Is avoiding conflict actually biblical?

In this conversation, Pricelis Dominguez challenges one of the most common misconceptions among Christians: keeping the peace isn't always the same as making peace.

Together, we explore what it means to communicate with both truth and grace, why every person is made in the image of God, and how our words should reflect the character of Christ—even in disagreement.

Whether you're navigating conflict in your family, church, friendships, or online, this episode will encourage you to pursue biblical peacemaking instead of simply avoiding difficult conversations.

What if the gospel changed more than where you’ll spend eternity? What if it changed how you have the ability to live right now?

In this episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra Lebbie breaks down the gospel through Colossians 2:13–15 and explores what it really means to be made alive with Christ. Jesus didn’t simply forgive your sins—His death and resurrection changed your position, gave you new life, and secured your victory in Christ.

Yet many believers know they’ve been forgiven while still living as though they are defeated.

So what actually happened when you were saved? And how should the finished work of Jesus change the way you navigate your mind, emotions, identity, hardship, and everyday Christian life?

In this episode, we’re going back to the foundation: the gospel.

In this conversation, we’ll talk about:

The gospel isn’t only good news for your eternity. It is the foundation for how you live today.

If you’ve been struggling with fear, shame, defeat, spiritual exhaustion, or simply wondering what it practically means to walk in freedom as a Christian, this episode is for you.

How does God respond when we don't get it right? And who helps us grow into spiritually mature women?

In this conversation, Brenda Palmer shares how God's pursuit of us is rooted in His patience and love—not our perfection. We talk about the freedom of knowing that God continues to draw us close, even when we stumble, and why spiritual growth was never meant to happen in isolation.

We also explore the often-overlooked gift of older, godly women. In a culture that celebrates independence, Scripture points us toward relationships where wisdom is passed from one generation to the next. If you've ever longed for guidance, encouragement, or deeper spiritual maturity, this conversation will remind you that God often shapes us through faithful women who have walked with Him before us.

This episode is an invitation to receive God's patient love, pursue biblical community, and embrace the wisdom He provides through spiritual mothers.

Welcome to Season 3 of Kept Podcast.

If you're walking through hardship, it's easy to believe your circumstances have the final word. But Colossians 2:13–15 tells a completely different story.

Because of Christ's death and resurrection, your greatest enemies—sin, shame, condemnation, and spiritual defeat—have already been conquered. The question is: What changes when you actually live from that victory?

In this episode, we're laying the foundation for the entire season as we discover what it truly means to be Made Alive in Christ and how His finished work transforms the way we think, trust, suffer, obey, and endure.

If you've ever wondered why you still struggle even though Jesus has already won, this conversation is for you.

In this finale episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra shares a powerful encouragement for anyone walking through suffering, weakness, or hardship: Jesus understands—and He draws near.

In Hebrews 4:15–16, we are reminded that Jesus is not distant from our pain. He is our faithful High Priest, One who has experienced the weight of human weakness and temptation, yet without sin. Because of this, we can come to Him with confidence, knowing that we will receive mercy and grace in our time of need.

In this episode, Tierra reminds us that we do not have to hide our struggles or clean ourselves up before coming to God. Instead, we are invited to draw near—just as we are.

In this episode we explore:

• What it means that Jesus is our faithful High Priest

Jesus is not detached from your pain—He is present in it. And because of who He is, you can come boldly to Him, trusting that He will meet you with compassion, help, and sustaining grace.

As we close out this season of Kept Podcast, may you be reminded that you are not alone, you are deeply understood, and you are fully invited into the presence of God.

In this episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra shares a powerful and often overlooked truth: God desires to be your closest friend.

Many believers approach their relationship with God from a place of striving—treating time with Him like a responsibility rather than a relationship. But what if intimacy with God was never meant to feel like work?

In this episode, we explore what it truly means to cultivate a “secret place” with God—a space where trust is built, love is experienced, and your relationship with Him becomes deeply personal and life-giving.

You’ll learn how to move from a works-based faith into a love-based relationship with God, where obedience flows from delight, not obligation.

In this episode we discuss:

• How to build a deeper relationship with God

If your relationship with God has started to feel distant, dry, or like a routine, this episode will help you rediscover the joy, closeness, and sweetness of walking with Him.

God is not looking for perfection—He is inviting you into relationship.

In this episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra sits down with Elizabeth Woodson to talk about the reality of trusting Jesus—especially when it feels risky.

Trusting God is often talked about, but rarely do we acknowledge how vulnerable it can feel to place the things that matter most to us into His hands. Whether it’s relationships, calling, or the future we envisioned, surrender requires faith that stretches beyond what we can see or control.

In this conversation, we explore what it looks like to trust Jesus when the outcome is uncertain and why developing a bigger imagination of who God is and what He can do is essential for faith.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why trusting Jesus can feel risky and uncomfortable

God is not limited by what you see or what you have. When we begin to trust Him with what feels most costly, we open ourselves up to experience His power, faithfulness, and provision in ways we never expected.

If you’ve been struggling to trust God with something important, this episode will encourage you to release control and believe Him for more.

In this episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra explores what Scripture teaches about weariness, hopelessness, and the renewing strength of God.

In Isaiah 40, the Israelites believed that God had forgotten them and was unaware of their suffering. But before addressing their circumstances, God first corrected their understanding of who He is.

Their discouragement had distorted their view of God’s character.

In this teaching, we explore how a right understanding of God restores hope and how the Lord renews the strength of those who feel exhausted, overlooked, or discouraged.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why spiritual weariness often begins with a distorted view of God

When life feels heavy and your strength is gone, God does not abandon you. Instead, He reminds you of His power, His faithfulness, and His unchanging character.

If you are walking through a season of exhaustion or discouragement, this episode will help you realign your perspective and find renewed strength in the God who never grows weary.

In this episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra sits down with Morgan Kruger to talk about what it truly means to surrender to God and allow Him to be the hero of your story.

Many believers carry shame that quietly shapes how they relate to God—causing them to strive, hide, or resist fully surrendering. But Scripture reveals a different way. In John 16:33, Jesus reminds us that although we will face trouble in this world, we can have peace because He has already overcome it.

In this conversation, we explore how releasing control, confronting shame, and trusting God’s role in our story opens the door for healing, freedom, and lasting peace.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why God—not us—is meant to be the hero of our story

Surrender is not about losing—it’s about trusting the One who has already overcome. When we let go of striving and allow God to lead, we begin to experience the peace and freedom that only He can give.

If you’ve struggled with shame, control, or trusting God in difficult seasons, this episode will encourage you to rest in His finished work and walk in the peace He promises.

In this episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra explores an important question many believers wrestle with: How do we discern whether our desires are coming from the flesh or the Holy Spirit?

In Galatians 5, Scripture clearly describes two competing influences within us—the desires of the flesh and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Understanding the difference is essential for anyone who wants to grow in spiritual maturity and walk in obedience to God.

In this teaching, Tierra discusses how believers can learn to recognize the difference between these two sources of desire and why the goal of the Christian life is not simply to follow our desires, but to submit them to God so He can shape them according to His will.

In this episode we explore:

• The two sources of desire within believers: the flesh and the Holy Spirit

God’s goal is not just behavior modification—He is transforming our hearts. As we walk by the Spirit and surrender our desires to Him, He reshapes them so that our lives begin to reflect His character and produce the fruit of the Spirit.

If you’ve ever struggled to know whether a desire is from God or your own flesh, this episode will give you biblical clarity and practical wisdom.
