled perspective. They emphasize that with the Holy Spirit and the Bible, we already have exactly what we need to seek God's will, warning against the temptation to treat scripture like a Ouija board.

Whether you are wrestling with a major life decision, trying to untangle cultural self-help from biblical truth, or simply need a reminder to listen to God's voice without demanding a supernatural sign, we hope this episode encourages you to lead with prayerful discernment, intentionality, and confident grace.

What do you do when the path to true abundance takes you directly through the fire and the flood?

Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 66 — Praise for God's Mighty Deeds and His Answer to Prayer — a psalm of profound remembrance that celebrates God as both our miraculous rescuer and our master refiner.

Jaime unpacks the challenging, yet beautiful tension found in this passage, exploring the uncomfortable reality that sometimes God purposefully brings His people "into the net." Likening our deepest trials to the precise, careful process of refining silver, she discusses how the heat of our circumstances is used to draw out impurities—never to consume us, but to purify us. Sharing her candid reflections on the difference between suffering the natural consequences of a fallen world versus enduring a purposeful season of testing, Jaime encourages us to set up "Ebenezer" monuments of memory. Just as God turned the sea into dry land for the Israelites, we can look back on His unmistakable past faithfulness to find the courage to trust Him today.

Come ready to look at your own current struggles—the places of pain, the feeling of being trapped, and the moments when you aren't entirely sure why you're suffering. Let this psalm remind you that your pain is never wasted and that you can borrow the psalmist's faith when your own feels weak. Because He is a God who eventually brings us out into a place of abundance, who listens to the cries of our hearts, and who will never turn away your prayer or withhold His lovingkindness from you.

In this episode, Jaime and Alana dive into the nuanced—and sometimes controversial—topic of navigating Halloween, fantasy media, and cultural traditions as Christians. They discuss the critical difference between setting healthy spiritual boundaries and letting “religious default settings” or fear-based superstition dictate our choices, exploring why treating pop culture with extreme suspicion can sometimes do more harm than good.

Alana highlights the historical weaponization of the word “witch” by old-school religious establishments to silence women and control spiritual independence, sparking a deeper conversation about how we label things as “evil” without thoughtful examination. Meanwhile, she opens up about her own attempt to watch Harry Potter as an adult and the surprising “nocebo” effect—how deeply ingrained beliefs that something is spiritually dangerous can trigger real spiritual and emotional unease—showing how our upbringing can shape our reactions even when we intellectually know better. Jaime shares her evolving perspective on allowing her children to engage with the series, moving from a more permissive stance to a greater awareness of potential spiritual “open doors,” while still rejecting blanket outrage in favor of Holy Spirit-led discernment.

Along the way, they swap practical wisdom on navigating the gray areas of modern Christian parenting and culture. From the beautiful analogy of treating young children like delicate seedlings that need extra protection while older ones must develop resilience through measured exposure, to an eye-opening experience at an Alaska Native Heritage Center, to their kids’ own self-censoring decisions with Percy Jackson and Coco, they offer a discerning yet grace-filled perspective. They emphasize the importance of teaching our children how to think biblically for themselves rather than simply handing down rigid rules, and they guard against the easy temptation to judge other believers who reach different conclusions.

Whether you are wrestling with what media to allow in your home, trying to break free from the fear-based religious environment you grew up in, or simply need a reminder to seek God’s specific wisdom for your family instead of defaulting to either permissiveness or paranoia, we hope this episode encourages you to lead with prayerful discernment, intentionality, and confident grace.

Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 65 — God’s Abundant Favor to Earth and Man — a psalm that speaks directly to the spiritual battle for our loyalty and the revolutionary goodness of the one true God.

Jaime unpacks the rich historical and geographical context of this beautiful passage, revealing that it is far more than just a simple harvest celebration. Instead, she explores its powerful original purpose: a bold, spiritual assault on the false Canaanite god, Baal. While the ancient world was ruled by the fear of bloodthirsty, territorial deities who demanded horrific sacrifices in exchange for rain and crops, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob revealed Himself as a completely different kind of ruler—a loving Father who provides not because of what we do, but because of who He is.

Even today, when we are surrounded by a culture that tempts us to fill our voids with modern-day idols and fleeting comforts, God remains the ultimate authority over the chaos. He is the One who truly establishes the mountains, stills the roaring seas, and crowns the year with His bounty. When the world demands constant noise and striving, God gently invites us into His courts, showing us that even our awestruck, still silence can be a profoundly effective form of praise.

Come ready to lay down the earthly vices you’ve been clinging to and confront the ways the enemy tries to veil your spiritual eyes. Let this psalm remind you of the stark contrast between the exhausting demands of this world and the boundless grace of the Creator. Because He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, you don't have to look anywhere else to find your ultimate satisfaction, and you can confidently join all of creation in shouting for joy.

What happens when our desire for spiritual answers crosses the line into trying to control outcomes apart from God?

In this episode, Jaime and Alana dive into the fascinating—and somewhat controversial—topic of WITCHCRAFT within the church, specifically exploring how certain types of "prayer" might actually be rebellion in disguise. They discuss the critical difference between surrendering to God’s power and trying to manipulate our own destinies, the dangers of seeking hidden knowledge, and why praying to angels or treating manifestation as a spiritual shortcut crosses a firm scriptural boundary.

Alana highlights the historical weaponization of the word "witch" against spiritually independent women, sparking a deeper conversation about how the fear of overstepping can actually paralyze us and keep our prayers small. Meanwhile, Jaime opens up about a time she unintentionally put a spiritual mentor on a pedestal, relying on her almost like a medium to hear from God, illustrating how easily our hearts can slip into unhealthy reliance even with the best intentions.

Along the way, they swap practical wisdom on navigating the gray areas of modern Christian culture. From the absurdity of spiritual charlatans who farm Facebook profiles for "prophetic words" to the harmless family tradition of reading restaurant fortune cookies, they offer a discerning yet grace-filled perspective on setting healthy boundaries without becoming paralyzed by fear or religious superstition.

Whether you are worried about overstepping in your prayer life, struggling with the urge to forcefully "manifest" your desires, or simply need a reminder that God wants you to pray boldly in His power rather than your own, we hope this episode encourages you to examine your heart, expect God's guidance, and confidently approach His throne of grace.

In this episode, Jaime and Alana dive into the fascinating concept of self-fulfilling prophecies and how our internal narratives—whether positive or negative—can deeply impact our daily lives, our mindsets, and even our prayer habits. They discuss why anticipating failure often guarantees it, and how expecting God to move can open our eyes to His limitless possibilities.

Alana shares a hilarious and humbling story about mistaking the brain fog of a severe dairy intolerance for spiritual persecution while trying to memorize the Bible, reminding us of the dangers of confirmation bias and Christian superstition. Jaime shares an insightful story about her son's hockey practice, illustrating how breaking past mental limits can open the door to new achievements, and how she intentionally rewrote her own narrative about being "bad with names."

