    Eps 68: Is Social Media Replacing the Local Church? | Whitney Pierson Lowe

    Are we becoming more connected to Christian content but less connected to the local church? Social media has given us unprecedented access to sermons, Bible teachers, Christian influencers, and faith-based conversations. But has that access unintentionally changed the way we view the church, spiritual community, and our need to be personally known and cared for? Can consuming Christian content ever replace being connected to a local church? In this episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra Lebbie sits down with Whitney Pierson Lowe for an honest, thought-provoking conversation about the impact of social media on Christianity, the local church, and our spiritual growth. Together, we explore how social media can shape our expectations of church, influence the voices we trust, and affect our willingness to participate in the biblical community God designed for believers. We also unpack Romans 8:31, which reminds us, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" What does it mean to rest in God's faithfulness while learning to receive the care, encouragement, and support available through the body of Christ? In this conversation, we discuss: How social media is influencing the modern church The difference between consuming Christian content and participating in Christian community Why the local church matters for spiritual growth and discipleship How online Christian culture can shape our expectations of church The importance of being personally known, supported, and cared for by other believers Why online teaching cannot fully replace relationships within the body of Christ Learning to navigate disappointment and imperfect church communities What Romans 8:31 teaches us about God's faithfulness How to develop a healthier relationship with social media and Christian content Why biblical community is essential when navigating hardship You can listen to sermons every day, follow incredible Bible teachers, and consume hours of Christian content—and still miss the beauty of being known and cared for within the local church. God never intended for us to navigate the Christian life in isolation. While social media can be a valuable tool for encouragement and biblical teaching, it cannot fully replace the relationships, accountability, discipleship, and care we experience through genuine Christian community. If you've been struggling with church hurt, finding a church community, feeling disconnected from the local church, navigating Christian social media, or understanding the importance of biblical fellowship, this conversation is for you. #WhitneyPiersonLowe #LocalChurch #ChristianCommunity #SocialMediaAndChristianity #ChurchCommunity #ChristianInfluencers #ChurchHurt #BiblicalCommunity #Romans831 #ChristianDiscipleship #ChristianWomen #ChristianPodcast #SpiritualGrowth #KeptPodcast

    Eps 67: Who Are You Really? How to Find Your Identity in Christ, Not Your Circumstances

    If everything you use to define yourself changed tomorrow, would you still know who you are? Our identity can quietly become attached to our relationships, accomplishments, roles, appearance, success, failures, or even the difficult things we've experienced. And when hardship disrupts those things, it can leave us wondering, “Who am I now?” In this episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra Lebbie explores what the Bible teaches about identity in Christ and why knowing who you belong to changes the way you see yourself. Your circumstances may change. Your roles may change. People's opinions of you may change. You may even walk through seasons that make you question everything you thought you knew about yourself. But what God says about you has not changed. As a believer, your deepest identity isn't something you have to create, achieve, or prove. Your identity begins with belonging to God. You are His—and from that place of belonging comes security, acceptance, purpose, and the freedom to stop allowing temporary things to define you. In this episode, we'll talk about: What it really means to find your identity in Christ Why belonging to God is foundational to your identity How hardship can expose where we've placed our identity Breaking free from labels placed on you by yourself or others Why your mistakes and failures don't get to define you How comparison can distort the way you see yourself The difference between receiving your identity and striving to create one Living from God's acceptance instead of performing for it How knowing who you are in Christ changes the way you navigate difficult seasons Learning to live from what God says is true about you You are more than what happened to you. You are more than what you've accomplished. You are more than the roles you carry. And you are more than the labels other people have placed on you. Before you understand who you are, you have to understand whose you are. If you've been struggling with insecurity, comparison, people-pleasing, rejection, shame, feeling lost, or questioning your identity after a difficult season, this conversation is for you. 🎧 Subscribe to Kept Podcast for biblical conversations that help women navigate hardship with God, remain rooted in Christ, and grow in spiritual maturity. 📖 MADE ALIVE WITH CHRIST DEVOTIONAL This conversation accompanies Week 5: Identity of the Made Alive with Christ devotional.

