The Lizzy Jensen Show

Before the goals. Before the plans. Before the pressure to become someone new this year.There’s a quieter question I think we skip too often: What do I actually want?We live in so much noise — good ideas, better strategies, endless input — and it’s easy to move forward without ever stopping to ask whether the life we’re building is really ours. Whether it’s aligned with who we are, where we are, and what God might be inviting us into right now.In this episode, I talk about slowing down before the new year rush. About reclaiming your own voice. About learning to tune out what doesn’t matter so you can hear what does. Not so you can do more — but so you can move with clarity, intention, and trust.If you’ve felt overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about what’s next… this conversation is for you. Hosted on Acast.

Fear shows up at the doorway of nearly every sacred invitation.In this episode, I sit down again with David Butler for a conversation about fear, becoming, and the quiet, holy way God moves people forward. We talk about why fear so often accompanies God’s invitations—and why that fear is not a sign to stop, but a sign to pay attention.Drawing from the Christmas story, the creation account, and the consistent patterns God has used from the very beginning, this conversation reframes growth, change, and the pressure we feel—especially around a new year. What surprised me most was how much clarity came not from looking ahead, but from looking backward and recognizing where God has already been at work.This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by expectations, paralyzed by fear, or unsure how to step into what’s next. It’s a reminder that holiness is often found in the ordinary, that growth is meant to be slow, and that God never asks us to move forward without first saying, “Fear not.”Wherever this episode finds you, let it be a pause. Let it be perspective. Let it be permission to see your life through God’s lens—not the world’s. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You do not have to be a scriptorian to be a powerful gospel teacher in your home. Read that again. 🫶In today’s episode, I sit down with Shannon Foster, also known as @theredheadedhostess, and we talk about the fear so many women quietly carry:“I don’t know enough to teach my kids.” “I’m not good at the scriptures.” “Our family scripture time is a mess… am I failing?”Shannon’s story is the exact opposite of what you’d expect. She grew up illiterate in the scriptures, sitting in the back of seminary praying she wouldn’t get called on. The idea of reading a verse and then explaining what it meant? Absolutely terrifying.And yet… God took that exact weakness and turned it into her training ground.She became a full-time seminary teacher. She learned how to teach youth who didn’t understand, didn’t feel confident, and didn’t naturally love the scriptures—because that had been her.And now she’s helped tens of thousands of families learn how to study the scriptures, feel confident in the word of God, and create homes where the gospel feels like an exhale, not a performance.
