Built By Him

Trips start next week—are you ready? In this episode, CJ and Addie are joined by guest Ellie to talk about how to get prepped emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually for your HXP trip. From packing enough socks to trying new foods to opening your heart to the Spirit, they’re covering all the real ways to get ready for the experience of a lifetime.

It’s not every day you get to hear from a Trip Leader, her past Builder, and her future Builder all in one episode. Anna, Mari, and CJ talk about the real connection that happens on HXP trips when we put aside judgment and lean into love. It’s a reminder that the people we’re with—on every trip—are placed there with purpose.

In this episode, we’re talking all about Divine Design—aka how God didn’t just randomly put this together. He is super intentional. Ella joins us to break it down: what it looks like to live with trust and how to connect the dots of the past. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t measure up or wondered why you’re here—this convo is for you. Spoiler: You were built by Him, and He doesn’t make mistakes.

The adversary is sneaky, but we don’t have to fall for it. In this powerful episode, Addie, Blakely, and special guest Zack dive into the confusing, inconsistent messages Satan throws at us—and how those tactics are no match for the clarity God provides. Whether it’s making you question your worth or distracting you from your purpose, Satan’s strategies are always shifting—but God’s truth stays the same.

In this episode of Built By Him, we reflect on the talks that hit home during the most recent General Conference and share our personal takeaways. We dive into how these powerful messages are shaping our lives right now, and we explore the common themes that stood out to us.

It’s a heartfelt conversation centered on Jesus Christ, His love, and the power of His rising again.
