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!

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about why you don't need a resume to draw near to God.
If you've been quietly wondering whether God is keeping score, this episode is for you. Jen walks through Colossians 3 to show why your security in Christ has nothing to do with your to-do list — and everything to do with what Jesus has already done. A gentle, grounding reminder for any Christian woman who needs to exhale and remember she's not hanging by a thread. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Colossians 3:1-4 
"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory."

Question
God, are there any areas where I’m living as though I’m exposed instead of hidden in Christ?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about moving from striving to receiving.
If you’ve ever felt that quiet pressure asking, “Am I doing enough for God?”—you’re not alone. In this faith-based reflection, we gently untangle that burden and rediscover the freedom found in Jesus’ finished work, offering real Christian encouragement for your everyday life. Come be reminded of how to hear from God in the middle of your busy day—and what it looks like to live from His grace instead of striving for it. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
John 19:30
"When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, 'It is finished,' and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."

Question
God, what does resting in your finished work look like for me today?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about what to do when you still feel guilty, even though God already has forgiven you. 
If you've ever wondered why guilt still lingers even after you've asked God for forgiveness, this episode is for you. Jen walks through the difference between conviction and condemnation — and why Romans 8:1 means you are free to come to God right now, not after you get your act together. This is Christian encouragement for anyone who's been quietly living like they're still on probation with God. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Romans 8:1
"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."

Question
God, what does ‘no condemnation’ change about how I get to live today?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about what real strength looks like in hard times.
When life feels heavy and you're running on empty, the last thing you need is another push to try harder. In this short episode, Jen opens up 2 Corinthians 12:9 and reminds us that real strength in hard seasons doesn't come from working up more willpower — it comes from God's grace, which is already sufficient for whatever you're carrying today. This is your Christian encouragement for the week: you don't have to be unshakeable to trust that he is. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
2 Corinthians 12:9
"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

Question
God, I'm aware of my weakness, but I wanna be more aware of your grace. What grace do you offer me today?
