What happens when a one-week mission trip turns into a calling?

This week, Briley sits down with Makenzie Lanham to talk about her summer serving in Honduras with Hope Through Him—and why she’s now preparing to go back for an entire year.

Makenzie shares the funny moments, the hard days, the relationships that changed her, and the lessons God taught her about identity, purpose, obedience, and living on mission wherever you are.

From watching years of planted seeds finally lead to salvation, to discovering that missions isn’t just something you do overseas, this conversation is a reminder that God can use ordinary faithfulness to make an eternal impact.

And sometimes, following God means trusting His plan even when you never expected it to become yours.

🎧 Join us for Episode 89: Makenzie Lanham—a conversation about purpose, missions, relationships, and saying yes to wherever God leads next.

Gentleness is not weakness.

It is strength under control.

In this week’s Fruit of the Spirit episode, we’re talking about what biblical gentleness really looks like and why Jesus is the perfect example of power fully surrendered to the Father.

We unpack the connection between gentleness and humility, the difference between being honest and being harsh, and why truth should always be carried with love.

We also get honest about the ways pride, insecurity, people-pleasing, and the need to be right can keep us from reflecting the character of Christ.

Because gentleness isn’t just about what you say.

It’s about how you say it.

🎧 Join us for Fruit of the Spirit: Gentleness as we learn how to carry truth with humility, strength with restraint, and love into every conversation.

What happens when your life looks good on the outside—but something still feels missing?

This week, Briley sits down with longtime friend Aubree Jones for an incredibly honest conversation about identity, achievement, surrender, and the journey that ultimately led Aubree to give her life to Jesus.

For years, Aubree found herself chasing the next accomplishment—the grades, leadership positions, recognition, activities, and the picture of the “perfect” life. But every time one goal was reached, another had to take its place. Eventually, she was forced to ask a much bigger question:

If I accomplish everything I want… who am I when it's all over?

In this episode, Aubree shares how simply showing up to church began changing her life, how godly relationships helped point her toward Scripture, and why she spent years feeling like she wasn't “Christian enough” to completely surrender. She also tells the incredible story of finally realizing that God had already been calling her to obedience—and she was the one holding back.

Together, Briley and Aubree talk about:

• Searching for identity in achievement and validation
• Walking into church when you don't know all the answers
• Why you don't have to “clean yourself up” before coming to Jesus
• The fear of surrendering your entire life to Christ
• Aubree's decision to follow Jesus and be baptized
• Why sin always promises more than it can deliver
• Finding joy through pursuit—not perfection

Aubree puts it simply:

You can chase the perfect life and still be empty without Jesus.

No amount of popularity, success, recognition, relationships, or achievement can satisfy what only Christ was designed to fill.

If you've ever felt like you're not good enough for God, you're waiting until you're “ready,” or you're exhausted from trying to build a life that finally feels like enough, this conversation is for you.

You don't have to have everything figured out.

You just have to take the next step toward Jesus.

🎧 Join us for Episode 87: Aubree Jones—a story of surrender, obedience, and discovering that nothing this world offers can compare to a life found in Christ.

What does it mean to be faithful when life feels uncertain?

Faithfulness isn't just about staying committed when things are easy—it's choosing to trust God when nothing makes sense, continuing to follow Him when emotions fluctuate, and remembering that His character never changes.

In this week's Fruit of the Spirit series, we're diving into one of the most encouraging truths in Scripture: God's faithfulness never depends on ours. Even when we stumble, doubt, get distracted, or fall short, He remains constant, steady, and true.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What biblical faithfulness really means
• Why God's faithfulness never changes—even when ours does
• How prayer builds consistency in our walk with Christ
• The importance of faithfully using the gifts God has given you
• Why your testimony is one of the most powerful ways to share the gospel

We also challenge ourselves—and you—to stop treating faithfulness as something reserved for the big moments. True faithfulness is built in the ordinary: showing up, praying, opening God's Word, serving others, and telling people what He's doing in your life.

Because faithfulness isn't about perfection.

It's about continually returning to the One who has never stopped being faithful to you.

🎧 Join us for Episode 86: Fruit of the Spirit – Faithfulness and discover how remembering God's faithfulness can transform the way you trust Him, serve others, and live every single day. 💛

Some people leave behind memories.

Others leave behind a legacy.

This week is one of the most personal episodes we've ever recorded.

After receiving a binder filled with handwritten letters from her late grandfather—a pastor, mentor, and faithful follower of Jesus—Briley opens her heart and shares the words that have impacted her family in ways they never expected. Every page points to one thing: a life completely devoted to Christ.

Together, we reflect on the power of intentional words, the beauty of a Christ-centered legacy, and the reality that the greatest inheritance we can leave isn't money, success, or achievements—it's faith that continues to bear fruit long after we're gone.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The priceless gift of handwritten letters that span a lifetime
• What it means to leave a legacy that points people to Jesus
• Trusting God through grief, uncertainty, and life's hardest moments
• The power of Scripture spoken over the next generation
• Why small, intentional investments today can shape lives for eternity

This conversation is filled with tears, laughter, treasured memories, and one overwhelming truth:

A life lived for Jesus never stops making an impact.

Whether you're building your own legacy, grieving someone you deeply love, or wondering if the small things you do today really matter, we hope this episode reminds you that faithfulness echoes far beyond your lifetime.

