At Broken To Build, we believe the authenticity of our stories is not only what connects us, but oftentimes, those broken pieces can be a beautiful part of our journey that equip us to do what God has destined for us in the future. People don’t need more “perky Christianity”; we need something real and authentic. Together we embrace the tension of our brokenness while living in the hope of a greater plan. Our goal is to let Christianity influence culture beyond the church walls, creating a safe place to be real.

    Ep. 29 - From Bar Fights to Bible Studies

    In this episode of Broken To Build, host Lauryn DeLoach sits down with Brian Morgan (husband, dad, and nonprofit ministry leader with See Jesus) for a raw, honest conversation about identity, faith, loneliness, marriage, and emotional courage. Brian shares how a college nickname—“Boxer Brian”—covered deep insecurity, how a hungover walk into a small church and a patient mentor named Kenny changed his life, and why seasons of loneliness can be God’s protective hiddenness. We get practical about marriage (differences, mentors, and learning to pray together), and we go deep on men and emotion—including why Jesus wept and how crying can actually fuel purpose. If you’ve ever felt alone in a crowd, stuck in old habits, or scared to be vulnerable with the people you love, this one’s for you.

    Ep. 28 - Psalm 23 In Real Life

    In this heartfelt episode of Broken To Build, host Lauryn DeLoach sits down with Helen Morrison, the 5th-generation female founder of Frownies—a family brand born in 1889 that’s become a beloved, non-invasive alternative to Botox. Helen opens up about marriage in the aviation world (208 days a year apart), new-mom loneliness, and the dark season that nearly broke everything…until a COVID “pause” brought her husband home and changed the trajectory of their family. What followed: a bold move to Texas, obedience over comfort, and a social-led explosion that took Frownies viral and 10×’d the business—while restoring their marriage from “our worst thing” to “our best thing.” If you’re navigating transition, identity, or calling, this conversation is a masterclass in faith, sacrifice, and building community-first brands that actually help people.

From sold TV deals that God “blocked” to a three-day family move, this is a masterclass in surrender, courage, and practical faith.

    Ep. 25 - Seasons of Friendship, Boundaries & Grace

    On this spontaneous girls’ weekend episode of Broken To Build, Lauren DeLoach sits down with Charity, Brooke, Danielle—and a cameo from Phoenix—to talk about friendship that actually builds you. From the Mark 2 story of “carrier-mat” friends to the covenant bond of David & Jonathan, and the heartbreak of Peter denying Jesus, we unpack how to choose wisely, set healthy boundaries, forgive deeply, and recognize that friends can be for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Expect Scripture, real stories, and practical takeaways: be the friend you want to have, allow iron to sharpen iron (sparks and all), and remember—Jesus isn’t seasonal. He’s the forever Friend who meets you in loneliness and leads you as you build the extraordinary life you’re created to live.
