Still Being Shaped

My word for the year was "Growth," but asking for it was like asking for patience, only to get stuck in traffic. In this raw recap, I skip the highlight reel to talk about the actual climb.

I open up about the tension between loyalty and commitment, the reality of navigating a new marriage, and the exhaustion of performing. Inspired by the "Midwit Meme" and the concept of "Unteachable Lessons," I share a hard truth: I have "smarted" myself into being dumb. I realized I was overcomplicating my happiness just to look impressive, and now I’m ready to find freedom in simplicity.

We treat Christmas like a performance, but the first Nativity was the definition of unpolished.

In this solo episode, Gabby shares the raw reality of the birth of Jesus. She breaks down Old Testament prophecies that pointed to a humble arrival and explains why God chose a stinky stable instead of a palace. She also explores the difference between fleeting happiness and true Joy. This conversation is a reminder that emotions are real but not always true.

If you are feeling the pressure of the holidays, listen in to find Jesus in the mess.

Andrew remembers exactly what it felt like to be on the receiving end of a Toys for Tots donation. In this episode, Andrew Brockenbush shares his full-circle story, from being the child who received a gift to becoming a leader on a mission to give back. We talk about the lasting impact of generosity, how a single toy molded his perspective, and the heart behind launching our own Made of Clay Toy Drive this Christmas.

Are you willing to stay on the wheel until the work is done?

On Episode .003, special guest Joshua Parrish (Joshua 2.0) joins us to discuss the intersection of faith, hip hop, and divine refinement. We explore the metaphor of God as the Perfect Potter, discussing how the pressure of His hands is actually proof of His precision.

Join us for a conversation on trust, transformation, and the art of being reshaped.

I used to sit in church hearing crazy testimonies about people talking to God and think, "Do I have the wrong number?" My line seemed dead. It took a season of playing in the mud like the lost son to finally understand that hearing God isn't a magic trick. It's a relationship.

In this episode, we break down how to actually tune in. The secret isn't a magic formula; it's familiarity. You can't recognize a voice you've never listened to. I share how I learned to get "in the Word". Not just reading to check a box, but soaking in it like a meal I crave. We discuss surrendering to the nudges, the power of meditating on Scripture (John 8:31), and why the only way to hear God's call is to get close enough to know His voice.

In this debut episode, Gabby breaks down the heart behind Made of Clay Clothing and why we are donating 100% of our launch profits to buy Christmas gifts for local children. We dive into the meaning of "Treasure in Clay Jars" (2 Cor 4:7), the earthy aesthetic behind the designs, and the massive mission for our very first drop.

In this episode:

• The Rule: Why we only make clothes we’d actually wear.

• The Launch: How 100% of profits from Drop .001 are buying Christmas gifts for local families.

• The Future: A sneak peek at our heart for Guatemala and what’s coming next.
