Season 2 | Episode 14: Why Rest Feels Risky

Why Rest Feels Risky Rest sounds good in theory, but it can feel unsafe when your identity is tied to productivity. For some of us, slowing down forces us to face insecurities we’d rather outrun. In this episode, I share how I filled my life with “work” and “ministry” because those were places I felt confident, while home life exposed the areas where I doubted myself — even with a husband who believed in me completely. We’ll look at Matthew 11:28–29 (NASB) to see what it means to accept the rest Jesus offers, even when stillness feels uncomfortable. This is a conversation about trading self-protection for the safety of His presence. If rest has felt more like a threat than a gift, this episode will help you take the first step back toward it.

Season 2 | Episode 13: When You’re Afraid to Hope Again

When You’re Afraid to Hope Again Hope can feel dangerous when you’ve been disappointed before. You want to believe again, but the thought of being let down keeps you guarded. In this episode, we’ll talk about the risk of hoping after closed doors, how God meets us in that hesitation, and why courage sometimes looks like trying again. You’ll hear a story about gaining momentum in a calling, watching it crumble overnight, and wrestling with God over why He let it happen. Psalm 27:13–14 (NASB) will anchor our conversation as we remember that hope in Him is never wasted. If you’ve been holding your dreams at a distance to protect yourself, this is your invitation to bring them back to God.

Season 2 | Episode 11: Not Everything Deserves Your Energy

Not Everything Deserves Your Energy You don’t have to take it all on. In this episode, we talk about what it means to live with discernment—especially when your peace, purpose, or identity is constantly being pulled in a dozen directions. The world might tell you to “let them” and move on, but Scripture shows us a better way: emotional stewardship rooted in Christ. We walk through: Why Jesus didn’t defend Himself to everyone—and how that frees us to stop overexplaining What it looks like to guard your heart without hardening it How to tell the difference between setting a wise boundary and writing someone off A personal story of when I carried too much and started to hate myself for it Why emotional exhaustion is not your fault—and not your portion It's about clarity, not coldness. This isn’t about independence. It’s about intimacy with God. Because not everything deserves your energy—but everyone still deserves love. Let’s talk about how to walk that line with grace. 🔗 Resources: 🎁 Grab the free 5-day guide: Seen: A 5-Day Guide to Feeling Again 📱 Follow Cami on Instagram: @camireneejones Sign up for emails and all the things here 🎧 Subscribe & Leave a Review Your reviews help others feel seen and heard too.

Season 2 | Episode 10: You're Not a Burden

You’re Not a Burden Have you ever felt like you're “too much” to be loved? Like your emotions are exhausting, your presence is heavy, or your needs might push people away? In today’s episode, Cami speaks directly to the one quietly carrying the lie that they are a burden. Whether that message was spoken over you in childhood, implied through silence, or internalized through exhaustion, this conversation will remind you of the truth: God never called you a burden. He calls you beloved. And He carries what you carry—daily. Together, we’ll explore: Where the lie of being “too much” often starts How it shapes the way we show up (or don’t) in relationships What Scripture actually says about our weight, our worth, and God's willingness to hold both Why Jesus never asks us to clean up or quiet down before coming to Him This one’s for the over-apologizer, the emotional caretaker, the one who says “I’m fine” through tears. You are not a problem to fix or a burden to bear. You are someone God loves to carry. 📖 Scripture Referenced: Isaiah 46:4 Psalm 68:19 1 Peter 5:7 🔗 Resources: 🎁 Grab the free 5-day guide: Seen: A 5-Day Guide to Feeling Again 📱 Follow Cami on Instagram: @camireneejones Sign up for emails and all the things here Have you ever believed you were a burden?
