  • A Murder Two Years in the Making

    A Murder Two Years in the Making
    Jul 21 2026
    What happens when justice never comes? In this episode, we're picking up right where we left off in 2 Samuel. Two years have passed since Tamar's assault, David has remained silent, and Absalom has been waiting. Together, we'll unpack the revenge, the heartbreak, and the devastating consequences of unresolved sin and discover what this story reveals about justice, forgiveness, and the God who sees what people ignore. I'd love to hear your thoughts or answer your questions! You can find me on Instagram @theycallmejess_ or email me at notsoparallelpod@gmail.com.

  • Meet the Family Who Lost Everything

    Meet the Family Who Lost Everything
    Jul 14 2026
    What if I told you one of the most heartbreaking family stories ever told isn't on Netflix, it's in the Bible? In this episode, we begin walking through the house of King David, where hidden sin, silence, and devastating choices begin to unravel an entire family. But before we ask what this story says about us, we're asking a different question: What does this reveal about God? Welcome to a new chapter of Not So Parallel. Let's follow the thread together. **Skip to 22:20 if needed **

  • We Finally Talked About It w/ Alex Henderson

    We Finally Talked About It w/ Alex Henderson
    Apr 20 2026
    In this episode, Alex and I sit down and honestly just talk. Like really talk. About us, about where things have felt a little unclear, and how easy it is to let silence or assumptions start filling in the gaps without even realizing it. We get into our relationship, the “what are we” type of tension, and what it actually looks like when you stop avoiding certain conversations and just say things out loud. But it doesn’t stay in one place we also talk about career, direction, and what we’re both trying to figure out individually while still figuring out how that fits together. And faith is woven into all of it how it shapes the way we think, the way we handle timing, and how we try to make sense of what we’re stepping into right now.

  • Stop Being So Accessible

    Stop Being So Accessible
    Apr 6 2026
    Let's break down the high cost of emotional accessibility. We often mistake being "available" for being "kind," but without a perimeter, your peace is at the mercy of everyone else’s mess. Using the ancient leadership of Nehemiah, this episode provides a masterclass in rebuilding your life from the rubble of "yes." We’re diving deep into the psychology of Hyper-vigilance, the trap of the "Ono" distraction, and the "CEO Strategy" of the Sword and the Trowel. It’s time to stop building homes in cities with no walls. Pick up your bricks. Grab your sword. You are doing a great work, and you cannot come down. If this episode hit home, I want to hear from you. Let’s talk about your "Wall-Check" challenge this week. Instagram: @theycallmejess_ & @notsoparallelpod_ Email: notsoparallelpod@gmail.com

  • God, Are You Even Listening?

    God, Are You Even Listening?
    Mar 30 2026
    In this episode of Not So Parallel, we walk through one of the most honest prayers in the Bible, Psalm 13. Have you ever felt like God was silent? Like your prayers were going unanswered? Like you were stuck in the middle of a story that just won’t move forward? David did too. Together, we break down the emotional journey of this psalm from the plea, to the exhaustion, to the fear, and finally to a faith that doesn’t ignore the struggle… but holds it. This isn’t a surface-level devotional. This is a deep dive into what it actually looks like to talk to God when you’re tired, confused, and still waiting. If you’ve ever asked “How long, God?” this conversation is for you 📩 Contact / Connect I’d love to hear your thoughts, questions, or what this episode stirred up in you: Email: notsoparallelpod@gmail.com Instagram: @theycallmejess_ Podcast IG: @notsoparallelpod_
