  Episode #120

  Did You Mishear God? Purpose & Identity w/ Jake Giffin | Ep 120

  Aug 19, 202648 minS2

  ✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE In Episode 120 of Halfway to Sunday , Jill sits down with Christian coach, author, speaker, entrepreneur, and podcast host Jake Giffin for an honest conversation about disappointment, trust, and identity in Christ. Jake shares how a failed church plant and an unrealized dream of pastoral ministry led him to pull away from God and question his faith. Together, Jill and Jake explore what happens when obedience does not produce the outcome we expected, why trials can refine what cannot be learned any other way, and how proximity to God builds trust. They also unpack the false identities we use to protect ourselves, including the performer, people pleaser, and perfectionist, and the fear or shame often hiding underneath them. The conversation ultimately lands on a freeing truth: our identity cannot be built on a role, achievement, or other people’s approval. We become rooted by learning who God says we are. ****** PODCAST SHOW NOTES: Full episodes now out on YouTube! ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) Listen on Apple Spotify Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) Questions/Guest Requests ****** ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.

  Aug 12, 202645 minS2

  ✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE In Episode 119 of Halfway to Sunday , Jill sits down with her friend Janelle McGuckin, author of The Gift of With , for an honest conversation about loneliness, friendship, and rebuilding community after relational hurt.

  Grace, Works, and Real Faith w/ Cathy Garland | Ep 118

  Aug 5, 202652 minS2

  ✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE In Episode 118 of Halfway to Sunday , Jill welcomes back Cathy Garland for a gentle theological wrestling match between two passages that often confuse Christians: Ephesians 2, which says we are saved by grace and not by works, and James 2, which says faith without works is dead. Cathy explains why Paul and James are not contradicting each other. Paul tells us how we are made right with God, while James describes what a life transformed by God begins to look like. Together, Jill and Cathy discuss legalism, grace, obedience, spiritual fruit, and the danger of turning faith into a performance. They also explore why lasting transformation begins with knowing and receiving God’s love. This conversation offers freedom for anyone who fears they are not doing enough, while still inviting believers into an active faith that naturally produces love, obedience, and care for others. ****** PODCAST SHOW NOTES: Full episodes now out on YouTube! ➡️ Watch: Halfway to Sunday (Full Episodes) Listen on Apple Spotify Join the community + bonus content (Patreon) Questions/Guest Requests ****** ABOUT US Halfway to Sunday is a weekly faith-based podcast for people who want Jesus but still have questions, sharing honest, hope-filled stories of real faith through joy and loss, healing and growth, and even doubt.

  How to Find Purpose in the Wilderness w/ Val Kleppen | Ep 117

  Jun 10, 202625 minS2

  In Episode 117 of Halfway to Sunday , Jill continues her conversation with Val Kleppen about wilderness seasons (Part 2); those stretches where you can’t see what God is doing and you’re desperate for clarity. Val offers a perspective-shifting challenge: why do we assume we need answers before we obey? She shares how a faithful life creates ripples that can impact generations, even if we never see the fullness of our influence. Jill and Val also talk about the gift of the Psalms, how Scripture makes room for grief, lament, and even anger, while still leading us back to trust. This episode is honest, grounding, and hopeful: pain is real, God is good, and joy can still be found in the wilderness. If you’ve been tempted to quit or stay silent, this conversation will strengthen you to keep going.

  <p>In Episode 116 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with Val Kleppen (host of The Motherhood Experience Podcast) for an honest conversation about the wilderness seasons when prayers feel unanswered, direction feels unclear, and you’re trying to stay faithful anyway. Val shares from real life: grief, deep wrestling, and the exhaustion that comes from trying to control outcomes when everything feels uncertain. Together they talk about what it looks like to surrender in the waiting, why lament is not faithlessness, and how the Psalms can become a tether back to God when you don’t have words. This epis...
