  • You Don’t Need Another Vision Board, You Need to be Obedient
    2026/02/03
    We live in a culture obsessed with vision boards, goal-setting, and manifesting the next best version of ourselves. But what if God isn’t asking you to envision your future. What if He’s asking you to obey Him today? In this solo episode, Brittany shares what the Lord has been gently convicting her of in this season: that vision without obedience can quietly become control, and that following Jesus often looks far less aesthetic than we expect. From stepping away for a season of rest, to wrestling with comparison in ministry, to learning the beauty of quiet obedience, this episode is an invitation to lay down our plans and pick up our yes. Brittany opens up about hidden seasons, surrendering desires, and why God rarely gives us the full picture… but always gives us exactly what we need. If you’ve ever felt pressure to have it all mapped out, struggled with comparison, or found yourself asking God to bless plans He never authored, this episode is for you. You don’t need another vision board, you need to be obedient. In this episode, we talk about: why vision boards aren’t bad, but can be a form of control the danger of turning our relationship with God into something transactional how comparison in ministry can mute the voice God gave you why God often speaks in steps, not summaries the purpose of hidden seasons and private obedience choosing gratitude over future potential what it really means to surrender, die to self, and follow Jesus learning to say, “If not — God is still good” Connect with Brittany Dawn and the SLF Podcast: SLF Instagram: www.instagram.com/shelivesfreed Brittany’s Instagram: www.instagram.com/realbrittanydawn Learn more about your ad choices.

Tveen Verano shares her journey of walking through her son’s cancer diagnosis… not from a place of having it all figured out, but through surrender, grief, and steadfast faith.

In this episode, we talk about: what it means to grieve and yet still have hope how God meets us in the valley, not just on the mountaintop learning to anchor our hope in Christ rather than in outcomes wrestling honestly with fear, waiting, and unanswered prayers encouragement for anyone who is barely hanging on Whether you’re a mom walking through a diagnosis, someone facing unexpected hardship, or simply in a season where faith feels heavy: this episode is for you.

  • The Truth About Godly Marriage that Nobody Talks About
    2026/01/13
    What does it really look like to build a marriage that honors God — not with perfection, but through faithfulness? In today’s episode, I had the honor of hosting Chelsea Smith, author of I Do Today. It was a refreshingly honest, funny, and biblically grounded conversation about marriage, growth, intimacy, and keeping Christ at the center in a culture that pulls couples in every direction. With 25 years of marriage in her back pocket, Chelsea shares practical and life-giving advice that helps couples stop striving for an unrealistic “perfect marriage” and instead, commit to growing together — spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. In this episode, we talk about: how to anchor your marriage in Christ when culture says otherwise how respect and playfulness belong together in a godly marriage what surrender looks like when spouses feel pulled in different directions God’s design for intimacy — including sex — as something holy and life-giving navigating social media, comparison, and outside voices as a married couple Chelsea reminds us that the strongest marriages aren’t built on flawless behavior, but on daily faithfulness, intentional conversations, and choosing each other. And ultimately, keeping the Lord above each other. Whether you’re newly married, decades in, or praying for restoration, this conversation will encourage you to take one faithful step forward today.