Along the way, they swap practical wisdom on the power of the words we speak over ourselves and others. From rethinking the unintentional "curses" we accidentally speak over our children at the playground to examining the widespread myth that praying for patience automatically invites tragedy, they offer a refreshing, grace-filled perspective on setting our expectations.

Whether you are battling a habit of negative self-talk, limiting God with small prayers, or simply need a gentle reminder to stop bracing for the worst, we hope this episode encourages you to rewrite your internal narratives, expect God's goodness, and boldly step into the calling He has for you.

What do you do when justice feels hopelessly out of reach — when hidden evil goes unpunished and the truth seems buried?

Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 64 — Prayer for Deliverance from Secret Enemies — a psalm that speaks directly to the frustration, anger, and dread we feel when injustice seems to be winning, and enemies are laying secret snares with bitter words.

Jaime unpacks the heavy emotional toll of watching people get away with evil, and the lie that we must simply wait for eternity to see things made right. Instead, she explores a powerful cosmic reality: God doesn't exist on our finite earthly timeline. He is the great “I AM,” not “I will be.” Even when hidden traps aren't exposed in our space-time continuum, God is already at work in the spiritual realm. When the enemy aims bitter speech like a weapon, God is ready to shoot His own arrow, turning secret plots upside down and bringing the darkness into the light.

Come ready to lay down your honest complaints and confront the anxiety that comes from picturing a dreaded future without God in it. Let this psalm remind you of the profound power of two simple words: “But God.” Because He is a God of justice here and now, you don't have to wait to experience His goodness, and you can confidently take refuge in Him while declaring His mighty works.

In Part 2 of their conversation on Scripture Memorization, Jaime and Alana tackle the mental blocks, perfectionism, and daily distractions that often keep us from hiding God's Word in our hearts.

They discuss why getting an "80%" on a memory verse is infinitely better than never opening your Bible, and why the simple act of slowing down to absorb Scripture is a valuable spiritual practice in itself—even if you forget the exact words a few weeks later.

Alana opens up with a deeply personal testimony about a grueling season in college when the stress of her studies caused her to lose her ability to recall Scripture completely, and how God graciously restored that gift during a profound moment on a mission trip to Russia. Jaime shares a beautiful story about how a specific passage in Matthew ministered to her teenage son's doubts, proving that the Holy Spirit can bring the Word to mind exactly when it is needed.

Along the way, they swap practical, everyday tools for getting verses to stick when your adult brain feels a little too full. From using dry-erase boards and acronyms to incorporating sign language and leaning into the undeniable staying power of catchy children's Sunday school songs, they offer realistic ways to make memorization work for you.

Whether you are battling the friction of an overwhelmed mind, wondering which passage to pick first, or simply need a gentle reminder that your spiritual gifts are a daily grace to be stewarded, we hope this episode encourages you to embrace the beautiful, imperfect process of knowing God through His Word.

What do you do when God says “Leave” — calling you out of your safe stronghold into the open wilderness?

Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 63 — The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God — a psalm born out of raw obedience in the wilderness of Judah, where David dares to leave the secure cave of Adullam and his band of four hundred loyal men at the prophet Gad’s command — and still sings for joy in the shadow of God’s wings.

Jaime unpacks the historical backdrop from 1 Samuel 22–23, when David was fleeing Saul, had tucked his parents safely away, and had built a strategic military stronghold… only to hear God say, “Leave.” In that dry and weary land with no water, David’s soul thirsts for God more than his body thirsts for drink. He speaks truth before his emotions catch up, declaring that God’s covenant lovingkindness is better than life itself, lifting his hands in praise, clinging to the Lord, and choosing to meditate on Him through the fearful night watches.

Come ready to look at your own strongholds — the places that feel secure, logical, and safe — and the moments when God calls you out into uncertainty. Let this psalm remind you that there is no truly secure place apart from Him. Because His lovingkindness is better than life, His wings are the only shelter you need, and in the wilderness, when your soul clings to the One whose right hand upholds you, you can still sing for joy.

This week, Mariel Davenport, a Bible study teacher and creator of the TEND method, joins Jaime for an uplifting and encouraging conversation on reorienting your heart based on her newest Bible study, 1 Peter: Sustained by a Living Hope.

In this episode, Mariel shares the beautiful picture of community through the lens of her salsa garden—explaining how the "companion planting" of tomatoes and jalapeños perfectly mirrors how the body of Christ is designed to mutually benefit and grow together.

Mariel also tackles the misconception that reading the Bible is just an academic exercise, and offers practical advice on how slowing down to handwrite Scripture can cultivate a vibrant, intimate relationship with God rather than just gathering a collection of facts.

Mariel also opens up about the reality of spiritual warfare, sharing how deeply knowing who God says you are is your greatest defense against the enemy's lies. You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on what it means to truly tend to your soul, and how remembering your identity as chosen and holy can transform your daily walk with Jesus.

Visit marieldavenport.com to connect with Mariel and pick up a copy of 1 Peter: Sustained by a Living Hope, which provides a timely, step-by-step guide to standing firm and finding eternal hope in our shifting culture.

While there, you can also learn about her weekly podcast and her Tending Together online community, and connect with her on instagram at @marieldavenport.

Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a deeply personal devotional on Psalm 62 — a profound invitation to step away from the chaos of living and make God alone your refuge from busyness and betrayal.

Jaime unpacks David's experience with treachery and the exhaustion of dealing with people who bless with their mouths but inwardly curse. Rather than simply looking outward at the offenses of others, she turns the mirror inward. With gentle vulnerability, she leads a time of confession, challenging us to examine our own integrity, hidden judgments, and the ways we might be double-minded in our own thoughts and words.

We also dig into the striking, subtle shift between verse 1 ("My soul waits in silence") and verse 5 ("My soul, wait in silence"). Jaime explores how waiting on God is not a passive resignation, but an active, intentional quieting of the endless media and mental inputs we consume every day. She shares how we can practically coach our restless, weary souls back to stillness when the turmoil of life makes us want to run.

Come ready to unplug from the striving and step into intentional white space. Let this psalm remind you that while the world spins in a blur of endless activity and shifting truths, you have an unshakable stronghold. Because He is the rock. He is the anchor. And He is the quiet refuge where our souls can finally be still.

What does it look like to hide God's Word in your heart when life feels too busy and your brain feels too full? Jaime and Alana share personal stories, practical strategies, and honest confessions about the "blocks" that keep us from memorizing Scripture—from feeling too old, to frustration with changing Bible translations, to the overwhelm of not knowing where to start.

Along the way, they unpack creative tools that work at any age—setting verses to familiar tunes, using hand motions, breaking passages into manageable chunks, and asking reading-comprehension questions to slow down and absorb the text. Alana shares how Bible quizzing as a teenager shaped her ability to memorize entire chapters of Matthew, while Jaime offers a fresh perspective on why we can't always rely on our phones to bring God's Word to mind.

Whether you're a seasoned Scripture memorizer who has fallen out of practice or someone who has never tried it before, we hope you'll join us as we rediscover the joy, depth, and lasting fruit of committing God's Word to memory—one verse at a time.

Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 61 — a beautiful, deep breath of a psalm where David trades lament for absolute, unshakable confidence in God's protection.

