The Heart Helper
Welcome to The Heart Helper Podcast, hosted by Jodie Shannon—transformational author of The Book of Real S**t, Flowers in the Garden, and the highly anticipated devotional Out of Comfort Into Calling. This award-winning podcast isn't just content—it's a calling. In a world chasing influence, we offer something deeper: connection, conviction, and Christ.
At The Heart Helper, we believe healing happens when hearts get honest. Rooted in biblical truth and spiritual transparency, this podcast is a sacred space for the stories that shape us. Every episode invites you into powerful conversations with people who've overcome alcoholism, depression, divorce, suicidal thoughts, and more—guided back to life through faith, forgiveness, and grace. You'll also hear testimonies of restoration, God-ordained marriages, and the beauty of becoming who you were always meant to be.
This isn't about perfection—it's about the process. And if you're ready to rise from where you are to where God is calling you, you're in the right place.
Named Best Mind, Body & Soul Podcast by the Urban Media Film Festival, we exist to help you manage your mind, strengthen your spirit, and honor your heart. Inspired by Jodie's upcoming book Out of Comfort Into Calling, each episode is your invitation to walk boldly in purpose.
Join us on the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 12PM EST. This is more than a podcast—it's heart work for your healing.

Bible Discovery: The Book of Ruth - Stepping Into Your Calling
What does it take to leave everything familiar behind and walk into the unknown? In this episode of Bible Discovery, we dive deep into the powerful story of Ruth—a woman who chose faith over comfort and obedience over security.
Ruth's journey from Moab to Bethlehem wasn't just a geographical move; it was a complete surrender of everything she knew. By stepping out of her comfort zone, Ruth positioned herself to walk into a calling far greater than she could have imagined. Her obedience didn't just change her life—it transformed her from a widowed foreigner into an ancestor of King David and Jesus Christ himself. Her life became abundant because she trusted God's plan over her own understanding.
In this episode, we'll explore:
- Why comfort can be the enemy of calling
- How Ruth's leap of faith opened doors to abundance
- The difference between our will and God's will for our lives
- What God might be asking you to leave behind today
Here's the uncomfortable truth: your comfort zone is often your will, not God's. When we cling to what feels safe and familiar, we might be missing the extraordinary life God has planned for us.
Join us as we unwrap Ruth's story together and discover what stepping into your calling really looks like. It's time to ask yourself: What is God telling you to leave behind?
