God’s Healing Through Food + Nourishing Tips Jan 22, 2026

In today’s episode, Blakely and Maia sit down with their friend Emily Maxson, the heart behind Emily’s Fresh Kitchen, for a powerful and hope-filled conversation about healing, faith, and how God uses food as a tool to restore the body.

Emily shares her journey with chronic illness, walking listeners through her diagnosis with Crohn’s disease, navigating the pharmaceutical ladder, and the moment she felt God inviting her to approach healing in a different way. She opens up about how nutrition became a key part of her healing—not as a diet or quick fix, but as an act of obedience, stewardship, and trust in the Lord.

Together, they discuss what it looked like to walk through seasons of restriction without slipping into diet culture, how Emily stayed mentally and spiritually grounded while eating differently for healing, and the freedom she’s experienced on the other side. Emily shares where she’s at now in her health journey, foods she’s been able to reintroduce, and how she eats today with peace and flexibility.

The conversation also gets practical as Emily offers nourishing tips for everyday life—how to eat well at home, what to look for (and avoid) when reading labels, strategies for eating out while on the go, and how to approach food in a way that supports healing rather than control.

They close by talking about how God can use our stories for His glory. Emily shares encouragement for anyone feeling called to share their testimony, create, or serve others through what they’ve walked through!

This episode is an invitation to see food not as an idol or enemy, but as a gift God can use to heal, restore, and nourish the bodies He created.

This conversation is meant to be an invitation—not medical advice—into stewarding your health through faith, wisdom, and grace.

In today’s episode, Blakely and Maia sit down with their friend Blair, a fitness instructor at Freedom Studios in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, for an honest and redemptive conversation about movement, healing, and faith.

Blair shares how she fell in love with movement at a young age and how, even when she never imagined herself working in the fitness world, God had already placed that passion within her and the joy it's been to step into.

Blair shares her journey of healing from disordered eating and what it looks like to walk through restoration with God, the importance of prayer, and encouragement for anyone currently navigating a difficult relationship with food or their body.

They also discuss how to fall in love with movement again in a healthy, life-giving way. Blair offers practical tips for approaching movement from a place of freedom rather than control, and how reframing fitness can transform it into something rooted in joy, stewardship, and worship.

This episode is an invitation to see movement not as punishment, but as a gift—and to share about it in that way too!

This conversation is meant to be an invitation—not expert advice—into pursuing healing, freedom, and a renewed relationship with movement through a faith-first lens.

Inviting God into Our Health Journeys Jan 09, 2026

In today’s episode, Blakely and Maia kick off 2026 by inviting God into the conversation around health and wellness. As many of us set New Year’s goals—especially around fitness and habits—they talk about what it looks like to stop compartmentalizing our lives and instead invite God into all areas of our lives, including health and wellness!

They share personal stories of when caring for their bodies became less about control or appearance and more about stewardship, worship, and understanding the why behind health goals. Through Scripture and lived experience, they explore why our bodies matter to God, how caring for them honors Him, and how health ultimately equips us to better serve others and walk in the callings God has placed on our lives.

This episode lays the foundation for a new series of conversations around health, wellness, and business, all rooted in a faith-first perspective.

Scripture referenced: Romans 12:1; 1 Corinthians 6:19–20; 1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Peter 4:10; Psalm 139

This series is meant to be an invitation—not expert advice—into learning how to steward what God has given us and flourish from the inside out.

Cultivating Gratitude When the Heart Feels Numb Dec 17, 2025

In today’s episode, Blakely vulnerably shares her recent struggle with apathy and numbness—and how God has revealed gratitude as a remedy. After hearing a powerful quote at ACC about cultivating gratitude, Blakely and Maia unpack what it really looks like to practice gratitude when feelings are hard to access.

They talk about how cultivating gratitude often means sitting in remembrance of what God has already grown, and they explore how Scripture repeatedly calls God’s people to remember—especially in Deuteronomy 8:2, where God reminds Israel to reflect on how He has led them.

The episode closes with the most beautiful and easy practicals to cultivate gratitude in your life. They’re rooted in something simple and life-giving: remembering what God has already done.