Jaime unpacks the vivid contrasts of David’s poetry, from the rugged military imagery of God as an unbreachable high tower lifted far above the enemy's arrows, to the tender, fiercely protective picture of a mother bird sheltering her young. She traces this comforting theme of hiding "under His wings" throughout Scripture, showing how it represents not just safety, but deep belonging, intimacy, and love.

We also dig into the striking echo of Moses in Exodus 17 — when he struck the rock at Horeb and living water poured out. God is not just a cold, distant stone fortress to hide behind; He is the life-giving provision that sustains us when we are placed upon the high ground.

Come ready to step off the battlefield and into the throne room. Let this psalm remind you that while we aren't taken out of the world, we are completely covered while we walk through it. Because He is the high tower. He is the living water. And He is the safe refuge under whose wings we can finally sing for joy.

This week, Rachel Morley, the Senior SRP Specialist for Open Doors, joins Jaime for an eye-opening and deeply moving conversation about the realities facing the persecuted church today.

In this episode, Rachel shares the unique, often hidden, and complex challenges that Christian women face in hostile regions around the world. She opens up about the heartbreaking reality of secret believers, the threat of forced marriages, and the profound cost of choosing Christ in places like Afghanistan, Somalia, India and Bangladesh.

Rachel also unpacks incredible stories of resilience that prove God is still doing the impossible in impossible places. From believers finding peace in the face of familial betrayal to Muslims encountering Jesus in miraculous dreams and visions, this conversation highlights the unbreakable spirit of the global church. She also introduces a powerful, simple way to intercede when you don't have the answers: the "somehow" prayer.

You'll walk away inspired by the courageous faith of our persecuted brothers and sisters, reminded that God's light shines brightest in the darkest places, and equipped with practical ways to stand with them in prayer.

Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 60 — a raw, honest lament born out of being surrounded on all sides, where David dares to say You did this, God — and still picks up the banner and calls Him Lord.

Jaime unpacks the historical backdrop of David fighting enemies to the north, east, and south all at once, and shares a breathtaking story from her years near Death Valley — where barren, salt-crusted flats that look permanently dead suddenly erupted into a once-in-a-century bloom of purple wildflowers. Sometimes the victory is already buried right beneath the most hopeless-looking ground, waiting for God's rain to bring it to life.

We also dig into the striking echo of Moses in Exodus 33 — when God offered the promised land without His presence, and Moses said no deal. David carries that same heart here: deliverance by man is in vain, and the land is just dirt without the God who makes it flourish.

Come ready to look at your own salt flats — the silence, the barrenness, the places that feel cracked and pointless — and let this psalm remind you that there are seeds of life lying dormant beneath every one of them. Because He is the water. He is the banner. And He is the only reason the bloom comes.

This week, musician, author, and worship artist Kristen Rickards joins Jaime for an honest and hope-filled conversation about trusting God through seasons of devastating loss, unexplainable health battles, and the kind of waiting that tests everything you thought you believed.

In this episode, Kristen shares her journey from child actress and pageant winner to Christian worship leader and author — and the painful season of two miscarriages and a health crisis that nearly shook her faith to its core. She opens up about what it felt like to be angry with God, to pull back from prayer, and the moment she realized she couldn't stay in that place for long.

Kristen also unpacks the powerful story of the Shunammite woman from 2 Kings — a mother who watched her promised son die and still declared "all is well" as she ran toward the man of God — and how that story mirrors the faith required when our own dreams look dead. She reminds us that God doesn't punish us for our doubt; He rewards us for our faith, even when it's only the size of a mustard seed.

You'll walk away encouraged that no pain is wasted, that it's okay to come to God imperfectly, and that the dreams you've written off may be exactly what He's about to breathe life into again.

Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 59 — a deeply personal cry for deliverance that moves from terror to triumph, anchored in the unshakeable truth that God is our fortress no matter how thin the walls around us feel.

Jaime walks through David's harrowing reality — surrounded at night by men sent to kill him — and shares a vivid story from her experience at a safari in Kenya's Maasai Mara, where the sound of circling lions in the dark brought this ancient psalm to life in the most visceral way. Sometimes God is the only thing standing between you and what's closing in.

We also explore the surprising tension in David's prayer — asking God not to destroy his enemies outright, but to scatter them as living witnesses of His power, while still crying out for ultimate justice. And through it all, the refrain that carries the whole psalm: as for me, I will sing.

Come ready to name what's surrounding you, find refuge in the God who is your stronghold even when your "tent" feels paper-thin, and make the bold, faith-filled decision to sing His praises before your heart fully catches up — because that's exactly what David did.

This week, author, speaker, and Collide ministry founder Willow Weston joins Jaime for a raw and powerful conversation about running toward pain instead of away from it, based on her new book, Collide: Running Into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt.

In this episode, Willow shares her deeply personal story of growing up in a home marked by addiction and abandonment, and how a moment of hiding in a closet from her own mother became the catalyst for a healing journey she never expected.

Willow also unpacks the beautiful tension between letting God heal us and actively participating in our own healing — reminding us that wholeness requires both surrender and a willingness to move. She offers a refreshing challenge to the "sweep it under the rug" approach to pain, pointing to a Jesus who never once avoided someone's mess but made a beeline straight for it.

You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of how unresolved wounds quietly travel through our relationships, and why giving yourself permission to name your pain — and invite God into it — is the bravest step toward becoming more whole than broken.

How do you hold on to hope when injustice surrounds you and the wicked seem to prevail?
Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 58 — a raw, honest plea for justice that shifts our focus from the overwhelming corruption in the world to the unshakable truth that God is still on the throne.

Jaime walks through the striking imagery of dangerous, deaf cobras and the sudden fire of thorns — and shares a powerful insight: God doesn't just stop the enemy's current attacks. He acts as a whirlwind, sweeping away the kindling of their plans before the fire can even start, rendering their venom completely powerless.

We also dive into the beautiful duality of praying boldly for the defeat of wicked plots while holding out hope for the radical redemption of those in authority — because God's justice leaves room for both.

Come ready to lay down your frustrations about the state of the world, find peace in the God who executes perfect justice, and boldly declare that there is indeed a reward for the righteous — today.

What happens when we stop coasting on past knowledge and start craving Scripture? Jaime and Alana unpack creative, actionable strategies to seamlessly incorporate the Bible into your day. We explore the power of "habit stacking," the freedom of leaning into your unique learning style—whether auditory, visual, or tactile.

Along the way, they share personal insights—from the unexpected benefits of physical movement while meditating, to the surprising ways reading fiction can deepen your understanding of the Bible's grand story.

Whether you need the convenience of an audio Bible, a fresh approach to memorization, or just permission to enjoy a cup of coffee while you read, we hope you’ll join us as we discover grace-filled, practical ways to connect with God every single day.

How do you find faith when you feel entirely overwhelmed by opposition and seemingly alone in your struggles? In this devotional on Psalm 56, we walk through David’s raw plea for rescue, shifting our focus from our immediate problems to the awe-inspiring backdrop of God's power.

