In Part 2 of our New Year series, we slow things down even more—because some truths can’t be rushed.

This episode centers on two deeply personal conversations: Summer’s Sabbath season, and Tiffany’s wrestle with grace, works, and what it really means to live in relationship with God.

• What it actually looked like to step away—not just from the podcast, but from striving

• The discomfort of slowing down when productivity feels like obedience

• What God revealed in the quiet that couldn’t be heard in the noise

• What Sabbath stripped away—and what it gently restored

• How rest isn’t quitting… it’s trusting

Summer shares honestly about what happens when you stop doing for God long enough to just be with Him—and why some of the most important growth happens when nothing looks impressive from the outside.

• The tension between faith and works

• Why believing Jesus died for humanity is easier than believing He died for you

• The fear of “messing it all up” and bringing dishonor to God

• The realization that grace doesn’t require repayment

• Shifting from “What can I do for God?” to “What has God already done for me?”

Tiffany shares her word(s) for the year—community and relationship—and why the focus begins vertically, not outwardly. This conversation explores how striving can quietly replace intimacy, and how doing all the “right” things can still leave us lonely if we aren’t actually walking with God.

We talk about:

• Neglecting relationship in favor of religious effort

• Why obedience without intimacy becomes exhausting

• How Jesus describes Himself as gentle and humble—and why that matters

• Learning to receive God’s love as a gift, not a wage

This episode is for anyone who:

• Loves God but feels tired

• Has confused holiness with hustle

• Is craving rest but afraid to stop

• Knows the truth of the gospel—but struggles to let it sink all the way in

You don’t have to earn what’s already been given.
You don’t have to perform to be loved.
And you don’t have to rush into the new year without first letting God tend to your heart.

🎧 Part 3 will continue the conversation as we step into the biblical importance of community—and why we were never meant to walk this faith alone.

In this episode, we talk about:✨ Summer’s Sabbath✨ Tiffany’s New Year Focus

We’re Back: Looking Back Before Moving Forward

After a season apart, we’re back together—and honestly? It feels really good.

This episode kicks off our first conversation of 2026, and instead of rushing straight into goals, plans, and “what’s next,” we decided to pause. To look back. To name what was beautiful, what was hard, and what we’re ready to leave behind.

In Part 1, we cover:

• What it felt like to come back together after a season of Sabbath and solo episodes

• Why stepping away (or holding things down alone) can be both holy and hard

• A real, unfiltered reflection on the last year—what went well, what didn’t, and what stretched us

• Gratitude for growth that came through discomfort

• Honoring the quiet seasons that don’t look productive but change us deeply

This isn’t a highlight reel or a polished recap. It’s two friends sitting down, telling the truth about a year that shaped us—and making space for God to speak before we sprint into the new one.

If you’re feeling the tension of:

• Loving God but feeling tired

• Grateful for growth but still carrying some grief

• Ready for a new year but needing a moment to breathe

…this conversation is for you.

Stick with us for Part 2 and Part 3, where we’ll unpack Sabbath, community, relationship with God, and what we’re carrying forward into this next season—together.

💛 Thanks for being here. We’re really glad you are.

✨ EPISODE 4 — Simply Christmas: The Greatest Gift

A Different Podcast December Series Finale

We’re wrapping up the Simply Christmas series with the heartbeat behind it all — the reminder that Christmas isn’t powerful because of what we give, but because of what He gave.
This episode is the warm mug at the end of the month, the deep breath your soul has been needing, and the grounding truth that centers everything else.

Tiffany closes out the series by walking us through:

• A reading of Luke 2:6–20 — the night everything changed

• Why the world naturally becomes more generous around Christmas (even when they don’t realize why)

• How the first gifts from the Magi pointed to Jesus’ identity

• Why our modern generosity is a faint echo of God’s much greater one

• The beauty of the gospel wrapped inside the Christmas story

• How Jesus is the gift that doesn’t fade, break, or get returned for store credit

This is the episode that brings the season back to its foundation:
Not presents.
Not pressure.
Not performance.
Presence — His presence.

