About the show

You weren’t created to live in survival mode always anxious, overthinking, striving, and barely holding it all together. And yet… somewhere along the way, that became the norm 👀. 👉 “What if God already gave you the instruction… and you’ve been waiting for confirmation instead of walking in obedience?” 👉 “Do you trust what God placed in you… or are you still looking for permission from something outside of Him?” 👉 “What would it look like to move today. Not because you feel ready, but because you believe God is with you?” Welcome to the side of business building where we do things differently…Where seeking God first in His word and in the Spirit is where we start, not an after-effect. In this podcast you’ll learn how to become the woman who leads with authority AND gets paid for it without compromising God. HEYYYY I’m Jenna Christine. Wannabe mom. Previous 6 Figure “Influencer” who looked like I had it all to being humbled, told to rebuild my life by letting go of my toxic relationship with business (and men) and finally surrendering to God’s way and His perfect order. I learned how to get OUT of survival by building IN survival – Imperfectly messy with my phone, apartment, and the HOLY SPIRIT voice and authority. I moved forward boldly even when I didn't have the full blueprint – and looking back I’m so glad I didn’t hesitate. Now we’re scaling to our first million with a full God led team (of at least 7) teaching you how to minister in the MARKETPLACE without compromising God for worldy outcomes. To be fruitful, multiply, and make disciples of ALL nations. If you’re ready to learn how to become the woman who leads with authority AND gets paid for it without compromising God: in business, in ministry, and in your relationships…this one’s for you! Let’s let Jesus take the WHEEEEEL this time… mmmkay? 🔥🤲

Ep 49 | The “Hook, Heart, Harvest” Content Formula That Grew My TikTok by 100+ Followers a Day

What if your content didn’t need to be more complicated… it just needed a clearer structure? In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the simplest content formulas I’ve used to grow my TikTok, consistently reach new people, and create content that actually moves someone from scrolling to listening to taking action. I call it the Hook, Heart, Harvest Formula. 🪝 HOOK: Grab their attention. Your hook is what makes someone stop scrolling long enough to hear what you have to say. And yes, there are really TWO hooks happening: the visual hook and the verbal hook. ❤️ HEART: Give them something worth staying for. This is the story, testimony, teaching, belief, revelation, or message at the center of the content. This is where connection happens. This is where they begin to understand why what you’re saying matters to them. 🌾 HARVEST: Give them somewhere to go. What do you want them to do with what they just heard? Follow. Comment. Share. Download something. Join your community. Apply. Buy. Take the next step. Because content isn’t just about getting views. It’s about planting seeds, nurturing what God has given you to say, and creating a clear pathway for the people who are ready to respond. In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how I think about Hook, Heart, and Harvest so you can start applying it to your own TikTok content immediately.

Ep 48 | If God Is Calling You to TikTok in 2026… Listen to THIS [Christian TikTok + Content Strategy]

Is God calling you to start speaking on TikTok in 2026? In this episode, I’m sharing my own TikTok journey, how the platform has changed the way I approach Christian content creation, and why I believe TikTok can be so much more than another social media platform. For Christian entrepreneurs, speakers, ministry leaders, coaches, and women who feel called to use their voice online, TikTok can become a mission field. I’m sharing: • How long I’ve been creating on TikTok and how my audience has changed over the years • Who I started serving versus who I’m called to serve now • How TikTok has impacted my businesses, ministry, and She Speaks Challenge • How I personally create content on TikTok today • How I guide clients and Christian women who want to grow their voice and visibility online • Why I see TikTok as a mission field • Why every social media platform has its own “language” • A quick breakdown of the language and culture of TikTok • Why God may be calling you to TikTok specifically to SPEAK • How learning the platform can create significant visibility and reach for your message TikTok isn’t just about trends, dancing, going viral, or chasing followers. For some of you, it may be one of the places God is asking you to plant seeds. But just like entering another culture, you have to be willing to learn the language. And when you combine the mission God has placed on your heart with the skill of communicating effectively on the platform, your voice has the opportunity to reach people you may never meet otherwise. If you’ve been wondering how to start on TikTok, how to grow on TikTok as a Christian creator, how to create faith based content, or how to use social media for ministry or business, this episode is for you.

Ep 47 | The Power of Testimony 🎙️[And sharing the right one...]

Someone recently prayed over me and said, “I feel like the Lord wants to tell you… it’s time to sing a new song.” Those words stuck 👀 Because for years, I had shared a version of my story that was true, but safe. I talked about being a former classroom teacher, building an online business, doubling my income, social media, branding and business growth. But there were other parts of my testimony that required a different level of trust to share. 🎙️In this episode of Out of Survival Mode, we’re talking about the power of the testimony God actually wants you to share and what happens when He begins asking you to sing a new song. We dive into Revelation 12:11 and what it means to overcome “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony,” why the parts of your story that carry the most resistance may be the very places Jesus wants to reveal His redemption, and why your testimony was never supposed to be about your own power in the first place. Because it’s not about what YOU have overcome. It’s about what CHRIST has overcome. We also talk about: • How to discern what testimony God is asking you to share • What to do when fear or "what if's" creep in and delay you • The importance of wisdom when your testimony involves other people or painful circumstances • How to replace lies with the truth of Scripture • Courage, obedience and preparing now for the rooms God may call you to speak in later And I pray specifically for the woman who knows there is something God is asking her to say, but has been afraid to open her mouth. Maybe the question isn't, “God, how do I share this?” BUT THIS: “God, I will be faithful to share this.” p.s. SHE SPEAKS is starting Monday, September 14th. 🔥🔥🔥 If you know God is calling you to use your voice, share your testimony, speak up, or prepare for the rooms He is calling you into, this is your invitation. For 30 days, we’re going to actually practice this together. Not just talk about using your voice, but USE it. If you’ve been feeling that nudge that it’s time to stop hiding and start speaking, come join us. You can find all the details at https://www.iamjennachristine.com/shespeaks. I cannot WAIT to see what God does in this room. 😝

