What happens when our faith feels stale, stagnant, or entangled in doubt?

In this deeply personal episode, Jaime explores her all-time favorite chapter of the Bible: Psalm 19.

Opening up about a season of deep questioning in her own life, she shares how God met her not just through the pages of Scripture, but through the undeniable testimony of science and creation. From marveling at the vast night sky on a college drill field to examining the intricate, hidden worlds of plant cells and DNA under a microscope, Jaime beautifully illustrates how observing the physical world can anchor our faith and magnify our incredibly creative Creator.

As she reads and prays through the psalm, Jaime highlights the seamless transition from the heavens declaring God's glory to the perfection of His life-giving boundaries. She reminds us that God's laws are not meant to stifle or restrict us, but to guide us into true freedom, which ultimately leads to a vulnerable, freeing prayer for cleansing from our "hidden faults" and "presumptuous sins."

Whether you are wrestling with big questions, feeling spiritually dry, or simply need to remember how big God truly is, we hope this episode invites you into a space of holy awe. May it encourage you to step into God's creation, observe the Master's handiwork, and allow yourself to feel wonderfully small in the presence of a Father who loves you infinitely.

Bethel Music singer and worship leader Bethany Wohrle opens up about walking through unimaginable grief after the unexpected death of her 18-month-old niece — and how she experienced God’s presence in the midst of the pain. She shares how that season shaped the songs on her debut solo album, Reason That I Sing, and why she was determined to write music filled with hope and rooted in God’s faithfulness. Wohrle also explains why she believes a worship leader’s goal should be to become “as invisible as possible” and point people toward Jesus. Plus, she discusses the fresh spiritual hunger she sees among younger generations and why she believes God is moving in a powerful way.

When everyone depends on you, stopping can feel irresponsible.

Jennifer Hudson tears up when guests thank her for her kindness, and it is such a sweet moment. Her staff put together many videos from people on the show she’s helped. They thanked her and explained how she changed their lives, which brought her to tears. Play the video to see it.

“This show has been one of the most rewarding times of my life,” Jennifer said, after watching the video while on her show. “And I am thankful for every one of y’all,” she said to the audience.

She had to take a tissue out and wipe her eyes after that. 

Her Drive to Make a Difference

Jennifer helps people in a multitude of ways, not just through having guests on her show. She recently partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery to support the No Kid Hungry Initiative and raise money for over 200,000 meals to give to children in need. Her website is currently accepting donations for the initiative. 

She’s helped lots of other charities, too, including those fighting AIDS and human trafficking. 

“Any time you’re helping someone is very important and, of course, when children are involved,” she said. “I feel like your celebrity is not about the fortune or the fame. But if you can’t help anyone, then it’s in vain, it’s pointless.”

She created the Julian D. King Gift Foundation to help children in poverty. Julian was her nephew, who was murdered in a case of domestic violence. The foundation provides children all over the Chicago area with free school supplies because Julian loved school. 

It’s wonderful that a celebrity like Jennifer does so much to help those in need. She has a pure hear,t and she clearly wants to share what she has. She has such a deep love for others that is unique to her. Hopefully, her actions are inspiring others to be generous, too.

A 13-year-old is the first person to defeat the original Tetris game. Previously, the game had never been beaten by a human. The highest score achievable—40,264,954 million points at level 157—had only ever been achieved before through AI. Watch the video to see the boy’s reaction to the win. 

The Oklahoma teen, Willis Gibson, was in complete shock when he got the highest score ever while he was live-streaming. He started hyperventilating and sank into his chair with his head in his hands in disbelief. 

“Oh, my God! Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Yes,” the teen said. “I’m going to pass out. I can’t feel my fingers. I can’t feel my hands.”

He Accomplished What No One had Done Before

His reaction isn’t overrated. The game has been around since 1984, and no human has ever gotten as far as Willis has. In fact, the game’s creators didn’t even think it was possible.

Willis dedicated his win to his father, Adam Gibson, who died just one month before Willis’s win. 

“He definitely would be proud. He'd tell anybody and everybody how good his kid was at Tetris," Willis’s mother, Karin Cox, said.

The previous record holder had only 29,486,164 points. Willis has also competed in several Tetris competitions and says he holds the world record for Tetris on the Game Boy, too. NBC News even helped Willis meet the original Tetris programmer, Alexey Pajitnov, and designer, Henk Rogers, through Zoom, who told him how impressed they were with his skills. 

It’s incredible that a teen was the first person to defeat the Tetris game. He proved that humans can win against AI in a pretty cool way. It’s extra special that he dedicated the win to his recently deceased dad. He surely would have been proud of his son for doing something no one else has.

Get ready to watch some good news reported from East Idaho. An officer goes to great lengths to return money to the right person.

At the start of the video, Caitlyn came to the courthouse a week prior, and she pulled her keys out of her pocket, and a $5 bill fell out of her pocket. She shares how she did not think much about it. Suddenly, she tells of how this morning, Deputy Hall returned it to her in person. She shares about how nice it was for him to go review the footage after he found the money and watched for her return to give her the money back. 

It's an Impactful Story on the Power of Character

She says that she assumed she spent the money on a coffee, and the officer joked that she could go get her coffee now. Their team decided to do a new report called Feel Good Friday with him. They are shown going towards the courthouse to find Deputy Hall to give him a surprise Texas Roadhouse and Amazon gift cards. The deputy comes out, and Caitlyn tells him that this is no emergency and she wanted to thank him for giving her the $5 back. She wanted to ask why he kept it. He shares that his goal was to be honest and that $5 is a lot of money to some people.

They ask him if he has done this before, and he says that they watch the cameras and things come up where they return. The news anchors shake hands with Deputy Hall and are able to thank him. It is an encouraging story about character and honesty in a world that is tainted.

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” James 3:17

The sun rises, the moon marks the seasons, and creation continues moving according to God's design—all without our help.

Could artificial intelligence play a role in the “great deception” Jesus warned about in Matthew 24? Author and evangelist Ben Peterson joins Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust to discuss his new book, When Intelligence Isn’t Human: Navigating Your Faith in the Age of AI, and why he believes Christians should pay close attention to the rapid rise of AI.

He also explores what Scripture says about deception and how Christians can remain grounded in truth in an AI-driven world.

Have you ever wondered if that strong "gut feeling" is your intuition speaking, or if it's actually the Holy Spirit?

This week on the Praying Christian Women podcast, Alana and Jaime tackle the complex and often confusing differences between human intuition and Holy Spirit discernment—and why confusing the two can actually be spiritually dangerous.

In this episode, Alana and Jaime dive into the all-too-common Christian habit of "over-spiritualizing" our personal choices. They unpack the danger of using the phrase "God told me" to justify our own desires, make excuses for being flaky, or shut down disagreements. They explain why making God the "fall guy" for our decisions or personality quirks can border on taking His name in vain, and why it's perfectly okay to just want things without slapping a divine stamp on them!

Jaime also shares the personal story of her family's move to Alaska, revealing how she used scripture to seek confirmation when she wasn't sure if the decision was driven by personal desire or a divine calling. Together, they explore the beautiful truth that intuition is a God-given gift designed to protect and guide us, and why honoring your gut instincts (like sensing an unsafe situation) doesn't have to conflict with your faith.

You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on the incredible freedom we have in Christ, a comforting reminder of God's joyful and loving character, and practical wisdom on how to seek clarity when you aren't sure whose voice you're hearing.