We explore the tender imagery of God storing our tears not in a delicate vial, but in a rugged, stretching wineskin. Jaime shares her unique insight into how this wineskin acts as a powerful symbol of our God-given resilience. We dive into the beautiful reality that God literally carries us through dark times, showing the enemy that through His strength, we stretch instead of shrink under pressure.

Join host Jaime on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of prayer and scriptural truth. Come ready to surrender your fears, find refuge in the God who intimately carries your tears, and boldly declare His already-won victory over your life today.

How do you find true peace when you are constantly juggling the demands of life and wrestling with anxiety?

This week, author and photographer Autumn Schoeck joins Jaime for an honest conversation on trading exhaustion for rest, based on her new devotional, This Feels Like Home: Inspirations for Finding Peace.

In this episode, Autumn reflects on her profoundly personal journey through the painful trial of infertility, and how it ultimately drove her into a life-changing reliance on God.

Autumn also tackles the heavy burden of trying to control life's outcomes, offering the gentle reminder that we are "significant, but not sovereign." She provides profound insight into why we shouldn't "steal the struggle" from our loved ones, and opens up about the beautiful freedom found in regularly confessing our shortcomings.

You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on prayer, discovering how taking your doubts and fears to a loving Father can transform a dutiful routine into a deeply intimate relationship.

How do you cope when you feel completely surrounded by hostility, desperately seeking a safe haven from the destruction passing by? In this devotional on Psalm 57, we walk through David’s earnest prayer for rescue—written while he was hiding in a cave, fleeing for his life from King Saul. We shift our focus from the paralyzing fear of being hunted to the bold realization of God's protection, exploring the biblical mandate to ask God to intervene and how our prayers genuinely move His heart.

We explore what it means to take shelter under the shadow of the Almighty's wings when the world feels chaotic. Moving past our own immediate comfort, we dive into the deeper call of intercession: standing in the gap for those currently trapped in literal and spiritual war zones, and uncovering the profound, global impact of our collective prayers.

Join host Jaime on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of prayer and scriptural truth. If you are navigating a season of intense fear, feeling overwhelmed by global events, or simply need a reminder that God answers when we boldly ask, this episode offers a powerful shift in perspective.

Come ready to lift up the burdens of the world, intercede for the vulnerable, and declare the unshakeable refuge of the Lord over your life.

What starts as a simple lack of interest or the temptation to "coast" on past spiritual knowledge can quickly form towering "Bible blocks." Through honest and candid conversation, Jaime and Alana unpack the hidden obstacles keeping us from Scripture. We explore how decision fatigue, physical limitations, and the pressure to study the "right way" can paralyze our quiet times, and why envying someone else’s 5 a.m. discipline might be missing the point entirely.
Along the way, they share personal stories—from memorable first Bibles to the sometimes unpredictable results of playing "Bible roulette."  
Whether you are overwhelmed by where to start or simply need a reminder that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to quiet time, we hope you’ll join us as we learn to strip away the expectations of others and discover a genuine, grace-filled way to connect with God through His Word.

In this devotional on Psalm 55, we walk through David’s desperate prayer of anguish—a Maskil written in the agonizing wake of being stabbed in the back by a close confidant, his top advisor Ahithophel. We shift our focus from the paralyzing sting of emotional trauma to the beautiful, messy progression of biblical lament, recognizing how David moves from panic and a desire to escape, straight into petition and renewed trust.
We explore what it means to cast our crushing burdens upon the eternal God, uncovering the profound realization that while human friends might miss our texts or calls, the Lord hears our complaints evening, morning, and noon. We move past the instinct to simply run from our pain to the deeper truth: that God gives us full permission to process our darkest grief, anxiety, and frustration directly at His feet.

Join host Jaime on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of spiritual recalibration and honest lament. If you are navigating the heartbreak of broken trust, feeling overwhelmed by division within your community, or simply need a gentle reminder to take your problems to God before anyone else, this episode offers a powerful shift in perspective.

Come ready to lay down your heaviest anxieties, pray for unity within the body of Christ, and declare the unshakeable, sustaining power of the Lord over your life.

How do you trust God when your life looks completely different than the one you originally planned?

This week, Karol Holmes, a mother of seven and passionate advocate for families raising children with disabilities, joins Jaime for an honest conversation on navigating trauma and grief based on her newest book, Only Jesus Knows: Loving the World's Most Vulnerable.

In this episode, Karol shares her powerful testimony of temporarily hosting a critically ill baby from Haiti—a decision that led to adopting three children with significant developmental and medical needs. 

Karol also tackles the extreme isolation families impacted by disability often face—especially within the church—and offers practical advice on how the body of Christ can step up to provide meaningful, tangible support.

Karol also opens up about the devastating loss of two of her children, sharing how she learned to survive the darkest trenches of grief by focusing on "whatever comes next." You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on the biblical practice of lament, and how honestly pouring out your pain to God can transform your deepest sorrow into genuine praise.

Visit lovingtheleast.com to connect with Karol and pick up a copy of Only Jesus Knows, which tells the heart-warming story of her son Moise while offering vital, step-by-step resources for navigating the journey of raising adults with developmental disabilities.

How do you defend yourself when the people you trusted most become the very ones seeking your downfall? Where do you turn when you need more than just a temporary helper, but a true advocate to stand beside you in the courtroom of life?

In this devotional on Psalm 54, we walk through David's desperate prayer for defense—a Maskil written after being completely sold out by his own kindred, the Ziphites. We shift our focus from the sting of betrayal to the profound, ancient legal language of God as the "sustainer of our souls." We explore what it means for the Almighty to step into the role of our legal Defender, uncovering the beautiful thread that connects David's protector to Jesus's promise of the Holy Spirit. We move past surface-level comforts to the deeper truth: that God didn't just send an angel to assist you; He sent the Paraclete—another of the exact same kind—to live within you and plead your case before the Father.

Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of spiritual recalibration. If you are feeling accused, overwhelmed by opposition, or simply need a reminder of who is standing at your right hand, this episode offers a powerful shift in perspective. Come ready to embrace your Intercessor, wield the secret weapon of praise, and declare the unshakeable victory of your Advocate before the battle is even over.

This week's question is one that hits close to home for many of us:
Is it wrong to sing worship songs written by people or churches involved in scandals?
Join Alana and Jaime as they dive into the complexities of "separating the fruit from the vine." They discuss how to handle personal convictions versus corporate worship, the dangers of a "cancel culture" within the church, and why looking at the life of King David might change your perspective on the music you love. Whether you're struggling with headlines about modern ministries or wondering if you should purge your personal playlist, this episode offers a grace-filled look at navigating worship in an imperfect world.

When crime stories dominate headlines, how do we talk about justice without losing sight of faith?

In this episode of Christian True-Crime Junkies!, we sit down with former Long Beach police officer turned Christian romantic suspense author Janice Cantore to explore what it’s really like to serve on the front lines of law enforcement, and how God shows up in the darkest moments.

