    39. How Do We Love Like Jesus?

    In this episode of Step Into Bold Faith, Whitney talks about spreading the kind of love that is rooted, intentional, and transformational. In a world that feels divided, reactive, and easily offended, Jesus models something different.  And the more we stay connected to Him, the more that kind of love begins to shape how we treat people, how we respond in hard moments, and how we show up in our relationships. We also talk about why real love starts with being rooted in God, and why we can't pour out what we are not first receiving from Him. If You’ve Been Asking Questions Like: How do I love people well even when they are difficult?What does Jesus-style love actually look like in real life?How do I respond with grace instead of reacting emotionally?What does the Bible really say about love?How do I become more patient and kind?How do I build stronger, faith-centered relationships?How can I reflect Jesus in my daily life?Then this episode is for you! Here's how you can continue to grow closer to God & walk with Jesus: 1.

    37. Honoring the Sabbath and Keeping Sundays Holy

    In this episode of Step Into Bold Faith, Whitney shares about honoring the Sabbath and why Sundays were never meant to feel rushed, chaotic, or filled with pressure to “get things done.” Whitney opens up about her own realization that although she believed in rest, she wasn’t truly practicing it. Through Scripture, prayer, and intentional change, she began to see the Sabbath not as another rule, but as a gift from God. This episode is an invitation to slow down, unplug, and rediscover Sundays as a holy day, a time for worship, rest, connection, and spiritual renewal.  If you’ve been asking questions like: Why do I still feel tired even when I have a “day off”?How do I slow down without feeling guilty?What does God actually want Sundays to look like?Why does rest feel so hard in this season of life?How can honoring the Sabbath bring more peace into my week?Then this episode is for you!

    36. Living for God Instead of the World

    In this episode of Step Into Bold Faith, Whitney shares a heartfelt conversation about what it actually looks like to live for God in a world that constantly pulls us in the opposite direction.

If you’ve been asking questions like: Why do I love God but still feel anxious or unfulfilled?How do I stop living for approval, comfort, or success defined by the world?What does it actually look like to live for God in everyday life?Why do I feel spiritually scattered even though I have faith?How do I realign my priorities and truly put God first?Then this episode is for you!
