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.

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.

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.

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.

When spending time in God’s Word feels impossible to fit into your busy routine, how do you move past the guilt and find a rhythm that actually works? In this episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, Jaime and Alana return for part two of their series on overcoming "Bible blocks," offering highly practical, everyday solutions to get you back in the Word.

What happens when we stop coasting on past knowledge and start craving Scripture? Jaime and Alana unpack creative, actionable strategies to seamlessly incorporate the Bible into your day. We explore the power of "habit stacking," the freedom of leaning into your unique learning style—whether auditory, visual, or tactile.

Along the way, they share personal insights—from the unexpected benefits of physical movement while meditating, to the surprising ways reading fiction can deepen your understanding of the Bible's grand story.

Whether you need the convenience of an audio Bible, a fresh approach to memorization, or just permission to enjoy a cup of coffee while you read, we hope you’ll join us as we discover grace-filled, practical ways to connect with God every single day.

How do you find faith when you feel entirely overwhelmed by opposition and seemingly alone in your struggles? In this devotional on Psalm 56, we walk through David’s raw plea for rescue, shifting our focus from our immediate problems to the awe-inspiring backdrop of God's power.

We explore the tender imagery of God storing our tears not in a delicate vial, but in a rugged, stretching wineskin. Jaime shares her unique insight into how this wineskin acts as a powerful symbol of our God-given resilience. We dive into the beautiful reality that God literally carries us through dark times, showing the enemy that through His strength, we stretch instead of shrink under pressure.

Join host Jaime on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of prayer and scriptural truth. Come ready to surrender your fears, find refuge in the God who intimately carries your tears, and boldly declare His already-won victory over your life today.

How do you find true peace when you are constantly juggling the demands of life and wrestling with anxiety?

This week, author and photographer Autumn Schoeck joins Jaime for an honest conversation on trading exhaustion for rest, based on her new devotional, This Feels Like Home: Inspirations for Finding Peace.

In this episode, Autumn reflects on her profoundly personal journey through the painful trial of infertility, and how it ultimately drove her into a life-changing reliance on God.

Autumn also tackles the heavy burden of trying to control life's outcomes, offering the gentle reminder that we are "significant, but not sovereign." She provides profound insight into why we shouldn't "steal the struggle" from our loved ones, and opens up about the beautiful freedom found in regularly confessing our shortcomings.

You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on prayer, discovering how taking your doubts and fears to a loving Father can transform a dutiful routine into a deeply intimate relationship.

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 shift our focus from the paralyzing fear of being hunted to the bold realization of God's protection, exploring the biblical mandate to ask God to intervene and how our prayers genuinely move His heart.

We explore what it means to take shelter under the shadow of the Almighty's wings when the world feels chaotic. Moving past our own immediate comfort, we dive into the deeper call of intercession: standing in the gap for those currently trapped in literal and spiritual war zones, and uncovering the profound, global impact of our collective prayers.

Join host Jaime on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of prayer and scriptural truth. If you are navigating a season of intense fear, feeling overwhelmed by global events, or simply need a reminder that God answers when we boldly ask, this episode offers a powerful shift in perspective.

Come ready to lift up the burdens of the world, intercede for the vulnerable, and declare the unshakeable refuge of the Lord over your life.
