Jean Symons Podcast

“I want to make a difference.” If you've ever said those words, this episode is for you. 🙌 Many of us long for purpose and impact—but what if you already are making a difference? And what if the key question is not if you’re influencing others, but how?

In this episode, we explore what it means to be salt and light (Matthew 5) in three spheres: individual lives, organizational spaces, and the broader community. You'll learn how to identify your passion, assess your capacity, and discover how God wants to use what’s already in your hand—just like He did with Moses. 🧂💡

This is a practical, faith-filled invitation to bring God's presence, love, and hope wherever you are. 🔥

You don’t need to wait. You don’t need to be perfect. Just start with what you have. Let’s live this difference—together. 🎧

As we celebrate Easter, we’re reminded not only of Christ’s resurrection but also of our invitation to live a victorious life—right here, right now. 🙌 In this powerful episode, we explore Romans 5:17 and the promise that we can reign in life through Jesus Christ.

What does that look like? It’s not about dominance—but about living from a place of grace, righteousness, and servant-hearted authority in your relationships, emotions, creativity, and work. 💡❤

Discover how receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness transforms your posture toward yourself, your family, and your world. 🌍 From the cross to your calling, God’s much more gospel is alive in you!

Let this Easter mark a new season of reigning—not as a slave to circumstances, but as a beloved child of God, filled with purpose and power. 🕊

🎧 Tune in now and step into resurrection life

In this episode, we uncover the truth that you were MADE for more—just as the inspiring South African rugby team redefined their roles to achieve consistent success, your personal journey can spark transformative change in your organization and community. 🌟💪

Drawing inspiration from timeless biblical heroes and modern-day stories, discover how rising up with boldness can illuminate your unique purpose. When you arise and shine, you not only achieve personal triumph—you light the way for others. 🚀🔥

Tune in now and let God’s guiding power empower you to lead with passion and make a lasting impact. Your moment to shine is here! 🙌✨

As we step into 2025, this episode challenges us to see ourselves as heroes of faith—not just distant observers of the greats in Hebrews 11, but active participants in God's story today. 📖✨

We explore how faith isn't limited to church activities but fuels justice, creativity, leadership, and cultural transformation. Faith-filled people have built schools, hospitals, and charities, shaping history. And now, it's our turn! 💡🏗

What’s your next step? Allow God’s creative energy to stir dreams inside you—dreams that solve real-world challenges and bring His glory to your community. Hebrews 11:1 reminds us: Faith is the confidence in what we hope for and the assurance of what we do not see.

🔥 You are part of God’s unfolding story—step forward in faith, create, lead, and transform! 🎧

In this episode, we dive deep into Psalm 23 and discover fresh insights to guide us into the new year. David’s timeless words remind us that we are led, protected, and provided for by our Good Shepherd—Jesus. 🙏 Reflecting on each promise, we see how God restores our souls, offers us peace, and leads us through life’s challenges.

But there’s more: as we experience His care, we’re also invited to “shepherd” those around us. Whether guiding our children, mentoring colleagues, or nurturing friendships, we can reflect the Shepherd’s love and goodness. 🤝🌱

This season, let Psalm 23 bring hope, renewing your trust in God’s constant presence. Discover the joy, mercy, and provision He longs to pour into your life. Tune in and step into the coming year with the Good Shepherd’s promises lighting your way. 

In this heartfelt episode, we explore what it means to live with hope in the face of devastating loss. After a recent fire destroyed our home, we understandably experienced grief—but also found unexpected blessings amidst the ashes. 🙏

Discover the three questions we asked ourselves: What happened to us? What’s happening inside of us? and What is happening for us? 🕊 These questions guided us to see the love and support from our community and the grace of God at work in our lives.

Join us as we uncover the beauty of community, gratitude, and God’s transformative power during trials. Whether you're facing loss or know someone who is, this episode brings encouragement, perspective, and a reminder that even in suffering, God is crafting something beautiful. 🌅💪

Listen in and let hope rise.

In this episode, we dive deep into one of life’s most profound questions: What is your dream for the future? Through the lens of God’s transformative power, we explore the compelling vision of the Doxa Deo and City Changers Movement—where God's transforming presence fills global cities. 🌆

Drawing inspiration from Acts 2:14 and Habakkuk 2:14, we discuss how God's glory and influence are meant to cover the earth. You are called to be a carrier of His presence, bringing His light, warmth, and creativity to every space you enter. 🌅

Our calling is not about our job title or our social status. It's about using our gifts and talents to make a difference in the world. In this podcast, we'll talk about what it means to have a Godly calling and how to discover yours.

If you want to love people well, you're going to run out of capacity. It's impossible for you to lead 100 people at the same level of quality. It's impossible. I remember reading that John Maxwell said, effectively, you can only lead 5 to 7 people. Jesus had 12. That was part of His inner circle, but he chose three out of the 12 that he took everywhere with Him. In this podcast I'll be encouraging you in finding your twelve.
