In Episode 5 of the 13:22 Life Podcast, Bri introduces a lifestyle that every believer striving to walk in God’s purpose must embrace: L.O.T — Listen, Obey, and Trust.

We often say we trust God, but what does that look like in real life when things don’t make sense, when doors close, or when He asks you to take a leap with no clear landing? This episode dives into the importance of hearing God’s voice, following His instructions, and believing He’s still working—even when you don’t see it yet.

If you’re in a season of waiting, decision-making, or quiet obedience, this message will strengthen your faith and remind you that God honors those who are led by His voice, not their own understanding.

In This Episode:

👂 The power of listening for God's direction

🙌 Why obedience often comes before understanding

🕊️ What it truly means to trust God's timing

🔥 How LOT living changes the way you approach faith, business, and family

📖 Real stories and spiritual encouragement for your current season

Scripture Focus: Proverbs 3:5–6 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

In this episode of the 13:22 Life Podcast, we dive deep into a struggle many believers face but rarely talk about: spiritual laziness. We all have moments when we don’t feel like praying, reading, or showing up for God — but what happens when we let our feelings take the lead?

Bri shares real-life reflections on how to push past emotional and spiritual fatigue and why discipline in your faith walk matters more than ever. It's not about perfection — it's about consistency and surrender.

Key Takeaways:

• The difference between faith and feelings — and why both are powerful but not equal.
• How spiritual laziness shows up in our daily lives.
• Practical ways to cultivate spiritual discipline when motivation is low.
• Encouragement for those in a spiritually dry season.

Scripture Reference: 📖 Hebrews 11:6 – “And without faith it is impossible to please God...”

In Episode 3 of the 13:22 Life Podcast, Bri unpacks a topic many of us wrestle with—discipline vs. motivation. While motivation can spark action, it often fades. Discipline, however, is what sustains us through the dry seasons, busy days, and even the days we don’t feel like showing up.

If you’ve been relying on your feelings to get things done—or struggling because the “motivation” just isn’t there—this episode will give you a powerful mindset shift. Bri speaks from real-life experience as a woman juggling family, business, and faith, reminding us that God honors consistency, not just excitement.

What You'll Learn:

🔥 Why motivation is unreliable—but discipline is powerful

🔥 The faith-based reason we must commit even when it’s inconvenient

🔥 How to build discipline in your daily life (especially when you're overwhelmed)

🔥 Encouragement to keep going even when you don’t “feel it”

Scripture Anchor: Hebrews 11:6 – “And without faith it is impossible to please God...” 👆 This verse becomes a guiding light in how we approach showing up even when we’re not “in the mood.”
