From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about a gift you can't work for.
So much of our faith can quietly become about earning — earning closeness, earning acceptance, earning God's love. In this episode, Jen opens up Ephesians 2 and asks a question worth sitting with: what if your relationship with God isn't as fragile as you think? If you're looking for Christian encouragement that actually gives you room to breathe, this one's for you. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Ephesians 2:1-9 

Question
God, are there any places where I'm striving because of insecurity and what do you offer me instead?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about how Jesus REALLY sees you.
Do you come to God already bracing yourself — half-expecting him to lead with everything you've done wrong? In this episode, Jen gently challenges that assumption and walks you through what Scripture actually says about how Jesus feels when you draw near. It's a quiet, honest conversation about belonging — and a simple prayer prompt that might change the way you talk to God today. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Hebrews 2:11

"For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers."

Question
Jesus, are you ashamed to call me yours?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about being a New Creation NOW and why it's NOT a goal but a gift from God.
If you've ever felt like being a "New Creation" was just another standard you couldn't quite measure up to, this episode is for you. Jen unpacks what 2 Corinthians 5:17 actually means — and why your new identity in Christ isn't something you have to earn, it's something you already have. This is the Christian encouragement you need if you're tired of striving and ready to simply receive. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
2 Corinthians 5:17

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."

Question
God, how are you inviting me to change how I see myself?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about why you are not auditioning for God.
If you've ever walked into prayer feeling like you had to show up as your best self to earn God's attention, this episode is for you. Jen unpacks why so many of us approach God out of fear rather than belonging — and how understanding your adoption as His daughter can quietly transform the way you talk with Him. A grounding moment of Christian encouragement for whenever the weight of the day follows you into your quiet time. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Romans 8:15

"For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, 'Abba! Father!"

Question
God, what does belonging change about how I approach you?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about why morning routines with Jesus don't have to be perfect.
If you've ever felt guilty for not being a "morning person," Jennifer Dukes Lee has a word for you — and it might change how you start every single day. In this conversation, she shares what she discovered after studying 200+ mornings in Scripture: that God has a soft spot for mornings, and that meeting Him there has nothing to do with what time your alarm goes off. This is your Christian encouragement for anyone who's ever whispered "God, help me" before their feet hit the floor — because Jennifer says that counts. 

Jennifer Dukes Lee is a bestselling author, speaker, and morning evangelist from Iowa. She is the author of several books, including Growing Slow, It’s All Under Control, and Stuff I’d Only Tell God. She wants to live her life in such a way that
you can’t help but want more of Jesus.

Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!
