Be the Brave Ones
The official podcast of Brave Girls Gather! We are passionate about seeing women and girls grow closer to Jesus—and to each other. Our heart is to help the next generation make discipleship a way of life, not just a moment. We believe intergenerational relationships are a powerful force within God’s people, and we want to see them become the norm. Our heartbeat is simple: Gather, Grow, Go. Gather — because we weren’t made to walk alone. Grow — letting Scripture shape you, not just inform you. Go — taking brave steps into discipleship, where transformation leads to multiplication. Each episode is designed to equip you with practical tools and meaningful resources to live this out. Learn more at bravegirlsgather.com—and be sure to follow us on the Bible App!

As we wrap up our So Blessed series through Matthew 5, we're taking one final look at what Jesus teaches about the truly blessed life. Together, we've explored the Beatitudes, discovered our identity as salt and light, wrestled with Jesus' high calling for His followers, and seen our deep need for the grace He alone provides.
In this final episode, we revisit the key truths from the series and look ahead to what com...
What do you do when someone hurts you, disappoints you, or feels impossible to love?
As we come to the end of Matthew 5, Jesus gives one of His most challenging invitations yet: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
Together, we'll explore what "enemy" can look like in everyday life—not just the obvious examples, but the people we struggle with, avoid, resent, or feel opposed to. We'll a...
When someone hurts you and everything in you wants to protect yourself… defend yourself… maybe even get even. Then Jesus says something that can stop us in our tracks: turn the other cheek.
If you’ve ever wondered, Does this mean becoming a doormat? Ignoring sin? Pretending I’m not hurt? — you’re not alone.
In this episode of So Blessed, we slow down in Matthew 5:38–42 and ...
Have you ever read Matthew 5 and quietly thought, I can’t do this?
Friend… you’re not failing. You may actually be closer to the point than you realize.
In this episode, we walk through Matthew 5:21–37 and sit with some of Jesus’ hardest teachings—anger, lust, divorce, honesty, and the places where outward obedience can hide an unchanged heart.
At first, Jesus’ words can feel...
Obedience can feel like one of those church words that instantly makes your chest tighten. For some of us, it sounds restrictive. For others, it feels like a scoreboard we can never win. And for many of us, it stirs up guilt because deep down, we realize we can’t measure up.
In this episode, we sit with that tension and let Jesus speak for Himself through Matthew 5:17–20 in the Sermon on the Mount.
When J...
We’re back in Matthew 5, walking through the final three Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount—peacemaking, persecution, and what to do when people say false things about you because of Jesus.

In this episode, we talk abou...

If you’ve been stuck in the loop of trying harder, doing more, and still wondering whether God is disappointed in you, this conversation offers a different way to breathe. We’re continuing our So Blessed series in Matthew 5, where Jesus invites us into the blessed life through the Beatitudes, not by performance, but by a transformed heart. Our hope is simple: you don’t just walk away with “g...
Jesus uses one word over and over in the Gospel of Matthew 5: blessed. Not blessed as in lucky, comfortable, or admired for all the “right” reasons—but blessed as in a deep joy anchored in God’s salvation and favor, even when life hurts. We’re back in the So Blessed series, walking through the opening of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, letting Him challenge our cultural definitions o...
“Blessed” is one of those words we all use, but Jesus refuses to let us keep shallow definitions. We at Brave Girls Gather are inviting you into the start of a new series through Matthew 5, the opening chapter of the Sermon on the Mount. If you’ve ever felt like faith is mostly about trying harder, chasing the next win, or looking for a sign that God is with you, Jesus offers a better foundation a...