    Eps 66: How to Find Strength in Christ When Life Gets Hard | Portia Collins

    “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” But what does Philippians 4:13 actually mean? Philippians 4:13 is one of the most quoted verses in the Bible—but its context reveals something much deeper than the promise that we can accomplish anything we set our minds to. In this episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra Lebbie sits down with Portia Collins to unpack Philippians 4:13 in context and talk about the strength Christ provides when we are navigating hardship. In this conversation, we discuss: What Philippians 4:13 means in context Why “I can do all things” isn't simply a promise about accomplishing our goals Finding strength in Christ during hardship What Paul teaches us about contentment in difficult circumstances Depending on Christ when your own strength isn't enough How to remain faithful when circumstances don't change The difference between self-sufficiency and Christ-sufficiency Learning to endure both seasons of abundance and seasons of need How hardship can deepen our dependence on Jesus

    Eps 65: How to Process Your Emotions With God (Without Letting Them Control You)

    Your emotions are real—but they were never meant to have the final word. What do you do when you know God's truth, but your feelings tell you something completely different? Fear says something bad is going to happen. Disappointment tells you God has forgotten you. Anger tells you to react. Anxiety tells you to take control. And sadness can make it difficult to see beyond what you're experiencing right now. In this episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra Lebbie explores what it means to have renewed feelings and how Christians can process their emotions without allowing those emotions to become their leaders. Following Jesus doesn't require you to ignore, suppress, or pretend away difficult emotions. God created us with the capacity to feel deeply. But there is a difference between feeling an emotion and allowing that emotion to determine what you believe, how you respond, and what you believe about God. Together, we'll look at how to bring our emotions honestly before God, examine the beliefs underneath them, anchor ourselves in biblical truth, and allow the Holy Spirit to shape our response. In this episode, we talk about: How to process difficult emotions with God Why your feelings are real but aren't always telling you the truth The difference between experiencing an emotion and being led by it How hardship can intensify fear, anger, sadness, disappointment, and anxiety Identifying the beliefs underneath your emotional responses Bringing your feelings to God instead of suppressing them Allowing God's truth to lead when your feelings say otherwise Developing emotional maturity as a Christian Responding to emotions from your identity in Christ God isn't asking you to stop feeling. He's inviting you to bring what you feel under the leadership of His truth. If you've been struggling with overwhelming emotions, anxiety, fear, anger, disappointment, emotional exhaustion, or trusting God during a difficult season, this episode is for you. 🎧 Subscribe to Kept Podcast for biblical conversations that help women navigate hardship with God, remain rooted in Christ, and grow in spiritual maturity. 📖 MADE ALIVE WITH CHRIST DEVOTIONAL This conversation accompanies Week 4: Renewed Feelings of the Made Alive with Christ devotional.

    Eps 64: How to Find Peace After Sudden Loss | Brittany Price Booker

    How do you experience the peace of God when your life has suddenly been changed by loss? In this deeply personal episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra Lebbie sits down with Brittany Price Booker for an honest conversation about navigating sudden, tragic loss and discovering that the peace Jesus offers is not dependent on our circumstances. Beginning with John 14:27, we explore Jesus' words: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives." What does that kind of peace actually look like when you're grieving, hurting, and trying to trust God in a reality you never wanted? Brittany shares from her own journey as we unpack the difference between worldly peace and the peace of God. The world often defines peace as the absence of trouble, but Jesus offers us something far greater: His very presence in the middle of it. Because ultimately, peace isn't just something Jesus gives us—peace is a Person, and His name is Jesus. In this conversation, we discuss: Finding peace with God in the midst of sudden and tragic loss What Jesus means in John 14:27 The difference between worldly peace and the peace Christ offers Why peace doesn't require the absence of pain Learning to trust God when life doesn't make sense What it means for Jesus Himself to be our peace Making room to receive God's peace while grieving Releasing the pressure to manufacture peace for ourselves Trusting God's presence when our circumstances remain difficult If you're walking through grief, loss, heartbreak, uncertainty, or a season that has completely changed the life you thought you would have, this conversation is for you. You don't have to create peace for yourself. You are invited to draw near to the One who is your peace. 🎧 Subscribe to Kept Podcast for honest, biblical conversations that help women navigate hardship with God, remain rooted in Christ, and grow in spiritual maturity. ✨ CONNECT WITH BRITTANY PRICE BOOKER Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brittanypricebrooker/ Website/Resources: https://www.brittanypricebrooker.com/resources SCRIPTURES DISCUSSED: John 14:27 Ephesians 2:14 #BrittanyPriceBooker #PeaceOfGod #PeaceInGrief #ChristianGrief #TrustingGod #GriefAndLoss #SuddenLoss #John1427 #JesusIsOurPeace #FindingPeace #FaithInHardTimes #ChristianWomen #ChristianPodcast #KeptPodcast #MadeAliveWithChrist

