Have you ever walked through trial after trial questioning how much more you can endure?
Have you ever doubted how in the world God would call you to something with your broken past lurking around every corner?
Have you ever just doubted God?
Well sis, this might be the podcast for you.
The Bible tells us that the storms of life are inevitable in this lifetime. I’ll dare to say that when you jump into the deep end with Jesus, that’s actually where the waters get rough. But the storm set out to drown you is the very storm that God will use to refine, chisel, and call you.
In the Chiseled and Called podcast, Brittany Dawn is authentically raw about her walk with the Lord as she shares past struggles, biggest failures, and current uphill battles. This is a space where all are welcome and no story is too far past the point of redemption.
Hey girl! I’m Brittany Dawn. A born and raised Texan, wife, foster mom, and founder of She Lives Freed. In 2019, I had a radical, unexplainable incomprehensible encounter with Jesus that would forever change my life. Since that night, no aspect of my life has looked the same.
Since that pivotal moment four years ago, I have walked through excruciating seasons of pruning. I’ve lost everything and everyone, I’ve navigated divorce, walked through the flames of cancel culture, faced hardship, and found myself broken amidst heartbreak. Yet through every high and low, I can confidently say that my constant has been Jesus. That my constant always will be Jesus. And I’m here to encourage you that at the end of it all, if all you have is Him, He is all you need.
I joke with friends that I skip the surface level talk and dive right in to the deep conversations over a cup of coffee… but truthfully, that’s what I’m here to do. And through it all, point your focus right back to the King.
Think of each episode as a big sister talk. I’m here through your worst day, tilting your chin up towards the King and reminding you that you can, in fact, continue on. I’m here to point you to scripture that speaks truth when your circumstances shout otherwise. I’m here to remind you that your past is not too broken and you’re not too far gone.

Wrestling in the Waiting Season with Ashley Hetherington
Hey girl: if you are struggling with waiting on His plan for your life... this episode is for you. Brittany Dawn and Ashley Hetherington discuss the topic of waiting on God's timing, the importance of surrendering to His plan, and finding joy in the waiting season. How there is purpose to be found within the waiting. In this conversation, Ashley and Brittany discuss the challenges that have come and the harsh reality and temptation to take matters into their own hands. If you're in a season of learning to walk blindly in faith, unsure of what lies ahead, you will find so much comfort in this episode.

My absolute favorite podcast guest is back today... my husband! We are diving into all things marriage, and some of these questions were a bit spicy. These Q&A episodes are so much fun for us, and we are grateful at the opportunity to share a little bit of what we've learned along the way. We love you all so much, thanks for stopping in!
If you guys haven’t heard by now, in the month of October I launched a new business called Hazel and Layne. Seeing what God has done so far… has absolutely blown my mind. If you don’t know what Hazel and Layne is, let me give you a twenty second cliff-notes version. In October 2022, I had a miscarriage that would forever change a lot of things in my life. But what happened next is something I never would have expected. In my most broken moment, the Lord birthed a beautiful new thing. Just daySupport the show

Customer Reviews
Yall need Jesus…
Thank you Brittney and Jorden for all that you talk about and are so open and honest. It is such an important thing now days to be honest with marriage and thoughts towards each other and what the Word of the Lord says on that. Yes they are both Christians who you can tell they deeply have a love for the Lord and each other. They have both been through so much and have chosen to continue to follow God and trust in Him. You have been an encouragement to me from listening to your podcast ❤️
To the people in the reviews…. In the New Testament when the woman was accused of adultery and the Pharisees brought ONLY the woman and not both of them (old testament said to stone both). Jesus wrote in the ground and asked them who had never sinned to throw the first stone. Hey guess what?! THEY ALL WERE SINNERS. So here you guys are trying to throw stones and put shame on other when you have also sinned yourself. NO ONE IN THIS WORLD IS PERFECT. The ONE who was died on a cross for you and CHOSE to forgive you. If Christ can forgive you then you should forgive others. The BIBLE ALSO SAYS, “forgive others and the Lord will also forgive you….”
God is fighting for This Family so if you are fighting against Gods Children know that you are fighting angst God Himself.
“If God is for us, who can be against us?”
So worth your time
Brittany & Jordan have poured out so much Godly wisdom in these podcast episodes. They open up and they talk about the hard things in life and it helps so many people for God’s glory.
Keep shining His light. Love what you’re doing for the Kingdom.

First off, it makes me so sad to see some of these comments.
If you are a follower of Christ and these are the things you are saying, it’s heart breaking because that’s not who we are called to be. And everyone’s testimony is just that, a testimony, a God refined story and everyone has one. I am personally someone who struggles with worry too much about what people think of me and it’s a constant prayer, from my heart to remember, know and trust that the only one I should be worried about is Christ.
Second, I feel so much rawness, realness, coming from this podcast. I can’t tell you how many I’ve listened to where I was like “yep, amen sister” “alright I needed to hear that” I wrote down so many little things that spoke to me. So thank you to brit herself and all the other people she’s brought onto her show. I’ve followed you for a long time and while I’m taking a year off social media, this is where I’ll come. You are a light in a dark work and I’m so grateful for your rawness and ability to be real and still give God the glory he deserves.
