Life doesn't always go according to plan, but God's Word gives us truth we can trust, promises we can stand on, and guidance for everyday life. The Faith-Inspired Living Podcast is for Christian women who love Jesus, desire to grow in their faith, and put God's Word into practice in their everyday life. Whether you're learning to pray with greater confidence, seeking God's direction, renewing your mind with Scripture, or trusting Him when life feels uncertain, you're in the right place. Hi, I'm Donna, and I'm so glad you're here! Together, we'll connect God's Word to our everyday lives, grow in our walk with Jesus, and learn to live by what God says. Through Scripture-based encouragement and meaningful conversations, we'll explore prayer, gratitude, spiritual growth, trusting God's promises, and practical ways to follow Jesus. My heart is to encourage you to allow God's Word to shape the way you think, speak, respond, pray, love, and live. Because faith isn't just about what we know. It's about putting what we believe into practice. I'm also the founder of GOD Says So™, a mission-driven Christian lifestyle brand with a ministry heart, created to glorify God. Through Scripture-inspired apparel, gifts, and faith-building resources for women and children, our mission is to help you keep God's Word close, live by what He says, and pass it on.

  1. · 14 minGratitude to God Isn't Seasonal: Remembering His Goodness [Part 1 of 3]

    I'd love to hear from you. Send me a text! :) We set aside an entire day to be thankful… yet how many ordinary days go by without us stopping to thank God? So why do we sometimes treat gratitude as though it belongs to just one holiday? Because here's the thing. Gratitude to God isn't seasonal. God's goodness doesn't begin on Thanksgiving morning—and it certainly doesn't end when the leftovers are gone! But what about when life gets busy, prayers are still unanswered, or things aren't going the way we hoped? In Part 1 of this three-part gratitude series, let's have a heart-to-heart conversation about remembering God's faithfulness and recognizing His goodness in our everyday lives. Come join me, my friend. Let's take a moment to be grateful for God’s goodness. GOD Says So™ is a Christian lifestyle brand with a ministry heart, created to glorify God.

  2. · 16 minTrusting God When You Don’t Know Where the Path Is Leading

    I'd love to hear from you. Send me a text! :) Have you walked down a path that you really believed God was leading you on… but you had absolutely no idea where that path was going? You’ve prayed. You’ve taken the steps you know to take. And yet, somewhere along the way, you realize: I can’t see what comes next. So how do you keep following God when you don’t know where the path is leading? In this episode of Faith-Inspired Living, we’re talking about three things to come back to as you follow Jesus… trust, surrender, and obedience. We’ll look at Psalm 25:4–5 and talk about what it means to trust God without knowing the outcome, surrender the plans you may be holding too tightly, and faithfully take the next step that is already clear. You don’t have to have the whole journey figured out today. Keep trusting God. Keep seeking Him. And keep walking by faith… one step at a time. ~ ~ ~ Continue with me on the new GOD Says So Podcast: GODSaysSoPodcast.com ~ ~ ~ Receive Your Free Guide: If the mission of passing God’s truth to the next generation speaks to your heart, download 7 Scriptures to Pray Over the Children You Love at: https://www.godsaysso.com/guide #FaithInspiredLiving #TrustGod #WalkByFaith #GodsTiming #WaitingOnGod GOD Says So™ is a Christian lifestyle brand with a ministry heart, created to glorify God.

  3. · 12 minWhen God Is Leading You Into a New Season

    I'd love to hear from you. Send me a text! :) How do we move forward when we believe God is leading us into something new—but He has not shown us how all the pieces will come together? A quiet season does not mean God is inactive, and it does not mean He has forgotten you. Sometimes, what feels like waiting is also a season of preparation. In this episode of the Faith-Inspired Living Podcast, we’re talking about: • Trusting God when the entire plan remains unclear • Recognizing when prayerful preparation needs to become faithful action • Taking the next step without having every answer • Staying rooted in God’s Word as He leads us forward I’m also sharing how God led me to build GOD Says So™—and what happened when I stopped trying to rush the process, surrendered to God’s will and timing, and trusted Him to reveal the next step. If you have been praying about what comes next, sensing a change, or wondering whether anything is happening during your waiting season, this episode is for you.

