Today's conversation with Jodian is so heartwarming and packed with insights that can help to heal and propel you into the journey of surrendering all to Christ.

What if the doorway to your purpose sits on the other side of grief, obedience, and a leap you never planned to take? We sit down with author, life coach, and NLP practitioner Jodian Hutchinson to explore a courageous journey from rejection and loss to healing, clarity, and a faith that moves her life forward. Her testimony is raw and hope-filled: writing became therapy, obedience relocated her from Jamaica to Florida, and surrender turned broken moments into fresh color outside the crayon box.

We unpack the identity shift from “black sheep” to chosen, and how telling the truth on paper exposes patterns we’ve excused for years. Jodian shares the heartbreak of miscarriage and the confronting realization of hidden idols, then shows how surrender transformed anger into alignment. The “Abraham moment” of moving into the unknown cost comfort and proximity, yet rebuilt endurance and trust. Along the way, a simple phrase—broken crayons still color—becomes a lens for seeing beauty in what once felt unusable.

Then we get practical. As a certified life coach and NLP practitioner, Jodian breaks down how renewing the mind works at ground level: reframing thoughts, changing language, and healing behaviors shaped by trauma. We talk about teens acting out, adults carrying teenage wounds, and how spiritual formation and mental tools work together to dismantle shame and build capacity for the blessings we pray for—especially in love, boundaries, and readiness for a partner who truly reflects Christlike care.

If you’re wrestling with a hard yes, grieving a closed door, or craving a reset that sticks, this conversation offers both compass and courage.

What if the place you’d rather leave is the exact ground where God is shaping your future? We explore a raw season of working a new part-time job that didn’t feel like a “fit,” and how small, timely graces—helpful teammates, kind leaders, and even a customer’s compliment—reframed everything. Instead of labeling the assignment as punishment, we unpack how Romans 8:28 becomes a lived posture: all things are being woven for good when we choose obedience, pay attention to favor, and let humility do its deep work.

You’ll hear how unexpected feedback can steady a weary heart and why naming grace matters as much as naming struggle. We talk about the uncomfortable ways pride gets exposed and how God answers prayers for growth by sending real situations that stretch us. This is the slow, hidden formation most of us avoid, yet it’s where character is built and purpose is clarified. Reflection becomes a key practice, helping us recognize patterns of provision we missed in the moment and teaching us to harvest meaning from ordinary days.

If you’re feeling stuck or unseen, this conversation offers a gentle but direct reminder: your current station isn’t random, and your impact isn’t on hold. Purpose is practiced where your feet are—at the counter, in the meeting, during the commute. As we lean into obedience and gratitude, we become living pages others can read, pointing beyond ourselves to the One who sustains. Listen, share with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a quick review so more people can find hope right where they are.

What if the place you least expected to be is the exact ground where God is growing you for what’s next? Today we open up about obeying the nudge to go—even when “go” looks ordinary, uncomfortable, or hidden from public view. From the reality of taking a part-time job to the deeper work of learning who God is to us in hard seasons, we explore how obedience reshapes our timelines, tempers our pride, and teaches us to trust timing over optics.

We walk through three big questions—why this, when does it end, and what comes next—and share how the Holy Spirit forms a quiet knowing when a season is complete. Instead of forcing doors, we talk about waiting for the right open door, the kind that comes with grace, not grind. Along the way, we get practical: how to show up as your authentic self, serve people like you’re serving God, and let the fruit of the Spirit set the tone at work and at home. Excellence in the small becomes a pathway to purpose, and impact looks like consistent love, patience, and peace that people actually miss when you’re not in the room.

You’ll also hear how God confirms mission and vision in due time, often through untapped gifts and newly awakened passion. We name the temptation to rush and replace it with a posture of joy—choosing to delight in the now so we don’t miss what God is doing right here. If you’re navigating career shifts, wrestling with timing, or craving clarity about your next step, this conversation offers grounded encouragement, spiritual discernment, and simple practices you can carry into tomorrow morning.

If this spoke to you, share it with a friend, hit follow, and leave a quick review so more people can find the show. What’s your next faithful step you’re taking this week?
