God has an invitation for you this year! He is moving—often in ways that look different from anything you’ve seen before—and He’s calling you to join Him. As you open your eyes, loosen old expectations, and make room for the fresh work of His Spirit, you’ll be amazed at what He reveals. God’s hand is already at work doing a new thing, and stepping into it requires renewed clarity, courage, and hope.

You’ll be inspired by both personal stories and powerful examples from Scripture—real accounts of ordinary people who recognized God’s movement in unexpected places. Their journeys will encourage your own as you learn to release patterns that once served you well and embrace the “new wineskins” God is preparing for what’s ahead.

In this message, you’ll discover how to:

• Recognize God’s movement even when it comes through unexpected people or places
• Welcome the new thing God is doing without clinging to familiar methods
• See God working in others with joy rather than skepticism
• Stay attentive to the Holy Spirit’s promptings in everyday moments
• Let go of past limitations so you can step boldly into God’s direction
• Cultivate spiritual vision that notices God’s fingerprints in both the miraculous and the ordinary

If you’re longing to be part of what God is doing in our day, it will require deeper faith, clearer sight, and a heart ready to follow wherever He leads. This is your invitation. God is already moving—now it’s time to recognize His hand and walk with confidence into His new thing.

Description:

The greatest miracles often begin in the quiet corners of ordinary lives.

In this special Christmas episode of Her God Story, Jodie Chiricosta invites listeners into the remarkable stories of four women—Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary—whose journeys echo some of our most familiar human struggles: feeling unworthy, starting over in sorrow, carrying the weight of regret, or stepping into a calling that feels overwhelming.

Though their circumstances span centuries, their experiences mirror our own. Through rich storytelling and biblical insight, this episode reveals the God who met each woman in her need—saving, redeeming, restoring, and fulfilling His word in ways more beautiful than they could have imagined. Listeners will discover:

✨ The redeeming power of faith—even when your past feels disqualifying ✨ The hope that rises from loyalty, surrender, and courageous obedience ✨ The mercy that meets us in shame, grief, or regret ✨ The assurance that God keeps His promises—and draws near to fulfill them

Rahab’s bold belief, Ruth’s faithful devotion, Bathsheba’s restored dignity, and Mary’s surrendered trust all point to one truth: Emmanuel has come. God is with us—in our fears, our longings, our losses, and our deepest hopes.

Whether you’re seeking encouragement, navigating a difficult season, or longing for a fresh reminder of God’s nearness this Christmas, this episode offers a heartfelt invitation to remember that He is still writing your story—with tenderness, redemption, and purpose.

🎧 Tune in and experience anew the wonder, peace, and hope of Emmanuel—God with us.
