In Episode 7 of the Mary Series, we step into one of the most relatable and tender moments of Mary’s story. The road to Bethlehem.

Mary’s obedience leads her into discomfort, displacement, and a journey she never would have chosen. Nine months pregnant, tired, and stretched, she travels a long and painful road, not because it was easy, but because it was ordained.

This episode is for every woman walking an uncomfortable path. The road that feels longer than expected. The season that looks nothing like you imagined. The obedience that feels more like inconvenience than peace.

Together, we explore the truth that difficult roads do not mean wrong roads, that discomfort often prepares us for delivery, and that God is present even when He feels silent.

As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, Mary invites us to trust God one step at a time, believing that purpose is being formed even in the movement.

Your road is not random.
God is in the movement.
Come to the well.

In this powerful episode of the Faith for Women podcast, we enter one of the most sacred realities of the Christian life: spiritual formation in hidden seasons.

Through the life of Mary, we explore what it means to carry Christ quietly before anything is visible. Mary did not rush, strive, or perform. She allowed God to form something holy within her long before the world ever saw it. This episode speaks directly to Christian women navigating motherhood, identity, leadership, calling, grief, healing, and seasons where nothing seems to be changing on the outside.

You will discover why God does His deepest work in secret, how your inner world shapes your outer reality, and why some breakthroughs cannot appear until they are first formed within you. We talk about the protection, rest, and trust required for true spiritual growth, and how Christ is formed in your character, subconscious, and faith before fruit is released.

If you have ever felt unseen, stretched, or confused in your calling, this episode will anchor you in truth. Your hidden season is not wasted. You are carrying Christ.

Welcome back, beautiful sister, to Stories of Faith here at Faith for Women, where we draw near to living water and let Jesus tend to the thirsty places inside of us 🌿

Today’s episode is Holy Ground. We are stepping into Mary’s praise, the very first worship song of the New Covenant. A young woman, carrying God Himself, opens her mouth and heaven responds.

Picture Mary standing in Elizabeth’s home. Her heart is steady. Her spirit is awake. Her womb is full of promise. She has moved from trembling surrender into confident praise. With one breath she releases words that will echo through generations. Words that shift atmospheres. Words that pull heaven to earth. Words that magnify God and shrink every fear.

“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”

This is not light worship. This is warfare.

Worship is not something we do after God moves. Worship is agreement. Mary worshiped before she saw anything. Before answers. Before fulfillment. Before understanding how her story would unfold. Because worship reveals belief.

In this episode we explore how what you magnify will govern your life. Fear grows when it is magnified. Doubt expands when it is rehearsed. But when God is magnified, your inner world shifts, your nervous system settles, your identity strengthens, and your future reshapes.

Mary teaches us that worship is not denial. It is dominion.

This conversation weaves together faith, motherhood, grief, waiting seasons, and real life. It is an invitation to shift your focus and let God become the largest thing in your world again.

What you magnify becomes your world.
Let God be the one you enlarge today 🤎

Today we step into one of the most sacred moments between two women in Scripture. The moment Mary walks into Elizabeth’s home and promise leaps. Before Mary could speak her calling, Elizabeth recognized it. Before Mary felt confident, she was confirmed. Before she carried courage, she carried companionship.

This episode invites you into a deeper truth:

Spiritual women recognize spiritual promise.
And every woman carrying something holy needs someone who makes her promise leap.

Inside this episode we explore:
• Why Mary needed an atmosphere that awakened her calling
• How the subconscious is shaped by the voices we repeat
• Why some environments suffocate promise while others strengthen it
• How God sends “Elizabeths” to speak identity when confidence is still forming
• The sacred discernment of who draws out your destiny… and who drains it

You will be asked to pause and reflect:
Who in your life makes your promise leap?
And who quietly silences the very thing God placed inside you?

We close with a prayer of alignment. That God would surround you with holy friendships, prophetic encouragers, and women who see heaven’s fingerprint on your life before the fruit ever shows.

Take a deep breath, sister.

Your promise needs the right people. Your calling needs spiritual midwives.
And heaven knows exactly who you’re meant to walk with.

Come listen. Come drink. Come be awakened.

Today, inside our Mary Mini-Series, we step into one of the most sacred moments in all of Scripture ... a moment where heaven paused and the entire story of redemption hinged on one teenage girl’s quiet yes.

Mary stood before Gabriel with trembling hands and a listening spirit. She didn’t have clarity. She didn’t have certainty. She didn’t have approval from people.
She had only a promise — and she surrendered to it.

In this episode we explore what biblical surrender really is:
• Not defeat, but agreement with heaven
• Not passivity, but activation of destiny
• Not giving up, but aligning with divine power
• Not losing control, but opening the womb of calling

We walk through the layers of Mary’s yes, the subconscious acceptance that conceived promise, and the way surrender expands rather than shrinks your life. Jenn also shares personal stories of surrender through motherhood, grief, trading, calling, and seasons that tested her faith.

This is the kind of surrender that births destiny.
May a holy yes rise in you as you listen.
Let it be unto you according to His word.

Mary’s story does not begin with obedience. It begins with identity.

In this opening episode of our Advent Mary Mini-Series, we slow down and step into the quiet of Nazareth...where a teenage girl, unseen by the world but chosen by heaven, receives the words that would echo through eternity:
“Greetings, you who are highly favored. The Lord is with you.”

Before Mary ever carried Jesus in her womb, she carried favor in her subconscious. Heaven spoke identity before it spoke assignment, because your identity must anchor you before your calling stretches you.

Inside this episode we explore:
• Why favor feels harder to receive than disappointment
• How Mary’s inner world had to agree with heaven before she could carry a promise
• How the subconscious accepts what you deeply believe about yourself
• Why identity must precede surrender, obedience, and calling
• The places where shame has convinced us we are unworthy, unseen, or forgotten

We end with a prayer of favor spoken over every woman, and a declaration to anchor this truth in your inner world:

I am highly favored.
God is with me.
I am chosen for something holy.
Favor goes before me.

As you step into Advent, may your heart become a home for God’s promises.
Join us next episode as we enter Mary’s holy surrender:
“Let it be unto me according to Your word.”

In this final episode of our Gratitude Series, we go deeper than emotion, deeper than positive thinking, deeper than shifting a mood. Today we uncover the truth that gratitude is prophetic. It releases heaven’s language into the earth.

Inside this episode we explore:

• How gratitude doesn’t just open the gates of His presence, it ushers you into His courts
• Why thanking God in faith is not pretending, but prophesying
• How your gratitude echoes Romans 4:17. Calling things that are not as though they were
• The way heaven responds when your thanksgiving becomes a decree
• Why prophetic gratitude turns testimonies into seeds for your next miracle

We sit with stories like the widow in 2 Kings 4 whose oil never ran dry, and we learn how her obedience ... her prophetic posture mirrors what happens when we praise before we see the promise.

Gratitude isn’t just a feeling. It’s a key.
And prophecy flows from a thankful heart.
