Built Between Podcast

In this episode of Built Between, Lily is joined by Dr. Lynne for a powerful, truth-filled conversation on what it actually means to walk with God.They talk about the difference between knowing about God and truly knowing Him - and how modern Christianity can sometimes drift into content consumption instead of real relationship. Dr. Lynne unpacks the reality that following Christ is costly, not just a highlight reel of blessings, and challenges listeners to ask themselves a deeper question: Is God’s presence enough? Together, they dive into the importance of getting back to the basics - reading the Word daily, becoming “modern-day Bereans,” and not relying solely on others to interpret Scripture for you. They also discuss what it looks like to interrogate your heart, check your motives, and allow God to correct and discipline you out of love - not condemnation. This episode is a reminder that Christianity isn’t about convenience or comfort…it’s about transformation, obedience, and truly knowing the Lord for yourself.Because at the end of the day -it’s not about how much you’ve heard…it’s about whether you actually know Him.Is His presence enough for you?

In this solo episode of Built Between, Lily opens up about a season of uncertainty, surrender, and learning what it actually means to walk in faith.She shares how praying for more trust in God led to everything around her feeling shaken - forcing her to rely on Him without having clarity, direction, or control. Lily reflects on the ways she unknowingly put God in a box, expecting Him to move in familiar patterns, and how releasing those expectations has opened her heart to trust Him more deeply. She also talks about moving to Florida alone, the growth that comes from solitude, and how God uses quiet seasons to prune, refine, and reveal what’s truly in your heart. Through personal struggles with doubt, control, and feeling distant from God, Lily shares the importance of staying honest, keeping your heart open, and choosing to believe even when you don’t feel it. This episode is a reminder that faith isn’t about having all the answers…it’s about trusting God when you have none.What area of your life is God asking you to trust Him in right now?

In this episode of Built Between, Lily and Jackie unpack a powerful lesson from Matthew 7 - taking the focus off of others and turning inward.They talk about how easy it is to judge, criticize, or feel hurt by others’ actions, while missing the deeper work God is trying to do within our own hearts. Lily opens up about people-pleasing, unmet expectations, and how placing pressure on others can actually reveal areas in our own heart that need healing and accountability. Jackie dives into what it really looks like to maintain peace - not by controlling situations or people, but by slowing down, bringing emotions to God first, and allowing Him to purify your heart. Together, they explore how striving, unrealistic expectations, and self-pressure can steal joy, and how Ecclesiastes reframes life - reminding us to actually enjoy what God has already given us. They also talk about trusting God without constant confirmation, understanding His perfect vs. permissive will, and how discipline, self-awareness, and surrender all play a role in spiritual growth. Because sometimes the breakthrough isn’t in changing others... it’s in letting God change you.What has God been trying to show you about your own heart?

In this episode of Built Between, Lily and Jackie talk about something a lot of us don’t realize… sometimes the hard seasons we’re in are actually answered prayers.Lily shares how praying for God to cleanse her heart led to unexpected trials that exposed areas of her life that needed healing - revealing how easy it is to fall into performance, negativity, and legalism without even realizing it.Jackie opens up about praying to face her insecurities head-on, and how quickly God answered - bringing those exact struggles to the surface and teaching her how to surrender them in real time.Together, they unpack what it looks like to trust God fully - not just in prayer, but in the moments after, choosing faith over worry and surrender over control.They also talk about the importance of heart posture, having uncomfortable conversations (with both people and God), and how growth often comes through the very things we try to avoid.Because sometimes what feels like a setback… is actually God refining you.Could this hard season actually be God working on your heart?

In this episode of Built Between, Lily and Jackie have an honest conversation about heart posture, striving, and what it really means to walk with God.They talk about how easy it is to fall into doing things for God instead of simply being with Him - and how even good things like serving, growing, or wanting to be used can quietly become idols.The conversation dives into forgiveness, praying for people who hurt you, and trusting that justice belongs to God - not us.They also reflect on the importance of heart posture: having a willing, humble, and tender heart rather than one that is driven by performance or reward.Throughout the episode, they unpack the tension between striving and resting - learning that you don’t have to earn God’s love, approval, or presence.Because the truth is, He already loves you.And sometimes walking with God isn’t about doing more… it’s about being with Him.Where in your life are you striving instead of simply being?

