The Deep Water Show
The Deep Water Show is a podcast for women who want to encounter God’s presence in everyday life ... especially in seasons of healing, transition, and life’s pivot points.
Hosted by longtime friends Jackie McCown and Christi Eaton, this show is a shared table where honest conversations meet deep faith. We talk about marriage, motherhood, identity, grief, friendship, and the quiet work God is doing beneath the surface — often long before anything looks “fixed” or resolved. With Scripture as our anchor and real life as our context, each episode makes space for reflection, vulnerability, and spiritual recalibration.
We’re not here with formulas or perfect answers. We’re here to slow the pace, tell the truth, and notice how God meets us in the ordinary moments ... the kitchen sink, the carpool line, the hard conversations, the long middle seasons. Some episodes feature thoughtful guests who have navigated their own deep waters; others are simply Jackie and Christi pulling up chairs and talking honestly about what faith looks like when life doesn’t fit tidy categories.
The Deep Water Show is for women who are tired of striving, curious about what it means to live from presence rather than performance, and hungry for a faith that feels lived-in and real. If you’re navigating change, healing, or simply longing to feel less alone in your walk with God.
Join us. We've saved you a seat.

Choosing a Word, Not a Measuring Stick

What if your word for the year wasn’t another goal to achieve, but a gentle rudder to guide you?
In this episode of The Deep Water Show, Jackie and Christi settle in (one by a fireplace, one in “Florida cold”) and talk about the spiritual practice of choosing a word — or posture — for the year ahead. Together, they explore threshold moments, holy pauses, and what it means to live from abiding rather than striving.
Jackie shares how the unexpected word Hezekiah led her into a year of cleaning and rebuilding ... of tending the temple rather than rushing ahead. Christi reflects on her phrase, Threshold Moments, and the courage it takes to walk through doors God opens … and sometimes to stand still in confidence when others don’t understand your pace.
This conversation is for anyone who:
- Feels pressure to “get it right” spiritually
- Wonders if God is quiet (or simply whispering)
- Is learning, later in life, that they have permission to take up space
- Longs for guidance without performance or comparison
✨ Your word is not a measuring stick.
✨ Your stillness is not failure.
✨ God has not forgotten you. Even in the silence.
Pull up a chair. Take a breath. And let this be a conversation that meets you right where you are.
