Join us as we sit down with pastor and ministry leader Kristy Keitt. Kristy shares with DeShawne how she kept moving through fear, job loss, a high-risk pregnancy, and six months in the NICU with her son. Together, they talk about finding courage before you feel ready, the power of community, and trusting God through uncertainty.

What if the reason you haven't taken the next step isn't because you need more confidence?

Maybe you need to feel safe enough to begin.

In this episode of Finding Your Brave, I’m getting really honest about how growing up with neglect and abuse shaped the way I approach uncertainty, control, and risk. For years, I thought I needed more preparation, more confidence, and more certainty. But through marriage counseling, I began to understand that what I was really looking for was security.

We’ll talk about the difference between preparation and procrastination, why courage often comes before confidence, and what Philippians 1:6 reminds us: He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.

You don't have to know how the whole story ends. You don't have to feel ready.

You just have to be willing to take the next faithful step.

What does it really mean to Find Your Brave? In this first episode, DeShawne shares the personal journey that led her to understand bravery in a completely different way. From overcoming trauma and leaving unhealthy relationships to embracing new opportunities and trusting God through uncertain seasons, she reflects on the moments that required her to take a step before she felt ready.

DeShawne talks about the parable of the talents, the danger of comparison, and what happens when we bury the gifts God has given us because we're afraid. Most importantly, she reminds us that bravery isn't about having no fear; it’s about choosing to move forward even when fear is present.

You don't need complete clarity. You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need enough faith and courage to take your next faithful step.

This is your invitation to find your brave... and be brave enough to begin.
