In this episode, I sit down with my best friend Gissell, who you’ve heard from before, for one of our unfiltered yap sessions. No script, no plan, just two friends talking about the real and raw parts of walking with the Lord.

We cover it all: grief, backsliding, performance mindset, the struggle to believe God is good, His unshakable love, sin, grace, and so much more. It’s honest, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, but always rooted in our desire to keep chasing Him through it all.

If you need a conversation that feels like sitting with friends who get it, this one’s for you.

In Part 2 of this conversation with my dear friend and brother in Christ, Amanuel Gant, we go even deeper into what sanctification looks like in real time. We talk through the daily wrestle of the flesh and the Spirit, how God is constantly refining us, and how we can stay rooted even when we fall short. Amanuel opens up about some of the tougher seasons of his walk and how the Lord faithfully brought him through each one, not perfect, but progressing.

Sanctification isn’t an overnight process; it’s a lifelong walk with the Lord. And we’re just grateful to walk it together.

In this episode, Mackenzie talks with someone who’s like a brother to her, Amanuel Gantt. A trusted friend and constant encouragement in her walk with the Lord, Amanuel offers wisdom, honesty, and real-life perspective in this powerful conversation about sanctification, what it means, how it unfolds over time, and how to keep moving forward even when we fall.

They discuss the truth that we’re all works in progress. Amanuel shares his personal testimony and the ongoing process of being refined by God through trials, surrender, and obedience. They also have a raw and honest conversation about dating in today’s culture and what it looks like to pursue relationships in a way that honors God.

This episode is full of truth, grace, and encouragement for anyone learning to walk faithfully in a world that often pulls us in the opposite direction.

🎧 Listen in and remember: growth is a journey, and God is with us every step of the way.

In this episode, I sat down with my best friend, Ericka to have a much-needed conversation around faith, health, and fitness, a topic that doesn’t get talked about enough in the Church. 💪🏽🙏🏼

I knew she’d have encouragement, wisdom, and practical tips to share, and she delivered. 👏🏽

In today's episode, Mackenzie returns with a powerful word that’s been on her heart. In this episode, she shares what God’s been doing in her life and challenges listeners with a bold question: When the promise comes, will you run… or will you trust God and walk in?

Drawing from the story of the Israelites and their nearness to the Promised Land, Mackenzie encourages you to recognize when God is calling you forward — and to step into it with faith, not fear. The promise is here. It’s time.

Wow… we’ve made it to ONE YEAR of the Wonderfully Broken podcast — and what a journey it’s been. In today’s special anniversary episode, we’re taking a trip down memory lane and revisiting the conversations that have shaped this space. From healing and obedience to purpose, identity, and forgiveness — I’ve pulled some little nuggets from past episodes that reminded me just how faithful God has been through it all.

I’m so overwhelmed with gratitude for each and every one of you who has listened, shared, prayed, cried, or reached out along the way. Your love and support mean more than you’ll ever know. This podcast was never about perfection — it’s about Showing up. Trusting God. and Being real!!

With love,
Mackenzie 💛
