If You Feel Behind or Discouraged In Life…Watch This [Episode 395]

About this episode

Jessica Jackson discusses feelings of discouragement and uncertainty as the year ends, sharing insights on reframing progress and vision-setting.

As the year comes to a close, I'm talking about what it feels like to reflect when you're discouraged, uncertain, or just tired. When progress feels slow. When goals didn't turn out the way you hoped. When the future feels unclear. In this episode, I share the thoughts, stories, and spiritual insights that helped me reframe what it means to be "behind," why nothing you've given is wasted, and how to approach vision-setting when dreaming feels hard. I'll talk about seasons of becoming, surrender, and letting God lead when you don't have clarity yet.
