What Is “Handmade Faith”? How to Build a Stronger Relationship with God with Jolee Carroll

What does it actually look like to build a strong, personal relationship with God—and why does it feel so hard to stay consistent?

In this episode of the True North Podcast, I’m joined by Jolee Carroll, host of the She Speaks Jesus Podcast and founder of Empower Her Daily, and we’re diving into the concept of “handmade faith.”

Jolee describes handmade faith as a real, intentional relationship with God that isn’t rushed, outsourced, or built on shortcuts—but something you personally cultivate over time.

After stepping away from social media and the constant noise, she realized something I think we all need to hear: faith isn’t formed in distraction—it’s built in the quiet, consistent moments where we choose to show up.

In this conversation, we talk about:

Why faith takes time, effort, and consistency to grow
How distraction and “doom scrolling” can quietly weaken your walk with God
What it looks like to move from passive belief to intentional faith
The difference between consuming content about God and actually walking with Him
Why we can’t rely on someone else’s faith—and how we're called to build our own
What it means to have a solid foundation when life gets hard

If you’ve ever felt like you’re just going through the motions, struggling to stay consistent, or wondering why your faith doesn’t feel as strong as you want it to—this episode is for you.
