Welcome to Wrestling with Grace with Jessie Jean, a podcast dedicated to those navigating life’s messy moments while holding onto faith.

In this episode of Wrestling with Grace, I’m sharing my experience of Raising Kids with Faith in a Chaotic World. As a single mom, I know how overwhelming it can be to navigate today’s fast-paced, distraction-filled environment while trying to instill Christian values in our children. I’ll be talking about practical tips for building a strong foundation of faith, leading by example, and helping our kids discern the truth in a world full of noise. If you’re feeling the weight of keeping your kids connected to faith or looking for ways to strengthen your family’s spiritual life, this episode is for you. Join me for an honest conversation about parenting, faith, and finding hope in the midst of it all.

In this episode, we discuss Spiritual Warfare in Everyday Life. Together, we’ll dive into what spiritual warfare looks like, my own personal experience with it, and how we can use prayer, Scripture, and community as tools to fight back. Whether you're a single mom, a married woman, or someone just seeking to deepen your faith, this episode offers practical insights on how to stay rooted when your faith is under attack.

Welcome to this heartfelt episode of *Wrestling with Grace*! As I sit down to share my journey, I create a space for all of us—especially single moms and women who feel the weight of past mistakes—to understand and embrace the profound nature of God’s unconditional love. I open up about my personal struggles, including the fight with feelings of unworthiness that can often be overwhelming. I remind you that faith isn’t about being perfect; it’s about perseverance and having the courage to lean into God’s endless grace, especially during those messy moments in life.

Throughout this episode, I share candid stories from my own journey—my challenges with alcohol, experiences of infidelity, and the guilt that often follows. But I emphasize an essential truth: God’s love has no boundaries. Using Romans 5:8, I reassure you that God loves each of us deeply, even in our lowest times. I highlight the healing power of grace, reminding you that God is always there, ready to lift us from our darkest moments, even when we feel utterly lost.

For those of you who sit there feeling that your mistakes define you, I offer words of encouragement. I address the debilitating lies that tell us we are too flawed or too far gone to be embraced by love. Together, we can reject shame and embrace the truth: God longs for us with open arms. I make it clear that no failure is too great for the healing power of His grace.

If you’re feeling ready to make a change, I lead a heartfelt prayer inviting you to welcome Jesus into your life. It’s a powerful moment, reminding us that acceptance and forgiveness are always within reach.

As I wrap up, I remind you that we’re all on this journey together—striving for wholeness while lifting each other up through love and grace. Whether you’re a single mom navigating the ups and downs of life or simply a woman yearning for hope, I hope this episode envelops you in compassion and understanding. I encourage you to continue seeking the light of God, who is full of mercy and acceptance, as we move forward, knowing that we are never alone on this path.

If today’s episode resonates with you, I invite you to share it with a friend who might need this message of hope and grace. Let’s lean into God’s love together and remember: Your past does not define you—God does. Until next time, keep your hearts open and stay anchored in the truth of His endless grace.
