🎙️ Be About a Great Work – Stay Focused on Your Calling

When you’re building something for God, distractions will come — whether it’s shade from people you love, unexpected opposition, or just the temptation to quit. In this episode of the 13:22 Life Podcast, we’re diving into the story of Nehemiah — a man who was so focused on doing God's work, he literally told his enemies, “I’m doing a great work, and I cannot come down.”

🎙️ Releasing Control – Letting God Lead When You Want to Do It All

If you’ve ever felt like you have to be the one to do it all — this episode is for you.

In Episode 7 of the 13:22 Life Podcast, I’m talking about what it really looks like to release control and trust God with every part of your life — your business, your schedule, your finances, your health, your outcomes. I'm sharing the tension I’ve felt between faith and works, s...

Let’s be real — sometimes we know exactly what God told us to do… and we still don’t want to do it. That’s why Jonah’s story hit me hard. I’ve been wrestling with obedience, struggling to get back into my discipline, and honestly throwing a little grown-up temper tantrum along the way.

In this episode, I’m sharing my honest journey — from ignoring 5AM wake-up calls to realizing that delayed obedience is still disobedience. We’ll loo...

In Episode 5 of the 13:22 Life Podcast, Bri introduces a lifestyle that every believer striving to walk in God’s purpose must embrace: L.O.T — Listen, Obey, and Trust.

We often say we trust God, but what does that look like in real life when things don’t make sense, when doors close, or when He asks you to take a leap with no clear landing? This episode dives into the importance of hearing God’s voice, following His instructions, an...

In this episode of the 13:22 Life Podcast, we dive deep into a struggle many believers face but rarely talk about: spiritual laziness. We all have moments when we don’t feel like praying, reading, or showing up for God — but what happens when we let our feelings take the lead?

Bri shares real-life reflections on how to push past emotional and spiritual fatigue and why discipline in your faith walk matters more than ever. It's not ab...

In Episode 3 of the 13:22 Life Podcast, Bri unpacks a topic many of us wrestle with—discipline vs. motivation. While motivation can spark action, it often fades. Discipline, however, is what sustains us through the dry seasons, busy days, and even the days we don’t feel like showing up.

If you’ve been relying on your feelings to get things done—or struggling because the “motivation” just isn’t there—this episode will give you a powe...

In this episode of the 13:22 Life Podcast, we unpack the deeper meaning of Hebrews 11:6 — “Without faith it is impossible to please God.”

This isn’t just about mountain-moving miracles. It's about trusting God in the everyday moments — when you're waiting, when you're struggling, and when it would be easier to take shortcuts.

Join me as I share:

• What it really means to please God
• Why discipline is a form of faith
• The story of Ruth a...
