  • HSIF S. 2 Ep. 7 - Solid Help for Weary Souls
    May 4 2026
    In this final episode of Season 2 of He Said It First, Jenna and Erin sit with the reality so many counselors and everyday people are quietly carrying... weariness. The kind that settles deep in the bones after walking through hard seasons, holding space for others, and navigating the weight of life’s demands.
    Together, they offer both honest acknowledgment and steady hope, grounding the conversation in Scripture and gentle reminders of what we are truly called to cling to when strength feels thin. This episode is for the counselor who is tired, the helper who feels stretched, and the person who has simply had a lot to carry. It is a moment to pause, to be reminded, and to realign with truth. Be sure to stay with us all the way to the end as we close out the season with the full He Said It First theme song, a final exhale before we step away for a short break.

    & Thank you for being part of this season with us.
    Sending you love and light, and we will see you again later this summer or fall, or whenever we feel like plugging in the mics again. :)

  • HSIF Season 2 Ep. 6 - Faithful, But By the Book
    Apr 13 2026
    In this episode, Jenna puts Jenna on the spot and asks her to walk through, off the top of her head, what it really looks like to honor professional standards while staying grounded in Biblical truth. What unfolds is an honest, thoughtful conversation about the tension clinicians often feel between calling and code- between what we believe deeply and what we are ethically bound to practice. We talk through APA guidelines, how they protect both the client and the counselor, and where therapists can feel the quiet friction of wanting to bring more of their faith into the room. It is real, unscripted, and grounded in the kind of nuance that Christian counselors navigate every day, on how to remain clinically sound without losing the heart of why we do this work in the first place.

    Listen in and enjoy!

  • HSIF Season 2 Ep. 4 - The Interview w. Dr. Sean Blacksten & Tim Meister
    Mar 29 2026
    While Erin was off conquering the Alps (and probably finding life metaphors somewhere between the slopes and the snow), Jenna held down the mic with her husband Tim Meister and Dr. Sean Blackston for a conversation that feels equal parts origin story and behind-the-scenes look at the heart of Higher Hopes Online and Higher Hopes Institute. They dive into the calling that led them into Biblical counseling, the winding road that got them here, and the principles that shape how they care for others and themselves, along the way. It’s thoughtful, grounded, and quietly powerful… with just enough warmth and real-life honesty to remind you that this work isn’t just taught, it’s lived.