Drawing from her time with the Long Beach Police Department, Janice shares firsthand stories from patrol, detective work, and even the Rodney King riots. We talk about mob mentality, officer safety, the emotional toll of responding to tragedy, and the complicated conversations surrounding protests, policing, and accountability. Janice also opens up about how a pivotal moment early in her career strengthened her faith and reshaped the trajectory of her life.

We also talk about Janice's brand new book Edge of Truth, and how her experiences in law enforcement directly shaped her Christian suspense novels.

Do you ever wonder what the point of prayer is if God already knows what he's going to do? If so, you're not alone...and you definitely don't want to miss this episode!

This week, Jaime sits down for a powerful and timeless conversation from the podcast archives with Jennifer Kennedy Dean, beloved author of Live a Praying Life. Though Jennifer unexpectedly passed away in 2019, her message continues to impact women around the world who long for deeper intimacy with Christ.

In this episode, Jennifer shares the heart behind living in ongoing communion with God—not treating prayer as a spiritual task list, but as a lifestyle of surrender, attentiveness, and transformation. 

Jennifer unpacks how prayer aligns us with God’s purposes rather than persuading Him to adopt ours, while highlighting the importance of being willing participants in the mystery of prayer. She speaks candidly about her struggles when her brother passed away from illness after fervent prayers of her whole family, and how sometimes God's best "yes" to our prayers doesn't look quite like we'd imagined or even hoped for.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your prayers weren’t “working,” or wondered why God sometimes seems silent, this conversation will absolutely bring you hope and encouragement.

Jennifer’s legacy continues through her writing and ministry, inviting women everywhere into a richer, more transformative prayer life.

How do you declare "God is on the throne" when the evidence around you screams the opposite? Can you find spiritual victory when your logic and emotions are railing against this truth?

In this devotional on Psalm 53, we walk through a "revision" of Psalm 14— a Maskil that shifts our focus from the covenant name of Yahweh to Elohim, the Creator and Judge of all humanity. We confront the paralyzing reality of "great fear where no fear had been" and explore how the enemy uses the brokenness of this world to mask the spiritual victory God has already won. We move past the surface-level tragedies to the deeper truth: that God has already scattered the bones of those who encamp against you.

Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of spiritual recalibration. If you are exhausted by the heavy news cycle, or if your mind is railing against the promise of God’s sovereignty, this episode offers a battle plan for your thoughts. Come ready to "disconnect the logic," destroy speculations, and stand firm on the invisible, unshakeable reality of God’s Kingdom.

Does a marriage fall apart in a single moment of crisis, or does it slowly wear thin in the "long middle"?

This week, Dana Che, host of the Rebuilding Us podcast, joins Jaime for an honest conversation on redeeming broken marriages based on her new book, Tried and True: Marriage Advice from 12 Imperfect Biblical Couples.

In this episode, Dana shares her powerful personal testimony of marrying at 18, navigating infidelity, and how God transformed their hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. She unpacks the spiritual danger of "hiding" from your spouse—like Adam and Eve—and offers practical advice for women who feel spiritually mismatched or disconnected from their husbands.

Dana also tackles the controversial stance that children should not come first in the family hierarchy, explaining why prioritizing the marriage covenant is actually the best gift you can give your kids to prevent "gray divorce."

You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on how to pray for your husband rather than against him to control outcomes, and how to trust Jesus as the Mediator when you feel too weary to pray.

Visit danache.com to connect with Dana and pick up a copy of her new book at triedandtruemarriagebook.com.

In this devotional on Psalm 52, we confront one of the darkest moments in David’s life—the massacre at Nob. We explore the aftermath of Doeg the Edomite’s "sharp razor" betrayal, which led to the slaughter of 85 priests and an entire town, leaving David wrestling with the crushing weight of responsibility for their deaths. We move beyond the horror to examine David’s defiant choice of faith: the stark contrast between the "boastful wickedness" of the enemy and David’s self-declaration as a "green olive tree" in the house of God.

Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of deep restoration. If you are navigating the fallout of someone else’s betrayal, or if you are struggling with guilt over pain you feel you caused, this episode offers a sanctuary for your soul. Come ready to plant your roots deep in God’s presence, trusting that His loving-kindness endures even when the world is in chaos.

In Part 2 of the special "lost episodes" recovered from the 2018 archives, Jaime and Alana take us back to the very beginning—Episode 2 of the show—to tackle the single most neglected component of a healthy prayer life: Confession

If the word "confession" stirs up feelings of fear, shame, or hesitation, this conversation flips the script, redefining the act not as a punishment, but as the essential pathway to profound spiritual healing. The hosts deconstruct the stigma around admitting our faults, illustrating how keeping "short accounts" with God is actually the key to maintaining a clear and open line of communication.

Drawing from the wisdom of James 5:16, they explore how unconfessed sin acts as a "prayer block" and why the Bible links confession directly to restoration. They candidly discuss the discomfort of vulnerability, the "crumpled paper" analogy of how sin builds invisible barriers, and the often-overlooked power of corporate repentance to bring unity to the body of Christ.

In this devotional on Psalm 51, we step into the wreckage of King David’s greatest failure—the affair with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah. We move beyond a simple apology to uncover the specific Hebrew anatomy of David's confession: Pesha (rebellion), Avon (twistedness), and Hata'ah (missing the mark). We explore the shocking reality that under Mosaic Law, David should have faced the death penalty, yet he boldly asks God to "create a way" where the law offered none.

Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of radical vulnerability. If you’ve ever felt like your mistakes have disqualified you from God’s presence, or that you are not worthy due to your past mistakes, this episode offers a roadmap from guilt to gladness. Come ready to run toward the Father who doesn't just want your perfection, but your broken and contrite heart.

If you have ever felt that your busy schedule disqualifies you from a deep spiritual life, this conversation flips the script, redefining prayer not as a quiet-time luxury, but as the "real work" that fuels every other task.

Drawing from the imagery of the Proverbs 31 woman, the hosts explore how to trade defensive, reactive panic for a proactive, offensive prayer strategy. They candidly discuss the struggle of the "inner critic," the challenge of mental focus, and the beauty of eucharisteo—finding power in thanksgiving.

 
Whether you are a seasoned intercessor or someone just trying to find five minutes of peace, tune in to discover that you don't need a perfect quiet time to be a powerful intercessor. Come exactly as you are, and let’s learn how to trade the heavy burden of religious duty for a relationship that truly changes everything.

In this devotional on Psalm 50, we enter a divine lawsuit where God acts as the Judge, Witness, then Prosecutor. We move beyond the text to uncover the Hebrew context of the "wicked"—covenant members who recite God's statutes while secretly harboring deceit. We explore why God rejects the "cattle on a thousand hills" to demand something far more costly: a "sacrifice of thanksgiving."

Jaime also shares a candid personal reflection on the specific accusation of slandering "your own mother's son," connecting it to the heartbreaking political and spiritual fractures we see in the world today. She challenges us to examine our own role in that division—whether we are building unity or "letting our mouths loose in evil."

Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of tender hope. If you’ve been disheartened by discord among believers or caught in the trap of performative faith, this episode offers a path toward true integrity. Come ready to be examined by the Judge who desires your heart, not just your habits.

