    Arbor Day, Acorn Trees, and Becoming Secure (feat. Jay Zbieszkowski)

    In this episode of the Created to Be podcast, Bethany, Justin, and Darius welcome special guest—MSU strength and conditioning assistant Jay Zbieszkowski—to talk about becoming secure. But before diving into the main topic, the conversation takes a fun detour into Arbor Day—trees, childhood memories, and plenty of laughs about planting trees (and occasionally forgetting where they ended up). What starts as lighthearted nostalgia quickly shifts into a deeper reflection on identity, pressure, and what it means to be truly secure. Together, they explore how security isn’t rooted in performance, approval, or circumstances, but in something steadier that doesn’t shift when life does. Through stories from sports, ministry, and everyday life, the conversation unpacks how real peace comes from knowing who you are—and who you belong to. It’s a mix of humor, honesty, and meaningful insight—moving from tree facts to truth that sticks. Leave Us a Comment! Send us your comments!

    Upgraded, March Madness, and Becoming Rooted

    In this episode of the Created to Be podcast, Bethany, Justin, and Darius are back together after a short break—Bethany’s recovery and a sound equipment upgrade included—and it feels good to be back. They kick things off with plenty of laughs, including Darius admitting he has no idea what pickleball is, before jumping into some of the biggest moments they missed during their time away—from the Olympics to March Madness—and even sharing a few fun facts about the winningest teams in the NCAA tournament through the year and Blue Bloods. The episode then shifts into a meaningful conversation about what it looks like to be rooted in Jesus and in community, sharing personal stories and practical examples that connect with athletes.

    Becoming Honest (feat. Maddy Anderson)

    In this episode of the Created to Be Podcast, we’re going to the vault—but with fresh perspective. Bethany reintroduces a powerful conversation on honesty and vulnerability, beginning with a current update from former Mississippi State soccer goalkeeper Maddy Anderson, now playing professionally in France. Maddy reflects on how vulnerability—with God and with others—has shaped her, deepened her relationships, and prepared her for life beyond college athletics.  If you’ve ever felt the tension between wanting to be known and being afraid to open up, this conversation will encourage you to just dive in.

    Mahjong, Softball Cheers, and Becoming Free (feat. Taylor Troutman)

    In this episode of the Created to Be Podcast, Bethany and Brandi are joined by Mississippi State softball player Taylor Troutman for a powerful and honest conversation about becoming free—on the field and in life. From lighthearted moments about Mahjong and softball cheering culture to deeper reflections on fear, injury, identity, and trust, Taylor shares her story of walking through sickness, a torn ACL, and learning how to play—and live—without fear. Together, we explore how freedom in Christ isn’t the absence of struggle, but the courage to trust God in the middle of it. Leave Us a Comment! Send us your comments!

    Formation, Awareness, and Becoming

    In this episode of the Created to Be Podcast, the team explores the question: Who or what is shaping you? Through honest stories of failure, disappointment, people-pleasing, loss of platform, and unmet expectations, the conversation unpacks how the process of formation in the life of the believer reveals what’s already inside us. Rather than avoiding discomfort, they discuss how God uses it to bring awareness, refine posture, and form us into who He’s already shaped us to be. This episode invites athletes and leaders alike to stop striving, start noticing, and trust the God who is faithful to complete His work. Leave Us a Comment! Send us your comments!

    Catching Up, 2026 = 2016, and FCA Semester Focus

    In this episode of the Created To Be Podcast, the gang is back kicking off a new semester of FCA by catching up and diving into the cultural conversation around “2026 is the new 2016.” As student-athletes and leaders navigate a fast, filtered, always-on world, Bethany, Justin, Darius, and Brandi, reflect on what life looked like before algorithms, constant connectivity, and performance-driven pressure. Through stories, laughter, and nostalgia, they talk about early social media, landlines, built-in boundaries, and why those limitations may have actually helped shape healthier relationships and deeper identity. From an FCA perspective, this conversation points us toward a bigger question: who are we becoming, and what is forming us? Leave Us a Comment! Send us your comments!
