When God's Plan Doesn't Match Yours: My Birth Story

Freedom is not something you wait to feel... it is something you choose, and comparison, rejection, pride, shame, perfectionism, and half-heartedness are often the chains keeping you stuck! In this week's episode, I sat down with Kenz Durham and Mac Bridges to unpack the real roots of spiritual bondage and what it actually takes to walk free!📙 mac and kenz's book: https://a.co/d/07GTi7Lk📙 my book: the fabric of hope ~ https://a.co/d/00eAvIbM 📙 my book: you can be free ~ https://a.co/d/06y2oXLy 🤍 free christian resources (devotionals, guides & more) ~ https://kirbykelly.myflodesk.com/kirbykelly🤍 start your healing journey (10% off christian counseling) ~ https://www.faithfulcounseling.com/kirbykelly🤍 sponsor a compassion child with me ~ https://www.compassion.com/kirbyisaboss🤍 all my links ~ https://linktr.ee/kirbyisaboss📲 follow me on socialsinstagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/kirbyisabosstiktok ~ https://www.tiktok.com/@kirbyisaboss💌 contact + inquiriespodcast questions/guesting ~ [email protected] inquiries ~ [email protected]✝️ book me to speak at your event, church, or conference ~ https://kirby-kelly.com/contactSupport the ministry!: https://kirby-kelly.com/checkout/donate?donatePageId=5d23856d41ec3a0001234376 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

In this episode, I sat down with author and pastor Paige Allen to talk about her book Matriarchs and the powerful faith journeys of the women of Genesis! Paige shares how Sarah, Eve, Mary, and others reveal what it means to receive God’s promises, wait well, lean into pain, nurture what He’s placed in our hands, and release it for future generations. Together, we unpack the idea that being a “matriarch” is about partnering with God to birth anything of His kingdom into the world; not just children, but also dreams, ministries, businesses, and movements! 📙 my book: the fabric of hope ~ https://a.co/d/00eAvIbM 📙 my book: you can be free ~ https://a.co/d/06y2oXLy 📙 paige's book: https://a.co/d/0bGbSzTz 🤍 free christian resources (devotionals, guides & more) ~ https://kirbykelly.myflodesk.com/kirbykelly 🤍 start your healing journey (10% off christian counseling) ~ https://www.faithfulcounseling.com/kirbykelly 🤍 sponsor a compassion child with me ~ https://www.compassion.com/kirbyisaboss 🤍 all my links ~ https://linktr.ee/kirbyisaboss 📲 follow me on socials instagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/kirbyisaboss tiktok ~ https://www.tiktok.com/@kirbyisaboss 💌 contact + inquiries podcast questions/guesting ~ [email protected] business inquiries ~ [email protected] ✝️ book me to speak at your event, church, or conference ~ https://kirby-kelly.com/contact Support the ministry!: https://kirby-kelly.com/checkout/donate?donatePageId=5d23856d41ec3a0001234376 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

You don’t have to choose between loving God with your heart and knowing Him with your mind.

From Eden to Gethsemane, the empty tomb, and the garden city in Revelation, Scripture reveals a God who has never stopped pursuing communion with His people. In this episode, I trace the Bible’s beautiful garden imagery to show how God brings redemption into the places that feel barren, broken, or buried. If you’re walking through grief, disappointment, or a season that feels like a wilderness, I want to remind you that God does not waste your pain; He can transform graves into gardens and broken stories into testimonies of His faithfulness! 📙 my book: the fabric of hope ~ https://a.co/d/00eAvIbM 📙 my book: you can be free ~ https://a.co/d/06y2oXLy 🤍 free christian resources (devotionals, guides & more) ~ https://kirbykelly.myflodesk.com/kirbykelly 🤍 start your healing journey (10% off christian counseling) ~ https://www.faithfulcounseling.com/kirbykelly 🤍 sponsor a compassion child with me ~ https://www.compassion.com/kirbyisaboss 🤍 all my links ~ https://linktr.ee/kirbyisaboss 📲 follow me on socials instagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/kirbyisaboss tiktok ~ https://www.tiktok.com/@kirbyisaboss 💌 contact + inquiries podcast questions/guesting ~ [email protected] business inquiries ~ [email protected] ✝️ book me to speak at your event, church, or conference ~ https://kirby-kelly.com/contact Support the ministry!: https://kirby-kelly.com/checkout/donate?donatePageId=5d23856d41ec3a0001234376 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

In this episode, I sit down with pastor and author Ike Miller to talk about why the cross doesn’t just save us... it brings healing to what sin, trauma, fear, and suffering have broken. We unpack why behavior change alone can’t produce wholeness, what Scripture reveals about God as our healer, and why healing is often a process rather than an instant fix. We also talk honestly about suffering, unanswered prayer, and how Jesus meets us in our wounds instead of asking us to hide them! 📙 my book: the fabric of hope ~ https://a.co/d/00eAvIbM 📙 my book: you can be free ~ https://a.co/d/06y2oXLy 📙 ike's book: https://a.co/d/047PXhXD  🤍 free christian resources (devotionals, guides & more) ~ https://kirbykelly.myflodesk.com/kirbykelly 🤍 start your healing journey (10% off christian counseling) ~ https://www.faithfulcounseling.com/kirbykelly 🤍 sponsor a compassion child with me ~ https://www.compassion.com/kirbyisaboss 🤍 all my links ~ https://linktr.ee/kirbyisaboss 📲 follow me on socials instagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/kirbyisaboss tiktok ~ https://www.tiktok.com/@kirbyisaboss 💌 contact + inquiries podcast questions/guesting ~ [email protected] business inquiries ~ [email protected] ✝️ book me to speak at your event, church, or conference ~ https://kirby-kelly.com/contact Support the ministry!: https://kirby-kelly.com/checkout/donate?donatePageId=5d23856d41ec3a0001234376 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Waiting isn’t just a season… it’s where so much of life and faith is actually formed! I sit down with DawnChere Wilkerson to talk about her book Slow Burn: The Work and Wonder of the Wait and how God is still working even when it feels like nothing is happening. We dive into what it looks like to trust God in the in-between, embrace the process instead of rushing past it, and discover that waiting isn’t punishment; it’s preparation and deeper intimacy with Him! If you’re in a season of waiting, uncertainty, or unanswered prayers, this conversation will help you hold onto hope and see that God is developing something beautiful in the process. 📙 my book: the fabric of hope ~ https://a.co/d/00eAvIbM📙 my book: you can be free ~ https://a.co/d/06y2oXLy📙 dawnchere’s book ~ https://a.co/d/02cwOUAK 🤍 free christian resources (devotionals, guides & more) ~ https://kirbykelly.myflodesk.com/kirbykelly🤍 start your healing journey (10% off christian counseling) ~ https://www.faithfulcounseling.com/kirbykelly🤍 sponsor a compassion child with me ~ https://www.compassion.com/kirbyisaboss🤍 all my links ~ https://linktr.ee/kirbyisaboss 📲 follow me on socialsinstagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/kirbyisabosstiktok ~ https://www.tiktok.com/@kirbyisaboss 💌 contact + inquiriespodcast questions/guesting ~ [email protected] inquiries ~ [email protected] ✝️ book me to speak at your event, church, or conference ~ https://kirby-kelly.com/contact Support the ministry!: https://kirby-kelly.com/checkout/donate?donatePageId=5d23856d41ec3a0001234376 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Sometimes the biggest obstacle to peace isn’t what’s happening around you; it’s what’s happening within you.

I sit down with Dr. Tabatha Barber to talk about women’s hormone health, how God intentionally designed our bodies, and what it looks like to steward our physical health in a way that honors Him.