A gentle, honest conversation for anyone walking through spiritual numbness and longing to reconnect with God through remembrance- we pray this ushers you into a time of gratitude!

All In: Honest Questions on Following God Fully Dec 08, 2025

This week, Blakely and Maia continue the All In Series with a conversation about the real, everyday barriers that keep people from going all in for God. They unpack the tension of feeling “too busy,” the fear of looking weird, and the challenge of staying faithful in places that feel anything but supportive.

They talk through how packed schedules can make it hard to prioritize what matters, the pressure to blend in instead of standing out, and why choosing obedience over approval is worth it. The girls also respond to practical questions like navigating faith while juggling bills and living boldly in more secular environments.

If you’ve ever felt held back by fear, culture, or real-life responsibilities, this conversation will encourage you that going all in for God is possible right where you are.

All In: Getting Comfortable Being Weird for God Nov 27, 2025

This week, Blakely and Maia continue the All In Series with a convo about what it looks like to be labeled “weird” or different when you’re trying to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. They unpack the pressure to blend in, the temptation to act like a chameleon in certain environments, and why staying rooted in who God has called you to be matters more than fitting in.

Both share how the fear of standing out often holds believers back and how God invites us to live boldly rather than quietly conforming to whatever room we’re in. They talk through practical ways to show up authentically, walk confidently in your identity, and embrace being set apart — because you never know how someone may need the message you’re there to share.

If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable being “different” in your faith or struggled with wanting to blend in, this conversation will encourage you to stand firm and be free to be bold!

FILL UR CUP – Expecting Shame, Met with Love (John 8) Oct 16, 2025

Welcome to another FILL UR CUP episode—our space to slow down, open Scripture, and spend intentional time with Jesus. We’re not theologians—just two friends learning as we go and inviting you to do the same.

In this week’s episode, Blakely shares from John 8 and the story of the woman caught in adultery. It’s a powerful picture of how Jesus loves us—with compassion that meets us where we are, and truth that calls us into something more.

Jesus didn’t shame her, but He also didn’t pretend her sin didn’t matter. He stood with her when everyone else walked away, and then said:
“Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”

That’s what real love looks like—steadfast and honest. It doesn’t excuse sin, and it doesn’t condemn. It stays, and it speaks.

We hope this conversation encourages you to come to Jesus just as you are—and to trust that He loves you enough to not leave you there.

A But God Story: Stolen Sunglasses Oct 12, 2025

In this bonus episode, Maia shares a surprising "But God" story that started with something small—a stolen pair of sunglasses—and turned into a big faith lesson. What seemed like just an everyday annoyance quickly became an opportunity to invite God into the middle of it.

This episode is more than a story—it's an encouragement to invite God into everything, even the little things. Whether it's lost items, daily frustrations, or big life challenges, there’s always room for a "But God" moment.

Don’t underestimate what God can do when you bring Him into the little things. Your obedience might just be the spark that changes your heart—or someone else’s.

FILL UR CUP – But God! (Daniel 6) Oct 07, 2025

Welcome to our new FILL UR CUP segments!

In these episodes, we take time to pause and fill our cup by opening the Word of God together. We’re not Bible scholars—just two girls learning as we go and sharing what God’s been teaching us, in hopes it encourages you to get into Scripture too.

In this episode, Maia and Blakely dive into Daniel 6 and the story of Daniel in the lions’ den. They talk about what it looks like to follow God with real intentionality—like Daniel did—even when it’s hard or uncomfortable.

This story is such a reminder that obedience doesn’t always lead to easy outcomes… but it does make space for God to move. Just when things looked over for Daniel, but God stepped in and did what only He could do. And He still does that today—not just here on earth, but for eternity.

We hope and pray this episode encourages you to speak BUT GOD over every area and decision in your life—and to know that it’s okay to wrestle, to ask hard questions, and to seek Him in all of it.

Ways We've Failed As Friends... Oct 01, 2025

In this episode, Maia and Blakely open up about the ways they’ve missed the mark in friendship—starting with gossip and unhealthy communication. They share honestly about times they’ve talked about people instead of to them, avoided hard conversations, or prioritized keeping the peace over making things right.

