In Episode 20 of Heart on the Altar, Brittani continues walking through Colossians and lands on a question we don’t like to sit with for too long:

Do we really believe God is that powerful?

This episode unpacks Colossians 1:9–13 and challenges the way we lean on God—not just in our 911 moments, but in everyday weakness, disappointment, addiction, heartbreak, and waiting. Brittani shares vulnerably about surrender, endurance, patience, and what it looks like to stop relying on self-strength and start trusting God’s glorious power.

If you’ve been tired, discouraged, trying to hold it all together, or wondering if God can actually change this situation—this episode is for you.

This is a reminder that strength doesn’t come from trying harder.

It comes from leaning deeper into Jesus.

This week, Brittani kicks off the next part of Colossians by sitting in Colossians 1:3–8—and what looks like “simple” verses turns into a whole foundation: faith in Jesus, hope in Jesus, and love for God's people.

From prison, Paul is overflowing with gratitude and reminding the church that the gospel isn’t Jesus + something else… It’s Jesus alone—and when the gospel takes root, it bears fruit.

If you’ve been feeling distracted, tired, or tempted to build your life on anything other than Christ, this episode is a reset. Read along this week, ask God to “show me Yourself,” and watch what He grows.

In this episode of Heart on the Altar, Brittani kicks off a new series through the book of Colossians by slowing things down and getting real about what’s been quietly stealing our peace. From over-scrolling and overworking to chasing rest in all the wrong places, she shares how easy it is to look for satisfaction outside of Jesus, even while following Him.

Walking through Colossians 1:1–2, Brittani unpacks why this book matters and why the message is still so relevant today: Jesus isn’t meant to be an add-on. He is enough. Period.

This episode is an invitation to pause, examine what’s filling your time and attention, and ask an honest question: Is Jesus truly the center, or just part of the mix?

This episode isn’t about numbers or platforms.
It’s about surrender.

In a season that’s felt busy, heavy, and humbling, Brittani reflects on what it really means to depend on God—not just when life is calm, but when it’s full. As a wife, mom, and follower of Jesus, she wrestles with a question many of us avoid:

Is Jesus actually enough—or just part of our life?

Christmas is busy.

Parties, kids’ events, family drama, heavy stories, hard diagnoses… and somewhere in the middle of it, we’re supposed to “feel merry.”

This week on Heart on the Altar, we’re talking about what happens when the storms hit, and your whole life feels like it’s shaking.

Jesus says there are two builders:
One builds on rock
One builds on sand

Same storm. Different outcome.

I’m asking the hard question:

Does my life actually show that I believe He is my Mighty God, my Wonderful Counselor, my Eternal Father, and my Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6)?

If you’re tired, overwhelmed, or trying to hold it all together for everyone else, this episode is for you.

Episode 14: Built on the Rock | Matthew 7:24–27

Listen while you drive, fold laundry, clean the house, or wrap gifts, and ask God to be your firm foundation again.

In this episode of Heart on the Altar, Brittani kicks off the Christmas season by going back to the real reason we celebrate: Jesus.

Instead of getting swept up in consumerism, comparison, and the pressure to “make Christmas magical,” she walks through Isaiah 9:6–7 and unpacks who Jesus really is:

• Wonderful Counselor – the One who invites us to be honest, raw, and real
• Mighty God – strong, powerful, and able to carry what we can’t
• Eternal Father – steady, present, and nothing like our imperfect earthly fathers
• Prince of Peace – the only One who can quiet the chaos inside us

Brittani also shares about a Christmas when her family was broke-broke—wrapping bags of Hot Cheetos and dollar snacks for the kids—and how God used that season to expose her heart, her pride, and her idea of “enough.”

If you’ve ever:

• Felt pressure to overspend or overdo Christmas
• Felt lonely, unseen, or disappointed during the holidays
• Wondered why the gifts, lights, and plans still don’t satisfy

…this episode is for you. 💛

Scripture: Isaiah 9:6–7 CSB

Listen in and be reminded: No tree, no gift, and no “perfect Christmas” can satisfy your heart more than Jesus Himself.
