This episode is a little different.

After building By The Book as a space to explore purpose, calling, and what it means to build something with God at the centre, it has become clear that these conversations were never meant to stand alone.

They belong within a wider story.

In this episode, Johanne shares why By The Book is moving into its next chapter — and how the themes of discernment, surrender, and steady, Scripture-led living will now continuewithin She Rises.

This is not an ending, but a gathering. A bringing together ofconversations around faith, life, and purpose in the second season.

If you’ve been listening and quietly holding an idea, a calling, or something you’ve been meaning to begin — this episode is also an invitation.

You may already have more than you think.

In this episode:

• Why By The Book is coming to a natural point of completion

• How purpose, work, and calling sit within the wider context of life and faith

• What it means to recognise when something is ready to move forward

• Why you may already have everything you need to begin

• The importance of building steadily, not reactively

• Where the conversation continues next

By The Book is a Christian podcast for women in midlife navigating calling, faith, purpose, and God-led work in their second season.

Hosted by Johanne Hewlett.

Not every quiet season means something is ending, and not every slowdown means something is wrong.

In this episode, Johanne Hewlett explores how to discern whether God is inviting surrender or preparation when progress feels hidden.

We talk about naming seasons, recognising internal formation, and why Scripture consistently shows God working beneath the surface before visible change.

If you feel stuck between letting go and waiting, this conversation offers clarity without pressure.

Topics:

• Hidden seasons in Christian life

• Surrender vs preparation discernment

• Waiting on God without fear

• Internal growth vs external progress

• Naming midlife transitions with wisdom

Until next time —go gently, go boldly, and go By The Book.

By The Book is a Christian podcast for women in midlife navigating calling, faith, purpose, and God-led work in theirsecond season. Hosted by Johanne Hewlett.

Some surrender happens at the beginning. Some happens after faithfulness.

In this episode, Johanne Hewlett explores the kind of surrender that arrives in midlife — when God asks you to release something that once felt like part of the promise.

Through the lens of Abraham and Isaac, we talk about attachment, identity, grief, and the quiet cost of obedience. This is not surrender as correction, but surrender as transfer — placing even good things back into God’s hands.

If you’re navigating disappointment, transition, or unexpected redirection, this episode offers language for trusting God when obedience feels costly.

Topics:

• Christian surrender in midlife• Letting go of God-given dreams• Faith and grief after obedience• Attachment vs trust• What comes after surrender

Until next time —go gently, go boldly, and go By The Book.