Ep 46 | IF You Forgot How Crazy Your Testimony Actually Is 🤯

What if the things you’ve started treating as “normal” are actually absolutely insane testimonies? The provision. The healing. The relationship. The doors opening out of nowhere. The thing God did that you barely even talk about anymore. I’ve realized I’ve been doing this too. In this episode, I’m sharing three things that have happened in my life in just the last six months that I’ve barely talked about, including how I ended up with the keys to an actual HOUSE in seven days. 🤯 Because here’s what I’m realizing: When we normalize the testimony, we stop telling it. And someone else may need to hear exactly what God has done in your life to have faith for what He can do in theirs. Stop normalizing what isn’t normal. Your testimony is meant to be spoken. SPEAK. 🎤 Join the SHE SPEAKS CHALLENGE HERE: https://www.iamjennachristine.com/shespeaks 🎙️👩‍💻❤️ JENNA CHRISTINE

Ep 45 | I thought this was freedom…until it wasn’t 👀

What if the life you’re praying for doesn’t require you to do more… but to finally let some things go? I’m in the middle of what I’m calling The Freedom Experiment . I’ve spent years building businesses, creating content, launching offers, showing up online, and carrying this underlying belief that if I stopped doing all the things, everything might stop working. But lately, I’ve been questioning that. What if I don’t have to post constantly? What if I don’t have to keep up? What if rest doesn’t need to be earned? What if my business is allowed to fit around my actual life? And what if trusting God as my Provider means I have to stop trying to control exactly how the provision comes? In this episode of Out of Survival Mode , I’m taking you behind the scenes of what it looks like to untangle productivity from identity, release the pressure to perform, and learn how to create, work, rest, and live from freedom instead of survival. This isn’t me teaching you a perfectly packaged lesson from the other side. I’m in the experiment right now. And maybe you need permission to start your own.

Ep 44 | When You Got Out of Survival... Just to Go Back In [And How to Rebuild Beauty from Ashes]

Have you ever had a season where you thought you had finally made it out of survival mode... ...only to find yourself right back in it? Maybe it's a health diagnosis. A financial setback. A relationship struggle. A business challenge. Or simply the weight of carrying too many responsibilities at once. In this episode, I'm sharing what this recent season has looked like for me as I've navigated an RA flare, concerns around Lyme disease, carpal tunnel symptoms, and the emotional toll that comes when your body slows down but life doesn't. We'll talk about: What can pull us back into survival mode—even after seasons of healing. Trauma triggers and why they can resurface during times of stress. The danger of trying to fix everything at once instead of following God's priorities. The difference between temporary band-aid solutions and long-term biblical stewardship. Why rebuilding doesn't happen overnight—it happens one faithful step at a time. I'll also share parts of my own journey—from leaving the classroom to building an online business—and how God has continued to teach me that beauty from ashes isn't created through striving. It's built through daily obedience. If you've been feeling discouraged because it seems like you've taken a step backward, I hope this episode reminds you that healing isn't always linear. Sometimes God brings us back to places of weakness so He can rebuild us on an even stronger foundation. "He will give you a crown of beauty instead of ashes..." — Isaiah 61:3 Remember: People often overestimate what they can accomplish in 90 days and underestimate what God can do through one year of faithful obedience. You're not starting over. You're rebuilding. And God is still writing your story.

43 | The story I never thought I’d tell 👀 [12 Years of Survival Mode to THIS]

OUT OF SURVIVAL MODE 🎙️ When the Pain Finally Makes Sense: God Was Writing a Bigger Story Have you ever had a moment where you looked back at everything you survived and realized... God was writing a story you couldn’t see yet? In this episode of Out of Survival Mode , I’m sharing a deeply personal testimony of what it felt like to finally see purpose in over 12 years of heartbreak, an abusive marriage, manipulation, betrayal, waiting, and wondering when God was going to move. For so long, I couldn’t see how any of it could possibly make sense. And then God started connecting the dots. A seemingly ordinary encounter with a couple from South Africa became one of those full circle moments where I realized that what I thought was simply something I had survived was actually becoming part of the story God was asking me to tell. This is what Isaiah 61 looks like lived out. Beauty from ashes. Restoration after devastation. Purpose coming out of places you thought were only painful. And a new story being written with God. In this episode, we talk about: 🔥 What it looks like to come out of survival mode 🔥 Recognizing God’s hand in seasons you didn’t understand while you were living them 🔥 The beauty and purpose God can bring from the ashes of your story 🔥 Trusting God when restoration doesn’t happen the way or on the timeline you expected 🔥 Allowing your testimony to become part of your calling 🔥 Stepping into the NEW story God is writing “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me...” — Isaiah 61:1 Your story isn’t over. And some of the very places you once asked God, “Why did I have to go through this?” may become the places He uses most powerfully.