Along the way, they reflect on Scriptures that have challenged and shaped them in this area:

“Blessed are the peacemakers…” (Matthew 5:9)
“If you have something against your brother, go to them…” (Matthew 18)
“A friend loves at all times…” (Proverbs 17:17)
“The tongue has the power of life and death…” (Proverbs 18:21)
“As far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” (Romans 12:18)

This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about being honest, owning our part, and learning how to show up better for the people we care about.

Because let’s be real—none of us get this perfectly. But we can grow from our failures.

Part 2 Practical Steps to a Healthier Relationship with Social Media Sep 20, 2025

This week, we’re following up Part 1 with what’s actually changed since we called ourselves out for being addicted to social media. We’re talking about the boundaries we tried, the ones that stuck, and how we’ve been filling our time with things that actually give life (instead of draining it).

We get into protecting your peace, killing comparison, and what it means to really guard your heart in a world that constantly wants your attention.

“Above all else, guard your heart…” — Proverbs 4:23

For anyone who’s been feeling the pull to unplug — or at least log off a little,this episode is for you.

Real Talk: Social Media … Addiction Part 1 Sep 17, 2025

This week, Maia and Blakely get honest about our generation’s complicated relationship with social media — and how it’s quietly taken over our free time. We’re talking about addiction, distraction, and what it really means to rest in a world that constantly wants our attention.

We open up about our own habits, the boundaries we’ve struggled to keep, and how we’ve seen social media desensitize us to real life, real rest, and even God’s voice. But this isn’t about deleting all your apps or living off the grid — it’s about learning how to be present and purposeful in the spaces we’re called to.

We also get into the deeper questions:

Is social media actually bad?

What do healthy boundaries even look like?

And maybe the most important one:

What do you fill your time with after you stop? Because scrolling less doesn’t matter if we’re not replacing it with something better — something real, grounded, and life-giving.

If you've ever opened Instagram out of habit, felt tired but still kept scrolling, or wondered if it’s time to re-evaluate your relationship with your phone — this one's for you. Stay tuned for part 2 coming out this Friday 9/19!

The Practice of Abiding—In Every Season. Sep 10, 2025

This week, Maia and Blakely are talking about what it really means to abide in God—through every season, not just the good ones.

We’re breaking down what “abide” actually looks like in real life, and how that shifts in different seasons:

Winter — waiting, stillness, and when life feels quiet or lifeless

Spring — new beginnings, growth, and learning to trust again

Summer — fullness, fruit, and staying present with God

Fall — letting go, surrender, and preparing for change

We share how we’ve experienced each of these in our own walks, what God has taught us through them, and how to stay grounded when life doesn’t look how you thought it would.

Scripture referenced in this episode:

Ecclesiastes 3:1 – "There is a time for everything..."

John 15:4 – "Abide in me, and I in you..."

Luke 10:38–42 – The story of Mary and Martha

Song of Songs 2 – "Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away..."

Breakups 101 Sep 02, 2025

This week, Maia and Blakely get into all things breakups—being broken up with, breaking up with someone else, and all the confusing, emotional, sometimes cringey stuff in between. We’re sharing our own stories (yes, including the mistakes), talking about how to know when it’s time to end things, and what actually helps in the aftermath.

We also unpack the big questions: Is it normal to still miss someone even if you know it’s over? Should you stay in contact? How do you handle it when you’re the one being left? And how to hold close to your convictions rather than people’s opinions.

Whether it's fresh, in the past, or something you're still figuring out—this episode has something for you.

Psalm 23 Day 14: From Guest to Resident Aug 26, 2025

In today’s episode, MM closes the Psalm 23 series with the final line: “And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

David’s not just talking about a moment—he’s talking about a forever. A permanent place with God. A life lived under His care, both now and for eternity.

This episode is an invitation: Will you be a guest… or a resident? The Lord has made a way for you to dwell with Him, forever. All you have to do is choose Him.

Psalm 23 Day 13: All the Days of My Life Aug 23, 2025

In today’s episode, MM reflects on the final line of Psalm 23: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.”

