He Restores My Soul with Jani Ortlund seeks to encourage women with God’s renewing power for their busy lives. Episodes include relevant biblical teaching, stimulating gospel conversations with other Christians, and “Ask Jani” sessions where we talk about what’s on our listeners’ hearts.

I first heard Jani speak a couple of years ago on another podcast and was so inspired and became a big fan of hers. I have read Fearlessly Feminine, and the message she shares there and here is so needed in our generation! I love listening to Jani and Heidi while folding laundry, feeding my 6 month old, running errands in the minivan, doing dishes, watching my 2 year old play, or during naptime! I wish I lived close to them because I want Heidi to be my friend!! Thank you, ladies, for reminding us of the good way of following Christ, and for pointing us to him in the everyday moments! Every time I listen, my soul feels restored by God! 💗

Blessed by these precious women!!

I find this podcast so uplifting and soul-restoring. It’s so nice to just sit and listen to the wisdom of these Godly women and to fed. Knowing that what I struggle with is real and that others feel it, too, is so helpful, and these women address it in a way that is not only comforting, but helpful and encouraging. Thank you!

Amazingly blessed
