Authentic You: Recent Episodes
Jesus Culture
Authentic You is a podcast brought to you by Seajay Liebscher, Co-Founder of Jesus Culture and Co-Lead Pastor of Jesus Culture Sacramento. This show focuses on what it means to live an authentic lifestyle, and gives women a space to fully be who God created them to be.
Seajay’s desire is that women would experience freedom from the pressures of society, social media, ministry, and the never-ending list of what tries to define our beauty and worth. Tune in every month for unscripted, often crazy, raw, and honest conversations about the up’s and down’s of life and how you can be free to live authentically you.
In this powerful episode, Tiina Fitzgerald, our friend and guest, shares her journey through the deep grief of being raised by her mom battling a mental health disorder and becoming a single mom after the sudden death of her daughter's father. SeaJay, Erika, and Deborah talk with Tiina about how she turned to the Lord and community for support and how the mandate to "take every thought captive" helped her navigate the painful journey. Tiina reflects on the importance of holding both grief and gratitude, trusting God’s faithfulness, and finding healing through Him in the midst of loss. Her story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, God’s comfort and presence can bring peace.

What happens when the lies we’ve believed about ourselves collide with the truth of who God says we are? In this powerful episode, Megan Schimmel sits down with SeaJay, Erika, and Deborah to share her journey from questioning where she fit into God’s story, to embracing her identity in Him. Born with physical challenges, she once believed her struggles were the result of sin, but through God’s radical pursuit of her, she discovered they were a reflection of His glory. Megan opens up about overcoming false identity, navigating hardship without bitterness, and leading the next generation with confidence. Her story is a powerful reminder that success isn’t the absence of struggle, but the decision to live authentically in God’s truth.

