Episode Details

In this episode, I welcome the unapologetically direct host and author Brandon LaNette for a powerful conversation about responsibility, faith, and growth. We dig into her remarkable life story—from emancipation at 15 and years of rejection as a writer to publishing multiple books and ultimately burning down a lucrative coaching business when God called her out of New Age practices and into a bold, Christ-centered life.

Together, we explore why your past may explain you but doesn’t define you, the necessity of personal accountability, and how faith that transforms demands action. We also get practical on neuroplasticity, breaking avoidance cycles, guarding your testimony, and choosing discipline over excuses—plus why Christians must speak up with spiritual boldness in a culture that rewards softness and victimhood.

Brandon shares how daily time in Scripture reshaped her heart, how to move forward without dwelling on mistakes, and why serving God first clarifies every next step. If you’ve felt stuck, silenced, or waiting to be rescued, this episode is a wake-up call to step into your God-given potential and do the next scary, obedient thing—boldly.
