Praying Christian Women

This is a special bonus episode that previously aired on the Christian True-Crime Junkies! podcast.

When crime stories dominate headlines, how do we talk about justice without losing sight of faith?
In this episode of Christian True-Crime Junkies!, we sit down with former Long Beach police officer turned Christian romantic suspense author Janice Cantore to explore what it’s really like to serve on the front lines of law enforcement, and how God shows up in the darkest moments.
Drawing from her time with the Long Beach Police Department, Janice shares firsthand stories from patrol, detective work, and even the Rodney King riots. We talk about mob mentality, officer safety, the emotional toll of responding to tragedy, and the complicated conversations surrounding protests, policing, and accountability. Janice also opens up about how a pivotal moment early in her career strengthened her faith and reshaped the trajectory of her life.
We also talk about Janice's brand new book Edge of Truth, and how her experiences in law enforcement directly shaped her Christian suspense novels.
You can connect with Janice at the Romantic Suspense A-Team on Facebook, or at JaniceCantore.com, where you can order her book Edge of Truth today!

Do you ever wonder what the point of prayer is if God already knows what he's going to do? If so, you're not alone...and you definitely don't want to miss this episode!
This week, Jaime sits down for a powerful and timeless conversation from the podcast archives with Jennifer Kennedy Dean, beloved author of Live a Praying Life. Though Jennifer unexpectedly passed away in 2019, her message continues to impact women around the world who long for deeper intimacy with Christ.
In this episode, Jennifer shares the heart behind living in ongoing communion with God—not treating prayer as a spiritual task list, but as a lifestyle of surrender, attentiveness, and transformation.
Jennifer unpacks how prayer aligns us with God’s purposes rather than persuading Him to adopt ours, while highlighting the importance of being willing participants in the mystery of prayer. She speaks candidly about her struggles when her brother passed away from illness after fervent prayers of her whole family, and how sometimes God's best "yes" to our prayers doesn't look quite like we'd imagined or even hoped for.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your prayers weren’t “working,” or wondered why God sometimes seems silent, this conversation will absolutely bring you hope and encouragement.
Jennifer’s legacy continues through her writing and ministry, inviting women everywhere into a richer, more transformative prayer life.

How do you declare "God is on the throne" when the evidence around you screams the opposite? Can you find spiritual victory when your logic and emotions are railing against this truth?
In this devotional on Psalm 53, we walk through a "revision" of Psalm 14— a Maskil that shifts our focus from the covenant name of Yahweh to Elohim, the Creator and Judge of all humanity. We confront the paralyzing reality of "great fear where no fear had been" and explore how the enemy uses the brokenness of this world to mask the spiritual victory God has already won. We move past the surface-level tragedies to the deeper truth: that God has already scattered the bones of those who encamp against you.
Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of spiritual recalibration. If you are exhausted by the heavy news cycle, or if your mind is railing against the promise of God’s sovereignty, this episode offers a battle plan for your thoughts. Come ready to "disconnect the logic," destroy speculations, and stand firm on the invisible, unshakeable reality of God’s Kingdom.

Does a marriage fall apart in a single moment of crisis, or does it slowly wear thin in the "long middle"?
This week, Dana Che, host of the Rebuilding Us podcast, joins Jaime for an honest conversation on redeeming broken marriages based on her new book, Tried and True: Marriage Advice from 12 Imperfect Biblical Couples.
In this episode, Dana shares her powerful personal testimony of marrying at 18, navigating infidelity, and how God transformed their hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. She unpacks the spiritual danger of "hiding" from your spouse—like Adam and Eve—and offers practical advice for women who feel spiritually mismatched or disconnected from their husbands.
Dana also tackles the controversial stance that children should not come first in the family hierarchy, explaining why prioritizing the marriage covenant is actually the best gift you can give your kids to prevent "gray divorce."
You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on how to pray for your husband rather than against him to control outcomes, and how to trust Jesus as the Mediator when you feel too weary to pray.
Visit danache.com to connect with Dana and pick up a copy of her new book at triedandtruemarriagebook.com.
Tried and True explores the real-life struggles of biblical figures to help you navigate the "long middle" of marriage and reconnect spiritually.
While there, you can also access her free 5-day devotional to help kickstart spiritual intimacy in your home, and be sure to listen to her podcast, Rebuilding Us, on the LifeAudio network.

How do you find your footing when calculated evil leaves a trail of destruction in its wake? Can a soul truly flourish while carrying the heavy burden of collateral damage?
In this devotional on Psalm 52, we confront one of the darkest moments in David’s life—the massacre at Nob. We explore the aftermath of Doeg the Edomite’s "sharp razor" betrayal, which led to the slaughter of 85 priests and an entire town, leaving David wrestling with the crushing weight of responsibility for their deaths. We move beyond the horror to examine David’s defiant choice of faith: the stark contrast between the "boastful wickedness" of the enemy and David’s self-declaration as a "green olive tree" in the house of God.
Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of deep restoration. If you are navigating the fallout of someone else’s betrayal, or if you are struggling with guilt over pain you feel you caused, this episode offers a sanctuary for your soul. Come ready to plant your roots deep in God’s presence, trusting that His loving-kindness endures even when the world is in chaos.
