Episode Summary In this deeply vulnerable continuation of Jen’s story, she opens up about a chapter she’s rarely shared in full—the reality behind her first marriage. What began as a whirlwind decision just before an unexpected season of grief and transition quickly became something far more complicated. Jen walks through the early red flags, the emotional confusion of loving someone while feeling unsafe, and the slow escalation from tension to control, and eventually, physical harm. She shares the internal battle so many women face—trying to make it work, minimizing the warning signs, carrying shame, and questioning her own strength. From hiding the truth from family and friends to wrestling with faith, identity, and loss, this episode reveals how easy it can be to stay… even when something feels deeply wrong. But it also tells the story of the moment everything shifted—the line that was finally crossed, the decision to leave, and the courage it took to choose herself. Jamie and Jen gently unpack: Why toxic relationships are rarely “all bad” How grief, youth, and identity can blur discernment The difference between physical and emotional wounds—and how both leave lasting marks The role of shame in keeping women silent What it looks like to finally say, “enough” This episode is raw, honest, and incredibly important—for anyone who has walked through something similar, or loves someone who has. At its core, it’s a story of survival, clarity, and the beginning of healing.

Devoted: Running the Race
In this episode, we start with a simple weekend recap—date nights, family time, and a special baptism—but quickly find ourselves in a deeper conversation about motherhood, faith, and the weight of raising children to know God. We talk through the tension of wanting to guide our kids well while also releasing control, trusting that God loves them even more than we do. From navigating big decisions like school and spiritual growth, to unpacking our own upbringing in church culture, this conversation is honest, unfiltered, and rooted in grace. Jennifer also shares about completing her 24th half marathon—running not just for physical endurance, but as an act of surrender, healing, and faith. Through grief, loss, and life’s unexpected turns, running has become a powerful reminder of what it means to keep going and trust God with every step. We reflect on how easy it is to give things to God—and how much harder it is to leave them there. Whether it’s our children, our decisions, or even this podcast, we’re reminded that faith isn’t just in the letting go… it’s in the trusting after. This episode is for anyone learning to release control, embrace grace, and keep running their race—one step at a time.

Jen’s Journey: Sudden Loss, Hidden Truths, God’s Grace

Jen’s Journey: Sudden Loss, Hidden Truths, God’s Grace
In this episode of Jen’s Journey, we pick back up in one of the heaviest seasons of Jen’s life. What felt like a normal weekend quickly turned into everything changing—losing her dad in a sudden motorcycle accident, and not long after, walking through another loss that still carries weight today. We sit in that moment for a bit… the confusion, the questions, and the reality of being 22 and trying to process grief that doesn’t make sense. Jen also shares something she had been carrying quietly—being married and not telling anyone—and what it looked like to finally say it out loud in the middle of everything else going on. This conversation isn’t wrapped up neatly. It’s honest. It’s layered. It’s still unfolding. But through it, you can see how God was present—even in the shock, even in the silence, even in the decisions that didn’t come from a perfect place. If you’ve ever walked through loss that felt like too much all at once, or seasons where your life didn’t look how you thought it would… you’re not alone in that. We’re just telling the story as it happened—and trusting God with the rest. Disclaimer This podcast reflects personal experiences and faith-based perspectives.

Devoted: Think on These Things
In this Devoted episode, Jamie and Jen continue their walk through Philippians 4, focusing on one of the most practical verses in Scripture: “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure… think about these things.” From spiraling down news and social media rabbit holes to navigating anxiety, mom guilt, and everyday frustrations, they talk honestly about the battle for our minds and how easily we can get pulled away from what is true. Through personal stories, real-life struggles, and encouragement from Scripture, this conversation explores how shifting our focus back to Christ can rewire the spiral of negative thoughts and bring peace back to our hearts. They also reflect on the importance of real community in a digital world and how having trusted people in our lives can help remind us of truth when we lose sight of it. A reminder that peace often begins with one simple question: What am I choosing to think about? Disclaimer This podcast reflects personal experiences and faith-based perspectives.

