Episodes
As we close out the year, I’m inviting you into a real, honest, vulnerable reflection of what 2025 held for me — the wins, the losses, the pivots, the lessons, and the spiritual stretching that shaped my faith walk. This episode is personal, transparent, and full of the very heart behind Eat Don’t Compete.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing:
🌿 My biggest wins + lessons from 2025
🌿 Why stepping on camera this year was obedience
🌿 Ho...
In this powerful message, I share a word the Lord gave me titled “Wrestling with the Tension of Becoming.” If you remember we shared on the @EatDontCompete podcast a teaching on the same title, but let's just say this was a bit more in-depth.
Drawing from Genesis 32:24–30, we follow Jacob’s wrestle with God—his identity shift, his name change, and the tension that shaped his destiny. This message is for anyone who feels the wei...
This entire series taught me that honest questions don’t weaken your faith — they deepen your intimacy with God. And if you’ve been wrestling with becoming, balance, stewardship, community, or your calling, this recap walks you through every “Hey God, I Have Questions” episode so you can grow spiritually with clarity, confidence, and direction.
We’ve walked through an entire season of honest conversations with God — questions that ...
Have you ever wondered why your emotions feel louder when you’re growing spiritually? Sometimes spiritual sensitivity increases not to overwhelm you — but to draw you closer to God.
In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into spiritual sensitivity, discernment, and the discipline of paying attention to the presence of God.
Last time (in Episode 67), we explored what it means to know you’re chosen yet still feel unworthy. Today, we t...
What does it really mean to live like you’re chosen by God — while remembering that grace, not perfection, keeps you standing?
Being chosen by God doesn’t mean being flawless — it means being trusted to carry His power in fragile form. In this episode of Hey God, I Have Questions, Jazmine DeWees reflects on 2 Corinthians 4:7, exploring how to walk in the confidence of being chosen while remaining grounded in humility. Through Scr...
Discover how to steward the blessings God gives without feeling overwhelmed, and turn every opportunity into faithful, purposeful living—Luke 12:47-48.
Are you overwhelmed by the very blessings you prayed for? Sounds strange, until it happens. In today’s episode and the third installment of the Hey God, I Have Questions series, we unpack what it really looks like to balance blessings and be a great steward over them. Based on Luke ...
Discover how putting God first—especially in life’s busiest moments—can bring real peace, balance, and purpose through Matthew 6:33.
In this vulnerable conversation, we dive into what it really means to keep a God-first posture while navigating real life—responsibilities, busyness, and the constant overwhelm that can come with it. This isn’t a picture-perfect discussion; it’s an honest one about what it looks like to seek God, firs...
Why is finding genuine community so hard in today’s world?
In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, Jazmine DeWees explores what it truly means to find your tribe — the spiritual village that helps you grow, heal, and stay rooted in faith.
Jazmine unpacks why so many believers struggle to find authentic connections, what the Bible says about godly community (Romans 12, Hebrews 10, Acts 2), and how spiritual accountability shapes your ...
In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, we dive into the tension of becoming who God has called us to be. Drawing from three powerful scriptures—Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32, Paul’s image of jars of clay in 2 Corinthians 4, and the thorn in the flesh in 2 Corinthians 12—we see how struggle, weakness, and dependence on God are all part of spiritual growth.
I also unpack the difference between purpose, calling, and assignme...
If you know me, then you know I have a childlike curiosity about everything that stirs my heart. In this episode, I’m opening up about some of the things God has been unfolding in my spirit. It’s the beginning of a journey—one filled with questions, discovery, and honest conversations with the Holy Spirit. My hope is that this sparks something in you too, a reminder that we don’t walk this road alone. We’re building a tribe—rooted ...
In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I open up about what it really means to lean into who I truly am. Walking in authenticity can feel heavy when you’re carrying the weight of God’s assignment, but Psalm 139:14 reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (and some versions mention that we are all 'complex').
I share my heart on being nervous about how I show up in the world as I trust God’s design and live boldly in ...
In this youth service message, Cheap Wisdom, I made an attempt at diving into what true, godly wisdom looks like according to James 3:13–17 and Proverbs 1:5–7. And the working definition I've derived is that "wisdom is the skill of discerning [insight into] how to [competently] act on the knowledge that leads to living in accordance to how God has designed for us as Christian to live.
Wisdom isn’t something we can buy cheaply or ...
In this final episode of the series, I share my personal testimony—my God story—and how I came into the faith. This is my story of how I am "becoming" in Christ. I appreciate everyone who decided to tune in and share my birthday with me. This is a transparent look at the transformational power only Christ can bring.
If you’ve ever wondered how God takes a mess and turns it into a miracle, then tune in. Journal Prompt: What anchors ...
In this seventh installment of The Blueprint of Becoming, we’re talking about prayer—not as a performance or formality, but as personal communication with God. Why is prayer important? Why does it matter to talk to the One who created you? Why should the created speak with the creator? And how do we actually pray with power and effectiveness?
We’ll explore:
- Why Jesus calls us His friends (John 15:1...
In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I lay it all out, spiritual growth hasn’t been easy. Spiritual warfare has been a cross we’ve all had to bear. And as hard as it has been, I have to admit that having the equipment hasn’t been enough if I didn’t know what to do with it. So, it is my hope that the Lord meets you here in this episode to help us all learn how to use the tools we’ve been equipped with because the enemy ain’t fighti...
In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I unpack what real discipleship looks like—and why it’s more than just mentorship or role modeling. Discipleship is intentional. It’s spiritual. And it’s a lifelong process. Dr. Eric Mason said that discipleship is “lifelong process of learning and following Jesus, striving to live a life that reflects His teaching and character.”
This episode was important to me because I had the opportunity t...
For this to have just been a recap… God really met us right here on the screen—and I'm so thankful. I'm glad I was led to open in prayer with and for you all. Honestly, that moment was a testimony in itself—evidence that God is peeling back the layers in real time.
This episode gave us space to pause and reflect on the spiritual journey we've been on so far—starting with salvation, moving through identity, growing in intimacy with ...
In this episode, Part 4 of the Blueprint of Becoming series, we explore the quiet, powerful invitation to repent and release what we were never meant to carry. The theme of this episode coincides directly with the unorthodox format and laid back atmosphere in which the episode was shot. God is intentional and he met us on the beach. Whether it’s unforgiveness, offense, or emotional weight you’ve held for too long—God is calling yo...
In this fourth installment of The Blueprint of Becoming, we dive deep into the life-changing power of intimacy with Christ. This isn’t just about knowing about God—it’s about being known by Him.
Tune in as we explore the transformational nature of true intimacy with Christ. Beyond surface-level faith, this conversation challenges you to examine whether you are walking in real friendship with God—or simply knowing about Him from a d...
In this special episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I’m joined by the one and only Patricia Gaskins for a natural and genuine conversation about our identities in Christ and the beautiful, sometimes messy journeys of becoming. How many of us can admit we’re still on that journey? 🙋🏾♀️
From laughter to tears, we open up about how God's love has transformed us — how we’re no longer who we once were. We have fun and dive deep as we answe...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
