Real talk. Raw stories. No filters. 🎙️
Faith | Love | Hustle | Failures
We celebrate wins, own our flaws & laugh at life in between.
Pull up a chair—you’ll feel right at home. 💜💖💜💖
Cristal and Therisa open in prayer and discuss giving yourself “permission to breathe” by slowing down, resting, and being gentle with yourself instead of constantly moving from goal to goal without celebrating progress. Using workout examples, they explain how pacing, breathing, and rest make the process effective, and connect breath to life and God’s daily mercies. They talk about allowing yourself to feel emotions, resetting and regrouping during heavy situations, and breaking negative habits through intentional, consistent choices rather than perfection, including taking personal responsibility alongside prayer. They share fasting mistakes to illustrate learning, consequences, and grace, encourage scheduling joy and celebration, and ask God for perspective and wisdom. They shout out Whitney’s “ChurchClothez.Faith (http://ChurchClothez.Faith)” brand and close with prayer and anchor verses: 2 Corinthians 12:9, Romans 6:14, and James 4:6.

Caught Up In The Aesthetics
Therisa and Cristal open with prayer and discuss what it means to be caught up in aesthetics—prioritizing outward appearances, vibes, and presentation over substance, character, and the heart. They share examples like TikTok-hyped restaurants with poor food and service, Therisa’s shift from her “Naturally Transparent” platform to “Behind the Highlight Reels” to show real struggles, and the pressure of appearing strong while internally drowning, and Cristal’s past suicidal thoughts and the need to check on “strong friends.” They connect the topic to scripture, including 1 Samuel 8 about Israel demanding a king despite warnings, and emphasize building a solid foundation in God rather than chasing appearances in relationships, finances, homes, and life. They encourage viewers to seek help and prayer, share BTHRshow.com (http://BTHRshow.com) resources, and close with prayer and social/streaming platform info.

We Real Inconsiderate Aint We?!?
In this episode of Behind The Highlight Reels hosts Cristal and Therisa discuss whether we are treating God like a genie in a bottle or are we truly being considerate of God. Do we truly include Him in decisions rather than “checking a box” and moving ahead? They emphasize waiting for God’s answer, being persistent in prayer (ask, seek, knock), and recognizing that God cares about both big and small matters. They talk about treating God like a genie versus cultivating a relationship, referencing the Lord’s Prayer structure, trust and surrender to God’s will and timing, and discernment through the Holy Spirit’s nudges, peace, conviction, or discomfort. They share personal examples about buying a car, house-hunting in a fast market, relationships where God said no, and accepting God’s Will in a family member’s death. They close with four tips:
Go to God about every decision,
Seek the Holy Spirit,
Wait for an answer, and
Surrender the outcome.
Check out this episode and let us know what you think.
