Perspectives Into Practice: Real life, lived faith, and practical ways to walk with God.

Perspectives Into Practice is a Christian women’s podcast focused on lived, present-day faith. Hosted by Jessica DeYoung, each episode invites honest conversation about what it looks like to walk with Jesus in real life, right now. Rather than polished testimonies or teaching, this podcast centers on current seasons, everyday moments, and the perspective shifts God is shaping along the way. Each conversation highlights how faith is being practiced in ordinary life, and offers simple, meaningful takeaways listeners can put into practice right away. If you are navigating healing, growth, obedience, or uncertainty, and want encouragement that feels grounded, relatable, and spiritually rooted, this space is for you. New episodes release every Tuesday, offering hope, clarity, and reminders of God’s presence in the middle of real life. Because when we put God’s truth into practice, it changes the way we live.
