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.

Kanye West, Taylor Swift, and the Secular Music Industry with King Kat Part 2
Hey CC fam! You hear me talk about it all the time: our ears are a gateway to our soul. What we choose to listen to, the music we entertain and what we consume on a daily basis directly impact our life… whether we choose to believe that or not. I have been looking forward to today’s podcast on Chiseled and Called for quite some time, and we finally made it happen.
Today, King Kat and I are finishing up our conversation about Kanye West, Taylor Swift, and the secular music industry. We had far too much to unpack with just one episode, so this is part two.
I hope today encourages you to change your playlist and break up with worldly songs once and for all. Because speaking from experience, that was the best thing that I ever did.

From Witchcraft to On Fire for God with Tailah Scroggins
It’s safe to say that most of us have dabbled in either yoga, astrology, sage, horoscopes, or some other New Age ‘beliefs’ without even realizing the repercussions that could potentially come.
Tailah Scroggins opens up in today’s episode about her testimony from New Age to Christ – and all the encounters she had along the way. If you’ve ever questioned whether or not you could take part in both the world and Jesus: this episode is for you.

Q&A: Male Factor Infertility, Adoption and IUI, Embryo Adoption, and Thoughts on Posting Children on Social Media
My favorite co-host (aka my husband) is back today to do a Q&A with me and we are diving into all things fertility. You all asked us some incredible questions… and we are here to answer them. Everything from our thoughts on showing your kids on social media and how we plan to navigate that, to walking through IUI and adoption and our wild male factor infertility testimony! How God’s timing was utterly perfect with this.
You are not going to want to miss this episode as we unpack our honest, real, and raw thoughts on these things and share our heart on our journey to parenthood thus far. We know that God has a plan through it all, and trust His moving hand! Even when we don’t know what the outcome will be.

A Stripper Saved and Set on Fire for Jesus with Angelic Bondarenko
For the girl who’s dealing with societal pressures, body image struggles, and seeking validation from external sources: this episode is for you.
There's power and transformation through surrender to God's will for healing. My guest, Angelic Bonderenko, shares a powerful testimony of just that! From her past as a stripper to battling depression and anxiety, Angelic’s journey of transformation is inspiring.
It seems like there's been spiritual warfare on some of our biggest episodes, which means we're walking in the right direction! We've had some spiritual warfare with this episode–and this one is a biggie.

Customer Reviews
Saddened to leave this review
I have enjoyed Brittany’s content over the passed two years, but unfortunately I am choosing to unfollow now. Through their adoption journey they have chosen to use incredibly offensive terms such as “children of our own” and “failed adoption”, and calling a woman a “birth mother” before she signs relinquishment papers. To people actively in the adoption community (myself being an adoptee and writer for adoption.com), these terms are not okay. I have tried to reach out with my concerns, but my comments always get deleted. Jordan & Brittany seem unwilling to learn about adoption from people with real life experience, and this is concerning for any future children they welcome into their home. I truly believe their hearts are in the right place, but they seriously need some proper adoption training before going full steam ahead in the adoption process. I really hope this review comes across their radar, and they they earnestly seek wise counsel (proverbs 1:5) (adoptees, birth moms, and veteran adoptive parents). I have recommended the podcast “ADOPTION NOW” hosted by April Fallon, an adoptive mom x 4. “Who am I really?” Hosted by Damon Davis, adoptee and adoptive dad x 2, and “birth mothers amplified” hosted by two birth moms. I have also recommended they read “the primal wound” by Nancy Verrier, an adoptive mother. And that they seek out articles on adoption.com. For example an article I wrote from the perspective of an adoptee all grown up, “adoption language matters”. It’s all about how my adoptive parents used the CORRECT language when raising me, and how others used harmful terms that effected me negatively as a child. This gathered nest, a set of Christian parents who have adopted 6 children, are a fantastic resource on YouTube. As well as Phil & Alex Congelliere, another Christian family on YouTube who have adopted two girls. As someone who is employed for the purpose of educating hopeful adoptive families, I can no longer listen to their hurtful adoption language and not be heard when I speak. I pray God opens the eyes of Brittany and Jordan to all the many resources from the adoption triad, making their future adoption a healthy one for them, their future child, and that child’s biological mother.
Biblical & vulnerable deep talk & girl talk
Really enjoying getting to listen to Brittany, Jordan, and Brittany’s girlfriends talk through very tough topics that most would shy away from. Thank you for your Biblical approach and example set for girls and women like myself!
Children’s Consent
I’m unsure if you guys read these. I say this with the deepest respect and trying to allow just an alternate view. Old school does not mean having no empathy for the child jsut because you choose to bring them earthside. If you are working this hard to have a baby, don’t say “go get a job. Respect me under my rules. If I want to post your photo, get over your consent”. Maybe realize there is a different way with the advent of social media.
