You’re tired of hanging in there and keeping it together for everyone to see.
Life has shaken you. Circumstances are challenging what you truly believe about God being a loving Father who cares about your needs. And there’s a persistent voice reasoning with you to “let go” and “give up” on whatever you’ve been standing in faith for.
When things appear to be caving in, remember who has ALL authority.
“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.’” — Matthew 28:18
Stand firm in your faith.
Trust that God’s way is always better—even when it’s hard to trace what He’s doing, and it’s unclear where He’s leading.
Like Jesus, we His followers will experience wilderness seasons of all lengths, shapes, and sizes. And those are the very seasons when we need to cling to God the most.
When you’re uncertain about what God is doing, trust who God is.
The lies of Satan are often half-truths. They aren’t always obvious. Sometimes lies come through familiar voices, circumstances, and reasoning that can cloud our ability to discern truth from deception.
That’s why 1 Peter 5:8 instructs us to “Be alert.” The enemy is looking for someone to deceive and misguide.
Let’s Make This Practical:
1. Receive God’s love for you.Do you really believe He loves you? Will you accept it? Can you rest in it—even here? (Romans 5:8).
2. Get in God’s Word.Reading and studying Scripture isn’t optional for a disciple of Jesus. We need truth deeply rooted in us so we can recognize a lie when we hear one. (John 15:4-5).
3. Build your life on Jesus.Not your circumstances. Not your feelings. Not what you can see. Build an anchored relationship with Jesus. He is your foundation. (Matthew 7:24-26).
The struggles of this life are not greater than Christ.
Invite Him into your everyday—especially the hard moments. Surrender what you cannot control and remember:
The enemy does not have the final word.Your circumstances do not have the final word.Your fear does not have the final word.
Jesus does.
Because ALL authority belongs to Him.
Stay Anchored,
Brittany

Blueprint for Surviving Life’s Storm
When the storm comes…
When life experiences aren’t what you planned…
When disappointment sets in…
When prayers remain unanswered…
What is revealed about your life’s foundation?
What home are you building, and what foundation does it rest on?
In Matthew 7:24–27, Jesus tells us that our spiritual foundation—the foundation that ultimately pours out into every area of our lives—is either built on Jesus, the Rock, or on something else.
And anything built on anything other than Him is like a home built on sand.
The Holy Spirit, in a sense, is our cautionary architect—our wise counselor and even our real estate agent—who lovingly says, “Don’t build here.”
Why?
Because the storm is coming.
Jesus never promised us an easy life. In John 16:33, He tells us plainly that we will have trouble in this world.
The storm may be coming.
The storm may be here.
Or perhaps you’ve just walked through one.
But here’s something important:
The storm doesn’t necessarily create what’s underneath us. It reveals it.
Storms have a way of exposing the idols we’ve built our lives around. They uncover deeper pain, disappointment, fear, and the questions we’ve wrestled with beneath the surface.
And so often, those questions take us all the way back to the garden:
Is God enough?Is He really sufficient?Can I trust Him when life doesn’t look the way I thought it would?
Jeremiah 2:13 gives us a sobering picture of what happens when we abandon God, the Giver of living water, and attempt to make our own broken cisterns—our own sources of security, satisfaction, control, and fulfillment.
The storm is coming.
So before you press play, I want you to ask yourself:
What am I building my life on?
And perhaps even more honestly:
Is there anything in my life that needs to come off the sand?
Lean in.

Trusting God at the Wall
Perhaps you’re ready to quit…[fill in the blank] and you’re at the end of yourself.
GOOD.
Jesus can now, with your allowance, have His way to transform every part of your heart, and therefore your life.
In this episode, I am sharing some tools that the LORD is stretching me to grow in at my own wall in life.
To the wife and mama who may feel discouraged, shaken, and struggle with honest thoughts of quitting, I want to remind you that God sees you at your wall.
KEEP GOING!
Jesus, knowing in advance you would enter this difficult season and situation, has provided a solution for you to KEEP GOING. “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).
How brave of you to burn the cape of self-reliance and lean into the solution of Jesus, at your wall, in the mess of life, remembering that you have ALL you need in Christ Jesus.
I pray this episode encourages you to admit the struggle and accept the solution of Jesus.
#keepgoing
