The Exhale Podcast

In this bonus episode, we had to go outside, touch some grass and get real, honest and raw with God. What do you do when prayer feels hard? How do you keep your faith when you’re disappointed? Together, we explore what it means to bring your honest emotions to God, trust Him in the heaviest moments. If you've been carrying disappointment, wrestling with your feelings, or longing to reconnect with God, this conversation is for you. Join us, and get ready to exhale as we close out the summer with this bonus episode.

This episode is a special edition that we are calling the Summer Exhale series. Its purpose is to help you rest, get nourished, and regulate your nervous system. 

Today, I sat with my good friend, and licensed therapist, Dr. Sheron Davenport. In this honest conversation she helps us understand what true rest is, how God intended us to rest, the fact there are 7 types of rest, and why it’s so hard for so many of us to find it in our day to day lives. Join us on this episode to get the rest and care you need to live a life well rested.

Where does hearing actually begin? Is it with our physical ears or is there something else that allows us to truly hear and understand? Join me a journey through John Chapter 8 to gain some insight on what it mean to truly hear what the Lord is saying.

The Exhale podcast is created as a space for you to exhale and experience God's peace and one of the ways we can do that is by learning how to hear Him clearly.

Your thoughts and beliefs may be working against your prayers.In this episode, we reflect on the moment in Gospel of Luke where Zechariah is met with answered prayer—yet struggles to believe it when it finally arrives. Faced with a message from Gabriel, his response reveals something many of us wrestle with: the tension between what we’ve asked God for and what we actually believe is possible.Sometimes the barrier isn’t God’s willingness to move… it’s our ability to receive.If you’ve ever struggled to believe in something good—even while asking for it—this conversation will meet you there.

What might be different if you were truly be free?

In this episode, we sit down for a meaningful and inspiring conversation about freedom—unpacking powerful truths from I Don’t Care by Cornelius Lindsey. Together, we explore the courage it takes to release expectations, quiet the noise, and live unburdened.

This episode is an invitation to let go, breathe deeper, and step into a version of yourself that is no longer confined by fear or approval.

The book is available for purchase on all platforms.

The syllabus is cool and all but the real learning happens when you lend yourself to the process. Even the worst parts. Year two has been particularly challenging, especially last semester. Take a listen to Episode 4 of the Exhale Podcast as I share how fire really can bring about refinement.

Oftentimes, what we are actually seeking in relationships is emotional attunement. We need to feel seen and safe, and Jesus did too. Come with me on a journey as we process what emotional attunement is and how to effectively make it real in our lives.

Many of us have been taught that faith means staying strong, pushing through, or keeping difficult emotions at a distance. But what if faith also requires something deeper?

The courage to feel.

In this episode of The Exhale Podcast, Brittney sits down with special guest Brennan Steele for a thoughtful conversation about the relationship between faith, emotional honesty, and the process of healing.

Together they explore how many people learn to suppress or spiritualize their emotions rather than fully experience them. Over time, this disconnection can leave individuals feeling spiritually confused, emotionally overwhelmed, or unsure how faith and feelings are meant to coexist.

This conversation invites listeners to consider a different perspective: that emotional awareness is not a threat to faith, but an important part of spiritual maturity and personal growth.

In this episode, we discuss:
• Why many people struggle to acknowledge their emotions in faith spaces
• The difference between avoiding emotions and learning to process them
• How emotional honesty can deepen both spiritual and relational health
• What it means to develop the faith to feel

If you’ve ever wondered whether your emotions belong in your spiritual life, this episode offers a thoughtful and compassionate invitation to explore that question.

Take a breath, and join the conversation.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted from striving…If you’ve been carrying expectations that don’t feel like yours…If you’re ready to nourish your inner world differently…

This episode is for you. We explore how the language we carry, spoken, internalized, or inherited, becomes nourishment or depletion for our souls. The words we rehearse become beliefs. The beliefs become identity. And identity shapes how much peace we allow ourselves to experience.

This episode invites you to slow down and notice:

• The phrases you repeat when you’re anxious

• The narratives you’ve accepted about yourself

• The spiritual language that has either healed or harmed you

• The ways your body responds to the words you carry

Through a blend of psychological insight, embodied awareness, and gentle reflection, we examine how words impact the nervous system and how we can begin choosing language that cultivates peace instead of pressure.

This episode is your invitation to exhale.