After recounting how God has led, protected, and provided, David ends with confidence—God’s goodness and mercy are not temporary. They’re lifelong companions.

Even in hardship, David knew who he was walking with. This episode is a reminder that God’s kindness and love follow you too—right now, right where you are.

Psalm 23 Day 12: My Cup Overflows Aug 22, 2025

In today’s episode, Blakely reflects on what it means to say, “My cup overflows.”

David isn’t just saying that God provides—he’s saying God provides more than enough. The Lord doesn’t stop at “just enough to get by.” He pours out until our lives spill over with abundance.

But what does that really look like? And how do we experience it?

In this episode, Blakely shares her own story of going from spiritual emptiness to overflowing fullness. You’ll hear how this kind of abundance isn’t something we earn—it’s something we receive when we’re willing to empty ourselves of everything that doesn’t belong.

This episode is for anyone who feels drained, tired, or like they have nothing left to give. Be encouraged: God doesn’t just want to fill you, He wants to overflow through you.

Psalm 23 Day 11: You are Anointed. Aug 21, 2025

In today’s episode, MM unpacks the meaning behind the phrase: “You anoint my head with oil.”

Anointing isn’t reserved for pastors, leaders, or the “super spiritual.” It’s for every believer. If you’ve accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, you are anointed.

But what does that really mean?

In this episode, MM shares how anointing is a gift from God—evidence of the Holy Spirit in your life—and how it’s not based on appearance, talent, or status, but on the heart. Drawing from David’s anointing in 1 Samuel 16, you’ll be reminded that God chooses differently than the world does. He doesn’t need a resume—He looks at the heart.

This is for anyone who’s ever felt unqualified, unseen, or unsure whether they’re “enough” for God’s purposes. Be encouraged: you don’t earn anointing—you receive it when you choose Him.

Psalm 23 Day 10: A Table Prepared for You Aug 20, 2025

In today’s episode, MM explores the verse in Psalm 23: “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.”

What does it mean that God sets a table for us while our enemies are still around? And what kind of table is it, really?

This episode is for anyone who feels like they have to “clean up” before they can meet with God—or anyone walking through anxiety, shame, or struggle. MM unpacks how this table is not stationary, not exclusive, and not dependent on your perfection. It’s always ready, always set, and always moving with you.

You’ll learn what it means to commune with God in everyday life—through worship, prayer, and simply showing up as you are. This table is not just about rest, it’s about relationship. And it’s available even in the middle of battle.

May you be encouraged to take your seat at the table today—just as you are.

Psalm 23 Day 9: Protected and Redirected Aug 19, 2025

In today’s episode, MM unpacks one of the most surprising lines in Psalm 23: “Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

These tools of a shepherd don’t look comforting at first glance—until you understand what they represent. The rod symbolizes God fighting for you. The staff shows His care to guide, correct, and reroute you when you're headed off path.

This episode is for anyone who feels like life is out of their control, or who needs a reminder that God is both protector and gentle guide. May you be comforted knowing He defends you and directs you—because He loves you.

Psalm 23 Day 8: Intimacy in the Valley Aug 19, 2025

In this episode, we continue our 14-day journey through Psalm 23 with one of the most intimate turns in the entire passage: “I will fear no evil, for you are with me.”

Blakely reflects on the shift in David’s voice—from talking about God to talking to Him. Why the change from “He” to “You”? Because something happens when you walk through the valley with God. There’s a deeper intimacy that can only be found in the hard places—where faith turns into firsthand experience.

Using a powerful metaphor from her own life (a parachute and a skydive!), Blakely unpacks what it looks like to move from belief in theory to trust in reality. It’s in the valley that we discover: the parachute opens. God really is who He says He is.

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re walking through their own shadowy valley—through loss, uncertainty, fear, or pain. May this be a reminder that you're not alone. God doesn’t always remove the valley, but He always walks through it with us. That’s the promise.

“You are with me.” Don’t miss the intimacy in that today.

Psalm 23 Day 7: You Get to Walk Through Aug 17, 2025

In this episode, we continue our 14-day journey through Psalm 23 with one of the most powerful and hope-filled verses in all of Scripture: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...”

