If you love Seen and Heard, please be sure to leave a review!
Have you ever followed what you knew God was asking you to do — and ended up feeling lonelier than ever? You're not crazy, and you're not alone.
In this episode of the Seen and Heard Christian podcast, Cami talks about what it really feels like to walk in spiritual discernment — especially when obedience doesn’t come with instant peace or external validation. If you’ve ever asked, “Did I hear God right?” or wrestled with how quiet it feels after doing the right thing, this episode will meet you there.
This is a vulnerable, honest conversation for the believer who is trying to stay faithful, even when it’s hard.
🔑 What You’ll Learn: * Why obedience can feel lonely (even when it’s right) * What discernment actually looks like in everyday decisions * The emotional toll of saying yes to God and no to others * How to trust God when your yes leads to quiet seasons * Encouragement for the woman who feels invisible in her faith
📖 Bible Verses Shared: * Proverbs 3:5–6 (NASB) – Trusting God when you don’t understand * Psalm 25:4–5 (NASB) – Asking God to lead when the path isn’t clear
✨ Perfect For You If: * You’re walking through a lonely season of obedience * You’ve set boundaries and now feel isolated * You want to grow in your spiritual discernment * You’re wondering if following God is supposed to feel like this
🎧 Subscribe to Seen and Heard for weekly Christian encouragement, biblical truth, and real talk for the one who feels invisible but deeply known by God.

Join Cami to talk about what happens when saying yes becomes a habit rooted in guilt, pressure, or people-pleasing — and how to start walking in Spirit-led peace instead of constant burnout.
linktr.ee/camireneejones
Join Cami to talk about the emotional tension of following God’s voice, especially when it costs you relationships or people misread your motives. This one names the ache of obedience and the peace that eventually follows.
linktr.ee/camireneejones
Join Cami to talk about the ways we fill our lives with noise — scrolling, staying busy, staying “on” — and how that keeps us from facing the ache God actually wants to meet.
https://linktr.ee/camireneejones
Join Cami to talk about the subtle ways our phones have become our escape — and how that can quietly replace the very stillness we say we’re craving with God.
Key Takeaways:
- Scrolling isn’t always about laziness — it’s often about aching
- We can’t complain about silence with God if we never make space
- Stillness isn’t punishment — it’s where intimacy happens
- God hasn’t stopped speaking — we’ve stopped slowing down
https://linktr.ee/camireneejones
Join Cami to talk about the lie that says “you should be further along by now” — and how becoming is slow, holy work that God is still doing in you.
Key Takeaways:
- You’re not behind — you’re becoming
- Growth is still growth, even when it’s quiet
- God finishes what He starts
- You don’t have to prove you’re changing — just keep walking
https://linktr.ee/camireneejones
Join Cami to talk about the hard realization that some people simply won’t show up for you — and how to stop waiting for them to become someone they’ve already shown they’re not.

Kelsey Chapman is an author, podcaster, and personal cheerleader women building their dream life and business.
When she first launched her own brand in 2015, she felt all the
overwhelming feelings, too. It was scary to take such a huge leap and commit to showing up for a dream she didn’t know would pan out. Mentorship is what pushed her to rise up.
Over the first few years of business, she leaned on the shoulders of incredible mentors who took her under their wing and taught her how to make the jump from dreamer to doer. Kelsey needed their expert wisdom to shift old perspectives, discover the next right steps that would help her execute the vision, and stay hopeful throughout the journey.
Kelsey’s mentors helped shape her character so she could become the CEO and leader she is today. Now she is excited to pay it forward and be that cheerleader for you, too... because she believes YOU can turn your wildest dreams into REALITY.

Chasing Sacred started as Mikella Van Dyke’s outlet to write and share what God was teaching her through her time in the Word. Mikella had recently transitioned into married life, moved from NYC where she was pursuing a dance career, and left her upbringing in Thailand as a Third Culture Kid. The myriad of transitions left her with only ONE choice to chase God first and foremost over all else.
From the author of the blog and Instagram account, Chasing Sacred, comes a woman’s one-stop-shop for sound theology and Christian community.
What started as a devotional blog quickly evolved into teaching women how to study the Bible.
Chasing Sacred is a ministry that offers truth-based resources for those that want to take their Faith seriously through sound theology, and Inductive Bible Study.
The Chasing Sacred team has grown in order to provide resources to women from and through every walk of life.

