Busyness Is Not Faithfulness: Putting God First in Everyday Life
2026/10/19
Are you so busy doing things for God that you're missing time with Him? In this episode of Fed by the Fruit, host KB shares an honest look at how a full schedule can turn quiet time with God into another box to check. Drawing on Mary and Martha in Luke 10, Jesus' example of withdrawing to pray, and the teaching on abiding in Christ in John 15, she explores the difference between busyness and faithfulness—and between being productive and spiritually fruitful. With encouragement for busy Christian women, wives, and moms, KB offers reflective questions and everyday ways to prioritize prayer, practice stillness, seek God's direction, and invite Jesus into ordinary moments. This is a gentle invitation to choose relationship over religious routine, release the pressure to measure your worth by your productivity, and find rest in the One who produces lasting fruit.
This episode serves as both an informative guide to embrace a healthier, more balanced lifestyle, encouraging listeners to embark on their journeys with renewed vigor and compassion.

Jonah’s Story: Lessons on Obedience, Pride, and God’s Mercy
2026/10/12
What happens when we run from God’s calling and struggle to accept His mercy for others?

Whether you’re resisting what God is asking you to do or finding it difficult to extend compassion to others, Jonah’s story invites you to examine your heart and remember that God’s mercy reaches beyond our expectations. KB closes with October’s memory verse, Matthew 11:28, and Jesus’ invitation to find rest in Him.

When the Unthinkable Happens: Stephanie Meeker on Grief, Faith, and Surrender
2026/08/17
In this episode of Fed by the Fruit, KB sits down with faith-driven writer, teacher, and ministry leader Stephanie Meeker, author of the memoir When the Unthinkable Happens, whose life changed overnight in 2014 when her best friend Michelle was murdered by her estranged husband and Stephanie and her husband stepped in to raise Michelle's four children. Stephanie shares who Michelle really was — her contagious joy and the prayer life that shaped their friendship and walks through the day she drove to Michelle's house, the shock of identifying the suspect on video, the six-week trial two years later, and the nearly decade-long fight through foster care, social workers, a denied adoption, and a Virginia law they helped change so the children would not have to forfeit their inheritance to be adopted. Along the way she talks honestly about wrestling with God, journaling through grief when the pages stayed blank, the ministry of presence from friends who simply stayed, what not to say to someone who is grieving, and how Philippians 4:4-7 carried her from a season of desperation into a season of rejoicing. It's a raw, hope-filled conversation about surrender, community, and God's faithfulness when life turns out nothing like the life you prayed for.
Stephanie's book is available at StephanieMeeker.org, and she and KB are both speaking at Legacy of Her on September 24th in Manassas, Virginia.

The Prophet Elijah: Faith, Fire, and the Still Small Voice of God
2026/08/10
In this deep-dive episode of Fed by the Fruit, host KB unpacks the powerful story of Elijah, one of the most significant prophets in all of Scripture.

KB also explores Elijah's very human season of fear, discouragement, and depression — and how God met him not in the wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a gentle, still small voice. It's a heartfelt reminder that God faithfully meets our physical and spiritual needs, uses us mightily even in our weakness, and is always doing a new thing (Isaiah 43:19). Come hungry, get fed.
This episode serves as both an informative guide to embrace a healthier, more balanced lifestyle, encouraging listeners to embark on their journeys with renewed vigor and compassion.

This Isn’t the Life I Prayed For: Finding Hope in Job with Tami Nantz
2026/07/20
In this episode of Fed by the Fruit, host KB is joined by Bible teacher and author Tami Nantz (This Isn’t the Life I Prayed For) for an honest, hope-filled conversation about the book of Job and what it means to trust God when life doesn’t make sense. Together, they talk about suffering and God’s silence, why Job never gets an explanation, and how Scripture models bringing your doubts and questions to God, messy and unfiltered, because God can handle it. If you’re in a difficult season (or walking alongside someone who is), this episode offers biblical encouragement to keep showing up, deepen your trust, and remember that God’s silence is not the same as God’s absence.
