    #41 | The Three T's, Being Bully, and Secrets (feat. Spiffy)

    In this episode of the Created to Be podcast, Darius and Bethany invite Andric Knott (aka “Spiffy”) to the podcast to set the record straight on what it takes to be a mascot at an SEC school. Bethany pulls receipts from a conversation she, Darius, and Justin had back in Episode 3 about whether or not mascots are athletes—and invites Spiffy to give the inside scoop on what it really takes to be Bully. The conversation covers mascot tryouts, training camp, secret identities, terrifying children, Spirit Squad life, the Bully cart, weddings, free concessions, and why being a mascot might be a lot more athletic—and demanding—than you ever realized.

    #40 | What Does Your Life Reveal About What (or Who) You Worship? (feat. Shayla Pierce)

    In this episode of the Created to Be podcast, Bethany and Brandi are joined by Shayla Pierce to continue the conversation about worship—not just as something we sing, but as a lifestyle and a choice. Shay shares part of her own journey with Jesus as they explore what it looks like to represent Christ through the way we live, what we prioritize, and what we look to for fulfillment and sustenance. The conversation takes a deeper turn: How does something good become an idol? Athletics, relationships, family, success, ministry, social media, recognition—even things God has given us as blessings—can slowly become things we depend on to sustain us. Through the story of the golden calf, the struggle of waiting on God, and the connection between control, attachment, and contentment, they unpack some of the subtle clues that reveal when something may be taking the place of God in our lives. Ultimately, this is a conversation about recognizing what has our hearts, being willing to admit where we’ve become attached, and discovering the freedom that comes when we can enjoy God’s gifts without allowing them to control or sustain us.  Leave Us a Comment!

    #39 | What Is Worship—and Is Yours Sustaining You? (feat. Jeremiah Pierce)

    In this episode of the Created to Be podcast, Bethany and Brandi are joined by Jeremiah Pierce for a conversation about what worship actually means—and why it is so much more than a song. Jeremiah breaks down the difference between praise and worship, including the idea that praise can be about what God has done while worship is about who He is. The conversation also explores how different denominations and church traditions express worship, from contemporary worship music to hymns, silence, liturgy, sacraments, and everything in between. But the conversation eventually moves beyond the church service. If worship is about giving something the right to influence us, what are we worshiping every day? Our sport? Our relationships? Our success? Our reputation? And what happens when the things we worship inevitably fail us? So the question isn't whether you're worshiping. The question is: What are you worshiping?

    #38 | To Believe: What Does It Actually Mean?

    In this episode of the Created to Be podcast, Darius, Brandi, and Bethany continue their conversation around “What Matters” and take a deeper look at the word "believe." They explore the difference between superstition and biblical belief, the human desire for control, and what it means to trust Jesus rather than trying to create a desired outcome through our own efforts. Questions discussed in this episode include: If we are saved from sin and death and saved to life, what does it actually look like to live from that reality? Are we practicing spiritual disciplines because we are trying to be saved—or because we are already saved? And what happens when belief moves beyond simply knowing something is true to actually trusting and relying on God? Along the way, they talk about performance, works, gratitude, spiritual disciplines, God’s character, seasons of growth, and learning to trust Him with both the big things and the little details of everyday life. Scriptures Discussed in this episode: John 20:31, Romans 4:3, Acts 4:12 Resource Link Mentioned in this Episode: Word Study: Believe Leave Us a Comment! Send us your comments!

    #37 | Saved From. Saved To. Saved Through.

    In this episode of the Created to Be podcast, Bethany, Justin, and Darius continue the conversation around FCA’s semester theme, “What Matters,” by diving into the topic of salvation. Coming from different church backgrounds and traditions, the conversation explores how different denominations and ministries communicate the gospel—from the Romans Road and the Four Spiritual Laws to FCA’s own gospel presentation. But underneath the different methods, they ask a simple question: What are we actually saved from, what are we saved to, and who are we saved through?

    #36 | What Matters. What Matters? What Matters!

    In this episode of the Created to Be podcast, Bethany, Justin, and Brandi kick off a new semester of content and introduce this year’s FCA theme at Mississippi State: "What Matters." Together, they explore the difference between what feels urgent and what is actually important, the challenge of deciding what deserves our time and attention, and how the things we prioritize shape who we are becoming. From the “big rocks” of life to the questions we all have to wrestle with for ourselves, this conversation is about learning to build our lives around what will last. This semester, we’re asking the questions: What matters most? What matters in life? What matters to God? And what matters when life gets hard? Because formation is always happening. If we don’t intentionally consider what matters, something—or someone else—will decide for us. Mentioned in this episode: 3D Institute Leave Us a Comment! Send us your comments!

    #35 | Winning Hearts and Building Teams (feat. Coach Jeff Terrill)

    In this episode of the Created to Be podcast, Bethany, Darius, and Brandi sit down with Coach Jeff Terrill, who brings 36 years of football coaching experience and 11 years with FCA, to talk about what he has learned about building teams and leading people. They hear stories from Coach Terrill's coaching career about quiet and vocal leaders, recruiting for team fit instead of simply recruiting talent, and why consistency is one of the best tools a leader has. They also dive into the harder side of leadership: setting standards, establishing boundaries, holding people accountable, and resisting the urge to rescue people from every difficult experience.  It's a conversation full of stories, wisdom, and practical insight for coaches, athletes, parents, and anyone who wants to become a better leader.

    #34 | From Me to We: Personality Tests and the Five Dysfunctions of a Team

    In this episode of the Created to Be podcast, Bethany, Justin, and Darius explore what it takes to move from me to we—both as individuals and as members of a team. The conversation starts with personality tests, including the Enneagram, DISC, Myers-Briggs, Working Genius, and the Big Five. But instead of simply talking about what personality type we are, they explore what we actually do with that knowledge. How can understanding ourselves and the people around us help us navigate conflict, communicate better, extend grace, and become more self-aware? Drawing from experiences in athletics, ministry, leadership, marriage, and parenting, Bethany, Justin, and Darius wrestle with what it means to take personal responsibility, stop looking for shortcuts, challenge one another, and make excellence everyone's responsibility.
