Description
Jessi Morgan in 2023 had a traumatic experience that shaped how she views life and her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God has laid it on her heart to share her experiences and inspire others to put God first in every aspect of their life like she finally did in hers. Having her daughter born 4 months early really made Jessi lean on the Lord for comfort and guidance. And today she stands here starting her own 10-15 minute podcast focusing on weekly devotionals about what God can do for you and what He's done for her.

Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… A spear on the wall, a vow in the field, and a choice that costs a kingdom—Jonathan and David’s story shows what real friendship looks like when it hurts. We walk through 1 Samuel 19–20 and unpack why covenant love isn’t about romance or convenience; it is about loyalty, sacrifice, and trust before God. Along the way, I share a hard lesson from a past relationship, the maturing of my marriage as we built on Scripture, and the small, fait...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… One line of praise changed a kingdom and a heart. When the crowds sang “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands,” a seed of envy took root that reshaped relationships, decisions, and peace. We explore that pivotal moment from 1 Samuel 17–18 and follow its echoes into our own lives, where comparison can sneak in through metrics, milestones, or a casual scroll and quietly drain our joy. I share a personal story from ...

Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… Have you ever looked back at a painful rejection and realized it was actually the best thing that could have happened to you? That crushing "no" or deafening silence that once felt like failure was actually divine protection? This week, we dive into the biblical story of Saul and David from 1 Samuel 15-16, exploring how God's rejection of Saul as king wasn't just punishment, but protection for Israel. When Saul selectively obeyed God's ...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… What happens when faith collides with pride on the battlefield? In this eye-opening devotional, we dive deep into 1 Samuel 14, where two contrasting approaches to crisis emerge through a father and son. The contrast couldn't be clearer: Jonathan moves in selfless faith while Saul operates from selfish pride. I share a personal story from my high school track days about a coach whose rigid, illogical "preparation plan" mirrors Saul's cou...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… What happens when we trust our own timing instead of God's? King Saul's story offers a sobering look at the consequences of impatience and the blessings that come from waiting on divine guidance. Welcome to Episode #68 of Jesse Morgan Devotions for the Christian Heart, where we dive into "Three Truths for a God-Centered Life" through the story of Israel's first king, Saul in 1 Samuel 11-13. This powerful scripture passage reveals both t...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… Have you ever found yourself somewhere you never planned to be, only to discover it was exactly where you needed to be all along? That's the powerful theme of this week's devotional as we explore "Lied to, yet Led by God" through 1 Samuel 9-10. I share my personal journey of moving to New York City for what I thought was a position in women's ready-to-wear at Macy's Herald Square, only to discover I'd been misled and placed in intimate ...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… Difficult decisions—we all face them, but how do we know when the painful choice is actually the right one? In this thought-provoking devotional, I share a personal story from my management days at Macy's flagship store in New York that taught me something profound about leadership and sacrifice. When my team faced dangerous working conditions in a sweltering sub-basement stockroom, I had to choose between preserving my spotless record ...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… Have you ever trained meticulously for something, perfected every detail, only to have someone switch things up right before the critical moment? That frustrating experience from my high school track days unexpectedly became the perfect analogy for understanding Israel's disastrous mistake in 1 Samuel 4-6. This week's devotional explores what happens when we abandon systems that work in favor of spiritual shortcuts. Israel made a...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… The heartbreaking legacy of Eli reveals a warning for all believers. Despite his prestigious position as Israel's high priest and Samuel's mentor, Eli's life ended in tragedy—not because he failed to recognize his sons' wickedness, but because he never moved beyond words to action. Drawing from 1 Samuel 2-4, I unpack how Eli's passive parenting style allowed his sons to desecrate the tabernacle through theft, bribery, and sexual immoral...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… Have you ever felt stuck in a barren season of life? That feeling of being fruitless when you expected growth and progress? You're not alone. This week, we dive into the powerful opening chapters of 1 Samuel, focusing on Hannah's extraordinary story. After years of childlessness and cruel mockery from her husband's second wife, Hannah pours out her heart to God in desperate prayer, promising to dedicate her son to His service if He woul...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… Have you ever watched something spiral so far out of control that it made you sick to your stomach? That's exactly what the final chapters of Judges feel like—a society in complete moral freefall. Diving into Judges 17-21, we confront some of the Bible's most disturbing passages—stories filled with idol worship, sexual violence, tribal warfare, and moral chaos. These chapters repeat a haunting refrain: "In those days Israel had no...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… Red flags appear in our lives for a reason—yet how often do we charge past them? In this powerful conclusion to Samson's story, we witness how one of the Bible's strongest men became undone by ignoring clear warning signs in his relationship with Delilah. Samson's tale serves as a sobering reminder that even God-anointed strength can be compromised when we entertain toxic relationships. Despite Delilah attempting to betray him thr...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… Have you ever wondered if God can use your flaws—even your anger—for His divine purpose? In this soul-stirring episode, we dive deep into the wild and often misunderstood story of Samson from Judges 14-15, discovering how God works through imperfect vessels. Samson's journey parallels this truth in extraordinary ways. We explore how this flawed hero—impulsive, vengeful, and often reckless—became God's chosen instrument for Israel's deli...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… What do you do when your life feels barren—when dreams seem impossible, finances are tight, or relationships are struggling? In this devotional episode, I explore the extraordinary birth story of Samson, focusing on his unnamed mother whose barrenness became the backdrop for one of God's most remarkable interventions. Feeling stuck in some area of your life? Join me in this devotional journey through Judges 13 and discover how faith fin...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… Bargaining with God is a subtle trap many Christians fall into without recognizing its implications for our faith journey. Through the story of Jephthah in Judges 11-12, we discover how unnecessary vows and conditional prayers reveal our struggle to fully trust God's character and goodness. This powerful biblical account mirrors our own tendency to negotiate with God rather than trust Him completely. When we pray, "Lord, if you just do ...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… Abandoning God is easier than we'd like to admit. In this raw, vulnerable episode, I share a deeply personal struggle from the past week when overwhelming stress, financial challenges, and parenting responsibilities led me to temporarily walk away from the very source of my peace. It's a pattern I've repeated—much like ancient Israel in Judges 10, who enjoyed forty-plus years of peace under godly leadership before turning back to false ...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… Have you ever watched someone step into leadership with all the wrong motivations? The catastrophic results can be both predictable and painful to witness. This week, I'm sharing a particularly personal devotional that weaves together my experience with an ego-driven retail manager and the shocking biblical account of Abimelech from Judges 9. What happens when someone claims authority because of who they know rather than who they serve?...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… Growing up, I always believed bigger was better. More soldiers, more teammates, more resources—that's how victories happen, right? Then I encountered the story of Gideon, where God deliberately reduced an army from 32,000 to just 300 men before a critical battle. "You have too many men," God told him. "Israel would boast against me, 'My own strength has saved me.'" This countercultural principle changed everything for me, especially whe...
Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement… What happens when God chooses the unexpected champion? In this soul-stirring episode, I explore the remarkable story of two extraordinary women from the book of Judges who changed the course of Israel's history through their courage and obedience. Diving deep into Judges 4-5, we meet Deborah—not just a judge but a prophetess chosen by God to lead Israel during a time of oppression. When military leader Barak refuses to go to battle with...