So write the letter. Speak the encouragement. Invest in the next generation. Love people deeply.

Because the greatest legacy you'll ever leave is one that leads someone closer to Jesus.

🎧 Join us for Episode 85: Legacy of Love. We pray it encourages you to live the kind of life that still points people to Christ long after you're gone. 💛

This week, we're pressing pause on our Fruit of the Spirit series to share one of the most life-changing experiences we've ever had.

Briley is taking us behind the scenes of her mission trip to Honduras—sharing the moments that brought laughter, the moments that brought tears, and the moments that completely changed the way she sees God, the Church, and the people around her.

From worshiping in two languages, to praying with families, serving alongside missionaries, celebrating new believers, and witnessing incredible joy in the middle of difficult circumstances, this episode is a reminder that God is moving all over the world—and He wants to move in our hearts, too.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What it's really like serving on an international mission trip
• The beauty of worship across different languages and cultures
• Lessons learned from the people of Honduras
• Powerful moments that revealed God's faithfulness
• Why the mission doesn't end when the trip is over

More than anything, this conversation isn't about a place—it's about a Person.

It's about discovering that no matter where you are in the world, the gospel is the same, the Church is one family, and Jesus is worthy of every language, every nation, and every life.

We hope these stories encourage you to look for ways to live on mission right where you are—because you don't have to travel across the world to make an eternal impact.

🎧 Join us for Episode 84: Briley in Honduras and come experience the joy, the lessons, and the unforgettable moments that God used to leave a lasting mark on one incredible week.

What does it actually mean to be good?

Is goodness just being a nice person… or is it something much deeper?

In this week's episode of our Fruit of the Spirit series, we're exploring how God's goodness transforms our hearts and overflows into the way we live. We unpack the difference between simply doing good things and living a life that reflects the character of a good God.

Together, we talk about:

• Why every good thing in our lives begins with God
• How recognizing His goodness changes our perspective
• The connection between God's goodness and our good works
• Why serving others flows from grace—not from earning God's love
• And how choosing goodness can overcome the evil we encounter every day

We also challenge ourselves—and you—to start looking for God's goodness in the ordinary moments. Sometimes it's as simple as lifting your eyes, noticing His creation, remembering His faithfulness, and allowing gratitude to shape your heart.

Because when you truly recognize how good God has been to you, you can't help but reflect that goodness to the people around you.

🎧 Join us for Episode 83: Fruit of the Spirit – Goodness and discover how seeing God's goodness can completely change the way you live, love, and serve. 💛

Kindness is so much more than random good deeds.

Our culture says kindness is being nice, smiling at strangers, or paying for someone's coffee. While those things are great, biblical kindness goes much deeper. It begins with a heart that has been transformed by the kindness of God.

In this week's episode, we're exploring how true kindness is rooted in forgiveness, fueled by compassion, and demonstrated through intentional love. We unpack what it means to forgive quickly, honor others even when they don't deserve it, and reflect the same grace that Christ first showed us.

Together, we talk about:

• Why kindness begins with a transformed heart
• How forgiveness is one of the greatest expressions of biblical kindness
• The difference between random kindness and intentional kindness
• Why loyalty, compassion, and grace build stronger relationships
• And how choosing kindness—even when it's inconvenient—looks more like Jesus.

This week's challenge is simple, but it could completely change one of your relationships: forgive faster than the other person expects. Lay down your pride, pursue reconciliation, and intentionally show someone the same kindness that Christ has shown you.

Because the most powerful acts of kindness aren't random—they're rooted in the gospel.

🎧 Join us for Episode 82: Fruit of the Spirit – Kindness and discover how one transformed heart can change every relationship around it.

Patience is one of those things we all say we want... until we're actually forced to practice it.

In this episode of our Fruit of the Spirit series, we're diving into the struggle, the beauty, and the purpose of patience. From waiting on God's timing to trusting Him with the things we desperately want right now, we're talking about what it means to stay faithful in the waiting season.

We unpack:

• Why patience is more than just waiting around
• How God's timing is always better than our own
• What farmers can teach us about faith and endurance
• Why patience isn't laziness—it's active trust
• How to keep growing while you're waiting for God's promises to unfold

Whether you're waiting on a relationship, a life decision, an answered prayer, or simply trying to trust God with your future, this conversation is a reminder that the waiting season is never wasted.

Because sometimes the greatest fruit isn't found at the finish line—it's grown while you're patiently walking toward it.

So if you're tired of waiting, frustrated by delays, or wondering if God is still working, this episode is for you. 💛

🎧 Tune in to Episode 81: Fruit of the Spirit — Patience and discover why God's best work often happens while we're learning to wait.

This episode of the Fruit of the Spirit series dives into something every person is searching for but few know where to find: peace. 💛

In a world filled with anxiety, stress, uncertainty, overthinking, and constant noise, where does real peace actually come from?

Briley and Britton unpack powerful passages like Philippians 4 and John 16, exploring the difference between temporary comfort and the peace of God that “surpasses all understanding.” They share personal stories about anxiety, big emotions, difficult decisions, and learning to trust God when life feels overwhelming. Most importantly, they discuss how peace isn’t the absence of problems—it’s the presence of God in the middle of them.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why peace is more than a feeling
• How Jesus remained calm in the middle of storms
• What to do when your thoughts spiral out of control
• Why reading Scripture and praying out loud can be so powerful
• How God's peace protects both your emotions and your mind
