I used to believe all religions led to the same place... as long as you were a good person, you were good with God. Then I actually started reading my Bible for myself, and everything changed.In this episode, I'm sharing the honest journey of why I used to avoid the word "Christian," why I questioned whether Christianity was really "the right religion," and the one truth that changed my mind completely. It's about understanding what actually makes Christianity different, and why that difference matters more than I ever realized.If you've ever wondered why Christians claim Jesus is the only way, felt disconnected from the word "Christian" because of how other believers act, or questioned whether good works are enough to get you to heaven... this episode is for you.📩 Grab my free guide, Built to Grow: Where Child Development Meets Scripture, 7 places where psychology and Scripture say the same thing, plus one small thing to try today for each one. https://brianda-nava.kit.com/9c9a7bea4b

We live in a culture that tells us to choose what feels good now but what if learning to sacrifice and delay gratification is actually one of the keys to a healthier, more disciplined, and more purposeful life?In this episode, I talk about why sacrifice isn't something we should always try to avoid. From a biblical perspective to what psychology teaches us about self-control and delayed gratification, there is real value in learning to say no to something good now in order to pursue something better later.Whether it's our finances, health, relationships, career, parenting, or spiritual life, many of the things worth having require us to give something up in the present.In this episode, I explore why we struggle with delayed gratification, how our culture has shaped our relationship with comfort, and why choosing discipline over immediate pleasure can ultimately lead to greater freedom.

What if one of the things holding you back isn't something you consciously believe—but a lie you don't even realize you've believed?In this episode, I share the biggest lessons I took away from Jennie Allen's Bible study The Lie You Don't Know You Believe. We often recognize obvious lies, but some of the beliefs shaping our thoughts, emotions, decisions, and relationships can be much harder to identify.In this episode, I walk through the study's key ideas and share what stood out to me about recognizing the lies we believe, replacing them with God's truth, and allowing Scripture to reshape the way we see ourselves and our lives.Lie Quiz https://www.jennieallen.com/lies-quiz

Have you ever struggled to set boundaries because you were afraid of disappointing people, hurting someone's feelings, or being seen as unloving?

Many people believe that saying "yes" is always the loving thing to do. But I hope this episode gives you a different perspective on what healthy, biblical boundaries really look like.In this episode, I share my understanding of boundaries, and why setting healthy boundaries isn't selfish—it's an important part of stewarding the relationships and responsibilities God has entrusted to us.

If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, overcommitting, or knowing when it's time to step back from an unhealthy situation, I hope this conversation encourages you.

Motherhood changed me in ways I never expected.Before becoming a mom, I had a very different understanding of success, purpose, and what it meant to be productive. I was driven, goal-oriented, and always working toward the next thing. But becoming a mother shifted my perspective and taught me the beauty of slowing down, being present, and embracing the season God had placed me in.In this episode, I share how motherhood transformed my priorities, deepened my faith, and changed the way I view purpose and calling. From learning about child development and intentionally investing in my son's early years to discovering a deeper understanding of God's love through motherhood, this season has shaped me in ways I never could have imagined.

Selling my business wasn't a decision I made overnight. In many ways, the story began years earlier with an unexpected car accident that forced me to slow down and step away from social media.What felt like an interruption at the time became the beginning of a redirection. During that season, God began reshaping my heart, leading me into Christian counseling, giving me a vision for 7 Dimensions, and revealing the difference between building something out of ambition and pursuing a calling rooted in His purpose.As difficult as it was, I realized it was time to surrender the business I had worked so hard to build. Looking back, I can see God's faithfulness through every step of the journey.In this episode, I share the story behind selling BCN Supplements, what God taught me through that season, and why letting go became one of the best decisions I could have made.Most importantly, I want to say thank you to everyone who supported BCN over the years. Your encouragement, trust, and support meant more than you know, and I'm incredibly grateful to have been part of your wellness journey.

During my time away from social media, there was one thing I never stopped doing: leading a women's Bible study.To be honest, there were weeks I questioned whether I should even be leading. Between motherhood and everything else life was bringing, I often felt unprepared and wondered if someone else would do a better job.But God reminded me that He wasn't asking me to show up with all the answers—He was simply asking me to show up.As we worked through Forgiving What You Can't Forget by Lysa TerKeurst, the Holy Spirit revealed something in my own heart that I didn't realize was still there: unforgiveness. What I thought was a Bible study I was leading for others became the very tool God used to bring healing and freedom into my own life.In this episode, I share how God exposed an area of my heart that still needed healing, the confirmations that followed, and the breakthrough that changed me.If you've ever wondered whether you've truly forgiven someone, or if you've felt unqualified for what God has called you to do, I pray this conversation encourages you.

In the previous episode, I shared why I stepped away from social media and podcasting for nearly a year. I was genuinely happy focusing on motherhood, learning about child development, and being fully present in the season God had given me. Returning wasn't something I was pursuing.But over time, God began placing people, conversations, scriptures, and opportunities in my path that pointed me toward something I couldn't ignore. What started as small nudges became a growing conviction that the gifts God gives us are meant to be stewarded faithfully.In this episode, I share the moments that challenged me, the confirmations I received, and why I ultimately felt called to step back behind the microphone.If you've ever wrestled with the tension between contentment in your current season and the calling God has placed on your life, I hope this conversation encourages you.✨ In this episode:• Why I wasn't planning to return• A conversation that challenged me• The impact of the Parable of the Talents• Recognizing God's confirmations• The difference between ambition and obedience• Learning to steward the gifts God has given usThank you for joining me as I continue sharing what God has been teaching me through this season.

After nearly a year away from social media and podcasting, I'm finally sharing the story behind my absence.When my son was born, I fully intended to continue creating content and running my business as usual. But once he became mobile, I realized I was being faced with a choice: constantly split my attention or fully embrace the season of motherhood God had given me.In this episode, I share why I stepped away, the tension between productivity and presence, how motherhood changed my priorities, and what God taught me during a season that looked quiet from the outside but was deeply transformative on the inside.If you've ever struggled to balance your calling, your responsibilities, and the season you're currently in, I hope this conversation encourages you.✨ In this episode:• Why I took a year off from social media• The challenges of balancing motherhood and work• Choosing presence over productivity• Learning to embrace a new season• Trusting God with changing priorities• What I'm learning about balance, purpose, and obedienceThank you for being here and for joining me as I step into this new chapter.