This week, Jennifer Slattery, host of the Faith Over Fear podcast, joins Jaime for an inspiring discussion on how to hear God's voice through the practice of interactive journaling.

In this episode, Jennifer unpacks the practical steps of this relational tool, explaining how to move from an intellectualized faith to an emotional connection with the Father. She discusses the importance of releasing expectations and trusting God to speak on His terms—whether through Scripture, nature, or even, as her daughter experiences it, through calculus.

You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on how to attune your ears to God's frequency, practical tips to start your own journaling habit, and the reassurance that God wants to connect with you just as much as you want to connect with Him.

What if the "ransom" for your soul is a price so high that no amount of wealth could ever cover it? What if the security you crave can't be found in your bank account, but in a transaction only God could make?

In this devotional on Psalm 49, we explore a biblical "riddle" that perfectly foreshadows the redeeming work of Christ. We move beyond the text to discuss the "legal" nature of the spiritual realm and the folly of trusting in riches. Jaime also shares a candid personal reflection on the hidden defenses we often use to avoid facing our true selves.

Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of deep encouragement and honest confession. If you’ve felt stuck in patterns of avoidance or envious of worldly success, this episode offers a fresh perspective on where your true worth lies. Come ready to drop your defenses and accept the freedom of a redeemed life.

Do our prayers really change anything, or is God just going to do what He wants anyway?

This week, Catherine Segars, host of the Christian Parent, Crazy World podcast, joins Jaime for a riveting discussion on the theology of intercession based on Watchman Nee’s classic book, Let Us Pray.

In this joint episode, Catherine unpacks the stunning concept that God often waits for His people to pray before He acts. She explains the "Train Track" analogy—how God’s will is the locomotive, but our prayers lay the rails for His power to move on earth.

Catherine also shares her dramatic personal testimony of warring in prayer for her miracle children in her 40s. She details how she learned to direct her outrage at the enemy rather than God during difficult times.

You’ll walk away with a new "legal" framework for the heavenly courtroom, understanding how to partner with God to see His will established in your life and the lives of your children.

In this special edition of the Praying Christian Women podcast, Jaime and Alana take a break from the usual Prayer Through the Psalms series to share a deeply personal interview from their true crime podcast series, Christian True-Crime Junkies.

Coinciding with Spiritual Abuse Awareness Month, this is Part 1 of a 3-part conversation exploring Alana's harrowing experience in a Christian cult during her college years—a story she is sharing in depth for the first time.

What began as a faith community rooted in belonging and purpose slowly revealed patterns of manipulation, control, and spiritual abuse. Through Alana's firsthand account, we unpack how high-control religious environments form, why intelligent and faith-seeking young adults are especially vulnerable, and how Scripture, obedience, and "submission" can be weaponized to silence questions and override personal discernment. 

Whether you have experienced spiritual abuse yourself or simply want to protect your loved ones, we hope you'll join us as we learn to distinguish between a healthy church and a high-control group, ultimately pointing us back to the safety and freedom found in a genuine relationship with Jesus.

NOTE: Part 2 of this conversation will air on Tuesday, 1/20 on the Christian True-Crime Junkies! podcast, with Part 3 to follow!

Catherine Segars, host of the Christian Parent, Crazy World podcast, joins us this week to discuss the delicate and often difficult transition of releasing our children into the world, biblically and prayerfully.

In our conversation, Catherine breaks down the four distinct phases of parenting—Caregiver, Cop, Coach, and Counselor—and warns of the friction that occurs when we try to parent our children from the wrong phase. Jaime unpacks a powerful insight from John 17, illustrating how Jesus modeled healthy detachment by praying for His disciples’ protection from the evil one rather than their removal from the world.

You won’t want to miss this empowering episode highlighting the spiritual authority parents hold over what they have "authored," and powerful encouragement that it is never too late to impact your child’s life through prayer—even if they are currently in a prodigal season.

What if the spiritual battles you face aren't meant to be fought with your own strength? What if the obstacles in your life—whether they be fears, anxieties, or spiritual attacks—are actually terrified of the One who stands beside you?

In this empowering devotional on Psalm 48, we explore the awe-inspiring imagery of Mount Zion—the city where God makes Himself known as a stronghold. We move beyond the text to uncover the fascinating historical context of the Roman "Helmet of Salvation," discovering how a soldier’s crest was more than decoration; it was a declaration of ownership and intimidating power. We learn that when we stand firm in our identity, the enemy doesn't just see us; he sees the entire Kingdom of God backing us.

Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of deep encouragement and spiritual strengthening. If you’ve felt defeated by the start of the year or overwhelmed by invisible battles, this episode offers a fresh perspective on your victory in Christ. Come ready to "put on" your salvation, stand firm in the City of God, and watch the enemy flee.

Drawing from Romans 12:2, they explore how renewing your mind isn't just about spiritual discipline, but also about protecting your mental energy and physical health. Alana and Jaime get vulnerable about their own struggles, discussing everything from the impact of decision fatigue and poor sleep hygiene to the danger of coasting on past Bible knowledge. They challenge the modern tendency to fill every quiet moment with media, encouraging listeners to embrace silence and intentional scheduling to create "white space" for the Holy Spirit.

Whether you are battling negative self-talk or simply need better boundaries with your phone at bedtime, this episode offers practical, non-judgmental encouragement. Tune in to discover how treating your body as a "partner in ministry" and making small tweaks in your routine can lead to spiritual breakthroughs, reminding us that God isn't looking for perfection—He is simply waiting to welcome you home with open arms this New Year.

Monica Schmelter, host of the Hope for the Journey podcast, invites us into her incredible testimony of how God saved her as a rebellious teenager and how that moment began a lifelong journey of rewriting her family’s history through prayer.

In our conversation, Monica highlights the reality of perseverance, sharing how she prayed for 25 years before seeing her family members—including her Muslim grandfather and atheist father—come to Christ. She also shares a stunning story about a specific prayer she wrote in her youth regarding her father joining the church orchestra, and how God faithfully answered it nearly four decades later.

You won’t want to miss Monica’s wisdom on how to battle discouragement when waiting on the Lord, the importance of sitting in silence in your "promise room," and the powerful reminder that God is always working in the details to redeem your loved ones.

What if the joy of Christmas is deeper, steadier, and more triumphant than the noise and pressure that often surround it? What if true praise isn't a performance we have to perfect, but a victory we are invited to rest in?

In this uplifting devotional on Psalm 98, we explore the surprising and hope-filled connection between this ancient scripture and the beloved hymn, "Joy to the World." We discover that this hymn  wasn't originally written about the nativity, but as a powerful declaration of the King who returns to rule with equity. From the rivers clapping their hands to the mountains singing for joy, we see a picture of a God who makes His blessings flow "far as the curse is found."

Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a warm scripture meditation filled with encouragement, reflection, and prayer. Whether you need permission to be still amidst the busyness or a fresh reminder of God’s faithfulness, this episode offers a sanctuary to refocus your heart.
Come ready to trade your to-do list for trust, celebrating the Savior who has come, and the King who will come again.

