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

Show notes

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.

Psalm 23 Day 2: “I shall not want” - A Declaration. Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

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.

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

Plus, they share practical tips to help you press in when you don’t feel like it, and encouragement for staying faithful when everything feels flat.

If you've ever felt stuck, numb, or unsure how to reconnect with God—you're not alone. This episode is an invitation to be honest, to draw near again, and to believe that even in the funk, Jesus hasn’t left you.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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!!