• Luke 2:6–20 — The birth of Jesus and the announcement to the shepherds

• John 10:10 — “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”

• Isaiah 9:6 — “For unto us a Child is born…”

• Galatians 4:4–7 — Adoption, identity, and becoming children of God

• Christmas generosity is beautiful — but it’s only a shadow of God’s generosity toward us.

• The first Christmas gifts were offerings of worship, not obligation.

• Jesus didn’t come to create a holiday; He came to bring us home.

• True joy in this season comes from receiving the gift of Christ, not perfecting the magic of Christmas.

• Our hearts find rest when we remember that we are loved, pursued, and adopted by the King born in Bethlehem.

Before you wrap another gift or swipe another card, pause long enough to remember the gift already given to you:
A Savior.
A Redeemer.
A King who stepped into the world small and humble so He could lift you into His family forever.

That’s the gift that changes everything — your past, your present, your eternity.

A new year. A new season. And Summer’s return from her December Sabbath (we love a rested queen).

✨Simply Christmas- Joy That Isn't Fake / When Expectations Don't Match Reality

A Different Podcast December Series

This week we’re stepping into the tender side of Christmas — the side most people don’t post, but almost everyone feels.
If your reality this year doesn’t look anything like the picture you hoped for, this episode is your gentle reminder that joy is still possible… even here.

Tiffany opens up about:

• What to do when family doesn’t feel like family anymore

• The ache of missing loved ones and facing empty chairs at the table

• Navigating a Christmas where people don’t show up the way you expected

• The heavy tension between “what I pictured” and “what I’m living”

• Why hope deferred hurts — and what Scripture says about disappointment

• How grief and joy can actually coexist

• How to find joy that isn’t fake, forced, or dependent on others

This episode is honest. It’s tender. It’s a little toe-steppy.
And it’s full of the comfort Christ offers when our expectations fall short.

• Proverbs 13:12 — When hope is delayed, the heart feels it.

• John 11:35 — Jesus wept. Real grief matters to God.

• Matthew 12:48–50 — Spiritual family can be just as real as biological family.

• Psalm 16:11 — Joy is found in the presence of God, not perfect circumstances.

• Romans 12:18 — You’re responsible for your peace, not everyone’s behavior.

• Joy was never meant to come from picture-perfect plans — it comes from Jesus.

• Your grief is valid. Your disappointment is seen.

• Expectations can be adjusted without losing hope.

• You don’t need a perfect family dynamic to have a meaningful Christmas.

• Joy shows up in small, holy moments — not just big, cinematic ones.

Lean in.
Let God fill the gaps people couldn’t.
Let this season be simple enough for your heart to breathe again.

✨ EPISODE 2 — Simply Christmas: Escaping the Debt Trap

A Different Podcast December Series

Welcome back to Different and week two of our Simply Christmas series — where we lovingly look December in the eyes and say: “You’re not running this show.”

Last week was all about choosing stillness.
This week? We’re going straight for the jugular of holiday stress:
Money. Pressure. Overspending. And breaking free from the Christmas debt cycle.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to buy more, spend more, or prove more during December, this episode is a breath of fresh, peppermint-scented air.

Tiffany unpacks:

• How Christmas culture quietly turned generosity into financial pressure

• Why debt has become “normal” — and why normal is not biblical

• The parent pressure, social pressure, and cultural pressure that drive overspending

• Practical + spiritual tools to step out of the debt trap

• How to align your Christmas with Jesus instead of consumerism

This isn’t about guilt — it’s about freedom.
It’s about bringing your finances back under the peace of Christ, not the chaos of comparison.

• Praying for wisdom

• Resetting priorities to: people over presents

• Renewing your mind with Scripture, not sales ads

• Finding accountability

• Budgeting (yes, we say the B-word with love)

• Paying cash whenever possible

• Limiting social media to protect your peace

• Side gigs, decluttering, and planning ahead

• Saving now for next year

These aren’t rules — they’re lifelines.

• 1 Timothy 6:17 — “God richly provides everything for us to enjoy.”
  No competing. No overspending. No debt required.

Jesus came quietly, humbly, and simply — without receipts, ribbon, or credit limits.
His presence was the gift.
His life is the abundance.

A debt-free Christmas isn’t just possible — it’s worship.