Drawing from Biblical Christmas stories, Jaime explores the tension of waiting on God's promises. She reflects on the 400 "silent years" before Christ's birth and the incredible suspense of Mary’s pregnancy, illustrating how God is often working behind the scenes long before we see the results. She also cautions against taking "spiritual shortcuts"—like Abraham and Sarah did—urging listeners to trust God’s perfect timing rather than settling for less than His best in their relationships or careers just to end the wait.

If you are struggling with unanswered prayers, loneliness, or the weight of past mistakes this holiday, this episode offers a gentle message of Christmas hope and redemption. Jaime reminds us that God delights in blessing us right in the "messy middle" of our circumstances. Tune in to shift your focus from the frustration of delay to the peace of Jesus, finding courage in surrender and the assurance that God is actively working on your behalf this Christmas.

In this devotional on Psalm 46, we explore the profound invitation to "cease striving" and "be still and know that I am God." We look beyond the surface of this famous passage to encounter the "Lord of Hosts"—the Commander of Angel Armies—and learn why our desperate attempts to save ourselves often make it harder for Him to rescue us. Through the lens of a lifeguard saving a drowning swimmer, we discover that true safety is found not in struggling, but in spiritual surrender.

Join host Jaime Hampton for this encouraging scripture meditation on the Praying Christian Women podcast. Whether you are battling holiday anxiety, financial hardship, or just the noise of a busy season, discover how to turn away from fear and embrace the God who is your refuge and strength.

Jaime opens up about a personal encounter with a crisis manufacturer—someone who fabricated emergencies to monopolize her time—while Alana helps listeners distinguish between a needy "emotional vampire" and a calculated "emotional scammer." Together, they define spiritual stewardship, challenging listeners to treat their intercession like a precious resource that requires wise "triage" rather than an unlimited supply for every demand. They also provide practical biblical wisdom on spotting red flags, from fabricated testimonies to those who demand to be the center of your spiritual focus.

Finally, the hosts address the guilt and shame that often plague empathetic Christians who have been deceived. Whether you are dealing with compassion fatigue or recovering from betrayal in ministry, this episode offers a gentle reminder that no prayer offered in love is ever wasted. Tune in to learn how to be "shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves," protecting your prayer life and spiritual vitality without hardening your heart.

What happens when you feel like a "hot mess" right in the middle of the holiday rush? How do you silence the lies of the enemy when your to-do list is overflowing and your heart feels overwhelmed by imperfection?

In this devotional on Psalm 45, we explore the surprising connection between "The King’s Marriage" and our own inadequacies. While this beautiful wedding song celebrates the union of the King and His Bride, it also invites us to lay down the pressure of perfectionism. We learn that God’s power is made perfect in our weakness and that He can redeem even our most chaotic moments for His glory.

Join host Jaime Hampton for this encouraging scripture meditation on the Praying Christian Women podcast. Whether you are battling holiday stress or spiritual attacks, discover how to turn away from old mindsets and the lies of the enemy to fully embrace your identity.

Is putting up Christmas lights just a chore, or can it be an act of worship? In this episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, Alana and Jaime explore how to infuse prayerfulness into holiday decorating. Whether you deck the halls early or keep things simple due to travel, they discuss shifting the focus from aesthetics to the true meaning of Christmas found in Luke 2.

Jaime shares the nostalgia of her childhood nativity, while Alana opens up about the intentionality of rebuilding her collection after a move. Together, they discuss how to approach differing cultural traditions with charity and the importance of extending grace to families who celebrate differently than you do. They also offer practical tools, such as using ornaments as "prayer triggers" and creating worshipful spaces to invite God into the holiday chaos.

Finally, the hosts encourage listeners to embrace freedom in their traditions—whether that means listening to Handel’s Messiah or skipping the tree entirely. Whether you love eggnog or loathe it, this episode is a gentle reminder that the most important decoration is a heart prepared for Jesus, doing it all for the glory of God.

What happens when you have been faithful, but God seems silent? How do you navigate the spiritual dryness of unanswered prayer, holiday stress, or broken relationships when your current struggles don't match God's past promises?

In this devotional on Psalm 44, we explore the tension between "Former Deliverances and Present Troubles." This powerful prayer of lament offers Biblical permission to be brutally honest with God, teaching us how to build "Ebeneezers"—memorial stones of remembrance—to sustain our faith when we feel abandoned.

Join host Jamie Hampton for this encouraging scripture meditation on the Praying Christian Women podcast. Whether you are facing injustice or simply feel unseen, discover how to turn your pain into a plea for Jehovah Rafa to "Rise up, be our help, and redeem us for the sake of Your lovingkindness."

Kristy Graham, host of the On the Ground with Samaritan’s Purse podcast, invites us into a behind-the-scenes look at what it means to bring the hope of Christ to places marked by disaster, war, and deep need, and how you can be an integral part of this ministry through the Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Catalog.

In our conversation, Kristy highlights one of the little-known gifts in the catalog: sponsoring a hospital chaplain. Kristy recently visited a partner hospital in Tenwek, Kenya and describes how she saw firsthand how desperately the staff and patients need chaplains. Through prayer, as well as practical and spiritual support, chaplains are making Kingdom difference as they meet people at their place of deepest need with the love of Jesus.

You won’t want to miss Kristy’s moving testimonies, her contagious passion for the gospel, and some creative ways the Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Catalog can make gift-giving extra special this year.

This week, in honor of American Thanksgiving, we are jumping ahead to Psalm 100; the only chapter in the Bible specifically subtitled "A Psalm for Thanksgiving."
In this episode, host Jamie Hampton invites us to look beyond the festivities and see gratitude as a powerful weapon, one capable of shifting our focus from our own fragile plans to God’s eternal faithfulness.

If you have ever felt the exhaustion of trying to be "self-made," this episode is for you. We explore the deep rest found in the truth that "It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves." Join us as we enter His courts with praise, letting go of the need to control our destiny and embracing the joy of simply being the sheep of His pasture.

Jaime opens up about a recent car accident that shifted her perspective on safety and provision, while Alana shares the joy of completing a major writing project. Together, they use these personal moments to illustrate how gratitude acts as an anchor during both the highs and the lows of life, rather than just a reaction to good news.

The conversation dives into the fascinating biology behind thankfulness, discussing how these practices release dopamine and serotonin, lower cortisol levels, and can literally rewire neural pathways for optimism. They also explore how these scientific findings perfectly align with scripture, specifically Proverbs 17:22, which reminds us that a cheerful heart serves as good medicine.

Finally, the hosts discuss redefining the concept of living with "no regrets" and offer a compassionate look at grace during hard seasons. Whether you are naturally optimistic or currently struggling to find the light, this episode offers a gentle reminder that gratitude isn't just a spiritual obligation, but a gift designed by God to help us thrive.

How do we scoop up all those heavy burdens—the fears, the frustrations, the doubts—and actually lay them at the feet of Jesus to find rest? How do we practice the holy habit of "self-talk" when our hearts are in despair, giving ourselves permission to be real about where we are while still clinging to the promise of who God is?

