Learning to Love Well

What do you do when you love Jesus, know the truth, and have experienced healing, but realize there are still places in your heart that hurt?

In this solo episode of Learning to Love Well, Brittany shares honestly about where she’s been lately: recognizing that some pain from past seasons has begun spilling into the season she’s in now.

Sometimes we can know all the “right” things to do. We can love Jesus, know Scripture, understand the importance of guarding our hearts, and still find ourselves carrying hurt, anger, disappointment, or pain that needs to be tended to.

We live in a broken world, and following Jesus doesn’t mean we’ll never get hurt again. Healing isn’t always a one-time moment. Sometimes Jesus invites us to surrender again… to stop avoiding what hurts, walk through the pain with Him, and lay down what we were never meant to carry into the next season.

Inspired by watching longtime friends courageously walk through their own healing, Brittany shares why facing the hard places is worth it… not only for the freedom on the other side, but for who we become in the process.

If you’ve been wondering why life still feels hard, recognizing old pain showing up in new places, or sensing that Jesus may be inviting you into a deeper place of healing and surrender, this conversation is for you.

You don’t have to be afraid of what’s underneath the pain. Jesus will meet you there. And there is freedom on the other side.

We were made for real connection.

In this episode of Learning to Love Well, we’re talking about friendship… what it looks like to build deep, healthy relationships and why so many of us still feel disconnected, even when we’re surrounded by people.

Because friendship doesn’t just happen, it’s something we learn, grow in, and choose to build.

This conversation is about what it actually looks like to create real connection in your life, not just surface-level relationships, but friendships that are honest, safe, and lasting.

We talk about:

What Scripture shows us about real friendship and community

Why we’re wired for connection

How to recognize safe, trustworthy friendships

What it looks like to be a consistent and intentional friend

Why communication, honesty, and empathy matter

How vulnerability leads to real closeness

If you’ve been feeling lonely, disconnected, or unsure how to build meaningful friendships, this episode will feel grounding, honest, and practical.

You don’t have to wait for community to find you.

You can begin building it.

The Three Percent Podcast

What does it actually look like to hear the Holy Spirit when you have no idea what to do?

In this conversation, Rei shares a powerful story from a trip to India with his dad. In the middle of a frightening medical situation at the airport, Rei began praying and asking God for help.

Then, just minutes before boarding their flight, he saw something that changed their plans completely.

But what happened next became about much more than a medical emergency. It revealed just how much healing and restoration God had already done in Rei’s relationship with his dad.

We talk about hearing God, following the Holy Spirit, healing from deep wounds, and what restoration can look like when God transforms a heart.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God still speaks or whether broken relationships can really be restored, this conversation is for you.

What happens when you’ve prayed for marriage, stayed open, experienced disappointment, and you’re just… tired of waiting?

In this conversation, my friend Kaylani and I talk honestly about singleness, dating, rejection, disappointment, and the very real desire to be chosen.

For years, marriage felt connected to worth for Kaylani. Like being chosen by someone would finally remove the feeling of rejection. But God began showing her something different: her life wasn’t waiting to begin.

We talk about learning to live fully now, while still honoring the very real desire for marriage. Because you don’t have to pretend you don’t want a spouse in order to be grateful for the life God has given you today.

Kaylani shares about dating disappointments, opening her heart again, letting God into the places that hurt, and the Target parking lot moment that completely shifted the way she saw her singleness.

We also talk about the realization:

“I’m not living my single life. I’m living my life.”

And maybe one of my favorite shifts of the whole conversation: you’re not simply waiting around hoping someone chooses you. You get to choose, too.

If you’ve been asking God, When is it going to be my turn? Have You forgotten me? Is something wrong with me? I hope this conversation reminds you that your relationship status is not evidence of your worth, and this season is not a pause before your real life begins.

You can desire marriage deeply and still live a full, meaningful, surrendered life with God right now.

💛 If this episode encouraged you, send it to someone who might need this reminder.

What does it actually look like to live your everyday life with God?

Not just on Sundays or in big spiritual moments, but in the middle of kids, work, schedules, responsibilities, distractions, and all the ordinary parts of life.

In this episode of Learning to Love Well, we talk about simple, realistic ways to build a life with God. Not through perfect routines or more pressure, but by learning to invite Him into the life you are already living.

We talk about staying connected to God throughout the day, creating rhythms that keep you grounded, finding Him in motherhood and everyday responsibilities, growing in consistency without striving, and building real intimacy with Him over time.

This conversation is for anyone who wants a closer walk with God but is not always sure what that looks like in real life.

Faith was never meant to be separate from your everyday life. It was meant to shape it.

Season 4 of the Learning to Love Well Podcast is here, and it’s time to be equipped.

This season, we felt like the Lord was inviting us into more than deeper conversations. We believe He is preparing and equipping His people for what He is doing.

We’re opening the table for honest, powerful conversations about what it actually looks like to walk with God in real life. Not just in church or in the highlight moments, but in relationships, singleness, marriage, healing, freedom, the quiet seasons, the questions, and the everyday.

This season, you’ll hear stories of real transformation, moments where people encountered God in unexpected ways, and conversations that are both deeply personal and practical.

Some episodes will give you tools you can use right away. Some may stretch you. Some may challenge the way you have understood God. But our heart behind all of it is simple: we don’t want you to just listen. We want you to be equipped, strengthened in your faith, and drawn into deeper connection with God, your people, and the world around you.

Subscribe and join us for Season 4 of the Learning to Love Well Podcast. We are so glad you’re here.

Before Season 4 begins, I wanted to pop on with a quick update.

If you haven’t watched all of Season 3 yet, now is the perfect time to catch up. We had so many powerful conversations about revival, healing, deliverance, God’s faithfulness, and what He is still doing in people’s lives today.

We’re taking a short break behind the scenes as we finish filming and preparing Season 4, but we’ll be back soon.

In the meantime, would you pray with us? Pray that the episodes already released, as well as the ones still to come, would reach the people who need them most. Pray that people wouldn’t simply consume the content, but that the Holy Spirit would move powerfully as they listen. That seeds would be planted, watered, and grown, and that real transformation would take place.

And I would love to hear from you. Commenting, liking, sharing an episode with a friend, subscribing, or leaving a rating or review helps these conversations reach more people who may need them.

Thank you for being part of this community. We love you, we’re praying for you, and we cannot wait to share Season 4 with you.

Have you ever wanted to spend time in God’s presence but felt distracted, unworthy, anxious, or unsure of how to begin?

God does not ask us to clean ourselves up before coming to Him. He invites us to come just as we are... with humility, honesty, and confidence in His love.

In this episode, I share how I prepare my heart to meet with God. This is not a formula or a guarantee that every encounter with Him will feel the same. It is simply a practical way I quiet my heart, surrender what I am carrying, and turn my attention toward Him.

We’ll talk about:

Coming to God humbly and without hesitation

Rejecting lies of shame and unworthiness

Remembering that Jesus has made a way for us to draw near

Casting our cares on God because He cares for us

Entering His presence with thanksgiving and praise

Trusting that God welcomes us exactly as we are

You do not have to become worthy enough to meet with God. You can come honestly, surrender what is weighing on you, and receive His love.

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.” — Psalm 100:4 NKJV

“Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7 NKJV

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace.” — Hebrews 4:16 NKJV
