What does it look like to choose Christ when life feels messy, unfinished, and overwhelming?

In this deeply tender conversation, Jenny and Lee are joined by Christ-centered coach Kirstin Baxter to talk about discipleship in real life — motherhood, comparison, imposter syndrome, grief, identity, and the quiet work of becoming.

Together, they explore what it means to partner with Christ daily, to embrace both our divine and human selves, and to recognize that growth never means outgrowing our need for the Savior.

This episode is an invitation to stop striving for arrival, to release comparison and shame, and to trust that grace meets us exactly where we are. Choosing Christ doesn’t require perfection — it requires partnership, honesty, and a willingness to walk with Him, even (and especially) in the messy middle.
