Simply Put With Brit D.

Have you ever thought to yourself, "there is no way ______ will ever come around." Today we're going to look at what it means to believe life not only for ourselves but also those we love. 

Have you ever sat across the table from someone and thought, "why don't you care about what I care about!?" Then this episode is for you! On todays episode we're going to be diving into how we work together as one larger body.  Looking to join our e-family for the Christmas Study that's to come?

In Romans 11 Paul tells us, 'look guys, if you had to earn God's grace then it wouldn't be God's grace. It's free, undeserved, and totally up for grabs.' Today on Simply Put, we're going to look at God's grace and put into perspective the things that so easily entangle us. 

Earlier this week, I posed a question to my Social Media community and asked them why they so reluctantly talk about their faith. On today's episode we're going to talk about the top 4 answers that I got across the board and how to overcome them.

In seasons of oppression or when it feels like our back is up against a wall, it's easy to wonder why God is doing what He is doing. On today's episode - we're going to take a look at Romans 9: 17 when God tells Pharaoh that He is raising him up for a specific purpose. 

Today, we're going to look into Romans 8:18 when Paul basically says, "this suffering is worth it because I know what God can do." We'll talk about what it looks like the fight with prayer and praise. Also, how important it is to remain standing when you're set free. 

I wrestled over Episode #16. The Bible is filled with stories about miraculous healings, talking donkeys, and a sea splitting in two. That being said, I am never fond of spending airtime talking about the enemy. But a few weeks ago, a woman looked at me and said; "the devil is not creative. We have to be more aware of our attacks and the reality that whatever we're experiencing - has probably happened before." Her words pierced me and sent me on a massive search from Romans 7 to learn more about what the devil isn't. Here's what I found. he isn't omnipresent. he isn't creative. he isn't truth telling. he isn't our creator. Come hangout on Episode 16 and watch me fumble my way through trying to understand this stuff. Happy Sunday dudes.

This week on Simply Put, one of my friends Bri and I are going to throw it back to the things we have learned from the roads we've walked. Our prayer is that this episode would meet you where you're at, give you encouragement for what you're walking through, and bring new insight into the real battles behind seeking Christ with your whole heart. 

This week, we're going to be taking a break from Romans and diving into the story of David & Goliath. Whether you've heard this story 1,000 times or just once - there is always new revelation found within the text! Come dive into 1 Samuel 17 with us! 

On Episode #12 we're going to be digging into Romans 5:1-4 and looking specifically at the giving nature of God. On this episode, we'll talk about the way in which we tap into God's strength to rise.  . . Looking for weekly encouragement and to stay up to date on all things Simple?

Can we be honest for a few minutes? Many of us, if we're ugly honest, have spent our lives focused on the principle, "I believe in God because I want to go to Heaven." We've spent our lives so focused on making it to Heaven that we've bound ourselves up in a current hell. In Romans 4:3, we learn, "Abraham believed God" and I can't help but wonder, how much different would our lives be if we started believing God. If we started believing that He is good, He is for you, He is with you, and He loves you. 

Today, we're going to be taking a look at the parallels between Romans 3:3 and Number 20: 1-11. Answering one larger question; Is God faithful despite our disobedience?

remember the day so clearly to which my Aunt Sue commented on a picture of me from New Orleans. From the outside look in - it looked like adventure but she knew, from the inside looking out, it looked like being lost. She commented, “Hey girly! Worried about you - feels like there is always a drink in your hand. I hope you’re doing okay.” For a few days, I didn’t respond. Honestly, I. didn’t know how to respond. She was right; I was lost, lonely, with a well put together public image. Indeed, I was not okay.  Her words lingered in my spirit for weeks when I finally reached out to her and told her I wasn’t okay. After our conversation, I became more aware of my behavior but still found myself unable to change. Week after week she sent me encouragement, shared with me sunsets, and scripture to remind me of my purpose in Him.  It took me seven more months to come to the realization that the “wild and free” lifestyle I was living was really causing me to live bound in chains. What if, leading someone ba

In Romans 1:  11-12 Paul is talking to the church in Rome about this idea of being mutually encouraging AKA running the race set for YOU to run. On todays episode we're going to look at how hope, focus, and investment play into this spiritual gift. 

I messed up. I began looking at the race other women were running and deemed their strategy as mine. I started planning to launch two episodes a week. One episode on scripture and the other on implementation of that scripture. It sounds good, it sounds right, it sounds like hustle, it sounds beneficial except, it wasn't what God asked me to do.  Before Simply Put ever began God reaffirmed over and over again that it was not my job to give good advice but an honor to share God's wisdom. It was not my place to impart my strategy. It was only my place to embrace His sovereignty.  James 4:17 says, "If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them" through this verse I prayed for clarity. In His presence, I felt conviction.  From the outside looking in, maybe launching these types of episodes didn't look like a sin but from the inside looking out I knew - it wasn't what He had asked me to do. It's been five weeks since I've touched my microphone. Five weeks of

Over the last week and a half we've been studying the book of Mark. I got stuck in Mark chapter 5 when I began looking at the life of Legion. There is so much to learn about the way Jesus sees us when we are out of control.  Grab your own copy of 28 to Change here! https://www.voxchurch.org/Content/Documents/28toChangeBook.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1rJHVYWNJ-tQTxl3LjOcq9jvxVaXuH73dzFym8S22fEtFZEqeJzg8L5To

Over and over again, I have heard people tell me to "let my walls down". This idea, this phrase, says "what you've built is too high for others to get in." In the book of Nehemiah, we are introduced to a new way of thinking and we are shown a picture of what it looks like to rebuild walls that have been in ruins. 

This past January I woke up to a text from a friend that said, "honestly, I think God is tired of your excuses". I knew she was right and yet something about stepping forward in obedience to what He asked me to do was terrifying. This week, we are going to dive into the way in which Jesus steps forward in obedience and what we can learn from His order. 

Can I be honest with you guys for a minute? Sometimes, I kinda like the funk I am in. Sometimes, it's easier for me to stay where I am than it is to admit I need the healing power of God. In John chapter 5 we learned about a man who has been lying on a mat for 38 years! Jesus prompts this man to be healed, looks past his response, and commissions him to go forward and speak of Jesus's healing power. Join me today as we dive into this story, what prompts this healing, and what we can learn from the way this man responds. 

When I heard of the events at Sri Lanka, I felt as if God downloaded this specific word into my soul.  Join me in diving into Luke 21 & Psalm 37 as we navigate through one large question;  "If God is good then why do bad things keep happening?"
