It’ll Always Be Fun with Brooke and Miranda

In a world that praises hustle and glorifies burnout, it can feel like rest is something we have to earn. But God never asked us to carry life on our own shoulders.

Our dear friend, Sarah Blankenship joins us for today’s Monday Minute, and she's talking about the truth that rest isn’t laziness—it’s obedience, trust, and wisdom. Rest is part of the work God is doing in us, because we were never meant to strive our way into peace.

✨ Scripture for the week: Psalm 127:2
“He gives rest to those he loves.”

If you’ve been running on empty, feeling guilty for slowing down, or trying to prove your worth through productivity… this one’s for you. Take a deep breath. God loves you, and you’re allowed to rest.

🎧 Press play, take one minute to reset, and let this truth settle your soul.

💛 When we’re together, it’ll always be fun!

What do you do when life doesn’t turn out the way you imagined—even when you’ve done the “right” things?

In part one of this conversation, we sit down with our dear friend Cayla Adkins—a mom of four, a special needs mom, a special education teacher, a basketball coach, and a woman who has walked through divorce and seen the faithfulness of God firsthand.

We talk honestly about the grief that can come when life takes unexpected turns, and the quiet reassurance of knowing that God is still present in it all. Cayla shares about trusting God in seasons that don’t look like the plan, learning to believe that He sees us, wants good things for us, and even wants us to enjoy life again.

This episode is especially for the overthinkers—the ones who replay conversations, question decisions, and wonder if they’re “too much.” We talk about how overthinking doesn’t annoy God, and how His presence remains steady even when our minds feel anything but.

If you’ve ever felt disappointed, confused, or quietly wondering if God is still with you—this conversation is for you.

Part two coming soon.

Waiting can feel uncomfortable—especially when we’re tempted to push, fix, or force outcomes just to ease the tension. In this Monday Minute, we talk about the difference between faithful waiting and anxious striving, and how trust sometimes looks like restraint.

Psalm 27:14 encourages us to wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Waiting isn’t passive or powerless—it’s an active choice to trust God’s timing over our urgency.

If you’re in a season where you want clarity, movement, or resolution, this is your reminder that you don’t have to force what God is still forming. Strength can look like patience, and faith can look like letting go.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of child loss. Please take care of your heart as you listen.

In Part Two with the incredible Miss Deb, we’re continuing the conversation on vision—and how to make it plain so you can actually live it out. From a powerful Steve Harvey story (yes… the “300 things list” 👀) to the kind of truth that hits you right in the chest, Miss Deb reminds us that God can stir fresh purpose in you at any stage of life.

In this episode, we talk about how these truths can coexist:
✨ You can be content and still want more
✨ As long as you have breath in your lungs, you still have purpose
✨ When you have vision, it’s never “just another day”
✨ And it’s never too late to start dreaming again

If you’ve felt stuck, numb, tired, or like life has become repetitive… this episode is a gentle but bold wake-up call: God still has something for you.

Spiritual growth isn’t only about what we believe—it’s also about how we remain present, calm, and grounded when life feels overwhelming. In this Monday Minute, we talk about how staying regulated isn’t weakness or avoidance; it’s deeply spiritual work.

Psalm 46:10 invites us to be still and know that I am God. That stillness isn’t passive—it’s an intentional practice of trust. Choosing to slow your breathing, steady your body, and quiet your mind can be an act of faith, especially in moments of stress, fear, or uncertainty.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for needing rest, calm, or space to regulate, this is your reminder: tending to your nervous system can be a way of honoring God. Peace isn’t just something we pray for—it’s something we practice.
