    What Are You Giving Up? | Lent Without Performance

    Send a text So… what are you giving up for Lent? Chocolate? Social media? Your last ounce of patience? In this Lent kickoff episode of Divine Shenanigans, Brynn Whited unpacks what Lent actually is—and what it absolutely is not. Spoiler alert: it’s not a spiritual diet plan, a 40-day personality detox, or a holiness competition. With humor, honesty, and deeply grounding truth, Brynn explores: • Why Lent isn’t about performance (Matthew 6:16–18)  • What “Return to Me with all your heart” really means (Joel 2:12)  • The difference between giving something up and making room  • Fasting from habits that numb us (doom scrolling, comparison, perfectionism)  • How to add something holy instead of just subtracting sugar You’ll hear a personal story about the year Brynn gave up sugar and just became angrier (because apparently deprivation without devotion is not sanctification). Plus, community responses to what people are actually giving up this year—and a powerful reframe that might change how you approach the entire season. This episode includes: ✨ A practical Lent reset  ✨ “Holy Homework” to help you discern what God wants to remove—or restore  ✨ The Lent season song Hungry for Holy by Brynn Elise (played at the end of the episode) If you’re tired of religious pressure and ready for honest faith for real life, this episode will help you approach Lent with intention, intimacy, and a little holy humor. Because if we’re going to be hungry anyway… let’s hunger for holy.

  2. When Obedience Feels Inconvenient: Faith Talk

    When Obedience Feels Inconvenient: Faith Talk

    Send a text Episode 30: When Obedience Feels Inconvenient Divine Shenanigans with Brynn Whited Obedience sounds spiritual… until it messes with your comfort. In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re talking about the kind of “yes” that disrupts your schedule, humbles your pride, and interrupts your perfectly curated plans. The kind of obedience that doesn’t come with applause, clarity, or a five-step guarantee. We dive into: ✨ Why obedience often feels uncomfortable  ✨ How fear disguises itself as “waiting for peace”  ✨ Real-life community stories of everyday courage  ✨ Biblical moments when God asked for a yes that hurt  ✨ Practical ways to practice obedience without spiraling From Abraham leaving everything familiar… to Jonah running the opposite direction… to Mary saying yes when it could’ve cost her reputation—Scripture reminds us that obedience has always required trust before explanation. And friend, if you’ve been delaying a yes because it feels inconvenient, this episode is for you. We also introduce this week’s Song of the Week: “Beneath The Dust” — a reminder that God meets us right in the messy, imperfect, obedience-in-progress places. The full version of the song plays at the end of the episode, so stick around. Obedience isn’t about being impressive.  It’s about being available. Let’s say yes—even when it’s inconvenient.

  3. Holy Interruptions: When God Ruins Your Plans

    Holy Interruptions: When God Ruins Your Plans

    Send a text Have you ever had a perfectly good plan… and then God lovingly set it on fire? In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re talking about holy interruptions — the unexpected detours, closed doors, delays, and reroutes that feel frustrating in the moment but later reveal God’s protection, preparation, and deeper purpose. Because let’s be honest:  We love God’s will… as long as it matches our calendar. But what happens when: The relationship endsThe opportunity falls throughThe timing stretches longer than expectedThe direction changes completelyIs it punishment?  Did we miss something?  Or is God establishing steps we can’t see yet? In this sermon-style episode, Brynn unpacks: ✨ Why we hate interruptions (and what they reveal about control)  ✨ Proverbs 16:9 and how God establishes our steps  ✨ Personal stories of plans that fell apart — and why that turned out to be mercy  ✨ Biblical examples of holy detours (Joseph, Moses, Jonah, Paul — and even Jesus)  ✨ Practical ways to live faithfully inside uncertainty  ✨ How to grieve a cancelled plan without losing trust in God  ✨ Why the haze doesn’t mean you’re alone This week’s Song of the Week is “Held In The Haze” by Brynn Elise — a reminder that even when clarity is missing, God’s presence isn’t. If you’re in a season where your life looks nothing like you planned, this episode is for you. 🌿 Join the Divine Shenanigans Community Want to go deeper? 💛 Join the FREE Divine Shenanigans Skool community for: Daily devotionalsMorning & evening prayersJournal promptsEpisode discussion guidesReal conversations about real life struggles📩 Follow @DivineShenanigans on Substack for posts that don’t always make it into the episodes + sign up for the free monthly newsletter. 👥 Join the Divine Shenanigans Squad on Facebook for community and encouragement. 📻 You can also catch Divine Shenanigans on the FaithPoints Broadcasting Network every Thursday at 10 AM & 2 PM EST.

