🎙️ EPISODE 11: “Church Girl, R&B Soul” – When Faith Meets the Heartbreak Playlist What happens when the church girl in you starts vibing more with SZA, Jazmine Sullivan, and Summer Walker than Sunday morning hymns?

This week, Dr. Malesia Britt, Brittany Armstrong, and special guest Sabrina hold sacred space for the real ones—the church girls with playlists full of psalms and pain. We dive deep into the sacred tension between heartbreak and holiness, praise breaks and playlists, theology and therapy.

We ask: 🎶 Can a church girl still love Jesus… and still blast “Lost One” on repeat? 💔 Why don’t churches make space for women’s grief, heartbreak, or desire? 🎤 Could R&B love songs actually be modern-day psalms of lament? 👑 What does it mean to reclaim your voice when the church taught you to suffer in silence?

📖 Scripture Anchor: Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

💡 Segments include: The Cypher – A vulnerable, church-girl convo about heartbreak, healing, and where God shows up between the beats. Church Chronicles – Soundtrack to My Sermon game: What would biblical stories sound like if scored by R&B queens? (Let’s just say, David had Beyoncé energy in Psalm 51 😅) Faith in Motion – Brittany leads a raw and real convo on holding faith and heartbreak in the same hands. Ask the Cypher – A listener writes in: “Can I still be saved if secular songs speak more to my pain than praise and worship?” The Benediction – A reminder that your tears are not too worldly to be seen. That God hears even the lyrics you didn’t write. And that healing might sound like both gospel and grief.

🎙️ EPISODE 9: “The Struggle is Real: Living Out Your Faith in 2025” How to stay grounded in faith when everything feels urgent, digital, and exhausting.

This week, we’re tackling what it means to walk with God when your calendar is chaotic, your group chat is on fire, and your spirit feels worn thin. Dr. Malesia Britt, Dr. Daniel Britt, and Brittany Armstrong get real about what it means to follow Jesus in an always-on, hustle-driven, scroll-heavy culture.

We ask: 📲 How do we protect our peace in a world that never turns off? 🛑 What does it look like to set holy boundaries when everything feels like a priority? 🕊️ Can rest be resistance—and worship? 💻 Where is God in the mundane: the dishes, the emails, the commutes?

📖 Scripture Anchor: Romans 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”

💡 Segments include: The Cypher – Hustle culture vs. holy rest, redefining purpose, and unlearning spiritualized overworking Church Chronicles – “Boundaries or Burnout?” game + group chat-level real talk on rest, peace, and saying “no” Faith in Motion – From burnout to balance: practical ways to keep God in the center amid chaos Ask the Cypher – A listener asks: “Is balance even real anymore—or just a myth?” The Benediction – A reminder that transformation is real—and you don’t have to earn God’s peace
