Ever feel like your faith journey could use a boost? Whether you've been walking with God for years or you're just starting to explore what faith means to you, host Brittany Durphey brings you unfiltered conversations about staying faithful when life throws its curveballs.
Let's be honest - living out your faith isn't always Instagram-perfect. Maybe you're dealing with complicated relationships, wrestling with questions that keep you up at night, or just trying to find the strength to put one foot in front of the other. We get it. The journey of bold faith can be challenging, but here's the good news: you don't have to walk it alone.
Every Wednesday, **Big Bold Faith** feels like sitting down with a good friend - the kind of conversation where you can let your guard down and be real. We explore practical ways to deepen your relationship with God, work through those nagging doubts, and develop quality habits that stick. Through stories, Kingdom principles, and real-talk about everyday struggles, we're planting seeds of faith that help you shine bright in God's Kingdom.
Join us as we dive into the questions you're actually asking, share practical steps that make a difference, and build a community where you can show up exactly as you are. Think of it as your weekly spiritual pep talk - grounded in Biblical wisdom, rich in diverse perspectives, and totally relatable to your everyday life.

You're Not Just Controlling People, You're Controlling God

I caught myself giving God deadlines in prayer. "Can you heal them in 24 hours?" Like I'm God's project manager or something. The audacity was real. In this episode, I'm getting uncomfortably honest about the subtle ways we try to control God, other people, and situations - all while thinking we're being "spiritual." From passive-aggressive Bible accountability questions to micromanaging other people's spiritual growth, it's time to call out the controlling behaviors that are actually pushing people away from faith.
WHAT YOU'll LEARN
- Why asking "Did you pray today?" might be more controlling than caring
- The shocking difference between spiritual discipline and spiritual guilt
- How to spot when you're trying to play God in other people's lives
- Why people are walking away from church (and it's not what you think)
- The truth about fasting for breakthrough vs. fasting for show
- How to surrender control without becoming passive
- 3 ways to check your motives before "helping" someone spiritually
When we try to control God's timeline and other people's spiritual journey, we're actually playing God without His permission. True faith means trusting His process, His timing, and His methods - even when they don't match our expectations or schedules.
What's ONE way you've tried to control God's timeline or someone else's spiritual growth? Be honest in the comments - no judgment, just growth! 👇
