Episode Details

Jessica De Young is a Christian speaker, author, and founder of Made Whole — a ministry devoted to helping women grow in faith and walk closely with God in real-life seasons. She is also the host of the Perspectives into Practice podcast, where faith moves beyond inspiration and into everyday action.

Known for her honest storytelling and practical biblical encouragement, Jessica helps people navigate uncertain or “in-between” seasons with steady, grounded faith.

In this heartfelt conversation, Jessica shares:

• Why so many people love inspirational faith content but struggle to live it daily

• What practicing faith in real time actually looks like

• How to take the next small step of obedience without needing the whole plan

• Why obedience is often harder than belief

• How faith anchors us in uncertain, in-between seasons

• How to recognize God’s voice and distinguish it from our own thoughts

• Trusting that God rarely shows the whole path — just the next step

If you’re in your 20s wrestling with obedience, struggling to trust God’s timing, or wondering what real faith looks like in everyday life, this episode offers clear, practical encouragement.
