Faith at Work
Welcome to Holy Hot Mess — the podcast where faith collides with real life, chaos and all. In this episode, “Faith at Work,” your hosts Stephanie Gabbard and Madison Eversole unpack what it really looks like to live out your faith in the everyday — not just on Sundays, not just in quiet time, but right in the middle of your job, your responsibilities, and your real-world mess. Maybe you’re navigating a work environment that feels draining, discouraging, or downright chaotic. Maybe you feel tension trying to be “Christlike” when deadlines, coworkers, stress, or even burnout push all your buttons. If that’s you, this episode is absolutely for you. We’re talking about what it means to carry Jesus into the workplace — with integrity, with compassion, with courage — and how faith can shape your attitude, your decisions, your relationships, and even your purpose on the clock. Expect honest stories, practical encouragement, and some lessons we’ve learned the hard way about representing Christ when it’s not easy (or convenient). At Holy Hot Mess, we believe your workplace is not an accident — it’s an assignment. God is present in your everyday tasks, your conversations, your challenges, and even the moments you’d rather skip. He cares about your job, your calling, and your heart in the midst of it all. No hype. No pretending. Just honest faith, real talk, and a whole lot of grace for the workday ahead. 📲 Stay connected: Facebook: Holy Hot Mess TikTok: @holyhotmess2 📧 Email: holyhotmesspastorswives@gmail.com

Grace Meets Grit
Welcome to Holy Hot Mess — the podcast where faith collides with real life, chaos and all. In this episode, “Relationship Not Religion,” your hosts Stephanie Gabbard and Madison Eversole dive into one of the most important distinctions in our walk with Christ — knowing Him personally versus just following the motions. Maybe you’ve grown up in church, checked all the boxes, and still feel like something’s missing. Or maybe you’ve been burned by “religion” and wonder if faith is even worth it. This episode is for you. For the ones craving more than rules, routines, and appearances — we’re here to remind you that Jesus didn’t come to establish religion, He came to invite us into relationship. We’ll share how God shifted our perspective, the moments He stripped away our “good Christian checklist,” and the freedom that comes when you stop striving and start abiding. Expect honest conversation about identity, intimacy with Christ, and what it really looks like to walk with Him daily — even when life feels messy. At Holy Hot Mess, we believe faith was never meant to be about performance — it’s about presence. Not about doing more, but about being with the One who already did it all. No hype. No pretending. Just honest faith, real talk, and a whole lot of grace for the journey. 📲 Stay connected: Facebook: Holy Hot Mess TikTok: @holyhotmess2 📧 Email: holyhotmesspastorswives@gmail.com

Faith in the Ordinary
🎙️ Faith in the Ordinary Season 2, Episode 1 of Holy Hot Mess Welcome back to Holy Hot Mess — the podcast where faith collides with real life, chaos and all. We’re kicking off Season 2: Christian Life in Daily Living with an episode that hits close to home — Faith in the Ordinary. Sometimes we expect faith to show up in big miracles or mountaintop moments. But what if God is most present in the everyday — in the dishes, the carpool line, the hard conversations, and the quiet mornings that don’t feel very “spiritual”? In this episode, your hosts Stephanie Gabbard and Madison Eversole talk about what it means to live out your faith in the small, unseen moments — the ordinary routines that God uses to shape our hearts. We’ll unpack how to notice His hand in the mundane, how to keep showing up when life feels repetitive or unremarkable, and how the Holy Spirit transforms our daily habits into holy ground. Maybe you’re in a season that feels ordinary — just trying to keep your head above water, wondering if any of it matters. This episode is for you. We’ll share stories of where God met us in the middle of our mess, how we’ve learned to invite Him into the little things, and why the ordinary is often the very place He’s doing His most extraordinary work. At Holy Hot Mess, we believe faith isn’t just for Sundays or spotlight moments — it’s for the daily grind, the quiet faithfulness, and the ordinary places where God is still writing holy stories. No hype. No pretending. Just honest faith, real talk, and a whole lot of grace for the journey. 📲 Stay connected: Facebook: Holy Hot Mess TikTok: @holyhotmess2 📧 Email: holyhotmesspastorswives@gmail.com

Caller ID: Conviction
🎙️ Caller ID: Conviction Welcome to Holy Hot Mess — the podcast where faith collides with real life, chaos and all. In this episode, Caller ID: Conviction, your hosts Stephanie Gabbard and Madison Eversole unpack the difference between conviction and condemnation — and why understanding that distinction changes everything in your walk with Christ. Maybe you’ve wrestled with guilt that keeps you stuck, wondering if it’s God’s voice or just shame on repeat. Or maybe you’ve experienced those Holy Spirit nudges that call you higher, but they felt heavy instead of freeing. This episode is for you. For the ones longing to hear God clearly, to know the difference between His correction and the enemy’s lies, and to step into conviction that leads to growth — not condemnation that chains you down. We’ll share our own stories of where God’s conviction has shown up in the middle of our mess, how we’ve confused it with shame, and the surprising freedom we found when we finally recognized His voice for what it was — love calling us closer. Expect honest conversation about grace, repentance, and how conviction is never meant to crush you, but to guide you back into the Father’s arms. At Holy Hot Mess, we believe God’s voice brings clarity, not confusion. Conviction leads to life, not despair. And when you learn to recognize the Caller ID, you’ll never confuse His heart with condemnation again. No hype. No pretending. Just honest faith, real talk, and a whole lot of grace for the journey. 📲 Stay connected: Facebook: Holy Hot Mess TikTok: @holyhotmess2 📧 Email: holyhotmesspastorswives@gmail.com