Lifted the wrong hand during “this is how I fight my battles” and just committed anyway? 😅 In Episode 26 of Divine Shenanigans: Worship Fails & Grace Wins, we’re talking about awkward worship moments, quiet faith seasons, and the freeing truth that God sees the heart—not your rhythm.

  7. The Great Commission, Not the Great Suggestion

    JAN 15

    The Great Commission, Not the Great Suggestion

    Send a text What if evangelism isn’t about being loud, bold, or fearless? In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re reframing the Great Commission for the shy, the awkward, the introverted, and the ones who love Jesus deeply—but don’t feel called to street-preach with a megaphone. If the idea of “sharing your faith” has ever made you freeze, overthink, or quietly hope someone else would handle it… this episode is for you. We talk about: Why evangelism used to terrify meHow Jesus still works powerfully through quiet faithWhat the Great Commission actually means (and what it doesn’t)Real community stories of everyday, relational evangelismWhy you don’t have to change your personality to follow JesusHow faithfulness often looks quieter than we expectThis episode reminds us that the Great Commission was never about volume, performance, or pressure—it was always about love, presence, and obedience. 🎵 Song of the Week: Carried By The Quiet – Brynn Elise Music A reflection on how God moves in stillness and carries us even when our faith feels gentle and unseen. Whether you’re an introvert, an overthinker, or someone who’s been afraid of “doing evangelism wrong,” this message will encourage you to stop striving—and start trusting that God uses exactly who you are. Because Jesus didn’t ask us to be impressive.  He asked us to follow Him.

    Your Calling Isn’t on Airplane Mode | Hearing God When Life Feels Quiet

    Send a text Your Calling Isn’t on Airplane Mode Have you ever wondered if you missed your calling? Maybe life got loud. Maybe you got tired. Maybe you were just trying to survive — and somewhere along the way, you started to wonder if God stopped calling… or if you stopped hearing Him. In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, Brynn Whited explores what it really means to hear God when life feels noisy, faith feels quiet, and purpose feels delayed. With Scripture, personal stories, gentle humor, and grace-filled truth, this episode is a reminder that God doesn’t hang up after one missed call — and your calling isn’t fragile enough to be ruined by exhaustion, waiting, or imperfect timing. Together, we talk about: Why God often speaks in whispers instead of alarmsHow “static seasons” don’t mean spiritual failureWhat Scripture teaches us about missed moments and mercyWhy stillness is not inactivity — and waiting is not being forgottenHow grace covers the learning curve of faithWhy God isn’t rushed… and you’re not lateThis episode is especially for you if: You feel behind in life or faithYou’re burned out, overwhelmed, or quietly doubting yourselfYou’re waiting on clarity and wondering if you did something wrongYou need reassurance that God hasn’t moved on from youYou’ll hear reflections from 1 Samuel 3, personal testimony from Brynn’s own quiet seasons, practical encouragement for listening to God without pressure, and prayers for anyone who feels disconnected, discouraged, or unsure of their next step. This is not a hustle sermon. This is not a “do more” message. This is a reminder that God is gentle, patient, and still calling your name — even now. ☕ Support the show: If this episode encourages you, you can help support Divine Shenanigans by fueling the ministry (and the caffeine) here: 👉 buymeacoffee.com/DivineShenanigans Your support helps keep this space honest, faith-filled, and freely available. 📻 Listen & Connect: New episodes of Divine Shenanigans air weekly and are available on radio, podcast platforms, and online.
