Faith doesn’t always feel confident or peaceful. Sometimes it feels like fear, hesitation, and obedience without clarity.

In this episode of Bibles and Botox, we explore what I call “but faith”. The kind of faith that chooses obedience even when emotions, logic, and circumstances say otherwise. From Simon Peter lowering his nets after a night of failure, to Abraham placing Isaac on the altar, to Jesus praying in Gethsemane, we see a consistent pattern in Scripture: God works through surrendered obedience before understanding comes.

You’ll hear a powerful personal testimony that brings this concept to life, and we’ll unpack how but faith shows up in real places: marriage, motherhood, calling, waiting seasons, and the moments when trusting God feels costly.

If you’ve ever said, “God, this doesn’t make sense… but I’ll obey,” this episode is for you.

Anxiety often has deeper roots than stress or overwhelm. In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between shame and anxiety and the way shame quietly shapes our identity, our faith, and how we relate to God.

Many Christian women carry anxiety fueled by self-blame, fear of disappointment, perfectionism, and the belief that God is distant when they struggle. But the Bible tells a different story—of a God who comes looking for His children, not after they’ve fixed themselves, but right in the middle of hiding.

In this episode, we talk about:
• How shame fuels anxiety and emotional exhaustion
• Why anxiety isn’t always about control—but about identity
• The biblical picture of a God who pursues, not withdraws
• Finding freedom from shame through God’s grace and presence

If you’re a Christian woman struggling with anxiety, burnout, or feelings of unworthiness, this episode offers biblical truth, encouragement, and hope rooted in Scripture—not self-help.

You are seen. You are pursued. You are not disqualified.

This episode dismantles one of the most seductive lies modern women live under: “If I don’t keep moving, producing, proving, and performing, everything will collapse.”

Restlessness isn’t just exhaustion — it’s unbelief dressed up as hustle. It’s the false gospel that tells you you must earn worth, secure identity, fix everyone, anticipate every crisis, and carry what only God can carry.

But Christ didn’t hang on a cross, drink the full cup of wrath, descend into death, rise again, and ascend to the right hand of the Father just so you could live like the world is still on your shoulders.

“It is finished.” (John 19:30)
Not partly finished.
Not almost there.
Not “Jesus did His part, now you better do yours flawlessly.”

Finished means:

• the penalty is fully paid
• the striving for identity is over
• the performance treadmill is shattered
• the restlessness of self-salvation is exposed as a lie

If you’re constantly anxious, constantly hustling, constantly proving, constantly afraid to stop because life might unravel — then this isn’t just a lifestyle issue. It’s a lordship issue.

You’ll hear why:

• Restlessness is not a personality flaw — it’s a theological misalignment.
• Busyness isn’t the enemy — burdened self-redemption is.
• Rest is not laziness — it’s obedience.
• Sabbath is not suggestion — it’s identity formation.

Jesus didn’t invite you to burnout discipleship. He invited you to union, yoke, communion, and freedom.

This episode will expose the counterfeit rest culture sells (self-care, spa days, escapism, numbing) and contrast it with the violent, victorious declaration Christ made over your life:

“It is finished.”
Finished striving.
Finished earning.
Finished proving.
Finished performing for love you already have.

Come listen — not to be inspired — but to be re-ordered. Come, and rest.

Waiting is one of the hardest places to trust God — especially when heaven feels silent and your heart is screaming for answers. In this episode of Bibles & Botox, we step into the dark, trembling night of Gethsemane… the most honest, human moment of Jesus’ life.

If you’ve ever begged God to move, wondered if He hears you, or felt crushed under the weight of “not yet,” this one is going to hit home.

Inside this episode, we break down:
• Why waiting exposes what you trust most
• How God uses delays to purify, humble, clarify, and strengthen you
• What Jesus’ prayer in the garden teaches us about real, raw faith
• The surprising truth: waiting isn’t where God abandons you — it’s where He forms you

This is for the woman who’s tired, anxious, stretched thin… and desperate to believe God hasn’t forgotten her.

Lean in. Gethsemane is where suffering turns to surrender — and where God prepares you for what He’s about to do.

This episode is Part 1 of the series Anxious Hearts & a Faithful God — a series for every woman who loves Jesus but still wrestles with a racing mind, sleepless nights, and the weight of “what if.”

We’re going far deeper than surface-level stress today. In this opening episode, Jen explores the spiritual root of anxiety — not just what it feels like in our bodies, but what it quietly says about our view of God. Because anxiety isn’t just a feeling… it’s an ache of uncertainty mixed with the illusion of control. And it often whispers lies about who God is, what He’s doing, and whether we’re truly safe in His hands.

I used to say “God loves me,” but deep down I didn’t really believe it — not in a way that felt personal, real, or life-changing.

Then one day — in the middle of my addiction — I prayed one desperate sentence in my car:

“God, if You really love me, stop me.”
Seconds later, He did… in a way no one could have scripted.

In this episode, I share that full, raw, vulnerable story — the moment God intervened when I was on my way to sin, not away from it.

But this isn’t just a testimony episode. We’re also talking about something almost every woman wrestles with, whether she’s a Christian or not:

Why is it so hard to believe we’re truly loved — not just in theory, but in a way that changes how we live, think, pray, and see ourselves?

So whether you’re a believer who knows the Bible but still feels unworthy…or you’re someone who’s not sure what you think about God at all…
This episode will give you a picture of a God who doesn’t just tolerate people — He moves toward them, rescues them, and calls them by name.

If you’ve ever wondered:
“Does God really love me?”
“Would He still love me after what I’ve done?”
“Why can other people feel God’s love but I don’t?”
— you’re in the right place.

What if the reason you feel so overwhelmed isn’t your schedule — it’s your soul forgetting who you are?

In this heartfelt episode, Jenifer shares her journey through addiction, shame, and striving — and the moment she finally remembered her true identity in Christ. From a mental whiteboard exercise on self-labels to Isaiah’s life-changing encounter with God, this episode will remind you that your worth was never meant to be earned — it was always meant to be received.

You’ll hear truth, grace, and hope as Jen unpacks:
• The hidden shame behind “having it all together”
• How shame fuels striving and burnout
• What Isaiah’s vision reveals about identity and grace
• The freedom found in Romans 8 — “no condemnation”

Friend, you are not your mistakes, your roles, or your exhaustion. You are His — chosen, forgiven, loved, and free.

✨ Tune in, take a deep breath, and let this be your reminder to overcome the overwhelm by remembering who you are in Him.