In Psalm 43—a short, orphan psalm often viewed as the conclusion to Psalm 42—the writer cries out for vindication and light. Without a formal title or choir direction, this intimate prayer offers a raw look at a soul demanding truth amidst oppression, bridging the gap between deep despair and the confident expectation that praise will return.

Join us for this encouraging 16-minute prayer through Psalm 43 on the Praying Christian Women podcast as host Jamie Hampton opens up about her own week of uncertainty and leads us in clearing the spiritual clutter. Whether you’re ready to worship or just hanging on by a thread, discover how to shift your question from "Why is this happening?" to "God, show me what You're doing," and find the courage to tell your downcast soul: "Hope in God, for I will praise Him again."

How do we push through those nights when worry feels like our only companion, turn our inner chaos into a quiet trust, and show up for worship anyway, even when we feel too broken or unqualified to lead the way?

In Psalm 42, the sons of Korah—descendants of a guy who rebelled big-time against God and paid the price—open up about their deep longing for Him, turning a family curse into a powerful song of hope that reminds us of David's own thirst and points ahead to Jesus welcoming the tired and thirsty to rest by the Rock that never runs dry.

Join us for this heartfelt 15-minute prayer through Psalm 42 on the Praying Christian Women podcast  as host Jamie Hampton shares the amazing story of the Korah crew's comeback as proof of God's second chances for all of us, and encourages you to claim that promise—"I will praise Him again"—no matter what mess you're carrying, so you can expect honestly, hope boldly, and walk right back into the presence of a God who says you're never too far gone.

Psalm 41 pulls us into that exact space: the sickbed of sorrow, the sting of treachery, the ache of confession, and the stubborn trust that God sees, sustains, and ultimately vindicates. David threads together blessing for the merciful and pleas for deliverance, echoing the Beatitudes’ upside-down kingdom while foreshadowing Christ—the betrayed One who forgives, restores, and anchors us not in earned favor, but in unshakeable grace.

Join us for this 18-minute prayer through Psalm 41 on the Praying Christian Women podcast where host Jamie Hampton invites us into honest spiritual wrestling. She confronts the discomfort between Old Testament reciprocity and New Testament grace, asks what mercy really looks like when life hurts, and reminds us that God doesn’t demand perfection—He forms forgiven hearts that overflow mercy because they’ve received mercy.
Step into this episode ready to question, receive, and rest in the God who turns confusion into communion and holds us steady when life’s equations don’t add up.

This week on the Praying Christian Women podcast, we're thrilled to sit down with Amy Duggar King, who totally gets those struggles. You might know her as cousin Amy from TLC’s reality series 19 Kids and Counting, but what you saw on screen doesn’t even scratch the surface of her story.

You'll walk away with empowering insights to question harmful theology, embrace your worth, and let the Holy Spirit turn your pain into purpose-filled breakthroughs and deeper intimacy with God.

You won't want to miss this powerful conversation that will reignite your courage to speak truth and shows how shining light in dark places unlocks freedom for you and those around you.

How do we keep from envying the apparent success of the wicked when injustice seems to go unchecked? What does it mean to truly “trust in the Lord and do good” when evil prospers around us? In Psalm 37, David contrasts the temporary triumphs of the unrighteous with the steady, eternal security of those who place their hope in God.

Join us for this 13-minute meditation on Psalm 37, where we discover God’s call to patience, trust, and delight in Him. Instead of fretting over evildoers, we are invited to fix our eyes on His faithfulness, to dwell in peace, and to rest in the promise that the meek will inherit the earth. And because we have the teachings of Jesus, New Testament believers can benefit from Christ's call to love our enemies, pray for those who persecute us, and trust in a God whose redemptive power means there truly are no lost causes.

This week on the Praying Christian Women podcast, we're excited to chat with Bekah Yawn, CEO and founder of Fertility Set Free, fertility awareness educator, certified hormone coach, and host of the For The Love of Hormones podcast, who's taking us for a deep dive into hormones and faith.

You'll gain insights on educating daughters, leaning into your God-given "helper" strength from Genesis, and finding hope in Scripture's promise that suffering glorifies Him—without resentment.

These are episodes where we take listener questions and have a conversation about them, share our own experiences, and give prayer tips and advice from a Biblical perspective.

This week's question from listener Lisa is relatable and really gets to the heart of our prayer lives: how do you know when you've prayed enough for the day, especially when balancing Paul's call to pray without ceasing, avoiding legalism, and making room for the rest of life?

We hope you'll join us for this thoughtful conversation about shifting our view of prayer to include everyday moments with God, dealing with guilt and shame in our prayer habits, recognizing when a prayer burden is released, practical ways to know when to wrap up your quiet time, analogies from friendships and daily routines, and so much more!

Join us for this 17-minute meditation on Psalm 34, where David illustrates the spectrum of emotions we can experience through passionate prayer: it alternates between prayers of praise and prayers of lament over persecution from enemies.

Her testimony inspired thousands. Her execution sparked a global controversy.

In the 1980s Karla Faye Tucker's name splashed across headlines after a grisly, drug-fueled murder. Her crime sparked even more notoriety and controversy after her dramatic conversion to Christ while she sat behind bars on death row.

Karla Fay Tucker's crime, redemption, and legal battle exploded in the headlines, but what didn't change was her commitment to the Savior who rescued her soul from the prison of darkness and sin.

Psalm 33 isn’t just a hymn of praise—it’s a prophetic anthem that points us to God as Creator, Preserver, and the only true source of hope in times of uncertainty. While nations may rise and fall and human strength may falter, this psalm boldly declares that it is the Lord alone who speaks creation into being, sustains life, and offers deliverance to His people. It’s a timeless reminder that our trust isn’t in armies, leaders, or worldly power—it’s in the unshakable God who sees every heart and rules with justice and love.

Spend 16 minutes with us in prayer and scripture as we reflect on Psalm 33 and give glory to the God who reigns over all creation.

Psalm 32 isn’t just a poetic reflection—it’s a bold invitation to step into the freedom that comes when we stop hiding and start confessing. David shows us the heavy toll of unspoken sin—the groaning, the weariness, the weight we carry—and then contrasts it with the joy and relief of forgiveness. This psalm is both instruction and testimony, reminding us that God doesn’t just tolerate our repentance, He welcomes it, offering covering, healing, and restoration.

Join us for this 15 minute of prayer and scripture reading as we walk through Psalm 32 together, learning how confession leads not to condemnation, but to freedom, peace, and a joy that can only come from God’s mercy.

This week’s guest on the Praying Christian Women podcast has an incredible testimony about how one simple gift changed her life forever. Mariel Davenport is a former atheist who was transformed by reading God’s Word, and hasn’t looked back since.

We talk with Mariel about her powerful testimony. She explains her T.E.N.D. method of Bible study, and tells us all about her brand new Bible study through Our Daily Bread, Ruth: Finding Grace in the Unexpected, which releases October 7th.

You can connect with Mariel and sign up for a free 4 week study of Ruth at MarielDavenport.com/ruth
