This week on the Her and Jesus Podcast, Isabel shares a powerful lesson that completely changed the way she prays, makes decisions, and follows God. For years, Isabel found herself asking God to bless her plans, bless her goals, bless her ambitions, and bless the things she wanted. But everything changed when she stopped asking God to bless her will and started asking a different question: "God, what is Your will?" In this episode, Isabel dives into the difference between pursuing what we want versus surrendering to what God wants. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and practical encouragement, she shares how true peace, fulfillment, and purpose are found when we stop striving and start trusting God's plan for our lives. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ Why success without God can still leave you empty ✨The difference between God's will and our own desires ✨Counterfeit blessings and spiritual deception ✨What Jesus teaches about surrender and obedience ✨Learning to trust God's timing and direction ✨Why peace is often a sign of God's leading ✨How social media can distract us from God's purpose ✨The importance of hearing God's voice for yourself ✨Letting go of what God is asking you to release ✨Trusting God's plan even when it doesn't make sense If you've been feeling restless, confused, stuck, or wondering whether you're truly walking in God's will, this episode is for you. Because sometimes the breakthrough isn't found in getting more of what you want. It's found in surrendering to what God wants. 🎙️ Like, comment, subscribe, and share this episode with a friend who needs this encouragement today.

This week on the Her and Jesus Podcast, Isabel dives into Psalm 25 and shares a powerful reminder about what it really means to surrender our hearts to God, trust His direction, and allow Him to transform us through every season. So often, we pray for God to change our circumstances, remove the difficulties, or show us what's next. But what if the very thing we're asking God to take away is something He's using to develop us? What if instead of asking, "God, why is this happening to me?" we started asking, "Lord, what are You trying to teach me through this?" Walking with Jesus isn't just about seeking His blessings or asking Him for direction. It's about having a heart that's humble enough to receive correction, willing enough to surrender, and faithful enough to trust Him even when the process is uncomfortable. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ What Psalm 25 teaches us about surrender and trusting God ✨ Why God sometimes develops us through difficult circumstances ✨ The importance of examining our hearts and motives daily ✨ How to recognize when pride is getting in the way of God's direction ✨ Why humility is essential to spiritual growth ✨ The difference between the Holy Spirit's conviction and the enemy's condemnation ✨ How rejection, offense, and emotional triggers can reveal areas that need healing ✨ Guarding your heart against resentment, comparison, and unforgiveness ✨ Why surrounding yourself with godly community matters ✨ Learning to walk in obedience, integrity, and faith even when it's difficult Maybe you've been asking God for clarity, a breakthrough, or a change in your circumstances. But today, He may be inviting you into something deeper: a surrendered heart. A heart that doesn't just want His answers, but wants His wisdom. A heart that doesn't just seek His hand, but desires to know Him more intimately. Sometimes the greatest transformation isn't what God changes around you. It's what He changes within you. 🤍 Our prayer is that this episode encourages you to slow down, examine your heart, and invite the Holy Spirit into every area of your life. "Search me, God, and know my heart." Psalm 139:23
This week on the Her and Jesus Podcast, Isabel shares what it really looks like to live for an audience of One and why true freedom begins when we stop seeking people's approval and start living to please God. We live in a world obsessed with recognition, validation, numbers, and being seen. But what happens when the applause stops? When God calls you to do something nobody understands? Or when obedience requires you to walk away from what everyone else expects of you? Walking with Jesus means choosing His approval over the world's applause, even when it costs you comfort, recognition, or acceptance. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ What it means to live for an audience of One ✨ Breaking free from people-pleasing and the need for validation ✨ Why being visible doesn't mean you're being valuable ✨ Choosing obedience when people don't understand your assignment ✨ What Noah teaches us about faith without recognition ✨ The danger of turning your relationship with God into a performance ✨ Why your private obedience matters more than your public reputation ✨ Honoring God through your work, business, and everyday life ✨ Learning to embrace seasons of rest, building, and consecration ✨ Finding freedom in God's approval instead of people's opinions Maybe you've been so focused on what people think, what they'll say, or whether they'll support you that you've forgotten to ask the most important question: God, are You pleased with how I'm living? You weren't created to spend your life proving yourself to people. You were created to know Jesus, glorify Him, and walk in obedience to what He's called you to do. Stop trading eternal purpose for temporary applause. Because at the end of it all, the goal isn't for people to see how great you are. It's for people to see how great your God is through you. 🤍 🎙️ Like, comment, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs the reminder that they don't need the world's validation to walk in God's calling.
