What if Easter isn’t something you celebrate once a year?

What if it was meant to change how you live every day?

In this episode, we talk about the difference between tradition and truth and what it actually looks like to live in the power of the resurrection daily.

We talk about:

Legalism vs conviction

The origins of Easter traditions

Why Resurrection Day should not stop at Sunday

How Passover points to Jesus

Taking communion at home and what it means

How to stay ready for Jesus’ return

If you’ve ever thought: “Am I just going through the motions?” “Is this actually honoring God or just tradition?”

This conversation is for you.

Following Jesus is not seasonal. It should change how you live every day.

In this episode of Walking Defined, Baylee and Kate breaking down what strongholds are and how they quietly keep us stuck in cycles of sin, insecurity, and misplaced identity.

If you’ve ever struggled with:

• Insecurity and body image
• Idolatry (putting something above God)
• Sexual sin or shame
• Negative thought patterns you can’t seem to break

This conversation will help you understand why those patterns keep showing up and how to experience true healing through Jesus.

We talk about how strongholds form, how the enemy uses them to distort your identity, and how things like control, self-image, relationships, and even “healthy habits” can become idols without us realizing it.

You’ll also hear honest, personal experiences around:

• Body image struggles and self-worth
• The shift from insecurity to idolatry
• Sexual sin, pornography, and healing in marriage
• Breaking shame and renewing your mind
• How culture distorts God’s design for sex and identity

Most importantly, we walk through how to break strongholds using biblical truth and step into the freedom God has for you.

In this episode of Walking Defined, we’re diving into one of the most uncomfortable—but essential—parts of the Christian life: evangelism.

If we’re honest, most of us avoid sharing the gospel. Not because we don’t believe it… but because we’re afraid.

Afraid of rejection. Afraid of saying the wrong thing. Afraid of stepping outside of our comfort.

But what if our silence is costing someone their eternity?

We talk about:

• Why so many Christians don’t share their faith
• The fear of man vs. obedience to God
• Why you will never feel “ready” to speak up
• The difference between planting seeds and seeing results
• Why recognizing sin is essential to understanding the gospel
• How to approach evangelism with both truth and grace
• What it looks like to share your faith with family and friends
• Practical ways to start having intentional conversations

This conversation is convicting for us too. Because at the end of the day, the question isn’t just how to evangelize…

It’s whether we’re willing to obey when God calls us to speak.

Scripture Referenced:

• 1 Peter 3:15 — Be prepared to give an answer for the hope within you
• Matthew 28:19 — The Great Commission
• 1 Corinthians 3:6 — One plants, another waters, but God gives the growth

What comes out of your mouth is not random—it is a reflection of what is in your heart.

In this episode, we talk about the power of the tongue and how our everyday speech can reveal deeper issues of conviction, compromise, and spiritual awareness.

From casually using the Lord’s name in vain to gossip, exaggeration, and empty phrases we don’t think twice about, this conversation challenges us to slow down and examine what our words are actually producing.

This is not about becoming polished or perfect.

It is about becoming aware.

Because scripture is clear: the tongue is powerful, and what flows out of us is rooted in what is within us.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why the tongue is one of the hardest things to control
• What it actually means to use the Lord’s name in vain
• How culture normalizes careless and empty speech
• The connection between your words and your heart
• Gossip, exaggeration, and “harmless” language
• Conviction vs. desensitization in everyday conversation
• What it looks like to bring your speech under the lordship of Jesus

Scripture Referenced:

James 3 Exodus 20:7 Leviticus 19:12 Deuteronomy 5:11 James 5:12 Ephesians 4:29 Luke 6:45 Matthew 12:34 Romans 6:1–2

Pregnancy and birth are some of the most powerful experiences a woman can walk through.

But modern culture rarely talks about them through the lens of God’s design.

In this episode of Walking Defined, Kate and Baylee talk honestly about pregnancy, birth, and the way motherhood reshapes a woman’s heart. Baylee shares her experiences carrying and delivering her children, the fears many women face during pregnancy, and the journey that led her to pursue a home birth.

