    Does Hard Work Actually Beat Talent?

    You’ve heard it: “Work hard and you’ll succeed.” But what happens when you do — and still fall short? In this episode, we unpack the tension between talent, gifting, and hard work. What is more important for success? Is it a dangerous mindset to think your hard work is what got you success? Can you glorify God without being “successful”? We share our personal struggles with these questions and point back to the truth: your worth and identity is not based on your performance (and how you used your gifts/talent) but on what Jesus did on the cross.

    The Community We Dreamed Of (and found)

    What started as a dream and a standing invite to Taco Tuesdays turned into something more—real, life-giving community. In this episode, we share the story of how the "Barrymore Babes" came to be, what it means to truly be a friend, and why life without community is so much harder. We talk about the difference between having friends and being part of Biblical community, the time and intentionality it takes to build that, and how it’s changed each of us. Whether you're craving connection or figuring out what community could look like in your life, this conversation is for you.

    The Chaos of NIL & Search for Identity with Aaron Fears

    This week, the podcast gets a major upgrade as we sit down with the one and only Aaron Fears! We first met Aaron in college through his work with Athletes in Action, where he’s been on staff for over a decade. In this episode, we dive into the impact of NIL—how it’s changed the landscape of college sports, the pressure it adds, and the questions it raises. We also get into deeper conversations around identity, idolizing performance, and what it means to know Jesus beyond just head knowledge. Aaron shares incredible wisdom on moving from information to transformation, the beauty of being known by God, and why your worth isn’t found in what you do on the field or the pool.

    We Lost All Our Episodes & Life Post-Swimming

    This week, we’re talking about the chaos of losing all our recorded episodes—what happened and some of what we’ve learned since launching WashedUp. We also dive into life post-swimming, living in bondage vs life now, and reflecting on how much has changed in the last four years, from our workout routines to our overall life perspectives. Plus, we share what we’d tell our past selves during the transition out of competitive sports.

    What If ‘I Can Do All Things Through Christ’ Doesn’t Mean What You Think?

    What is theology, and why does it matter? You’ve probably heard the popular verse, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13)—but is it really saying what we think it is? In this episode, Kylee and Olivia dive into how pulling Bible verses out of context can actually distort your view of God and lead to some pretty harmful misconceptions.
