Sometimes the most important conversations can’t be wrapped up in a single episode.

In this episode of Saved You a Seat, Joni, Rose and Tammy begin an honest and thoughtful conversation about what it really means to hear from God. Not the polished version but the real, everyday experience of trying to discern His voice in the middle of life and business.

If you’ve ever wondered, Was that God… or just me? You’re not alone.

This is Part 1 of the conversation, and we’re just getting started. Be sure to come back for Part 2 next week, where we go even deeper.

In This Conversation, We Talk About:

• What “hearing God” actually looks like in real life

• Why discernment can feel confusing or uncertain

• The tension between faith, fear, and decision-making

• Honest questions Christian creatives are asking

Creative work can feel incredibly isolating.

So much of what we create happens behind the scenes—alone at a desk, late at night, or quietly wondering if anyone truly sees or understands the work God has placed on our hearts.

But isolation was never God’s design.

In this episode of Saved You a Seat, Racquel and the panel talk honestly about what it looks like to find and build meaningful creative community. Whether you’re longing for connection, navigating past hurts, or unsure where you belong, this conversation offers encouragement, perspective, and practical next steps.

Because you were never meant to carry your calling alone.

• Seasons of feeling alone in your creative calling
• Why community can feel risky (and how to move forward anyway)
• What a healthy, life-giving creative community actually looks like
• Biblical truth about connection, belonging, and encouragement
• Simple, practical ways to begin finding or building community

Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 (NIV) “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.”

Hebrews 10:24–25 (NIV) “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together… but encouraging one another.”

New episodes of Saved You a Seat release on the third Thursday of each month. Make sure you’re subscribed so you never miss a conversation.

Welcome to Episode 9 of the Saved You a Seat Podcast! We’re a group of women who love Jesus, value creativity, and want to talk honestly about what it looks like to follow God in the middle of everyday life.

In today’s episode, host Michele Wilbert is joined by Racquel Lopez and ChanMi Jung for a thoughtful conversation about pivoting in our creative callings. Whether it’s launching something new, letting go of something we’ve invested deeply in, or sensing a subtle shift in direction, these moments can feel unsettling.

We share personal stories of starting again, stopping something meaningful, and navigating the tension between planning and trusting God to establish our steps. If you’ve ever wondered whether you heard God correctly—or wrestled with what others might think when you change course—this episode will encourage you to anchor your decisions in discernment rather than fear.

Meet the Voices Around the Table:

• Michele Wilbert – host and creative mentor
• Racquel Lopez – founder of Fun Free & Flourishing
• ChanMi Jung – writer and spiritual mentor

💬 What We Talked About:

• What “pivoting” looks like in a creative calling
• Real stories of stopping, starting over, or shifting direction
• How to discern whether a change is fear-driven or Spirit-led
• Why stopping doesn’t equal failure in God’s economy
• Cultivating discernment in community and in solitude
• Learning to commit plans to the Lord and trust Him to establish our steps

Practical Encouragement:

“Stopping, starting again, or changing direction doesn’t mean you failed. Sometimes the pivot is the very place obedience begins.”

Scripture Shared:

• Proverbs 16:3 (NIV) – “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”
• Proverbs 16:9 (NIV) – “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”
• Psalm 32:8 – “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”
