The Breaking Bread Podcast

The Breaking Bread Podcast is where we stop cleaning up our stories and start bringing them honestly to Jesus. Thank you for watching... WELCOME TO SEASON 2! This is a place to take off the mask, ask the hard questions, and go beyond performative Christianity. We talk about faith, suffering, obedience, culture, identity, and the places where following Jesus actually gets real, through faith that actually changes you from the inside out. In this episode, Cia gets real about what happens when the thing you prayed would never happen actually happens. After a drunk driver hit her at 140 mph and changed her life forever, Cia found herself wrestling with bitterness, pain, anger, and a question she didn’t know how to answer: “God, why did You let this happen?” She talks about what it looked like to love Jesus while being hurt by what He allowed, the confusion that came with unanswered questions, and how she began to navigate the tension between trusting God and being genuinely angry with Him. Because sometimes faith doesn’t look like having answers. Sometimes it looks like sitting in the pain and choosing to keep talking to God anyway. Every episode is an invitation to break bread, break the mask, and get vulnerable about what it means to know Jesus and let Him change your life. Because following Jesus isn’t about pretending we have it all together. It’s about surrender, truth, and becoming more like Him in the middle of real, messy life. So pull up a seat, bring your questions, and come as you are. There’s room at the table. If something in this episode challenged you, encouraged you, or made you see Jesus differently, don’t just listen and move on. Sit with it. Talk about it. Let it change something. And if you know someone who has ever asked, “God, why me?” send them this episode. Then come back soon! We’ll keep breaking bread. 🤍 If you’re looking to join The Global Network of Evangelists, click the link below! https://www.evangelist.global/membership If you’re looking to be a part of Global Christian Relief, you can donate below! https://give.globalchristianrelief.org Follow along: Instagram: @thebreakingbreadpodcasttt Personal Instagram: @heyits.cia TikTok: @heyitscia

Hey fam! Welcome to Episode 4 of the Breaking Bread Podcast “The Blood that Breaks Your Bondage” I am finally recovering from my concussion to film this introduction for this episode that is near and dear to me. The blood is mentioned over 700 times in the Bible, so don’t you think it's important to talk about? I’m joined by my friend Aaron, who is a worship leader and artist with UPPERROOM Church. We discuss communion and how the blood of Jesus has transformed His life through Scripture and joy of the Lord! As Augustine of Hippo says best, “He gave Himself for you: keep yourself for Him. He shed His blood for your ransom: do not make yourself a slave again.” The blood atones for your sin, redeems you, cleanses you, justifies you before God, and reconciles you to Him. So yeah- it's a big deal. Satan is the “accuser of the brethren.” The blood of Jesus answers every accusation and defeats every hold he tries to claim over you. You can resist the devil, not in your strength, but by the authority of the blood. Rev 12:11. Why should communion be a part of your life? What if you believed Jesus’ blood bought your freedom? How does His blood actually change your life? Let’s talk all about it. Pull up a chair and let’s break bread together! WANT TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST?

Hey fam! Welcome to Episode 3 of the Breaking Bread Podcast This one’s called “Baby, You’re Doing Too Much!” — because let’s be real, sometimes your hustle turns into an idol. Oof. I’m getting real about how I’ve had to unlearn glorifying busyness and start trusting God with every move — not just trying to impress Him with the “good” I’m doing. I wonder if you can relate. We’ll dig into how Moses learned to give other people certain tasks he was doing in order to lead well, and I’ll share some practical ways to stay driven without burning out. Plus, we’ll unpack the parable of the talents and how it teaches us to actually use our gifts wisely instead of shrinking back completely. What if Jesus felt near in your busy season? What if you could actually hear God in your decision-making? Let’s talk about it. Pull up a chair and let’s break bread together! WANT TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST?

Hi friends! Welcome to Episode 2 of the Breaking Bread Podcast- The Comparison Detox. In this episode, I’m calling comparison out. It is a toxic trap the enemy uses to keep you stuck, insecure, and distracted from the purposes God gave you. It's time to break up with what’s been silently controlling you. I’m sharing a real-life case study on David and Saul’s enemy-situationship & what happens when your identity is placed in the hands of others and not in Christ. Remember- God has given you tools in His word so you can give hell a hard time! I’m also getting personal about why I unfollowed everyone for a year on social media (I got a lot of dms about this), and my humbling high school track horror stories. What if Jesus felt near in every moment you’ve been silently envying someone else? What if comparison didn’t get the final say over your confidence, clarity, or calling? Let’s talk about it. Come break bread with me. WANT TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST? If today’s episode spoke to you and you’d like to be part of what God’s doing, you can give here.

Hey friends! Welcome to the first episode of the Breaking Bread Podcast! In this episode, I’m getting real about my walk with God. I’ll be opening up about what it’s looked like for me to move from just knowing about God to truly knowing Him — walking with Him, hearing Him, and letting Him into every part of my life. We’ll look at how Jesus’ relationship with the Father wasn’t distant or surface-level — it was close, intimate, and full of trust. I believe that same closeness is available to you and me, right now! What if Jesus felt near in everything you’re walking through? What if it felt like God lived with you? Let’s talk about it. Come break bread with me. WANT TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST?