They also discuss the role husbands play during pregnancy, the emotional and physical changes women experience while carrying a child, and how motherhood becomes one of the ways God refines a woman’s character.

Motherhood changes everything. Not just your schedule or your priorities, but your heart.

This conversation reflects on pregnancy and birth through a biblical worldview and explores the beauty and difficulty of bringing life into the world within God’s design for marriage and family.

In this episode we discuss:

• The fears many women experience during pregnancy

• Encouragement for husbands supporting their wives

• Emotional and physical changes during pregnancy

• Hospital birth vs home birth

• Baylee’s birth stories and what labor was really like

• Why motherhood reshapes a woman’s priorities

• How God uses motherhood as a tool for sanctification

Walking Defined is a podcast featuring conversations for women who take Scripture seriously and want to live defined by God rather than culture.

New episodes release every Tuesday.

In this episode of Walking Defined, Kate and Baylee walk through Romans 12:2 and what it actually looks like to live it in a culture that constantly disciples us through noise, convenience, entertainment, and self-glorification.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

This conversation is a direct and honest look at the subtle ways we absorb the world’s patterns without realizing it — from influencer culture and constant consumption to entertainment that slowly desensitizes our conscience. They unpack what it means to truly renew your mind, not through surface-level habits, but through daily surrender, Scripture, and obedience.

If we want to discern God’s will, we cannot think like the world.

We talk about:

• How influencer culture trains us to consume, compare, and chase the next “fix”

• What Romans 12:2 really means in everyday life • Why even “wholesome” content can quietly shape our hearts

• A direct conversation about violent media and what it does to empathy

• The pattern of this world: self-glorification, comfort, and instant gratification

• Why God often speaks loudest in silence

• How convenience and constant noise dull spiritual sensitivity

• The daily work of renewing your mind through obedience

• Why speaking Scripture out loud matters

• The connection between gratitude, humility, and transformation

Scripture referenced:

Romans 12:2 — Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Philippians 4:8 — Fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable.

Matthew 4:1–11 — Jesus resists temptation by responding with Scripture.

This episode is for the woman who wants to take Scripture seriously — not just as inspiration, but as instruction.

In this episode of Walking Defined, Kate and Baylee sit down with Whitney Sullivan for a counter-cultural conversation about faith in Hollywood, marriage under pressure, and the courage it takes to obey God when the culture is moving in the opposite direction.

Whitney - wife of former actor Tyson Sullivan and CEO of the LA marketing company Size Matters - shares what it was like to live and build a career in Los Angeles while holding firm to biblical convictions. From moving to LA to pursue singing, to encountering the moral compromise normalized in the entertainment industry, to ultimately building influence in marketing, Whitney walks through what it means to stand firm in an environment that does not reward righteousness.

This episode goes beyond Hollywood. It addresses the deeper issue: we are living in a culture that redefines truth, blurs gender roles, mocks leadership, and quietly dismantles the family structure God designed.

And when God’s order is rejected, homes suffer.

Kate, Baylee, and Whitney speak candidly about:

• The early warning signs in the entertainment industry that exposed spiritual darkness
• What it costs to be openly Christian in professional spaces
• How cultural narratives subtly tear down masculinity and confuse gender roles
• Why dismantling men ultimately harms women and children
• The pressure of being “passing ships in the night” in marriage
• Career ambition versus covenant responsibility
• How roles inside the home became disordered - and what it took to restore them
• The humility required to repent, realign, and rebuild
• Leaving Los Angeles for Wyoming out of conviction, not convenience
• Choosing obedience over status, influence, and financial security
• Why protecting fatherhood, motherhood, and marriage matters for the next generation

Whitney shares how stepping away from visibility and into simplicity didn’t diminish her purpose; it clarified it. The move away from Hollywood wasn’t about fear. It was about discernment. It was about protecting their marriage, their home, and their future children from a system that normalizes compromise.

This episode is not political. It is biblical.

Jesus did not call His followers to blend in with culture. He called them to be set apart. To guard their homes. To protect their marriages. To raise children in truth. To live with conviction even when it costs them influence.

