    Episode #51: Peace or Comfort? Learning to Know the Difference

    Just because something feels comfortable doesn’t mean it brings peace. And just because something is uncomfortable doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path. In Episode 51 of Y’all... Listen Here, Barbie Bassett and Therese Apel sit down with Amanda Johansson to explore the difference between peace and comfort, and why confusing the two can keep us from following where God is leading. Comfort often tells us to stay where things are familiar, predictable, and safe. Peace can exist even when life feels uncertain, difficult, or completely outside our control. Sometimes the decision that brings the deepest peace is also the one that requires the most courage. Together, Barbie, Therese, and Amanda talk about discerning between the desire to avoid discomfort and the genuine peace that comes from trusting God. They explore what it looks like to move forward in faith when circumstances are messy, the outcome isn’t guaranteed, and the easier choice is to stay exactly where you are. Because God’s peace isn’t always found in the absence of difficulty. Sometimes it’s found right in the middle of it. Join us for Episode 51 of Y’all... Listen Here: Peace or Comfort?

    Episode #50: The Idol No One Talks About: Comfort

    What if one of the biggest things standing between you and the life God is calling you to isn’t fear, failure, or even temptation, but comfort? In Episode 50 of Y’all... Listen Here, Barbie Bassett and Therese Apel sit down with Amanda Johansson for a powerful conversation about the idol no one talks about: comfort. Comfort isn’t inherently bad. We all want security, stability, and a life that feels manageable. But what happens when protecting our comfort becomes more important than following God? When we avoid the difficult conversation, resist the uncomfortable calling, stay where we’ve outgrown, or choose what feels safe over what requires faith? Amanda, Barbie, and Therese unpack the subtle ways comfort can take control of our decisions and keep us from stepping into growth, obedience, and purpose. They explore the difference between receiving God’s comfort and making personal comfort the goal of our lives. This conversation challenges a question worth asking: Have we become so committed to being comfortable that we’re unwilling to be inconvenienced by what God is asking us to do? Sometimes faith requires stepping away from what is familiar, safe, and easy. And sometimes the very thing we’re desperately trying to protect is the thing keeping us from becoming who God is calling us to be. Join us for Episode 50 of Y’all... Listen Here: The Idol No One Talks About: Comfort. Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

    Episode #49 Faith or Culture?: Are You Following Jesus or Just the Crowd?, Part 2

    The conversation continues. In Part 2, Barbie Bassett, Traci Lee, and special guest Gary Maze dive deeper into one of the most important questions every believer should ask: Is my faith anchored in Jesus Christ, or have I confused Christian culture with authentic discipleship? Together, they discuss why this distinction has eternal significance, how cultural Christianity can create a false sense of security, and what Scripture teaches about truly knowing Christ. This episode is a thoughtful challenge to examine your heart, strengthen your faith, and pursue a genuine relationship with the Savior rather than simply following religious traditions. If you’ve ever wondered what authentic faith really looks like, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

    Episode #48 - I Never Knew You: The Most Sobering Words in Scripture, Part 1

    What if one of the most familiar passages in the Bible is also one of the most misunderstood? In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Barbie Bassett and Traci Lee are joined by special guest Gary Maze, filling in for Therese, to unpack Jesus’ chilling warning: “I never knew you.” Together, they explore the difference between knowing about Jesus and truly knowing Him. Is your faith built on a genuine relationship with Christ, or has it quietly become rooted in Christian culture, traditions, or appearances? This honest conversation invites listeners to examine the foundation of their faith and consider what it really means to follow Jesus.   Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

    Episode #47: When God Takes Away

    If God is good and wants good things for us, why does it sometimes feel like He’s subtracting from our lives? Barbie Bassett, Therese Apel, and Traci Lee explore seasons of loss, change, and letting go—and how God may use what He removes to protect us, prepare us, and make room for something deeper. If you’ve ever struggled to trust God when life feels like it’s shrinking, this honest conversation is for you. Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

    Episode #45: Healthy Boundaries, Stronger Faith, Why Saying “No” Can Honor God

    Setting boundaries isn’t unloving, it’s often an act of faithful stewardship. In Episode 45 of Y’all… Listen Here, Barbie Bassett, Therese Apel, and Traci Lee tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in Christian life: boundaries. Does following Christ mean always saying “yes”? Is protecting your peace selfish? How do you love others well without allowing yourself to be repeatedly hurt or taken advantage of? Through an honest, faith-centered conversation, the hosts explore the difference between grace and enabling, forgiveness and reconciliation, and compassion and unhealthy self-sacrifice. They discuss why healthy boundaries are not barriers to love, but tools that help us steward the relationships, responsibilities, and lives God has entrusted to us. Whether you’re struggling with difficult family dynamics, friendships, workplace relationships, or learning to say “no” without guilt, this episode offers biblical encouragement and practical wisdom to help you walk in love while honoring the healthy boundaries God calls us to establish. Join Barbie, Therese, and Traci for a conversation that reminds us that protecting your God-given purpose is not unloving, it’s wise stewardship.

    Episode 46: Growth Never Ends, Becoming the Person You’re Meant to Be

    Does personal growth have an expiration date, or are we meant to keep becoming throughout every season of life? In Episode 46 of Y’all… Listen Here, Barbie Bassett, Traci Lee, and Therese explore what it truly means to continue growing as an adult. While we often associate self-discovery with our teenage years or the beginning of our careers, life’s greatest lessons often come much later. Through honest conversation, the hosts discuss how our experiences, relationships, setbacks, faith, and purpose continue to shape who we are, no matter our age. Whether you’re navigating a career change, raising a family, rediscovering yourself after hardship, or simply wondering what comes next, this episode is a reminder that growth is not limited by age. Becoming is a lifelong journey. This episode is proudly sponsored by the BrickFolio Podcast.
