We are officially in the deep end. This month Brooke is spending time in the book of Joshua. Join her as she sets the scene, dives into the story of Rahab, and discovers that scripture is so much richer and deeper than the surface version you've always been told. Welcome to the deep end.

We know the shallow end is crowded or too small. But leaving it is another thing entirely. Today I'm sharing four things I'm leaving behind and why I think naming them out loud is the first step toward something more. This episode is for the woman who's been faithful for years and still feels like something's missing.

What if feeling stuck in your faith is actually a sign you’re growing?

What even is spiritual maturity? Is it knowing more, doing more… or becoming more?

In this quick, honest conversation, Brooke shares how she realized she was outgrowing the shallow end of her faith and the subtle shifts that pointed her toward something deeper.

If surface-level faith isn’t cutting it anymore, this episode will help you understand why and what to do next. Listen in!

I woke up thinking about shallow faith and what it means when God starts calling us deeper. From old songs to familiar Scriptures, everything keeps pointing back to water, trust, and surrender. We weren’t meant to stay in the shallow end too long.

If the door is already open… why do we still stand outside?
Last week, we talked about the access we have to the Father through Jesus. The veil is torn, and we’re invited in. So in this episode, we’re taking a step back to remember how we got here. Together, we’ll walk through the five major covenants from Genesis to Jesus and trace the thread of God’s faithfulness. Think of it like a pinky promise, but so much deeper.

God’s promises are sure. He means what He says, and He always follows through. As you listen, my prayer is that your trust in Him grows. We’re not on the outside anymore. We can stop striving. We can rest in what Jesus has finished, and step fully into the life God has already opened up.

You’re invited. Let’s step in together.

⭐ Abrahamic Covenant (promise of people, land, and blessing)Genesis 12:1–3; 15, 17

📜 Mosaic Covenant (the Law and God’s holy standard)Exodus 19–20, 24Deuteronomy 5

👑 Davidic Covenant (promise of an eternal King)2 Samuel 7:8–16Psalm 89

✝️ New Covenant (fulfilled in Jesus)Jeremiah 31:31–34Luke 22:19–20Hebrews 8

For every one of God’s promises is “Yes” in him. Therefore, through him we also say “Amen” to the glory of God.

Let’s be real. Even when life feels pretty good, there’s still that pressure to do more or be more. What if the freedom we’re searching for starts by recognizing what we already have in Christ? In this episode, we’re asking: What do we truly have access to because of Jesus? Let’s stop striving and start living from the fullness He’s already given. The grass isn’t greener somewhere else. In Him, it’s already greener right here.

In this episode, we talk about the tension between striving for the next milestone and being faithful with what’s right in front of us.

The Bible is God-breathed, alive, and still shaping us today. In this episode, we reflect on how Scripture forms our hearts, trains our minds, and equips us for the life God has called us to. Let’s take a moment to be formed by the Word.

I’ve known the Bible is living and active, but there’s more. In Hebrews 4:12, we actually find five powerful descriptions. Listen in to see what happens when you let God’s Word really go to work in your life.

LISTENERS WILL REMEMBER:

+ The Bible is described as living, active, sharp, piercing, and discerning.

+ God's Word brings transformation, not condemnation or shame.

+ Even uncomfortable truths in Scripture are meant for healing and growth.