Episode 3 — Joy That Isn’t Fake: Finding Real Happiness in a Heavy Season.

✨ Simply Christmas: Choosing Stillness

A Different Podcast December Series

December is here, friends — and this month looks a little… well, different. Summer is taking a much-needed Sabbath (we love her, we bless her, we’re letting her rest like the responsible adult we aspire to be), so Tiffany is flying solo with a brand-new series: Simply Christmas.

If your December calendar already needs prayer, if your soul feels the swirl, or if you’re just craving a Christmas that’s actually about Christ — this episode is your exhale.

We dive into what it means to find peace on purpose in a season that tries to steal it. Tiffany unpacks:

• How the first Christmas was breathtakingly simple

• Why we’ve turned December into a sprint we never signed up for

• The pressures that drain our joy (financial, time, emotional)

• What Scripture actually invites us into during the holidays

• Why Jesus Himself modeled quiet, margin, and retreat

• How to choose stillness without abandoning real life

This is your gentle nudge — and your spiritual permission slip — to slow down, breathe deep, and make room for the Savior who still shows up in the simple.

• Matthew 11:28 — “Come to Me, all who are weary…”

• 1 Peter 5:7 — “Cast your anxiety on Him…”

• Psalm 46:10 — “Be still and know that I am God.”

• Peace isn’t found in doing more — it’s found in doing less on purpose.

• You don’t have to overspend to honor Jesus.

• You get to steward your time (your calendar is not your boss).

• Jesus modeled stillness because we need it.

• A simple Christmas is often the most worshipful one.

We’re slowing down.
We’re choosing Presence over pressure.
And we’re rediscovering the beauty of a Simply Christmas together.

Next week: Episode 2 — Finding Joy When Expectations Don’t Match Reality (aka the episode that will step on the toes we didn’t know we still had).

🩸 EPISODE 8: Testimony Is Warfare — When Obedience Is the Story

Series Finale of UNSEEN

This episode didn’t go the way we planned… it went the way God led.

As life started life-ing and the weight of the season pressed in, the Lord began pressing back — calling us into something deeper, quieter, and holier. Today, we’re sharing a testimony we didn’t expect: the testimony of obedience, rest, and letting God rearrange the schedule when He knows best.

Summer is stepping into a month-long Sabbath for December — not quitting, not burning out, but obediently following the Holy Spirit into rest, healing, and intentional time with the Lord and her family. Tiffany will continue hosting the podcast solo through December, carrying the torch until they reunite in January.

This is our story right now. And your story — whatever season you’re in — is warfare too.

In this episode:

• Why testimony is more than storytelling — it’s spiritual warfare

• How obedience (even rest) humiliates the enemy

• Summer’s call to Sabbath and what God is doing in her heart

• Tiffany’s call to continue speaking and covering the podcast

• Why Revelation 12:11 is playing out in real time

• Real-life transparency about overwhelm, pressure, and choosing holiness over hustle

• Encouragement for listeners facing their own “God is redirecting me” season

Key Verses:
Revelation 12:11 · Matthew 11:28 · Psalm 23:2 · James 4:7 · John 16:33 · 2 Corinthians 1:4

🕊 EPISODE 7: PEACE AS A WEAPON — Winning the War Without Swinging a Sword

Series: UNSEEN: The War You Can’t Ignore

Not all weapons make noise.

In this episode, Tiffany and Summer unpack one of the most underrated strategies in spiritual warfare — peace. The kind that doesn’t flinch in chaos, doesn’t clap back under pressure, and doesn’t let the enemy set the emotional temperature of the room.

From Jesus sleeping through storms to the armor of God that includes the shoes of peace, this episode will teach you how to walk in authority without raising your voice. Because when you carry the peace of Christ, hell loses its footing.

In this episode:

• Why peace is part of your armor, not just a personality trait

• How to guard your mind and keep your heart steady in chaos

• Practical ways to practice peace daily

• Why stillness is a strategy — not surrender

• How worship and peace work together to disarm the enemy

Key Verses:Ephesians 6:15 · John 14:27 · Philippians 4:6–7 · Romans 16:20 · Isaiah 26:3 · Mark 4:39
