Hosted by Baylee Hefley and Kate Caris, Walking Defined is a podcast about discovering what it means to live a life fully shaped by God. Through honest conversation, prayer, scripture, and shared testimony, Baylee and Kate explore how faith touches every part of daily life—marriage, motherhood, friendship, identity, and the quiet moments with God in between. What began as a weekly 6 a.m. prayer partnership has grown into a space where women can be encouraged to draw near to the Lord, find community, and be reminded of His presence in both the ordinary and the extraordinary. Each episode points back to the truth of God’s Word—“In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths” (Proverbs 3:6). With reverence, vulnerability, and joy, Baylee and Kate invite you to walk defined not by the world, but by the One who calls you His own.

    Biblical Parenting vs. Gentle Parenting | Are We Raising Kids to Obey God?

    Are we raising children to follow their feelings, or training them to obey the Lord? In this episode of Walking Defined, we’re unpacking one of the most controversial conversations in Christian culture today: parenting. The world tells parents that discipline is harmful, obedience is outdated, and children should be led by their emotions. But what does the Bible actually say? We talk about: Biblical discipline and why obedience mattersThe difference between loving correction and harsh parentingWhy gentle parenting can become a feelings-first approachHow parents can prepare children to obey God later in lifeWhy doing the hard work now matters for who your children becomeThe importance of a unified marriage in parentingWhy your job is not to make your child happy, but to raise them wellHow culture is shaping children before parents realize itThis conversation is direct, countercultural, and rooted in the belief that Scripture is still true, still applicable, and still the standard for how we live. If you’re a Christian mom feeling confused, convicted, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, this episode is for you. We are not claiming to parent perfectly. We are learning, wrestling, repenting, and growing too. But we believe parents have been entrusted with a sacred responsibility, and culture cannot be the loudest voice shaping our children.

    Yoga, Horoscopes, & Superstitions: What Should Christians Avoid?

    What if it’s not just what you say… but what you’re participating in? In this episode of Walking Defined, Kate and Baylee continue their conversation on superstitions—but this time, they go deeper. This isn’t just about phrases like “knock on wood” or “fingers crossed.” This is about actions, habits, and practices that have become normalized… even within the Christian life. From everyday sayings to things like yoga, meditation, horoscopes, and “energy” practices, this conversation challenges one central question: Does intention matter… or does participation? This episode unpacks: The spiritual implications behind common phrases like jinx, third time’s a charm, and fingers crossedWhy “good intentions” don’t remove spiritual participationThe origin and influence of astrology and horoscopesThe difference between biblical meditation and modern meditationA deep dive into yoga—its origins, meaning, and spiritual implicationsWhy “neutral” spiritual practices don’t actually existConviction vs. legalism (and how to navigate both biblically)The importance of obedience once you know the truthThis is not about fear. This is not about perfection. It’s about becoming aware, responding to conviction, and choosing obedience in your walk with God. Because once you know… you’re no longer operating in ignorance.

    Does Your Story Really Start With You? | God’s Plan, Generational Impact & Identity in Christ with Stephanie Bischoff

    What if the parts of your story you try to forget… are actually where God was moving the most? Stephanie didn’t grow up knowing God. No church. No gospel. Just broken relationships, anger, and a life that didn’t feel stable. Then one weekend, everything changed. In this episode, she shares what it actually looked like to hear the gospel for the first time and what happened when it collided with everything she thought was normal. We get into: What it’s like to meet Jesus when you’ve never heard the truth before How generational sin patterns show up in real life Why following Jesus doesn’t instantly fix your old habits The tension of trying to live in the light when you only know darkness How God uses pain to prepare you, not punish you What real redemption in a mother-daughter relationship can look like Why being made in God’s image matters more than you think If you’ve ever wrestled with: Where God was in your past Why your upbringing still affects you Whether change is actually possible You’ll see yourself in this one. God doesn’t wait for your life to be clean. He steps into it. And He doesn’t just change your future. He redeems what came before it.

    Are You Living for Jesus… or Your Comfort? | The Truth About Evangelism

    In this episode of Walking Defined, we’re diving into one of the most uncomfortable—but essential—parts of the Christian life: evangelism. If we’re honest, most of us avoid sharing the gospel. Not because we don’t believe it… but because we’re afraid. Afraid of rejection. Afraid of saying the wrong thing. Afraid of stepping outside of our comfort. But what if our silence is costing someone their eternity? We talk about: Why so many Christians don’t share their faithThe fear of man vs. obedience to GodWhy you will never feel “ready” to speak upThe difference between planting seeds and seeing resultsWhy recognizing sin is essential to understanding the gospelHow to approach evangelism with both truth and graceWhat it looks like to share your faith with family and friendsPractical ways to start having intentional conversationsThis conversation is convicting for us too. Because at the end of the day, the question isn’t just how to evangelize… It’s whether we’re willing to obey when God calls us to speak.

    Lukewarm Faith & the Power of Your Words | Cursing, Superstitions, and Gossip

    What comes out of your mouth is not random—it is a reflection of what is in your heart. In this episode, we talk about the power of the tongue and how our everyday speech can reveal deeper issues of conviction, compromise, and spiritual awareness. From casually using the Lord’s name in vain to gossip, exaggeration, and empty phrases we don’t think twice about, this conversation challenges us to slow down and examine what our words are actually producing. This is not about becoming polished or perfect. It is about becoming aware. Because scripture is clear: the tongue is powerful, and what flows out of us is rooted in what is within us. In this episode, we discuss: Why the tongue is one of the hardest things to controlWhat it actually means to use the Lord’s name in vainHow culture normalizes careless and empty speechThe connection between your words and your heartGossip, exaggeration, and “harmless” languageConviction vs. desensitization in everyday conversationWhat it looks like to bring your speech under the lordship of JesusScripture Referenced: James 3 Exodus 20:7 Leviticus 19:12 Deuteronomy 5:11 James 5:12 Ephesians 4:29 Luke 6:45 Matthew 12:34 Romans 6:1–2 Connect With Us: Instagram: @walkingdefined YouTube: Walking Defined Podcast Email: walkingdefinedpodcast@gmail.com