SeaJay and Erika introduce our newest, permanent addition to the Authentic You podcast, and catch up on life with her.
Do you think you are functioning in the fullness of God? Pastor SeaJay Liebscher shares her journey of discovering the fullness of God, and how to practically push past our own limited understanding of Him. The more we get to know God, the more He has for us!
Disciples of Jesus are free. Becoming a Christian demands that we believe in Jesus, not just of Him. Enjoy another special episode with a message from one of our favorite female preachers, Pastor Becky Johnson! She preached a powerful word about the difference between how the world defines freedom, and how God defines freedom. We are not called to live in bondage or be a slave to anything. Is there an area in your life where you are not free?
Are there areas in my life where I need to grow? SeaJay Liebscher and Erika Myburgh are joined by our Jesus Culture Sacramento Church Events Coordinator, Dana Regules, to discuss the process of growth in our lives. When we are in relationship with Jesus, we never graduate from opportunities to continue growing physically, spiritually, and emotionally. These opportunities, coupled with our willingness and desire to grow, will lead us into deeper intimacy with God and greater spiritual maturity.
Sometimes what God asks of us is not what we expected. SeaJay Liebscher and Erika Myburgh are joined by their good friend, Deborah Giles, the new Co-Director of the Jesus Culture School of Leadership, to talk about the favor and peace that comes from saying yes to God, and trusting His timing and process in our lives. We want to live full and valuable lives, and that is guaranteed as we follow Jesus, say yes to Him, and allow community to support and speak into your life.
Hot, cold, sad, mad, hungry, tired, irritable….menopause brings on all the changes and emotions in a woman. SeaJay and Erika discuss how menopause is a phase in life that we can’t escape. But, in midst of this season, God invites us to navigate these changes with Him. He made our bodies, and He knows exactly what we need to hear and do to make it through!
SeaJay and Erika introduce us to one of their favorite women, Pastor Jo Geerling, who shared with our Authentic You community at our last gathering. Pastor Jo, along with her husband, is the Senior Pastor of iSEE CHURCH in Brisbane, Australia, and shares a timely word on the significance of allowing God to qualify us in the hardest moments of our lives. We want to be women that are present in the season that God has us in. God often does His best work in the hardest seasons of our lives. If we let Him, He takes our challenges and makes them our greatest victories and testimonies.
Enjoy one of SeaJay and Erika's favorite episodes from the inception of the Authentic You podcast where SeaJay interviews real women about their season and life journey.
SeaJay Liebscher and Erika Myburgh are joined by Chloe Myburgh and Emma Pleune to continue their conversation about raising adult children, and how parents can encourage their kids along the journey into adulthood. Parents have the opportunity to dream with their children, help them pursue the things in their hearts, and teach them faithfulness and obedience to the Lord. Grace is required on both ends to walk through this season.
As moms, we are often so hard on ourselves, especially as our children age. SeaJay Liebscher and Erika Myburgh are joined by Chloe Myburgh and Emma Pleune to have a cross generational conversation about how to build friendship with your adult children, and also honor and respect each other.
This one goes out to you moms! We all want to parent and raise our kids well, but it’s hard. SeaJay Liebscher and Erika Myburgh discuss what it’s like to have older kids, how to relate to them, what it looks like to speak into their lives, and how to handle the challenges and frustrations that come with this phase of parenting.
The peace of God comes from trusting Him. SeaJay Liebscher and Erika Myburgh discuss how often times we trust our thoughts and feelings about circumstances more than God's voice and wisdom. When we have hard moments or hard conversations, we must discipline ourselves to rest in trusting God.
What is courage, and how do we live courageously? Courage is not facing the scariest things we’ve ever done, trying something new, or being the loudest voice, or leading. SeaJay Liebscher teaches us that courage is following in obedience in where the Lord is leading us, and then choosing to trust Him with where He is taking us.
God has a tendency to do great things through rejected women. Enjoy this special episode with a message from one of our favorites, Pastor Becky Johnson! She shared a powerful word about the story of Hagar at one of our Jesus Culture Sacramento Authentic You women’s gatherings. Enjoy!
As we grow older, our parents age with us, and this requires us to navigate difficult conversations, realizations, and circumstances. Join SeaJay Liebscher and Erika Myburgh as they discuss how to establish boundaries and stay close to Jesus through the process.
All women are called to mother and nurture. SeaJay Liebscher, Erika Myburgh, and Allie Fantozzi discuss how to balance kids, time with Jesus, and how motherhood often leads to some of the deepest healing in our lives as women. Prioritizing the voice of God in our lives will directly impact how we parent and mother the young people God has put in our lives.
As women, battling insecurity is inevitable, but we are called to overcome it with God! SeaJay Liebscher and Erika Myburgh discuss how the root of insecurity is comparison. Insecurity stems from a lack of certainty and knowing that God did not make a mistake when he created us. We will win the battle against insecurity when we find our identity in Jesus, acknowledge that He is our source, steward gratitude by thanking God for how He made us and what He gave us, and surrounding ourselves with friends that will help us grow by reminding us of who we are.
Often times we excuse gossip for "processing" with our friends, when we discuss things, people, or circumstances in our lives that are happening, hard, or have hurt us. Join SeaJay Liebscher, Erika, Myburgh, and our Jesus Culture Events Coordinator, Allie Fantozzi, as they unpack what gossip really is, and what the Bible says about it.
Disappointment is hard and we all face it! Join SeaJay Liebscher and Erika Myburgh as they unpack what we should do when we think we deserve more, and we feel unseen or undervalued. Where we go to get courage and how we handle disappointment is important as we learn how to move forward in trusting God.
SeaJay and Erika bid our fan favorite host, Becky Johnson, farewell, as they announce some exciting changes around our Jesus Culture Sacramento Church that involve her!
SeaJay and Erika are joined by Lyndsee Rentfrow, our Jesus Culture Sacramento Life on Life Pastor, to share about having a baby during quarantine, and her expectations of motherhood verses reality.
Personal relationship with Jesus means that we can hear and know the voice of God in our lives, but it must be stewarded. You can't know someone that you don't talk to. Deborah Giles joins SeaJay and Erika to talk about the different ways we can hear God.
This week on Authentic You, the ladies talk to special guest Co-Host, Katie Torwalt, on what it look likes when our dreams come true! Sometimes the reality of getting what we have been praying for, fighting for and waiting for is a lot different than we expect.
This month’s discussion is raw and vulnerable, as we openly talk about the life shift that things like new babies bring, the up’s and down’s of success, and the real-life journey we are all on as we pursue what God has promised us.

One of our most requested topics has been working moms! In this episode we sit down with three working moms to get real about the struggle of pursuing a career while also raising a family.

Carly bravely shares her own journey through comparison with beautiful transparency. Seajay, Becky, and Erika share their own struggles on this topic that seems to hit home with every woman, no matter where she is in life.
This month the ladies share their dating stories! Whether you’re married, engaged, dating, or single, you’ll find entertainment and encouragement as they recall their journey of finding their spouse.
This week on Authentic You, the ladies talk to special guest Co-Host, Katie Torwalt, on what it look likes when our dreams come true! Sometimes the reality of getting what we have been praying for, fighting for and waiting for is a lot different than we expect.
This month’s discussion is raw and vulnerable, as we openly talk about the life shift that things like new babies bring, the up’s and down’s of success, and the real-life journey we are all on as we pursue what God has promised us.
We hope you find encouragement and find yourself as you tune in!
This month we celebrate 1 year of Authentic You and sit down for a vulnerable life update with Hosts, Seajay, Becky and Erika.
On this month's Authentic You, we bring you a live episode! We recorded a conversation at the Jesus Culture Sacramento Women's Retreat. Our regular hosts, SeaJay, Erika and Becky, are joined by Jesus Culture Music Artist, Katie Torwalt. Listen to this light-hearted, but honest discussion on one of the pressing issues of today, "How do we handle social media in our lives?".
