Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 60 — a raw, honest lament born out of being surrounded on all sides, where David dares to say You did this, God — and still picks up the banner and calls Him Lord. Jaime unpacks the historical backdrop of David fighting enemies to the north, east, and south all at once, and shares a breathtaking story from her years near Death Valley — where barren, salt-crusted flats that look permanently dead suddenly erupted into a once-in-a-century bloom of purple wildflowers. Sometimes the victory is already buried right beneath the most hopeless-looking ground, waiting for God's rain to bring it to life. We also dig into the striking echo of Moses in Exodus 33 — when God offered the promised land without His presence, and Moses said no deal. David carries that same heart here: deliverance by man is in vain, and the land is just dirt without the God who makes it flourish. Come ready to look at your own salt flats — the silence, the barrenness, the places that feel cracked and pointless — and let this psalm remind you that there are seeds of life lying dormant beneath every one of them. Because He is the water. He is the banner. And He is the only reason the bloom comes.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!What do you do when God gives you a miracle — and then it looks like He's taken it away? This week, musician, author, and worship artist Kristen Rickards joins Jaime for an honest and hope-filled conversation about trusting God through seasons of devastating loss, unexplainable health battles, and the kind of waiting that tests everything you thought you believed. In this episode, Kristen shares her journey from child actress and pageant winner to Christian worship leader and author — and the painful season of two miscarriages and a health crisis that nearly shook her faith to its core. She opens up about what it felt like to be angry with God, to pull back from prayer, and the moment she realized she couldn't stay in that place for long. Kristen also unpacks the powerful story of the Shunammite woman from 2 Kings — a mother who watched her promised son die and still declared "all is well" as she ran toward the man of God — and how that story mirrors the faith required when our own dreams look dead. She reminds us that God doesn't punish us for our doubt; He rewards us for our faith, even when it's only the size of a mustard seed. You'll walk away encouraged that no pain is wasted, that it's okay to come to God imperfectly, and that the dreams you've written off may be exactly what He's about to breathe life into again.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!How do you keep singing when enemies surround you and fear closes in on all sides? Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 59 — a deeply personal cry for deliverance that moves from terror to triumph, anchored in the unshakeable truth that God is our fortress no matter how thin the walls around us feel. Jaime walks through David's harrowing reality — surrounded at night by men sent to kill him — and shares a vivid story from her experience at a safari in Kenya's Maasai Mara, where the sound of circling lions in the dark brought this ancient psalm to life in the most visceral way. Sometimes God is the only thing standing between you and what's closing in. We also explore the surprising tension in David's prayer — asking God not to destroy his enemies outright, but to scatter them as living witnesses of His power, while still crying out for ultimate justice. And through it all, the refrain that carries the whole psalm: as for me, I will sing. Come ready to name what's surrounding you, find refuge in the God who is your stronghold even when your "tent" feels paper-thin, and make the bold, faith-filled decision to sing His praises before your heart fully catches up — because that's exactly what David did.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!How do you begin to heal when the people closest to you are the ones who wounded you the most? This week, author, speaker, and Collide ministry founder Willow Weston joins Jaime for a raw and powerful conversation about running toward pain instead of away from it, based on her new book, Collide: Running Into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt. In this episode, Willow shares her deeply personal story of growing up in a home marked by addiction and abandonment, and how a moment of hiding in a closet from her own mother became the catalyst for a healing journey she never expected. Willow also unpacks the beautiful tension between letting God heal us and actively participating in our own healing — reminding us that wholeness requires both surrender and a willingness to move. She offers a refreshing challenge to the "sweep it under the rug" approach to pain, pointing to a Jesus who never once avoided someone's mess but made a beeline straight for it. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of how unresolved wounds quietly travel through our relationships, and why giving yourself permission to name your pain — and invite God into it — is the bravest step toward becoming more whole than broken.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! How do you hold on to hope when injustice surrounds you and the wicked seem to prevail? Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 58 — a raw, honest plea for justice that shifts our focus from the overwhelming corruption in the world to the unshakable truth that God is still on the throne. Jaime walks through the striking imagery of dangerous, deaf cobras and the sudden fire of thorns — and shares a powerful insight: God doesn't just stop the enemy's current attacks. He acts as a whirlwind, sweeping away the kindling of their plans before the fire can even start, rendering their venom completely powerless. We also dive into the beautiful duality of praying boldly for the defeat of wicked plots while holding out hope for the radical redemption of those in authority — because God's justice leaves room for both. Come ready to lay down your frustrations about the state of the world, find peace in the God who executes perfect justice, and boldly declare that there is indeed a reward for the righteous — today.

How do you cope when you feel completely surrounded by hostility, desperately seeking a safe haven from the destruction passing by? In this devotional on Psalm 57, we walk through David’s earnest prayer for rescue—written while he was hiding in a cave, fleeing for his life from King Saul.

We explore what it means to take shelter under the shadow of the Almighty's wings when the world feels chaotic.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!When the desire to spend time in God’s Word feels more like a heavy obligation than a joyful habit, how do you get back on track—and why do we carry so much guilt when we fall behind? In this episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, Jaime and Alana reunite to tackle a struggle that impacts almost every believer: making daily Bible reading a consistent reality. What starts as a simple lack of interest or the temptation to "coast" on past spiritual knowledge can quickly form towering "Bible blocks." Through honest and candid conversation, Jaime and Alana unpack the hidden obstacles keeping us from Scripture. We explore how decision fatigue, physical limitations, and the pressure to study the "right way" can paralyze our quiet times, and why envying someone else’s 5 a.m. discipline might be missing the point entirely. Along the way, they share personal stories—from memorable first Bibles to the sometimes unpredictable results of playing "Bible roulette." Whether you are overwhelmed by where to start or simply need a reminder that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to quiet time, we hope you’ll join us as we learn to strip away the expectations of others and discover a genuine, grace-filled way to connect with God through His Word.
