In this heart-to-heart episode of Echos of Impact, Briana and Cherise sit down for one of their monthly conversations — the kind where we open our Bibles, open our real lives, and invite you into what God has been speaking in this season.

This week's episode unfolds around two powerful images: ✨ a surprising word from God — "Get your house in order" — and ✨ a vivid picture of sitting at a tiny children's table as Jesus invites Briana to "play chess" with Him, a game she doesn't know how to play.

Through these moments, God begins revealing deeper truths about surrender, trust, spiritual realignment, and what it truly means to let Him lead… one move at a time.

Together, we explore the many layers of "house" — our physical homes, our families, our bodies, our inner life, and our spiritual foundations — and how God lovingly restores, rebuilds, and reorders each one.

What We Cover:

• The Chess Word Picture: Briana's vision of Jesus inviting her into a game she doesn't know how to play — and what it reveals about patience, foresight, strategy, and our part in the process.

• A Direct Word From God: The moment Briana heard "Get your house in order" and how it began unfolding in ways she didn't expect.

• God's Protection & Prompting: A startling middle-of-the-night nudge from the Holy Spirit that led Briana to check her kids' devices — and why obedience matters.

• Cherise's Word From Haggai 2: How God is speaking restoration, rebuilding, and generational healing, even when promises unfold slowly and require deep trust.

• Understanding the Different "Houses" in Scripture: Physical home, family lineage, inner life, and spiritual dwelling — and how God works in each one.

• Presence Over Planning: Why God invited Cherise into a season of being present instead of trying to plan five or ten years ahead.

• Realignment in Relationships: How surrender can shake things up — even in healthy relationships — and why God sometimes rearranges what feels secure.

• How to Discern God's Voice: Peace vs. anxiety, the 8 C's of Internal Family Systems, and what conviction truly feels like.

• Letting God Lead Step by Step: Why we don't have to know the whole strategy — we only need to look back at Jesus for the next move.

Key Quotes:

"Life is like chess. He's asking me to sit down and play a game I don't know… even if I knew the rules, I could still be wrong." — Briana "He's the perfect gift giver. He doesn't miss a detail." — Cherise "Sometimes God gives us a word that unfolds in layers — like a prism." "Whatever part of your 'house' feels broken, God promises the latter will be greater than the former."
