You’re Not Behind: Face Your Front & Run Your Race
About this podcast
Welcome to Salt n’ Seasons, where faith meets real life in every season!
This is a space for real people navigating real life with Jesus. No pretending. No having it all figured out. Just honest, Spirit-led conversations about faith, identity, purpose, relationships, obedience, waiting seasons, becoming, and everything God teaches us along the way.
I’m Shimona Kizito, and so much of what I share here comes from my own journey with Jesus. The lessons, the stretching, the mistakes, the revelations, and the moments where God has completely changed my perspective.
Some conversations will encourage you. Some will challenge you. Some might step on your toes a little. But my prayer is that every episode helps you know Jesus more deeply, navigate your season with Him, and ultimately points you back to Him.
So pull up a seat, Salt Shaker. Whatever season you’re in, there’s room for you here.
🎙️ New episodes drop every other Wednesday!
