The Heart Helper

The Heart Helper

Welcome to The Heart Helper Podcast, hosted by Jodie Shannon—transformational author of The Book of Real S**t, Flowers in the Garden, and the highly anticipated devotional Out of Comfort Into Calling. This award-winning podcast isn't just content—it's a calling. In a world chasing influence, we offer something deeper: connection, conviction, and Christ. At The Heart Helper, we believe healing happens when hearts get honest. Rooted in biblical truth and spiritual transparency, this podcast is a sacred space for the stories that shape us. Every episode invites you into powerful conversations with people who've overcome alcoholism, depression, divorce, suicidal thoughts, and more—guided back to life through faith, forgiveness, and grace. You'll also hear testimonies of restoration, God-ordained marriages, and the beauty of becoming who you were always meant to be. This isn't about perfection—it's about the process. And if you're ready to rise from where you are to where God is calling you, you're in the right place. Named Best Mind, Body & Soul Podcast by the Urban Media Film Festival, we exist to help you manage your mind, strengthen your spirit, and honor your heart. Inspired by Jodie's upcoming book Out of Comfort Into Calling, each episode is your invitation to walk boldly in purpose. Join us on the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 12PM EST. This is more than a podcast—it's heart work for your healing.

Prepared. Surrendered. Filled & Overflowing. | ft. Life Coach Bri Boyd

Quiet the Noise | Seen to Serve, Hidden to Hear The Heart Helper Podcast | Bible Discovery Series

You were sent to serve people — but you cannot serve from an empty cup. When you pour constantly without returning to the Father, you stop being filled by God and start being shaped by the crowd. Slowly you will start to look like the world when you were sent to transform it.

We often expect God to speak through the loud, dramatic moments—the earthquake, the fire, the storm. But what if the message you've been waiting for is in the whisper?

In 1 Kings 19:11-13, when Elijah stood on the mountain, God wasn't in the powerful wind, the earthquake, or the fire. Instead, God came in a gentle whisper—a still, small voice that could only be heard in the quiet.

Sometimes you have to be still to hear wh...
