In this episode of Your Kingdom Besties, Ty and Ari talk about the difference between growing up around God and actually giving Him your life. Ty shares what it looked like to be raised in church, know the language, know the routines — and still reach a point where she had to make a real, personal decision to submit to Christ for herself. This isn’t a dramatic “before and after,” but an honest look at how faith became real, intentional, and rooted in relationship rather than habit. If you’ve ever felt like church was familiar but God still felt distant, this one is for you.

The Bestie Break is our recurring, off-script series where we set a timer and talk through whatever’s on our hearts—no notes, no agenda, just honest conversation. In this episode, we reflect on trusting God’s timing, navigating different expressions of worship, and what we’re learning as we start this podcast in real time. It’s thoughtful, unfiltered, and very much in progress—just two besties processing faith and life out loud.

Hey Bestie! We’re so glad you’re here. Thank you for being part of our journey with Your Kingdom Besties— a safe space for believers and curious hearts to grow, heal, and laugh together in Christ.
