Codependency often starts with good intentions—close friendships, deep trust, and a desire to support one another. But when we begin looking to another person for our identity, security, or fulfillment, relationships can become unhealthy. In this episode, Brody and JB unpack what codependency looks like in friendships, mentoring relationships, and family dynamics, discuss common warning signs, and share practical, biblical steps for building healthy boundaries and Christ-centered relationships.

In this episode, Brody and JB sit down with Carter Warn, a new voice on NSR but an integral member of the Snowbird family.

Carter shares how God led him from media ministry to discipling students at Snowbird, using unexpected opportunities, uncertainty, and anxiety to shape his path along the way.

Together, they discuss analysis paralysis, honoring commitments, the influence of social media, and what it looks like to trust God's direction one step at a time. Through personal stories, practical wisdom, and reflections on Psalm 1, Carter encourages listeners to stay rooted in Scripture and keep moving forward in faith.

Daniel 3 isn’t just a familiar story, it’s about pressure to conform and the cost of staying faithful. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego face a culture that demands compromise, and their response is simple: God can deliver, but even if He doesn’t, they won’t bow.

Brody and JB talk about what that kind of faith looks like today, how cultural pressure shows up, and why God’s presence matters more than an easy way out.