Jen’s Journey: Eloping, Secrets, and the Call That Changed Everything
In this episode, Jen shares the next chapter of her story — the years following her mom’s first suicide attempt and the quiet ways it shaped her early adulthood. She opens up about growing up too fast, becoming the caretaker, coping through relationships and control, and making decisions in her early twenties that she now sees through a very different lens. What looked like independence on the outside was often survival on the inside. Jen vulnerably shares about eloping in secret, hiding it from her family, and trying to build a new life while still carrying the weight of everything happening at home. And just as she thought she was stepping into something new, a sudden phone call changed everything again. This episode is about trauma, shame, survival, and the grace of God in the middle of decisions we don’t always understand until years later. It’s about how unresolved pain follows us — and how healing can begin when we finally look back with honesty instead of judgment.

Jen's Journey: The Accident, Late Miscarriage, and Redemption
01/09/2026
Jen's Journey: The Accident, Late Miscarriage, and Redemption
The first week of January holds two sacred and sobering anniversaries for Jen—and it’s where her story begins. This episode marks 11 years since a catastrophic car accident that physically broke her body and forced her to stop running, and one year since the loss of her daughter, Lily, born at 17 weeks. Together, these moments frame a story not just of grief—but of redemption. In this raw and honest season opener, Jen shares how the accident that nearly took her life became the moment that slowed her down enough to face the pain and trauma she had been carrying. She reflects on years of layered loss—her parents, abuse, divorce, late miscarriages—and the long road of learning what it means to surrender control and choose healing instead of hiding. This conversation is not about quick fixes or faith that makes life easy. It’s about turning to the right things in the middle of it—choosing Christ, seeking help, renewing the mind, going to therapy, and allowing God to meet you in the mess. Jen speaks candidly about grief, guilt, shame, unanswered prayers, and the daily choice to keep standing when life doesn’t make sense. At the heart of this episode is redemption—not found in accomplishments, productivity, or “moving on,” but in presence, obedience, and hope in Christ. It’s about learning that peace doesn’t come from control, but from surrender, and that even after profound loss, God can still bring purpose, healing, and light. This episode is an invitation to start the new year differently—by being real, by choosing hope, and by trusting that even here, God is not done.

Happy Holidays, Mom Guilt, and Traditions in Grief
The holidays can be filled with magic—but they can also carry stress, grief, and complicated emotions. In this episode, Jamie and Jen sit down for an honest conversation about motherhood during the holiday season, navigating traditions, letting go of perfection, and holding space for both joy and loss. They open up about mom guilt, budgeting, changing family dynamics, grief during the holidays, and the pressure to “make everything perfect.” This episode is a reminder that Christmas doesn’t have to look a certain way to be meaningful. Presence matters more than presents, and it’s okay if this season feels heavy.

Reunited and It Feels So Good! (Grace, Forgiveness, and Reconciliation)
We kick off the episode with our usual chat about the day and a quick conversation about pivoting… but the heart of this episode is our family reunion after almost a decade apart. We talk about what it was like hosting everyone at Jamie’s house—and how emotional and meaningful it was for everyone to reunite—for the first time in nearly ten years. It was also the very first time they got to meet Jen’s daughter! We explore how some people process hurt or overwhelm by disconnecting, how grace gives space for healing, and what it looks like to stay open instead of closing off. We also talk about today’s “cut-off culture,” and why—while absolutely necessary in unsafe or harmful situations—it didn’t apply to our story. In this case, healing grew through humility, patience, and a door that never fully closed. A raw, hopeful episode about grace, family, and the beauty of coming back together after years apart.

In our very first episode, we jump right into… well, everything. From Jen’s husband stepping in dog poop first thing in the morning (and whether that automatically ruins your day) to conversations about mindset, humility, parenting moments with a 13-year-old, daily devotions, and how we filter popular self-help ideas through Scripture. This is our pilot — a little messy, a little chaotic, and totally us. We’re just getting our feet under us, figuring out the rhythm, and inviting you along as we learn out loud.