If you feel the tension between career ambition and family responsibility… If you sense culture shifting further from God’s design… If you are wrestling with what obedience looks like in your season…

This conversation will meet you there.

Standing firm will cost you something. But compromise costs more.

In this episode of Walking Defined, Baylee bravely shares her full testimony — a story marked by early sexual brokenness, shame, manipulation, spiritual deception, and ultimately, redemption through the relentless love of God.

This conversation walks through the progression of small compromises, the lie of “what’s one or two dates going to hurt?”, and how a toxic relationship slowly unraveled into emotional and spiritual abuse. Baylee shares openly about manipulation, coercion, deception, suicidal despair, and the moment she believed she had to choose between Jesus and the man who was hurting her.

What followed was rock bottom — and the beginning of true surrender.

Through her father’s unwavering love, a one-way ticket to Mexico, and the grace of a God who never left her, Baylee experienced the kind of redemption that only Christ can bring. This episode is not just a warning about dating unbelievers or ignoring red flags — it is a testimony of how Jesus rebuilds what the enemy tries to destroy.

Content Note: This episode includes mature themes including sexual brokenness, emotional abuse, and suicidal ideation. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How early exposure to sexual brokenness planted seeds of shame
• The subtle lies behind “just one date” and casual compromise
• Emotional manipulation and how it distorts reality
• The spiritual deception that keeps people bound in toxic relationships
• Believing the lie that you are “ruined” beyond redemption
• Hitting rock bottom and wrestling with suicidal thoughts
• The role of a father’s love in pointing back to Jesus
• Forgiveness and viewing abusers through the lens of spiritual bondage
• Healing from trauma and learning to trust again in marriage
• Why being equally yoked matters
• The beauty of redemption when surrender becomes real

This episode is a reminder that no matter how far you’ve walked, no matter how tangled the story feels, Jesus stands ready to rebuild from the ground up.

God does not waste rock bottom.

n this episode of Walking Defined, Kate and Baylee step back and ask a question every believer must wrestle with:

What is the purpose of this life?

If it’s not to amass wealth, status, entertainment, or happiness, then what are we actually living for?

This conversation was sparked by Baylee reading The Final Quest by Rick Joyner, an allegorical vision of the Christian life that opened a deeper reflection on humility, pride, spiritual warfare, and eternal perspective. From there, Kate and Baylee unpack how pride functions as a primary tactic of the enemy, why humility is required to even see the battle, and how easily distraction pulls believers away from what truly matters.

Together, they explore the tension between living faithfully in the world while not living for the world, why even good pursuits can become vanity when rooted in pride, and how Scripture consistently points us back to eternity as the lens through which life should be evaluated.

This episode also addresses the urgency of salvation, the reality of spiritual warfare that never pauses, and the call for believers to live intentionally, storing up treasures in heaven rather than building kingdoms on earth.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why pride is a primary tactic of the enemy and how it blinds believers
• The “cloak of humility” and why humility allows us to see spiritual warfare clearly
• Why the spiritual battle never takes a break in this life
• How distraction keeps believers passive and ineffective
• The difference between happiness and joy
• Why even wisdom can become vanity when pursued for self
• The urgency of choosing eternity and the danger of remaining undecided
• What it means to store up treasures in heaven
• Why humility is not self-hatred or lack of confidence
• The difference between striving to look holy and being transformed by Christ
• Why renewing the mind daily in God’s Word is essential
• How silence, stillness, and listening shape discernment
• A closing prayer for reordered priorities, humility, and renewed focus on eternity

Scripture referenced:

• Ecclesiastes 1–2 – The vanity of wealth, pleasure, and earthly wisdom
• Matthew 6:20 – Storing up treasures in heaven
• James 1:19–20 – Humility, restraint, and righteousness
• Philippians 4:7 – The peace of God that surpasses understanding
• Proverbs 18:21 – The power of life and death in the tongue
• Luke 10:38–42 – Mary and Martha and choosing the better thing