In this episode of Built Between, Lily and Jackie open up about two very different seasons of life - marriage and singleness - and what it looks like to follow God faithfully in both.Jackie shares about her new marriage, the boundaries she and her husband set while dating, and the importance of keeping the Lord at the center of a relationship.Lily shares honestly about being in a season of waiting - learning to trust God even while watching prayers unfold in the lives of the people around her.They talk about guarding your heart from idolatry, stewarding seasons well, and why your relationship with God must come before any relationship on earth.The conversation also dives into prayer, honesty with God, and the freedom of bringing both gratitude and struggle to Him at the same time.Because faith doesn’t mean pretending everything is perfect.It means trusting the Lord in every season - whether you’re being filled, stretched, or still waiting.Wherever you are in your journey, God is working.

In this episode of Built Between, Lily and Jackie sit down for one of their most real and unfiltered conversations yet.They talk about the joy that comes from walking with the Lord and how once you truly experience His presence, the things you used to chase start to lose their pull. What the world offers might feel good for a moment, but nothing compares to the joy that comes from God.The conversation moves through a mix of topics - friendship, church community, balancing different personalities, and learning how to grow alongside the people God places in your life.They also open up about real struggles believers face, including judgment, lust, and the daily battle of renewing your mind and turning to God when temptation shows up.Throughout the episode, they remind listeners of one important truth: following Jesus doesn’t mean being perfect. It means being honest, seeking Him daily, and allowing His grace to meet you in the middle of your growth.Loving Jesus isn’t boring - it’s joyful, freeing, and very real.

In this episode of Built Between, Lily and Jackie show up heavy, tired, and spiritually aware of the battle - yet deeply grateful. What started as a hard day turned into a powerful reminder of what it truly means to rely on God.They talk about being spiritually drained, stewarding what God has given them, and learning that the only One who can truly refill your cup is Jesus. This conversation unpacks inviting God into the small decisions, training yourself to hear His voice, and building discernment through time in His Word.They also reflect on humility, guarding against pride as God blesses you, and the importance of developing discipline now - before life gets busier and success tempts you to forget Who gave it to you.This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to strive, perform, or force anything. Draw near to Him. Let Him fill you. Let Him fight for you.Where in your life are you running on empty instead of returning to the Source?

In the third episode of Built Between, Lily and Jackie reflect on what God walked them through this week - learning to surrender control and stop forcing structure where He is simply asking for obedience.They talk about striving, comparison, and the pressure to perform, realizing that when something is led by God, it brings peace - not confusion. This episode explores trusting His timing, letting go of control, and allowing God to refine you through small acts of obedience, trials, and growth.They also discuss purpose within the body of Christ, learning God’s voice through His Word, and the importance of prayer, stewardship, and walking with people who help you process life without replacing intimacy with the Lord.This conversation is shared as a reminder to stop forcing, stop comparing, and trust that God is building you into who you are called to be.What are you trying to control that God is asking you to surrender?

In the second episode of Built Between, Lily and Jackie dive into the role of Godly friendships - what they are, why they matter, and how the people around you shape your walk with Christ.They talk about fellowship, accountability, and the kind of friendships that don’t just comfort you, but sharpen you. The ones that bring you back to the Word, call you higher, and walk with you in obedience - even when it’s uncomfortable. Because real love doesn’t justify sin, it helps lead you back to truth.This episode explores discernment in relationships, boundaries, and the reality that not everyone is meant to walk every season with you. Some friendships are blessings for growth, some are for a time, and some require wisdom and distance. You are who you surround yourself with - and every voice in your life should ultimately point you back to God.Lily and Jackie end with two powerful questions in the Q&A: How do you respond when someone you love walks away from faith? And is it right to affirm someone’s peace when it exists apart from God?This conversation is shared with the hope that you feel encouraged, sharpened, and reminded that you don’t have to walk this journey alone. God gives us wisdom, His Word, and people to walk beside us - but above all, we go to Him first.Who in your life is helping you grow closer to Christ?
