What happens when the passing of time and the weight of getting older make you realize just how much you still need God’s rescue, and leave you wondering if you’ve done enough to pass your faith on to the next generation?
Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a heartfelt and reflective devotional on Psalm 71, a rich chapter titled the "Prayer of an Old Man for Deliverance" that weaves together a lifetime of God’s faithfulness from our earliest youth into our gray-haired years.
Reflecting on recently turning fifty and looking back across the distinct eras of her own life—from entering motherhood, to launching the podcast with Alana, to stepping into a brand-new calling teaching non-speaking individuals to communicate—Jaime explores how each season builds upon the last as an "Ebenezer" of God's goodness. She opens with a powerful perspective shift: thanking God even for our trials, inadequacies, and this fallen construct of time, because our helplessness serves as the very backdrop that magnifies His "enoughness" and turns our praise into a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy's lies.
As the psalmist pleads not to be cast off in old age before declaring God's strength to the coming generation, Jaime vulnerably shares her own parental urgency—and the temptation to feel regret over distracted, screen-filled moments at home. She offers a freeing word of encouragement for anyone feeling behind: refusing to let the enemy paralyze us with guilt, and treating this very second as the first moment of a brand-new beginning.
Come ready to throw off the paralyzing weight of past regret, the fear of aging and loss, and the overwhelm of life's increasing responsibilities. Let this episode remind you that it is never too late to plant seeds of faith in the lives of those around you. Because He is the Rock of habitation who has sustained you from your mother's womb, who revives you from the depths of the earth, and whose victorious story is already written with a glorious "Amen."

Do prayer traditions deepen our connection with God, or do they risk turning our faith into an empty routine?
In this episode, Jaime and Alana explore the beauty, evolution, and potential pitfalls of prayer and family traditions—especially as the holiday season approaches and our children grow older.
When family rhythms shift, kids leave the nest, or life simply gets too busy to keep up with the holiday countdowns we once loved, it’s easy to feel a sense of grief or regret over the traditions that have faded away. At the same time, within the church, believers often find themselves divided between the comforting rhythm of liturgy and the desire for spontaneous, heartfelt prayer. The co-hosts unpack 1 Corinthians 10:23–24, examining how to discern when a spiritual routine is drawing us closer to God and uniting us with the broader body of Christ, and when it might be slipping into legalism, pride, or superstition.
Through candid and relatable stories—from praying through the rooms of a new house and back-to-school prayer "spring cleanings" to church-wide fasting—Jaime and Alana share how their own personal and family prayer traditions have ebbed and flowed over the years. Jaime reflects on her growing appreciation for liturgical prayers and wrestling with whether repeating pre-game prayers for her son’s safety ever crosses the line into superstition, while Alana offers a freeing reminder that just like saying “I love you” in a marriage, prayer doesn’t always have to be spontaneous or emotionally charged to be meaningful and real.
Together, they encourage us to remember that traditions were made to serve us, not for us to become slaves to them. Whether you’re navigating an emptying nest, feeling guilty about not being a “traditions person,” or curious how different worship styles and liturgical practices can enrich your walk with Christ, we hope this episode brings you grace, freedom, and fresh inspiration for every season of your prayer life.

What happens when life’s emergencies feel like a roaring lion chasing you down, and you don't have the time or emotional energy for a long, polished prayer?
Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a timely and encouraging devotional on Psalm 70, a short, punchy chapter that gives us biblical permission to cut straight to the chase and cry out for God’s immediate rescue.
Acting as an urgent, standalone remix of the final verses of Psalm 40—much like singing the powerful chorus of a song on repeat—Psalm 70 strips away the formalities of structured prayer formats when crisis hits. Jaime explores the fascinating shift in Hebrew language within this passage, where David calls upon both Elohim—the mighty Creator who brings order out of chaos—and Yahweh—the deeply personal, covenant-keeping Father who knows His children by name.
Addressing the common fear that repeatedly begging God to hurry demonstrates a lack of faith, Jaime contrasts the beauty of persistent prayer against the danger of taking matters into our own hands like Abram and Sarai. She reminds us that just like the persistent widow in the Gospels, knocking urgently on heaven's door is actually what keeps us anchored in trust rather than scrambling to force our own solutions.
Come ready to lay down your most time-sensitive burdens—the pressing crises, the relentless opposition, and the desperate moments where you feel like time is running out. Let this episode remind you that crying out "Lord, do not delay!" is not an act of doubt, but an invitation for our Deliverer to step into your chaos. Because He is both the sovereign Creator of the universe and a loving Father who hears your urgent cries, who guards you from stumbling into your own fixes, and whose perfect timing will never fail those who seek Him.

How do you hold onto the memory of God’s faithfulness when life moves on and new challenges arise?
Jaime and Alana explore the biblical concept of raising an “Ebenezer”—a tangible monument or stone of help that declares, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”
While it’s easy to experience an answered prayer or a miraculous breakthrough and quickly move on to putting out the next fire, Scripture repeatedly shows God’s people setting up physical memorials to remember what He has done. The co-hosts unpack the stories of Samuel’s stone of help and the twelve polished stones pulled from the Jordan River, looking at how tangible reminders not only anchor our own faith during hard seasons, but also serve as natural conversation starters to pass our testimonies down to our children.
Through personal stories and everyday examples—from prayer journals, Christmas ornaments, and cross-country bibs to writing Bible verses on bare concrete floors after an Alaskan earthquake—Jaime and Alana share practical ways to create spiritual mileposts in your own home. Alana addresses the tension between celebrating accomplishments and false humility, while Jaime reflects on using physical prompts to persevere in prayer, intentional family reflection, and even the question of whether tattoos can serve as modern-day Ebenezers.
Together, they encourage us to surround ourselves with reminders of God’s goodness so we never forget how far He has brought us. Whether you’re looking for creative ways to share your faith story with your kids, needing encouragement to trust God with a new obstacle, or wanting to build a habit of reflection and gratitude, we hope this episode inspires you to look back on God’s faithfulness with fresh eyes and confidence for the road ahead.

What happens when the rising waters of life—whether a devastating health diagnosis, financial ruin, or the slow erosion of your reputation—leave you feeling completely trapped and sinking into the mire?
Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a deeply comforting and raw devotional on Psalm 69, a powerful chapter that meets us in our lowest moments of panic and anxiety, while pointing us toward the ultimate hope of our Redeemer.
Drawing from a vivid, real-life illustration of Alaska’s treacherous glacial mudflats and rapidly rushing bore tides, Jaime paints an unforgettable picture of what David meant when he cried out that the waters had risen to his neck with no foothold in sight. She explores how David’s desperate pleas give us permission to bring our own untidy, raw, and seemingly hopeless emotions directly to the throne of grace, reminding us that authenticity and trust go hand in hand when we are straining our eyes waiting for God to move.
Along the way, we see how David’s deep distress foreshadows the suffering of Jesus on the cross, and Jaime thoughtfully unpacks the challenging concept of "imprecatory prayers"—those jarring verses where David calls down God’s wrath upon his adversaries. Through the lens of New Testament grace, she offers wise, practical perspective on shifting our focus away from flesh-and-blood enemies to recognize the true spiritual battle against the principalities of darkness.
Come ready to lay down your deepest anxieties—the exhausting false accusations, the overwhelming debts, and the situations threatening to swallow you whole. Let this episode remind you that our Savior is bigger than the fiercest tides working against you. Because He is a God who hears the needy, who lifts our feet out of the suffocating silt to set us securely on high, and whose redeeming power can turn even the very seas that threatened to drown us into a chorus of praise for His glory.
