Hey girl: if you are struggling with waiting on His plan for your life... this episode is for you. Brittany Dawn and Ashley Hetherington discuss the topic of waiting on God's timing, the importance of surrendering to His plan, and finding joy in the waiting season. How there is purpose to be found within the waiting. In this conversation, Ashley and Brittany discuss the challenges that have come and the harsh reality and temptation to take matters into their own hands. If you're in a season of learning to walk blindly in faith, unsure of what lies ahead, you will find so much comfort in this episode. I hope this encourages you to dig a little deeper into God's presence today, and serves as a reminder that He will never leave you behind.

Wrestling in the Waiting Season with Ashley Hetherington

Have you ever walked through trial after trial questioning how much more you can endure?

Have you ever doubted how in the world God would call you to something with your broken past lurking around every corner?

Have you ever just doubted God?

Well sis, this might be the podcast for you.

The Bible tells us that the storms of life are inevitable in this lifetime. I’ll dare to say that when you jump into the deep end with Jesus, that’s actually where the waters get rough. But the storm set out to drown you is the very storm that God will use to refine, chisel, and call you.

In the Chiseled and Called podcast, Brittany Dawn is authentically raw about her walk with the Lord as she shares past struggles, biggest failures, and current uphill battles. This is a space where all are welcome and no story is too far past the point of redemption.

Hey girl! I’m Brittany Dawn. A born and raised Texan, wife, foster mom, and founder of She Lives Freed. In 2019, I had a radical, unexplainable incomprehensible encounter with Jesus that would forever change my life. Since that night, no aspect of my life has looked the same.

Since that pivotal moment four years ago, I have walked through excruciating seasons of pruning. I’ve lost everything and everyone, I’ve navigated divorce, walked through the flames of cancel culture, faced hardship, and found myself broken amidst heartbreak. Yet through every high and low, I can confidently say that my constant has been Jesus. That my constant always will be Jesus. And I’m here to encourage you that at the end of it all, if all you have is Him, He is all you need.

I joke with friends that I skip the surface level talk and dive right in to the deep conversations over a cup of coffee… but truthfully, that’s what I’m here to do. And through it all, point your focus right back to the King.

Think of each episode as a big sister talk. I’m here through your worst day, tilting your chin up towards the King and reminding you that you can, in fact, continue on. I’m here to point you to scripture that speaks truth when your circumstances shout otherwise. I’m here to remind you that your past is not too broken and you’re not too far gone.

The Toxic Reality of ‘Self Help’ Culture With Becky Kiser

This one is for the girl who has been there, too. Maybe unknowingly, or perhaps you proudly wore the ‘witchcraft’ badge of honor. Either way, Jesus can save you… too. Ashley Jones shares her powerful testimony today, and it’s easily one of the most incredible ones that I’ve ever heard. 
There’s no denying that New Age beliefs and practices are running rampant through this generation right now, and we shed light on why it’s one of the biggest deceptions unfolding in the body of Christ.
