Java with Jen: Hearing God's Voice for Everyday Life | Revival, Prophetic Prayer, Christian Family
Hi, I’m Jen! As a mom of four boys, Pastor, Podcast coach, and former Wardrobe Stylist, I love helping busy moms learn to hear God's voice and enjoy the journey! It’s simpler than you think, though many Christians struggle to believe they can. Just one word from Him can change everything. I’m far from perfect, but I’m here to share authentic, real-life advice on knowing Jesus more deeply and being led by His Spirit in your everyday life, family, and work. With coffee in hand and real life in our faces let’s do this! Let's Connect: IG: @javawithjen • javawithjenpodcast.com