Lisa and Allison are sisters who are passionate about giving back. "Christmas is one of our favorite holidays, filled with fun + festive traditions. As we began to raise our own families, we often felt like the true meaning of Christmas and the spirit of giving was getting lost in the hustle and bustle of the season. We put pen to paper, wood to the saw, and clay in our hands to create a book, manger + baby Jesus –– a complete tradition to help families focus on giving and the real meaning of Christmas.
Our goal was to create beautiful, timeless pieces that are built to last and will be used by your family year after year. Countless hours were spent writing the book, carving a baby out of clay and hand-crafting the wooden manger.
We believe in this tradition and the way it can help shift the focus of Christmas to serving. To us, this is more than a business. It’s a way to spread kindness + promote service."
The Giving Manger helps families shift the focus of
Christmas back to giving. A piece of straw is placed in
the manger for each kind deed or act of service per-
formed.
On Christmas Day, the Baby is placed in the manger
filled with service and love.
As your family works together to give gifts of service
you will find your hearts and home filled with more joy
during the holiday season than ever before.
The Giving Manger comes in a box set with a book,
manger, straw, and a Baby Jesus.

God promises us in Exodus 3:8 that he has a plan and a destination for our lives, and though we face troubles in this life, it is a plan that leads to purpose and fullness of joy. So let's get comfortable and go on this journey of discovering our purpose in God together.

It’s no secret that we are in extreme spiritual warfare, especially these days. This year as been tough. As a nation, the US has been navigating through a pandemic that has left an unprecedented amount of loss of hope. We are experiencing a disunity between races, political beliefs and extreme hatred towards one another. Now, hear me out, because I know this is tough. As believers in Jesus Christ and God’s eternal Kingdom, we know that God is our authority, not man.
First, we touch on the heart and then move into grace and forgiveness.

Callie Ammons is a type 3 Enneagram life coach, podcaster, and speaker!
Four years ago, Callie went on a journey of trying to understand who she was at her core - who God made her to be. She quickly realized that her feelings of being "stuck", were not something that could be fixed by chai tea lattes. Through this process, she learned the true power of God's Word, our minds, and the Enneagram - leading her to become a certified Enneagram life coach.
Living in Northwest Arkansas, Callie helps people all over the country live in the freedom and abundance that God calls us to. It is her belief that true freedom awaits you, you just have to wake up to the opportunity that's calling your name.
Fully believing that Jesus Himself leads to all transformation, and learning how the Lord uses the Enneagram as a tool to draw those closer to Him and live abundantly - she knew she couldn’t keep it in. And so, the Living Enneagram Podcast was born!

Comparison is the thief of joy.
We are born into a world of sin, where our flesh craves desire. In this episode, I talk about how I have experienced comparison, along with how God has helped me see to try and lead a Spirit-led life.

Why is prayer important? If God knows what I need, why should I pray? Let’s think about it this way: when we read the Bible, God is speaking to us. When we pray, we are speaking to Him. Isn’t that something!? We long to hear God’s voice.
We can easily think, if God knows everything, including my every thought, and knows what I need, why do I need to pray? Why should I tell him about what’s on my heart, if I trust that He is good and cares for me?

Hey, friend. Welcome to The Bless it or Block it Podcast. My name is Cami Jones and I am beyond excited to start this podcast journey. Today, I am going to go over what you can expect in this podcast, who I am, and how I believe this podcast will bring truth and encouragement to our prayer life.
You may be wondering, why Bless it or Block it? This is a prayer that I rely on when I am feeling discouraged and need God’s guidance. Looking back, I can vividly see how God blessed or blocked relationships, circumstances, situations, etc. for His plan and not my own, even if my heart was set on it.
In Bless it or Block it, you will be hearing from myself on how specifically God has worked in my life through prayer, as well as, guests who will be joining and giving insight on how prayer has impacted their lives.
Who am I? I am Cami, a wife and mom, with an entrepreneurial spirit, on a mission for Christ. I believe there is power in the truth of God’s Word and that prayer is the most valuable tool we Christians have.
I believe this podcast will encourage us as we fight this spiritual battle with prayer and obedience to God. I cannot wait to get started and see how God uses this space for His glory and to further His Kingdom!
