    You Might Be Outgrowing Shallow Faith If…

    What if feeling stuck in your faith is actually a sign you’re growing? What even is spiritual maturity? Is it knowing more, doing more… or becoming more? In this quick, honest conversation, Brooke shares how she realized she was outgrowing the shallow end of her faith and the subtle shifts that pointed her toward something deeper. If surface-level faith isn’t cutting it anymore, this episode will help you understand why and what to do next. Listen in!

    Come To The Deep End With Me

    I woke up thinking about shallow faith and what it means when God starts calling us deeper. From old songs to familiar Scriptures, everything keeps pointing back to water, trust, and surrender. We weren’t meant to stay in the shallow end too long.  REFERENCES “Dive” By Steven Curtis Chapman Genesis 1:2 — Spirit over the waters Genesis 6–9 — Noah and the flood Exodus 14 — God parting the Red Sea Joshua 3 — As they step in, the Jordan River parts Psalm 139:5 — hemmed in, held Isaiah 43:2 — the waters won’t overwhelm you Matthew 14:22–33 — Peter walks on water Mark 4:35–41 — Jesus calmed the storm Revelation 4:6 — waters become like glass Revelation 22:1–2 — a river of life JOIN BROOKE ON SUBSTACK ⁠https://substack.com/@brookewiegand⁠ MONTHLY HONEST QUESTIONS NOTEBOOK https://brookewiegand.substack.com/p/honest-questions-notebook-april HONEST QUESTIONS ARCHIVE ⁠https://brookewiegand.substack.com/archive⁠ Connect with Brooke:  ⁠https://www.brookewiegand.com⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠ Podcast Cover Photography: Hello Jude Photography

    More Than A Pinky Promise

    If the door is already open… why do we still stand outside?Last week, we talked about the access we have to the Father through Jesus. The veil is torn, and we’re invited in. So in this episode, we’re taking a step back to remember how we got here. Together, we’ll walk through the five major covenants from Genesis to Jesus and trace the thread of God’s faithfulness. Think of it like a pinky promise, but so much deeper. God’s promises are sure. He means what He says, and He always follows through. As you listen, my prayer is that your trust in Him grows. We’re not on the outside anymore. We can stop striving. We can rest in what Jesus has finished, and step fully into the life God has already opened up. You’re invited. Let’s step in together. REFERENCES: 🌱 The First Promise (Protoevangelium)Genesis 3:15 🌈 Noahic Covenant (God’s promise to preserve)Genesis 6–9Genesis 9:8–17 ⭐ Abrahamic Covenant (promise of people, land, and blessing)Genesis 12:1–3; 15, 17 📜 Mosaic Covenant (the Law and God’s holy standard)Exodus 19–20, 24Deuteronomy 5 👑 Davidic Covenant (promise of an eternal King)2 Samuel 7:8–16Psalm 89 ✝️ New Covenant (fulfilled in Jesus)Jeremiah 31:31–34Luke 22:19–20Hebrews 8 For every one of God’s promises is “Yes” in him. Therefore, through him we also say “Amen” to the glory of God.  2 Corinthians 1:20 CSB JOIN BROOKE ON SUBSTACK ⁠https://substack.com/@brookewiegand⁠ MONTHLY HONEST QUESTIONS NOTEBOOK https://brookewiegand.substack.com/p/honest-questions-notebook-april HONEST QUESTIONS ARCHIVE ⁠https://brookewiegand.substack.com/archive⁠ Connect with Brooke:  ⁠https://www.brookewiegand.com⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠ Podcast Cover Photography: Hello Jude Photography

    More to Holy Week

    It’s Holy Week. You’ve heard the story, but what if there’s more? In this episode, we’re talking about the wild access Jesus has already given us. We can let go of the old striving, stop standing at the door, and step all the way into the presence and purpose God has for us. What are we waiting for? Let’s go after the more our hearts were made for.

    The Grass Is Greener Here

    Let’s be real. Even when life feels pretty good, there’s still that pressure to do more or be more. What if the freedom we’re searching for starts by recognizing what we already have in Christ? In this episode, we’re asking: What do we truly have access to because of Jesus? Let’s stop striving and start living from the fullness He’s already given. The grass isn’t greener somewhere else. In Him, it’s already greener right here.

    Stop Chasing. Start Tending.

    This month, we’re exploring how to step into more of the life God has for us by stewarding what He’s already placed in our hands. In this episode, we talk about the tension between striving for the next milestone and being faithful with what’s right in front of us.

    Formed By The Word

    The Bible is God-breathed, alive, and still shaping us today. In this episode, we reflect on how Scripture forms our hearts, trains our minds, and equips us for the life God has called us to. Let’s take a moment to be formed by the Word.

    Let The Word Do Its Work

    I’ve known the Bible is living and active, but there’s more. In Hebrews 4:12, we actually find five powerful descriptions. Listen in to see what happens when you let God’s Word really go to work in your life. LISTENERS WILL REMEMBER: + The Bible is described as living, active, sharp, piercing, and discerning. + God's Word brings transformation, not condemnation or shame. + Even uncomfortable truths in Scripture are meant for healing and growth.