MM reflects on what it means that, because of Jesus, death is no longer something to fear — it’s just a shadow. Through the cross and the resurrection, Christ defeated death, and now we get to walk through the valley — not pitch a tent there.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in a hard season. If you’ve been camped out in the valley — in grief, fear, anxiety, or pain — may this be your reminder: you don’t have to stay there. You get to walk through it, with your Shepherd leading the way.

Psalm 23 Day 6: A Life That Reflects Him Aug 16, 2025

In this episode, Blakely continues our 14-day devotional journey through Psalm 23 by leaning into the verse: “For His name’s sake.”

What does it really mean that God leads us in righteousness for His name? Blakely unpacks how our lives can become a reflection of who He is — not because we have it all together, but because He’s the one leading.

This episode is an invitation to consider how others might see God through your life, even in the everyday moments. What an honor it is to walk with Him.

Psalm 23 Day 5: Restored to Walk His Way Aug 15, 2025

In this episode, Maia continues our 14-day devotional journey through Psalm 23.

We’re leaning into one of the most beautiful and humbling truths in Scripture: “He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” What if walking in righteousness isn’t about striving... but about resting first?

Maia shares her personal journey of realizing that before we’re led on the path of righteousness, our Shepherd first leads us to still waters and green pastures. This episode is an invitation to pause, to be restored, and to trust that God's leadership always begins with His love and care—not pressure to perform.

Psalm 23 Day 4: He Restores My Soul. Aug 14, 2025

Today’s focus: “He restores my soul.”
What does real restoration look like, and where do we actually find it?

Blakely shares a story from a mission trip to Bangladesh and reflects on how true healing—soul-deep healing—doesn’t come from quick fixes, self-reliance, or even help from others, but through the care of our Shepherd. God is the one who restores.

Psalm 23 Day 3: You need true rest. Aug 13, 2025

In this episode, Blakely continues our 14-day devotional journey through Psalm 23.

We’re diving into one of the most comforting (and kind of challenging) lines: “He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters.” What does real rest even look like? And why does it sometimes feel so hard to actually receive it?

Blakely shares how, just like sheep, we often don’t know what we need or where to find it—but our Shepherd does. With some surprising facts about sheep (lol) and a look into the historical context of David’s words, we’ll explore how surrendering control and trusting God leads to the soul-deep rest we’re all craving.

In this episode, Blakely continues our 11-day devotional journey through Psalm 23, focusing on what it means to surrender our desires to the Shepherd who knows exactly what we need—and when we need it.

This reflection invites us to release the pressure to strive or force outcomes, and instead rest in the truth that the God who created us will give us what we were made for. While He sees the desires of our hearts, He often fulfills them in ways we don’t expect—always with love, always with purpose.

When You’re Just Not Feeling It: An Honest Talk About the Funk Aug 05, 2025

In this episode, Blakely and Maia get real about something most of us don’t like to admit—what happens when we’re just not feeling it with God.

Whether you’re feeling spiritually dry, distant from God, or straight-up unmotivated to open your Bible, this conversation is for you.

They unpack that uncomfortable feeling of not wanting to pursue God, and ask the deeper questions: Is this a season of quiet growth, or are we slowly drifting? Together, they carve out the space to honestly reflect—with God and with ourselves—on where that spiritual funk might be coming from.

Blakely and Maia bring honesty and hope as they share their own struggles with spiritual apathy, offering both compassion and clarity. They give language to what can feel like a confusing or even shameful season—and remind us that we're not alone in it.

Jesus Is Better: Owning Your Story, Whatever It Looks Like Jul 29, 2025

In this episode, Blakely and Maia share their very different journeys to Jesus—one coming to faith in 8th grade, and the other encountering God during a wild college season. Both reveal how God met them where they were and transformed their lives.

They openly discuss the shame and guilt that often hold us back from sharing our testimonies. Whether you feel your story is “too ordinary” or “too messy,” this conversation challenges the lies that keep us silent.

