🎙️ EPISODE 9: “The Struggle is Real: Living Out Your Faith in 2025” How to stay grounded in faith when everything feels urgent, digital, and exhausting.

This week, we’re tackling what it means to walk with God when your calendar is chaotic, your group chat is on fire, and your spirit feels worn thin. Dr. Malesia Britt, Dr. Daniel Britt, and Brittany Armstrong get real about what it means to follow Jesus in an always-on, hustle-driven, scroll-heavy culture.

We ask: 📲 How do we protect our peace in a world that never turns off? 🛑 What does it look like to set holy boundaries when everything feels like a priority? 🕊️ Can rest be resistance—and worship? 💻 Where is God in the mundane: the dishes, the emails, the commutes?

📖 Scripture Anchor: Romans 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”

💡 Segments include: The Cypher – Hustle culture vs. holy rest, redefining purpose, and unlearning spiritualized overworking Church Chronicles – “Boundaries or Burnout?” game + group chat-level real talk on rest, peace, and saying “no” Faith in Motion – From burnout to balance: practical ways to keep God in the center amid chaos Ask the Cypher – A listener asks: “Is balance even real anymore—or just a myth?” The Benediction – A reminder that transformation is real—and you don’t have to earn God’s peace

🎙️ EPISODE 8: “Faith and Mental Health: Breaking the Stigma” How faith and psychology can work together for healing, emotional well-being, and breaking generational cycles

This week, we’re getting real about something the church doesn’t always talk about—mental health. Dr. Malesia Britt, Dr. Daniel Britt, and Brittany Armstrong dig into the silent struggle many believers face when it comes to anxiety, depression, trauma, and therapy.

We ask: 🧠 Why has the church—especially in Black communities—struggled to make space for mental health? 📿 What does real, integrated healing look like—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually? 🙏🏾 Can therapy and faith coexist? (Spoiler: Yes, and it’s holy.)

📖 Scripture Anchor: 3 John 1:2 “I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.”

💡 Segments include:

• The Cypher – Breaking silence, naming pain, and reimagining healing as holy
• Church Chronicles – “Pastor or Therapist?” game + a comedic crash course in pew-side psychology
• Faith in Motion – Practical rhythms for emotional resilience and sacred self-care
• Ask the Cypher – A listener asks: “How do I know it’s time to get help beyond prayer?”
• The Benediction – A blessing for every weary soul still fighting to feel whole

🎙️ EPISODE 7: “Sundays at Grandma’s: Church Culture 101” A nostalgic and insightful look at the traditions, wisdom, and sacred memories passed down through generations of Black church life.

This week, we’re going back—way back—to those folding chairs in the fellowship hall, the sounds of old-school choirs, and the healing that happened over sweet tea and side-eyes. Dr. Malesia Britt, Dr. Daniel Britt, and Brittany Armstrong reflect on what we inherited, what we’re reimagining, and how we pass down a faith that’s alive, embodied, and rooted in love.

🔹 What did Big Mama’s faith get right? 🔹 What traditions still hold power—and which ones need to evolve? 🔹 How do we disciple in a fast-moving world?

We explore Psalm 145:4 — “One generation will commend your works to another…” — and unpack how to carry the fire without getting stuck in the form.

💡 Segments Include: The Cypher – Legacy, discipleship, and the sacred tension between tradition and transformation Church Chronicles – Grandma-isms, church auntie energy, and the wisdom passed down in slippers Faith in Motion – From hymns to trap gospel, journaling to storytelling—we explore how generational faith shows up in real life Ask the Cypher – A listener asks: “What do I do when I feel disconnected from the church I grew up in?” The Benediction – A blessing for the baton pass, for every heart carrying the fire forward

🎧 Whether you were raised in pews or just learning the rhythm, this one will make you laugh, cry, and maybe call your grandma. Because her ceiling should be our floor—and it’s time to build higher.
