Jena Fellers joins AJ on the Sojo Show today to share how she faced moments of doubt and hardship but chose to trust that God was guiding her path. And how we too can discover the strength that comes from exercising faith in God, especially when we need it the most.Jena's story serves as a tremendous example of walking by faith, not by sight. Despite facing the unknown, she never gave up, continually seeking God's guidance. As Christians, we understand that falling down is inevitable, but, like Jena, we have the ability to get back up, trusting in God's plan for our lives. We encourage you to listen to Jena's full story and reflect on the concept of trust in your own life. What does trust mean to you?  PS.: Don’t forget to click to “download” the episode. That’s the number 1 way to help the podcast reach more and more women.

Have you ever done anything crazy, silly, dangerous, or stupid in order to fit in?Today we are diving right into Galatians 1:10, and we can be encouraged by Paul’s example of not seeking the approval of man, but the approval of God.  This single verse brings a valuable lesson for us and it’s one you do NOT want to miss!We all want to fit in, not only in our personal lives, but we can feel the pressure in the church as well. Today’s million dollar question of how to live free from people pleasing is discussed on the podcast this week.

Women that were flawed, just like us, but faithful. And we probably have women reading this who are in a hard spot, experiencing loss or heartache like the women of the Bible. But the women of the Bible can inspire us in whatever situation we're in. If you are working hard to use your gifts for the glory of God, but don't feel like you have a whole lot to offer, this episode is for you.Our lives, no matter who we are, can reflect a great God.

In this episode, Jen and AJ highlight an excellent conversation they had with Sojo Academy members. This week, they had so much encouragement from the members about the false narrative that the enemy tries to give us the truth of the gospel that we must all cling to. And how that allows us to be beautiful before the Father, because of the beauty of Christ. Our June Bible study aimed to look at how people from the Bible recognized and fulfilled their God-given purposes, so we can better understand our purpose, and calling. Even if that purpose is found in mundane days and a seemingly endless to-do list of small tasks. Really to help our audience to gain clarity and uncover their unique purposes aligned with God's plan.  If you're not in the Academy, take this opportunity to hear from these women and their takeaways from this month's study that covers finding their God-given purposes.  Support the showConnect with us: www.instagram.com/sojosocietyBecome a member: www.sojoacademy.comSojo Academy is an ongoing membership for Christian women that provides a practical, streamlined, spiritual growth plan for every woman.Support the Podcast: www.sojohub.com/supportHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.

Sometimes when you have a lot of responsibility, when you feel the weight of said responsibility, sometimes it's just easier to not lean into that responsibility, yes? We shy away from it or even ignore it. The question then becomes, will we continue to walk down in disobedience? Or do we step up?Today's episode talks about confidence. About a man named Saul who lacked confidence and was disobedient and really failed in his calling, and how we, as we're discovering our God-given purpose, can succeed in ours. (and we use the word succeed loosely because it's not us. It's all God.)Enjoy the story of Saul and learn how to stand firm in your calling and not chicken out.{FREE} Resources: sojohub.com/resourcesRead the Show Notes: sojohub.com/purpose083 Support the showConnect with us: www.instagram.com/sojosocietyBecome a member: www.sojoacademy.comSojo Academy is an ongoing membership for Christian women that provides a practical, streamlined, spiritual growth plan for every woman.Support the Podcast: www.sojohub.com/supportHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.

In today’s episode, Jen and AJ are pulling the curtains back on Sojo Academy and doing something a little different! If you are not familiar, inside the Academy, we meet every week on Zoom. One of our calls is called  “Coffee chat”, where we and other members share our takeaways on the Bible study that we're going through that month!  We wanted to share the Coffee Chat from the Nehemiah study with you because there were so many important points that were brought out that the Holy Spirit really just pinpointed in the lives of our Sojo members. And we were able to see how they directly apply to us today.  If you're not in the Academy, take this opportunity to hear from these women and reflect on what God has to tell you through this beautiful book.Prayer isn't just about making the request or seeing if God's gonna answer. It's about confidence, assurance, boldness, and power.Read the Show Notes: sojohub.com/nehemiah082Free Resources: sojohub.com/resourcesSupport the showConnect with us: www.instagram.com/sojosocietyBecome a member: www.sojoacademy.comSojo Academy is an ongoing membership for Christian women that provides a practical, streamlined, spiritual growth plan for every woman.Support the Podcast: www.sojohub.com/supportHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.
