Episode 07 – Emotional Sobriety: Don’t Let Feelings Fool You 

Sunshine, let’s talk truth—your emotions? They’re valid. But that doesn’t mean they should lead. In this episode of The Lindsay Brown Show, we’re unpacking what it means to walk in emotional sobriety—where faith, not feelings, gets the final say.

If you've ever confused chemistry for clarity or called chaos “God-sent” because it felt good in the moment, this one's going to check your heart and steady your head. Because we’re not chasing potential—we’re choosing peace.

Grab your journal. This conversation is grown-woman faith in motion.

Here’s What We’re Unpacking:

 💜 Why being led by emotions makes you vulnerable
 💜 How to identify emotional confusion in dating and marriage
 💜 What the Bible says about emotional discipline (hello Proverbs 25:28!)
 💜 The difference between being emotionally available and emotionally reactive
 💜 How emotional sobriety protects your peace, your discernment, and your destiny

Key Takeaways:

 💜 Emotions are real, but they don’t always reflect the truth.
 💜 Emotional sobriety is about aligning your feelings with your faith.
 💜 God’s word, not just your feelings, should guide your choices.

🎙️ What We’re Unpacking

  💜 How to spot the difference between godly character and empty talk
  💜 The spiritual red flags you shouldn’t ignore

Making Peace with Purpose: Why Some Men Are Lessons, Not Lifelong Partners

Not every connection is meant to last a lifetime. Some men come into your life not to stay, but to teach. In this bonus episode, we’re diving into the hard truth that not every relationship is a covenant — some are divine assignments meant to stretch you, wake you up, and turn you back toward God. If you’ve ever found yourself crying over a man who was never meant to be your forever, this one’s for you. Sis, you didn’t just survive — you graduated. It’s time to make peace with your past and walk into your purpose.

🎙️ Here’s What We’re Unpacking:

 💜 The difference between a growth man and a God man
 💜 Why you can’t marry the lesson
 💜 How to recognize spiritual assignments disguised as relationships

Spiritual Insight:

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28 (NIV)

In this soul-checking episode, Lindsay Brown gets real about the dangers of playing house without a covenant. Are you living like a wife while being labeled “just his girl”? Are you investing in a man who hasn’t made a God-honoring commitment to you? 

This episode calls women back to standards, to clarity, and to their divine worth. Lindsay breaks down why cohabitation without marriage leads to confusion, how to realign your choices with your values, and what the Bible says about awakening love too soon. Because you weren’t born to audition. You were born to be chosen.

Here’s What We’re Unpacking

💜 Why living with a man before marriage puts your spirit at risk

💜 The difference between access and actual commitment

💜 How to reset your boundaries and reclaim your voice

💜 Why covenant protects, while convenience deceives

💜 How to stop “almost being chosen” and start walking like God’s woman

Key Scripture References

📖 Song of Solomon 8:4 – “Do not awaken love before it so desires.”

📖 Proverbs 14:1 – “The wise woman builds her house…”

📖 Song of Solomon 4:7 – “You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.”

Quotes to Remember:

You are not a layaway wife.

Stop being a placeholder when you’re called to be a promise.

Proximity isn’t protection. And access without covering is spiritual exposure.

God won’t bless confusion or compromise.

Welcome to The Lindsay Brown Show, the official podcast of the Sunshine Why Would You Do That? movement.

In this foundational episode, Lindsay Brown takes you back to where it all began—not on social media or a big stage, but with a journal entry in 1997. This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a calling born from heartbreak, healing, and Holy Spirit conviction. You’ll hear how Lindsay began documenting the missteps and patterns she witnessed in women (and in herself), and how those raw observations became the voice of Sunshine.

✨ Meet Sunshine: She’s the woman who gave too much, stayed too long, and mistook chemistry for commitment. She’s also the woman rising—emotionally mature, biblically grounded, and fiercely feminine.

💛 This episode introduces you to the voice behind the mic, the mission behind the movement, and the reason so many women are finally asking, “Sunshine… why would you do that?”

What You’ll Hear:

• The journal entry that sparked a movement
• Who Sunshine really is (and why she might look like you)
• What to expect every week on the show: real conversations, biblical insights, and tough love with a tender tone
