God Really Likes You: Jazmine Davis on Shame, Grace and Letting Go of Performance
Episode Overview
- God’s love is not earned by performance, but received through the finished work of Jesus.
- Sanctification is a lifelong process; falling does not cancel your identity in Christ.
- Shame, guilt and negative labels can be challenged using Scripture spoken aloud over your life.
- Therapy and practical exercises can help release stored trauma and support spiritual healing.
- Regular Sabbath rest helps break a saviour complex and reminds you that God is the true source of results.
“If there is one thing you should know about your Father in heaven, he absolutely delights in you. And he likes you.”
What makes a recovery story truly inspiring? For many, it’s that moment when shame loses its grip and grace finally sinks in. This conversation between host Gina Fox and guest Jazmine Davis leans straight into that turning point. Jazmine, an evangelist and founder of SWAT HQ Ministries, shares how God met her in a New York nightclub, drunk and broken, in front of graffiti that read, “Jesus loves you.” That simple message shattered years of striving, performance, and compromise.
She talks about walking away from a lucrative ghostwriting career in witchcraft and erotica, ending a relationship with an atheist boyfriend, and beginning a life built on fasting, prayer, and honest dependence on God. The heart of the chat centres on identity and grace. Jazmine explains how SWAT HQ helps people “pull out of condemnation, shame, and guilt” so they can form a secure attachment to God rather than living in anxiety and fear.
She unpacks key verses like Hebrews 10:14 and Joshua 1:8 to show why “sanctification is a journey” and why many people physically flinch when asked to say, “I have been perfected forever.” Gina and Jazmine also talk candidly about therapy, trauma, and how the body holds on to pain. From rock-throwing exercises based on “casting your cares” to burning old photos, they share practical ways to release shame and unhelpful labels.
Jazmine stresses the importance of Sabbath rest to avoid a saviour complex, reminding anyone in helping roles that “my job is to plant a seed; the Holy Spirit’s job is to convict the heart.” If you’ve ever felt you had to earn God’s approval, or that you’ve gone too far to come back, this heartfelt conversation might gently ask you to reconsider. What if God really does like you, just as you are today?
