Alright, y’all, buckle up for an episode that’s going to blow you away! Today, I’m chatting with Jodi Rogers, one of my longest time friends and we share a wild story about how we almost died together, among other exciting stories! (how's that for a hook? We literally did almost die together, but it ended with someone getting saved!)
As a mom and youth pastor, she simply said “yes” to God and watched Him show up in unexpected and powerful ways in her local public school. Yep, you heard that right—a public school! Jodi felt the Lord tugging on her heart to step up and be a support for these kids who are going through it, and her obedience opened doors that will surprise you!
She shares her journey of walking into this school as just a mom-youth-pastor wanting to help, and now she’s the go-to for students dealing with everything from family issues to faith questions to spiritual battles. Jodi’s “yes” brought light into a place where so many kids feel alone and lost. And y’all, the stories she shares—students finding hope, opening up, even breaking free from some dark stuff—are powerful reminders of how God can work through one simple “yes.”
Her story is proof that when we’re willing to follow God into the unexpected, He’ll use us in ways we never imagined.
If you’re a mom, or just someone looking to make a difference with your faith, you’re going to love this conversation. Jodi shows us that saying “yes” to God, no matter how small it feels, can open up space for miracles. So if you’re curious about how to bring God’s love into unlikely places, this episode’s for you.
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
- How Jodi’s obedience as a mom led to life-changing moments for students dealing with anxiety.
- The challenges and rewards of bringing faith into a public school setting
- Real-life stories of kids experiencing God’s love in powerful, unexpected ways
- How Jodi’s faith grew deeper through some wild situations
- Encouragement for any mom (or anyone!) feeling called to make a difference right where they are

- “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7
- “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” – John 1:5
