This podcast series has been such a wonderful way to start and end my day as I commute. It is refreshing to my soul to hear about different testimonies of God’s glory shining in even the darkest of moments. I am so grateful for these women who willingly share their stories and am learning so much about how to comfort others while being reminded of God’s incredible character in the process!
I heard about this show from Jamie Ivey and listened to her episode. I was hooked from that episode and have started listening to every single episode. I just finished episode 54 with Amber Haines. Hearing people’s honesty as they speak about their mud is so refreshing. There seems to be an episode that anyone could relate to no matter what mud they’ve experienced in their own lives. I am so thankful to have heard about this show. I know I have been blessed by it as I’m sure many others have. Thank you for starting it and I hope you have new episodes soon!!
I found your podcast a couple months ago and I’m listening to 2-3 per day trying to catch up. Love all your episodes. Very encouraging. Thank you for all your hard work.😊
Aren't you tired of Pinterest-perfect women talking about how they get it all done? Or how they hire people for their vast businesses? Wouldn't you rather hear the real struggles people have? Particularly those people who seem to have it all together? This podcast does that! While you may hear about the ugly underbelly of tough times, you will always be pointed to the One who straightens everything out. Well worth your time!
I love this podcast so much! It has been such a blessing to me. Jacquie is a great host, so empathic and wise. She shares her own mud which allows others to be vulnerable as well. The podcast has helped me not feel so alone in my own suffering. The stories are such a great blend of honest sharing and giving glory to Jesus. Love it!!!
It gives me hope to listen to all the ways the guests crawled out of the "mud" in their lives. The host does an excellent job interviewing and offering commentary.
Jacque is such a gifted encourager! I just love Mud Stories! All of her guests are incredible. I enjoy listening to how God has moved them from the "mud" and onto dry ground.
Jacque has a lovely sincere manner that shines through her interviews. As a Catholic convert, I appreciate that there hasn't been any anti-Catholic undertones (I have heard this in other podcasts by Christian women and had to unsubscribe). We are all sisters in Christ, after all :) The latest interview with Ann Voskamp was beautiful. Her concept of the broken way, and that "our suffering is a gift," is the message of redemptive suffering that has been taught by the fathers, doctors and saints of the Catholic Church over the past 2,000 years. Something for us all to ponder in this world where we seem to do everything we can to eliminate suffering.
Every episode I've heard allows me to feel relief from some of my own muddy moments. Thank you to everyone on this podcast for your courage to share and how you are willing to impact others.
Looking forward to catching up on all of these and many more to come.
Jaque Watkins and her guests literally bring healing to the door of broken & wounded hearts and point us to the Healer who is just waiting there to restore and redeem our weakness and mistakes. The collective wisdom and transparency represented here is pure gold, and will leave you feeling so grateful that there are those willing to tell their true stories so creating a space where Truth can do its work in your heart, mind and life.
I am not usually a fan of listening, but once I decided to try Jacque's Mud Stories, I was hooked. Each story is heartfelt. Jacque's questions are ones I would ask if I were sitting with these women. After each episode, I am filled with encouragement and hope. Each and every story is worth hearing.
No one is trying to be perfect in this podcast. It's honest and encouraging, which are two words that cannot be used to describe many things these days. Thank you for sharing your heart in your most recent podcast about resistance. I'm a RN who is literally paralyzed with fear when trying to work on my Masters Degree at the moment. I'm trying to examine what it is that I am afraid of.
Listening to this podcast is such a great encouragement. It feels like sitting with Jacque and friends in Starbucks and talking about the goodness of God and how to live in light of Christ's love. Keep up the fabulous work!
Every guest has such an amazing story of how God has walked them through the mud in their life. Such an encouragement from week to week. Listen and be encouraged and inspired!
So thankful for this podcast. It has been such an encouragement to me as a mother and wife. I love listening to these episodes as I clean or work around the house. It encourages my heart and continually points me back to Jesus and his extravagant love for me.
I fell more in love with Mud Stories after hearing Jacque's own mud story and gaining a deeper understanding of her heart for doing this podcast. She has some amazing guests who always point to God's grace and hope in the midst of the mud.
I travel for work and I no longer dread my lengthy car rides. Im working my way thru the past episodes and each episode of podcast has been a blessing. I have shared several episodes with friends. Thank you for the work you are doing!
Whew, these are some brave folks sharing very vulnerably their failures and inadequacies… and its so encouraging, life giving, refreshing and hopeful! Jacque is an excellent host and interviewer, and her guests always share stories of how powerful, big, merciful, gracious and loving our God is!
I really enjoy listening to Mud Storiees. I hit play, plug in my headphones and walk. I even do another lap just to hear the full interview, ha! Each guest has a story to share that we can all gleam wisdom from. And Jacquie does a great job interviewing each one. Truly a gracious host.
Good Christian non-sermon podcasts are hard to find. This show has a great message of patient endurance and hope. I always love to see how God moves in our lives by hearing people on the other side. 👌
Im so thankful the Lord brought this podcast into my life. Ive cried. Ive laughed. Ive grown. And Ive learned to love and forgive. We all have our own mud story. This will give you the courage to let your mud story help another.
How am I just now finding this podcast? Thanks to Jamie Ivey for recommending it, just listened to her story .... I've got 74 to go to catch up! Thank you Jacque for making this encouragement available!
This podcast is a life line to me as I work through my own mud…. so grateful to know I’m not alone in life’s struggles and that God really does make beautiful things out of the dust.
I love these "mud" stories. It is so encouraging to hear how God can and does redeem our past. So thankful for all the brave women who share their personal mud story each week. Thanks for hosting this great podcast, Jacque.