Blakely and Maia also explore what it means to walk the narrow path Jesus calls us to—a path that is often difficult but always worth it. They encourage listeners to embrace their unique stories, reject shame, and boldly share how Jesus is better than all this world has to offer.

If you’ve ever felt shame or unsure about your testimony, this conversation is for you. Jesus meets us all, and your story can be a light for someone else. And it’s not too late for Jesus to meet you.

Blakely’s Journey from Worldly Pursuits to God's Adventure Jul 21, 2025

In this honest episode, we sit down with Blakely to hear how God met her in the middle of chasing money, image, and status—and invited her into something deeper.

She shares about attending a youth camp she didn’t even want to go to (thanks to some crushes, yes plural LOL), and how that unexpected moment became the turning point for her walk with God. Since then, she's learned what it means to truly surrender, to choose obedience (even when it’s hard), and to trust that following God doesn’t kill our dreams—it brings them to life.

We talk about how God awakens passions, reshapes desires, and fills the void that worldly success never could. If you’ve ever asked, “Is this something I want to be all in for?”—this conversation is for you.

Where has Maia been? A Season of Surrender and Rest Jul 14, 2025

In this honest and personal episode, Maia returns to the podcast after taking a much-needed break. She shares where she’s been, what led her to step away, and the refining journey God has taken her through in the quiet.

We talk about the beauty of stillness, the discomfort of waiting, and how God often works behind the scenes in our lives. Maia opens up about what He’s been teaching her about surrender—especially when it requires a no to "good things".

We also explore a big question: How do we know if our desires are from God, from ourselves, or from the flesh? Together, we look at what it means to fully surrender our wants, dreams, and plans to the Lord and trust that His ways are higher—even when they don’t make sense.

Whether you’re in a season of transition, silence, or questioning, this conversation is a reminder that God sees you, He’s with you, and His way is always best!!!

A Word For When You Don't Like How You Look. May 24, 2024

On a real note, who’s struggling with physical insecurities? I have been!! And this week I read 1 Samuel 10-11 and something jumped out to me that never has before. The noting of Saul’s physical appearance. As I was studying this, I had a revelation about my own physical appearance. I was designed, completely, by God. Every inch. Every part I like and don’t like. And God will can use physical insecurities for His purpose! And He can use them to further the Kingdom of God!! How cool! I hope this perspective shift helps you give the Lord your physical insecurities and helps you even talk more about them. In hopes that more conversations, can lead to more people being set free from the lies they are believing about themselves!

I pray this nontypical physical insecurity conversation helps remind you that you were created purposely to further the Kingdom of God. EXACTLY AS YOU ARE!!

BEING INTENTIONALLY KIND! Jun 01, 2023

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS! As we grow older, being intentionally kind can become a struggle because of the business of life. On this mini episode, MM shares a perspective shift she’s had since moving to Delaware. Realizing that she is there for a reason. Not to benefit herself but to glorify the Lord. And one way to do that is living a life of kindness. As a believer, our lives should be marked by intentional kindness. On this episode she shares little more on what that looks like and we would LOVE to hear ways you are intentionally kind as inspiration! Remember, you are not here by chance and we’re in this together! Xx

For the one that feels like they are "In-Between" May 11, 2023

Isla is back!! And we are so happy about it! After a not so great day there's nothing better than a conversation with a friend- and that's how this phone call was for us. Isla shares about her past few months and how it taught her how to listen to God rather than people. Listening to God rather than people can be difficult, especially when people's voices in life are very loud. But it is made easier when we prioritize and really value the Lord's voice rather than people's opinions. There are things that keep us from believing that God's voice really is the best for us in our lives, Isla shares some things that were keeping her from trusting the Lord and how she worked through them. MM shares a similar to story of Isla's in the Bible- David in 1 Samuel. Sometimes we forget that the Bible is full of relatable stories that are to teach us how to grow in relationship with God and freedom.

Isla also talks about her post grad experience with jobs and offers advice for the person that just feels like they are in the "In-Between" whether it's with jobs, relationships, or anything. We hope that this real conversation encourages you to walk a little more confidently i trusting the Lord above all else with your life and leads you to a life of freedom. We are so thankful for you. In this Together with you always.
