We're back! 

After about an 8 week break, we're back with Season 2 of the Bright with Elise Podcast! 

This episode is all about course correcting and looking inside. There were a few things that I wanted to circle back to - adjustments in both my thinking and in my words that I wanted to own, learn from, and keep growing in. Thanks for sticking with me and learning with me. It's also talking a lot about our internal world. How do we take care of these things? How do we dig inside? How do we appropriately address our internal spaces? 

Thanks for being here with me. Let's dig in together!

In today’s episode of Bright with Elise, Leiah Roberson and I cover a conversation that affects everyone - friendship. We’ve all had those friends that are difficult, and we’ve also all BEEN those difficult friends as well. While Leiah and I are new friends, we are also working this out in real time in our own new friendship. We'd love for you to listen in as we share a couple things that have been highlighted for us as we've begun to foster and protect this!

Lots to learn, but isn't that the fun part?

In this episode of the podcast, I’m diving deep into purity culture with Jami Nato. She has an amazing story full of hurt, redemption, and God’s goodness on display. We talk about all things purity culture and how we can change our perspective a bit on how to talk about the conversation of sexuality.

A quick note - we get real comfortable real fast about sex, masturbation, modesty, porn, etc. Use discretion as you listen!

We're back for part 2 of my conversation around politics with Alexandra Gaskins!

If you haven't, go listen to part 1 - we pick up right where we left off with some practical ways to engage this conversation and challenge yourself. 

Stay challenged, and stay bright!

In this episode (part 1 of 2), I have Alexandra Gaskins joining me to talk about how to engage well in the political conversation. Rather than discussing certain issues, we stay at a pretty high level talking about how Christians can approach this difficult conversation.

I’m thankful to have gotten to talk through some of these really difficult topics with her. If you find yourself reacting defensively rather than responding thoughtfully, I would challenge you to ask yourself “Why?”

Stay challenged, and stay BRIGHT!

In this inaugural episode for the “Bright with Elise” podcast, I had the one and only Jonathan Griffin on the podcast. How fun to have my best person on the first episode with me?!?! We go through five significant things/experiences that have shaped us and our relationship thus far. There is so much to learn, but we’re lucky to already have learned these few things. Hopefully many more lessons to come. Love you, J!!

Welcome to the introduction episode of the Bright With Elise Podcast! 

Listen while I share some key reasons why I've started, some key people involved in pushing me to do this, and what vision I'm casting for this podcast.
