Episodes
What does faith look like when life is not calm, clean, organized, or emotionally convenient?
In Episode 43 of Divine Shenanigans, Brynn Whited talks about having faith in the middle of the mess — not after everything is fixed, not after the storm settles, and not after your heart feels perfectly peaceful. This episode is for anyone walking through stress, uncertainty, emotional exhaustion, messy relationships, waiti...
Do you ever feel like being a “good Christian” means becoming quieter, calmer, less emotional, less messy… or just less you?
In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, Brynn talks about the pressure to fit into the “perfect Christian personality” and why holiness is not the same thing as performance. Through humor, personal stories, community experiences, Scripture, and real-life faith conversations, this episode unpacks...
Letting go sounds spiritual… until you actually have to do it.
In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re talking about what it really looks like to release something (or someone) without the emotional speech, the closure you never got, or the dramatic exit you definitely rehearsed in your head.
Because sometimes… God doesn’t call us to explain everything.
Sometimes He calls us to quietly let go—and trust Him with wh...
Let’s be real…
Have you ever looked at your Bible and thought,
“Wow… we really don’t hang out like we used to…” 😅
But at the same time—you still love God.
You still think about Him.
You still talk to Him in random, real-life moments.
So what does that mean for your faith?
In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re talking about those in-between seasons—the ones where your routine isn’t perfect, your co...
Ever had a moment where your brain went from “this is fine” to “everything is falling apart and I need to emotionally relocate”… in under 30 seconds?
Yeah. Same.
In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re talking about what it looks like to trust a calm God… when your nervous system is doing the absolute most. Because while we’re over here overthinking, spiraling, and preparing for outcomes that haven’t even happene...
Grace for the Emotionally Overreactive
Love Jesus… but also cry in your car, overthink everything, and replay conversations from 2014? Yeah… same.
In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re talking about what it looks like to live with big feelings and still walk with God—without shame, without pretending, and without spiraling quite as dramatically.
We dive into:
✨ Why your emotions aren’t the enemy
✨ How ...
Easter isn’t quiet… and resurrection is anything but subtle.
In this special Divine Shenanigans bonus episode, we’re talking about the kind of hope that doesn’t break under pressure. The kind that survives Friday, waits through Saturday, and shows up loud on Sunday.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a heavy season—grieving, overwhelmed, dealing with family tension, or wondering if anything is actually changing—this episode...
What do you do when nothing is happening… and God feels quiet?
In this Holy Saturday episode of Divine Shenanigans, we step into the uncomfortable, often overlooked space between Good Friday and Easter Sunday—the in-between.
Because if we’re honest… most of life doesn’t feel like a breakthrough or a breakdown.
It feels like waiting.
In this reflective and powerful episode, Brynn explores:
✨ What it meant for the disciple...
What happens when we praise Jesus on Sunday… but feel confused by Monday?
In this Holy Week episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re talking about the tension of Palm Sunday through John 12:12–19 and the hard truth that the same crowd shouting “Hosanna!” later shouted “Crucify Him!” Oof. Humans stay human.
This episode explores what happens when Jesus doesn’t meet our expectations, when faith feels shaky because God doesn...
Some crosses don’t come wrapped in purpose…
they show up looking like inconvenience, frustration, and “this was NOT part of my plan.”
In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, Brynn gets real about what Jesus meant in Luke 9:23—and why “take up your cross daily” is a lot less aesthetic and a lot more surrender than we’d like.
We’re talking about the kind of obedience that doesn’t get applause.
The kind of surren...
Have you ever apologized to God so many times that it felt like you were stuck in a spiritual apology loop?
In this episode of the Divine Shenanigans Podcast, Brynn talks about what repentance actually means — and why it’s not supposed to send you into a shame spiral.
Using Psalm 51 as the foundation, we explore the difference between conviction and condemnation, why shame keeps us stuck, and how repentance in the Bib...
Not every wilderness season comes with golden lighting and inspirational background music.
In this honest and lightly sarcastic episode of Divine Shenanigans, Brynn dives into Gospel of Matthew 4:1–11 and the story of Jesus being tempted in the wilderness. What happens when you’re spiritually tired? When temptation sounds logical instead of evil? When faith feels harder than it used to?
We’re talking about:
• Spi...
So… what are you giving up for Lent? Chocolate? Social media? Your last ounce of patience?
In this Lent kickoff episode of Divine Shenanigans, Brynn Whited unpacks what Lent actually is—and what it absolutely is not. Spoiler alert: it’s not a spiritual diet plan, a 40-day personality detox, or a holiness competition.
With humor, honesty, and deeply grounding truth, Brynn explores:
• Why Lent isn’t about performance (Ma...
Episode 30: When Obedience Feels Inconvenient
Divine Shenanigans with Brynn Whited
Obedience sounds spiritual… until it messes with your comfort.
In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re talking about the kind of “yes” that disrupts your schedule, humbles your pride, and interrupts your perfectly curated plans. The kind of obedience that doesn’t come with applause, clarity, or a five-step guarantee.
We dive into:
✨ W...
Have you ever had a perfectly good plan… and then God lovingly set it on fire?
In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re talking about holy interruptions — the unexpected detours, closed doors, delays, and reroutes that feel frustrating in the moment but later reveal God’s protection, preparation, and deeper purpose.
Because let’s be honest:
We love God’s will… as long as it matches our calendar.
But what happe...
We love instant answers—but God specializes in slow, deep growth.
In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we talk honestly about microwave prayers, crockpot faith, and how to survive waiting seasons without spiraling.
This episode includes:
- Why waiting messes with our faith and mental health
- Bible stories that remind us slow growth still counts
- Practical ways to stay grounded when answers feel late
- Community, enc...
What does faith look like when you’re tired, overwhelmed, and running on fumes? In this sermon-style episode of Divine Shenanigans, we explore “Faith on Low Battery”—real-life faith for exhausted believers who still love God but don’t have much left to give. Through Scripture, Bible stories, personal and community experiences, gentle humor, and honest encouragement, this episode reminds you that God doesn’t require...
Ever sang off-key in worship? Clapped on the wrong beat? Lifted the wrong hand during “this is how I fight my battles” and just committed anyway? 😅
In Episode 26 of Divine Shenanigans: Worship Fails & Grace Wins, we’re talking about awkward worship moments, quiet faith seasons, and the freeing truth that God sees the heart—not your rhythm.
With humor, Scripture, personal stories, community moments, and real...
What if evangelism isn’t about being loud, bold, or fearless?
In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re reframing the Great Commission for the shy, the awkward, the introverted, and the ones who love Jesus deeply—but don’t feel called to street-preach with a megaphone.
If the idea of “sharing your faith” has ever made you freeze, overthink, or quietly hope someone else would handle it… this episode is for you.
We ta...
Your Calling Isn’t on Airplane Mode
Have you ever wondered if you missed your calling?
Maybe life got loud.
Maybe you got tired.
Maybe you were just trying to survive — and somewhere along the way, you started to wonder if God stopped calling… or if you stopped hearing Him.
In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, Brynn Whited explores what it really means to hear God when life feels noisy, faith feels quiet, and...

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos.