This week on the Her and Jesus Podcast, Isabel shares what it looks like to trust God when the weapon has formed, the storm is real, and what you’re walking through doesn’t make sense. Following Jesus doesn’t mean we won’t face opposition, pressure, betrayal, difficult seasons, or spiritual battles. Scripture never promises that the weapon won’t form. But when our eyes are fixed on Jesus, we can trust that the weapon does not get the final say. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ Trusting God in the middle of the storm ✨ Why difficult seasons don’t mean you’re outside of God’s will ✨ What Joseph’s story teaches us about betrayal and God’s sovereignty ✨ Keeping your heart pure when people rise against you ✨ Why the weapon may form, but it won’t prosper ✨ Focusing on God’s victory instead of the opposition ✨ How pressure can increase your strength and capacity ✨ Taking negative thoughts captive and renewing your mind ✨ Trusting God instead of your feelings ✨ Why you don’t have to perform to earn God’s presence or love Maybe you’re facing something right now that feels like opposition. Maybe the pressure is increasing, the battle feels heavy, or you’re wondering why God is allowing you to walk through it. Don’t become so focused on the weapon that you forget Who already has the victory over it. God is still in control. He is still fighting for you. And even what was intended for evil, He can use for good and for His glory. The weapon may be formed, but it WON’T prosper. 🤍 🎙️ Like, comment, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs the reminder that the enemy does not get the final say.
This week on the Her and Jesus Podcast, Isabel shares a reminder we all need: our relationship with God was never meant to be seasonal. It can be easy to seek God when we’re waiting for an answer, believing for a miracle, or walking through a difficult season. But what happens when the prayer gets answered? When the doors open? When life gets busy and everything is finally going well? God doesn’t only want to be the One we run to when we need something. He wants our hearts in every season. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ Seeking God in both the valleys and the mountaintops ✨ Why our relationship with God should never be seasonal ✨ Seeking God’s heart instead of only seeking His hand ✨ Putting God first when life gets busy ✨ Inviting the Holy Spirit into every area of your life ✨ How to recognize when something has taken God’s place in your heart ✨ Discerning what God is doing in your current season ✨ Seeking God for who He is, not only for what He can give us ✨ Staying close to God after the prayer has been answered ✨ Why Jesus Himself is the promise Seasons change. Circumstances change. Your schedule will change. There will be mountaintops, valleys, waiting, pruning, celebration, transition, grief, and greatness. But He remains the same. Don’t just seek God until the breakthrough comes. Don’t just seek Him until the prayer gets answered. Seek Him because He is God. Seek Him because you love Him. Seek Him because He is worthy. 🤍 🎙️ Like, comment, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs the reminder to seek God in every season.
This week on the Her and Jesus Podcast, Isabel dives into Daniel 6 and what happens when obedience leads you straight into a battle you never expected to fight. Following Jesus doesn’t mean we’ll never face lions. Obedience doesn’t guarantee comfort, and difficulty doesn’t mean God has abandoned you. Daniel’s faith didn’t keep him out of the lion’s den, but his relationship with God prepared him to face it. And the same God who was with Daniel in the den is with you in whatever you’re facing today. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ What Daniel 6 teaches us about obedience and bold faith ✨ Why following God doesn’t guarantee a comfortable life ✨ Trusting God when the battle feels bigger than you ✨ Why you shouldn’t wait for the lion’s den to build intimacy with God ✨ How your private relationship with God prepares you for public battles ✨ Choosing obedience even when it costs your comfort ✨ Fighting from a place of victory instead of fear ✨ Why the presence of a battle doesn’t mean God has abandoned you ✨ Repentance and obedience as a lifestyle ✨ Trusting God to fight battles that were never yours to carry Maybe there’s a lion in your life right now. Maybe you’re looking at something that feels impossible, intimidating, or completely beyond your strength. But the lion doesn’t get the final word. God does. Stop fighting in your own strength. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, stay obedient, and remember: you are not fighting for victory. You are fighting from a place of victory. 🤍 🎙️ Like, comment, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs to be reminded that the battle belongs to the Lord.
