In this month’s guest episode, Julie sits down with author and fellow Iowan Jennifer Dukes Lee for a deeply encouraging and refreshing conversation about faith, mornings, and finding God in the everyday rhythms of life.
Jennifer shares her personal story—from life on a multi-generational farm to navigating the season of launching her daughters into the world—and how God has faithfully given her peace in the unknown. Through it all, she reminds us that God often prepares our hearts long before we understand His plans.
The heart of this episode centers around Jennifer’s newest book, How to Love Your Morning, which was inspired by her study of more than 200 mornings throughout Scripture. She unpacks how God consistently uses mornings as moments of instruction, provision, restoration, and hope—and how we can begin to see our own mornings differently.
Together, Julie and Jennifer talk about the difference between routines and rituals, inviting listeners to move away from pressure-filled, performative mornings and into meaningful, grace-filled moments with God. Whether your mornings feel peaceful or overwhelming, this conversation offers practical encouragement for every season—including seasons of exhaustion, grief, or busyness.
Jennifer also shares simple, flexible ways to connect with God, reminding us that time with Him doesn’t have to look perfect to be powerful. Even in the hardest seasons, we can find comfort, strength, and renewal in His presence.
This episode will leave you with a fresh perspective, a sense of peace, and a gentle reminder: mornings aren’t just something to get through—they’re an invitation to meet with God and experience His goodness in a new way.