    Eps 63: How to Surrender Control and Trust God When You Don’t Understand His Plan

    What if surrender isn't losing control—but finally trusting the One who was always meant to have it? When life becomes uncertain, our natural response is often to take matters into our own hands. We plan, overthink, control, protect ourselves, and try to create the outcomes we desperately want. But the Christian life was never meant to be lived through self-reliance. In this episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra Lebbie talks about what it means to surrender your will to God, especially when His way is different from yours. Because you have been made alive with Christ, you are no longer limited to navigating life through your own wisdom, strength, and understanding. You have the freedom to trust God's leadership, submit your desires to Him, and obey—even when you don't know where your obedience will lead. Surrender isn't passive. And it doesn't mean you stop having desires, making decisions, or taking action. It means your desires and decisions are increasingly submitted to the authority and wisdom of God. 📖 MADE ALIVE WITH CHRIST DEVOTIONAL This conversation accompanies Week 3: The Will of the Made Alive with Christ devotional.

    Eps 62: When God's Goodness Doesn't Look Like You Expected | Sarah Benibo

    Can God still be good when life doesn't feel good? In this conversation with worship leader Sarah Benibo, we explore one of the hardest questions Christians face during seasons of suffering: What does it really mean to trust God's goodness when His plans don't match our expectations? We discuss why God—not our circumstances—gets to define what is truly good, and how learning to surrender our expectations opens the door to deeper peace and greater intimacy with Him. We also talk about the beautiful paradoxes of the Christian life: grieving while rejoicing, waiting while hoping, and experiencing God's kingdom now while longing for the fullness that is still to come. Rather than trying to resolve the tension, we discover how God uses it to mature our faith and anchor our hope. If you're wrestling with disappointment, unanswered prayers, or wondering how God's goodness fits into your story, this conversation will encourage you to trust Him even when you don't yet understand His ways.

    Eps 61: How to Renew Your Mind With God’s |Truth Breaking Negative Thought Patterns

    Your thoughts may be real, but that doesn’t mean they’re true. What happens when fear, overthinking, negative thoughts, and the weight of hardship begin to consume your mind? As believers, we are not powerless against the thoughts that compete with the truth of God. In this episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra Lebbie talks about what it practically looks like to renew your mind with God’s Word and develop thought patterns that reflect your new life in Christ. Romans 12:2 tells us that we are transformed by the renewing of our minds. Because you have been made alive with Christ, you no longer have to allow fear, lies, painful experiences, or your circumstances to determine what you believe. Through the Holy Spirit and the truth of Scripture, you can learn to recognize unhealthy thought patterns, reject lies, and intentionally fix your mind on what is true. In this episode, we talk about: -What it really means to renew your mind -How hardship can distort your perspective -Recognizing negative and unhealthy thought patterns -Why every thought doesn't deserve your agreement -Identifying lies and replacing them with biblical truth -What it means to take your thoughts captive -Using Scripture to reshape the way you think -Learning to fix your mind on God during difficult seasons -Why renewing your mind requires daily dependence on God You may not be able to control every thought that enters your mind, but you don't have to give every thought permission to stay. Because of Christ, your mind is no longer a place where you are powerless. You can bring your thoughts under the authority of God's truth and allow Him to transform the way you think. If you're struggling with overthinking, fear, negative thoughts, anxiety, discouragement, or keeping your mind focused on God during hardship, this episode is for you. 📖 MADE ALIVE WITH CHRIST DEVOTIONAL This conversation accompanies Week 2: The Mind of the Made Alive with Christ devotional.
