    When Love Costs: Biblical, Actionable Faith in a Distracted World

    What does REAL love actually look like? In today’s world, love has become a word people throw around loosely — but Jesus showed us that Biblical love is rooted in ACTION, sacrifice, forgiveness, patience, and obedience to God. In this episode of Day One Disciple, we talk about: Love in action Loving people through difficult seasons Forgiveness and emotional healing Why the church must love better How stress and suffering can affect the way we love The example Jesus gave us through His life Why authentic love is missing in today’s world This is a raw and honest conversation about faith, relationships, pain, sacrifice, and learning to love like Christ even when life feels heavy. Scriptures Referenced: 1 John 3:18 Romans 5:8 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Luke 10:25-37 John 13:35 John 15:13 Ephesians 4:32 John 14:15 If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who may need it today.

    When Doubt Silences You: Finding Faith in the Midst of Trial

    This episode is coming from a real place. Sometimes life hits all at once—fear, uncertainty, pain—and you’re still expected to keep going. In this conversation, I share what God has been showing me about abundance in the middle of hard seasons. We walk through Luke 1 and unpack the difference between Zechariah’s doubt and Mary’s surrender—and how our response to God can either silence us or position us for what He’s calling us into. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, forgotten, or alone… this is for you. You’re not alone. God hasn’t forgotten you. And this season still has purpose.

    Steward Your Temple: Faith, Food, and the Black Church

    We pray for abundance… but ignore the vessel God gave us to carry it. Our bodies. Growing up, I saw what happens when we don’t steward our health well— heart disease, diabetes, burnout… even in the church. And nobody really talked about it. But the truth is… discipline isn’t just spiritual. It’s physical too. If we’re called to be stewards, that means everything God gave us matters— our minds, our habits, and yes… our bodies. In this episode of the Abundance Series, I’m breaking down how discipline, health, and obedience are all connected—and why you can’t fully walk in abundance while neglecting yourself. This one is honest. This one is personal. And this one might challenge you. 🔗 WATCH, CONNECT & GROW ✨ Grab my digital products + resources: 👉 https://stan.store/britaneyshanel 📲 Follow me for daily encouragement & real-life faith: Instagram: https://instagram.com/britaneyshanel TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@britaneyshanel

    The Idol Christians Don’t Realize They’re Worshipping (It’s Not What You Think)

    There’s an idol that many Christians struggle with… and most don’t even realize it. It’s not money. It’s not relationships. It’s not success. It’s control. In this episode of Day One Disciple, we’re talking about how our need to control everything can quietly take God’s place in our lives — and what true surrender actually looks like. If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or like you have to figure everything out on your own… this message is for you. Faith isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about trusting the One who does. — 📲 Follow me for more faith + real life: Instagram: https://instagram.com/britaneyshanel_ TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@britaneyshanel_ ✨ Resources, courses & more: https://stan.store/BritaneyShanel — #ChristianPodcast #FaithOverFear #TrustGod #SurrenderToGod #ChristianWomen #JesusFirst #GodsPlan #WalkByFaith #DayOneDisciple

    “When God Lets Everything Fall Apart: The Story of Hosea and Choosing Flesh Over Faith”

    Have you ever felt like God allowed everything in your life to fall apart? In this episode, we dive into the powerful story of Hosea and how it reflects our real lives today. So many times we choose our flesh over God — chasing relationships, validation, money, comfort, and things that were never meant to fulfill us. But the story of Hosea reveals something deeper about God's character. Sometimes God removes the very things we idolize not to punish us… but to redirect us back to Him. When doors close. When relationships end. When the plans we thought would fulfill us fall apart. It may actually be God protecting us from a path that would have destroyed us. The story of Hosea reminds us that even when we are unfaithful, God remains faithful. He redeems. He restores. He calls us back. If you’ve ever felt like your life was falling apart, this episode may help you understand why God sometimes allows things to be stripped away.
