Divine Shenanigans Podcast

Brynn

On Thursday of each week, we dive into God’s Word and figure out what it actually looks like in the wild—aka modern life. We talk about mindfulness, empathy, faith, failure, and finding joy even when everything feels like holy chaos. 

  1. Holy Interruptions: When God Ruins Your Plans

    4D AGO

    Holy Interruptions: When God Ruins Your Plans

    Send a text Have you ever had a perfectly good plan… and then God lovingly set it on fire? In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re talking about holy interruptions — the unexpected detours, closed doors, delays, and reroutes that feel frustrating in the moment but later reveal God’s protection, preparation, and deeper purpose. Because let’s be honest:  We love God’s will… as long as it matches our calendar. But what happens when: The relationship endsThe opportunity falls throughThe timing stretches longer than expectedThe direction changes completelyIs it punishment?  Did we miss something?  Or is God establishing steps we can’t see yet? In this sermon-style episode, Brynn unpacks: ✨ Why we hate interruptions (and what they reveal about control)  ✨ Proverbs 16:9 and how God establishes our steps  ✨ Personal stories of plans that fell apart — and why that turned out to be mercy  ✨ Biblical examples of holy detours (Joseph, Moses, Jonah, Paul — and even Jesus)  ✨ Practical ways to live faithfully inside uncertainty  ✨ How to grieve a cancelled plan without losing trust in God  ✨ Why the haze doesn’t mean you’re alone This week’s Song of the Week is “Held In The Haze” by Brynn Elise — a reminder that even when clarity is missing, God’s presence isn’t. If you’re in a season where your life looks nothing like you planned, this episode is for you. 🌿 Join the Divine Shenanigans Community Want to go deeper? 💛 Join the FREE Divine Shenanigans Skool community for: Daily devotionalsMorning & evening prayersJournal promptsEpisode discussion guidesReal conversations about real life struggles📩 Follow @DivineShenanigans on Substack for posts that don’t always make it into the episodes + sign up for the free monthly newsletter. 👥 Join the Divine Shenanigans Squad on Facebook for community and encouragement. 📻 You can also catch Divine More than a podcast — it’s a remembrance.Dive into the vibration that connects us all: Love.

    Worship Fails & Grace Wins – When Faith Is Messy but Grace Still Shows Up

    Send us a text Ever sang off-key in worship? Clapped on the wrong beat? Lifted the wrong hand during “this is how I fight my battles” and just committed anyway? 😅 In Episode 26 of Divine Shenanigans: Worship Fails & Grace Wins, we’re talking about awkward worship moments, quiet faith seasons, and the freeing truth that God sees the heart—not your rhythm.

  5. The Great Commission, Not the Great Suggestion

    JAN 15

    The Great Commission, Not the Great Suggestion

    Send us a text What if evangelism isn’t about being loud, bold, or fearless? In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re reframing the Great Commission for the shy, the awkward, the introverted, and the ones who love Jesus deeply—but don’t feel called to street-preach with a megaphone. If the idea of “sharing your faith” has ever made you freeze, overthink, or quietly hope someone else would handle it… this episode is for you. We talk about: Why evangelism used to terrify meHow Jesus still works powerfully through quiet faithWhat the Great Commission actually means (and what it doesn’t)Real community stories of everyday, relational evangelismWhy you don’t have to change your personality to follow JesusHow faithfulness often looks quieter than we expectThis episode reminds us that the Great Commission was never about volume, performance, or pressure—it was always about love, presence, and obedience. 🎵 Song of the Week: Carried By The Quiet – Brynn Elise Music A reflection on how God moves in stillness and carries us even when our faith feels gentle and unseen. Whether you’re an introvert, an overthinker, or someone who’s been afraid of “doing evangelism wrong,” this message will encourage you to stop striving—and start trusting that God uses exactly who you are. Because Jesus didn’t ask us to be impressive.  He asked us to follow Him. More than a podcast — it’s a remembrance.Dive into the vibration that connects us all: Love.

    Your Calling Isn’t on Airplane Mode | Hearing God When Life Feels Quiet

    Send us a text Your Calling Isn’t on Airplane Mode Have you ever wondered if you missed your calling? Maybe life got loud. Maybe you got tired. Maybe you were just trying to survive — and somewhere along the way, you started to wonder if God stopped calling… or if you stopped hearing Him. In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, Brynn Whited explores what it really means to hear God when life feels noisy, faith feels quiet, and purpose feels delayed. With Scripture, personal stories, gentle humor, and grace-filled truth, this episode is a reminder that God doesn’t hang up after one missed call — and your calling isn’t fragile enough to be ruined by exhaustion, waiting, or imperfect timing. Together, we talk about: Why God often speaks in whispers instead of alarmsHow “static seasons” don’t mean spiritual failureWhat Scripture teaches us about missed moments and mercyWhy stillness is not inactivity — and waiting is not being forgottenHow grace covers the learning curve of faithWhy God isn’t rushed… and you’re not lateThis episode is especially for you if: You feel behind in life or faithYou’re burned out, overwhelmed, or quietly doubting yourselfYou’re waiting on clarity and wondering if you did something wrongYou need reassurance that God hasn’t moved on from youYou’ll hear reflections from 1 Samuel 3, personal testimony from Brynn’s own quiet seasons, practical encouragement for listening to God without pressure, and prayers for anyone who feels disconnected, discouraged, or unsure of their next step. This is not a hustle sermon. This is not a “do more” message. This is a reminder that God is gentle, patient, and still calling your name — even now. ☕ Support the show: If this episode encourages you, you can help support Divine Shenanigans by fueling the ministry (and the caffeine) here: 👉 buymeacoffee.com/DivineShenanigans More than a podcast — it’s a remembrance.Dive into the vibration that connects us all: Love.