  6. · 9 minDon’t Go Back Just Because Waiting Is Hard

    I'd love to hear from you. Send me a text! :) Don’t let a hard season make the past look better than it really was. Because when moving forward feels hard… going back can start to look easier. Not because the past was better or easier … but because the past is familiar. And sometimes, when faith feels uncomfortable… the familiar past starts to look safe. But don’t confuse comfortable with God’s best. And don’t let a waiting season convince you to go back to something God already brought you out of. When waiting is uncomfortable… it is not a sign to quit. It may be the very place where God is teaching you to trust Him deeper. Don’t go back just because waiting is hard. 🩷 REMEMBER: You're not stuck. You’re in the Middle of a Miracle. ~ ~ ~ I have a question for you… Have you been asking yourself, “What do I actually do while I’m waiting?” I created a free guide just for you, it's called Faith in Motion: A 4-Day Guide to Moving Forward While You Wait.

    I'd love to hear from you. Send me a text! :) Have you ever felt like your business—or your life—is on pause? Waiting seasons can feel challenging—especially when you’re building a God-led business. It can feel like God pressed the pause button while the rest of the world keeps moving forward.

    I'd love to hear from you.

Year after year, I was asked to choose a word. And for many years, I would choose the word love. Because scripture tells us that God is love. But as I’ve grown in my faith… and as my walk with Jesus has deepened…the only word I want to focus on is Jesus. And when Jesus is the focus, love is already included. This episode is Scripture-rooted and meant to help you begin the year anchored in truth rather than what culture says.

    I'd love to hear from you. Send me a text! :) What if Christmas isn’t just a season of lights, decorations, and gifts—but a rescue mission? Before the lights, the gifts, and the gatherings, there was a promise. And on that holy night in Bethlehem, God was faithful to keep it. With Christmas just a few days away, I wanted to pause with you for a moment—right in the middle of all the preparations—to gently bring us back to the heart of this season.

  19. · 7 minThe Difference Between Happiness and Real, Jesus-Rooted Joy

    I'd love to hear from you. Send me a text! :) What if I told you that the joy God promises isn’t something you lose when life gets hard, but something that actually carries you through those hard times? If you’ve ever felt like your joy comes and goes depending on what’s happening around you… I get it. We’ve all experienced that rollercoaster… when something good happens, joy rises. When something falls apart, joy drops. But that’s happiness, not joy. This week on the Faith-Inspired Living Podcast, we’re talking about the difference between happiness and real, Jesus-rooted joy — the kind that doesn’t disappear when life gets hard or when your prayers are still in process. Because the truth is this: Joy isn’t tied to your circumstances. Joy is tied to your Savior. Hold onto Jesus and receive His joy! He’s working all things together for your good. ~ ~ ~ Just a quick reminder — the GOD Says So™ Shop is launching this January!

  20. · 9 minGratitude While You Wait

    I'd love to hear from you. Send me a text! :) It’s easy to be grateful and thank God when everything’s going right—but what about when you’re still… waiting for direction, waiting for provision, waiting for the promise God whispered to your heart, waiting for the miracle you’ve been praying for? This week on the Faith-Inspired Living Podcast, I’m sharing a short but powerful message on what it looks like to practice gratitude in the middle of your miracle — before anything shifts, before anything changes, before you see even a hint of the breakthrough. Because gratitude isn’t about your circumstances. It’s about trusting who God is while you wait. If you’re in an in-between season right now, this one will speak straight to your heart. Share with a friend who’s waiting on God, too. Let’s encourage one another to stay grateful, stay faithful, and keep walking in trust. 🙏 ~ ~ ~ ✨ A Gift For You!
