Hey friend, I am glad you are here. In this episode Ricki and Darlene share real, relatable stories about prayer, spiritual warfare, and learning to let the Holy Spirit guide your words, attitude, and responses. If the holidays or daily chaos have you wound up, this conversation is a warm reminder to stop, kneel, breathe, and trust that God is working all things together for good. We talk about Romans 8:28, which says, God works all things together for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose. We also walk through the full armor of God from Ephesians 6:10 to 18, which says Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Stand firm then with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. We share stories about praying through chaos, answered prayers in unexpected places, staying calm when life gets messy, teaching children to pray early, and how the Holy Spirit gives peace and words when you feel unprepared. You will also hear personal moments about spiritual warfare, learning to be set apart, and trusting God step by step. Here is an awesome worship song called “Garments” by Brooke Ligertwood.

Hey friends — it’s Ricki and Riley here to encourage you to grab your Bible and make it part of your daily rhythm. Start simple: read a Proverb a day or dive into John’s Gospel, pray before you begin, and jot down a note or prayer as you go. We both share what’s worked for us over the years. We begin this episode by reading Deuteronomy 17:19: “And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, by keeping all the words of this law and these statutes, and doing them.” This was an instruction Moses gave to Israel’s future kings — but it applies to us today too! Read your Bible daily, keep God’s Word close, and live it out. How cool is that? We also look at Joshua 1:8, where God reminds us that walking in His Word brings success and blessing. God is so good to us! Make it real in your life — invite your kids to join in, journal in the margins, and don’t stress if you miss a day. God’s Word speaks into everything — wisdom, worry, joy — and He meets you in those small, daily moments. So pick up your Bible today, ask God to show you something new, and go out and broadcast His love — one page, one prayer at a time. Listen to more episodes at broadcasthislove.com.

God's word says, whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. We pray this episode is an encouragement to you to go out and use your position to broadcast His love. From Scotto Albritton Studios, here's your host, Ricki. Hey, everyone, and welcome to Broadcast His Love. This is a podcast where we talk about what life looks like when we decrease our name and increase God's name, because it's all about Jesus living life on purpose with Him. And I'm so excited for today's conversation. It feels like this conversation is a seed that was planted about five years ago that is now budding and it has petals and it's a beautiful color of flower. And now we're just going to get to enjoy God's goodness of what he's grown. Kylie Bensley is on today. She's been a friend of mine for a while. We met at a Dave Ramsey conference with Christy Wright with the Business Boutique. She is the founder and CEO of Suli Nu, which is a nutrition-based company for cosmetic surgery. And so we're going to learn all about this company that she has founded and she's the CEO of and just what the Lord is doing through it. So how are you, Kylie? Ricki, it's so great. So wonderful that we get to chat because this has been, you are one of the few people that you've seen the whole journey of this. And so it's interesting that now we get to talk five years later. Yes, I mean. Five years later, like what is the Lord doing through your business? Oh, my goodness. Well, I have to say, I always say entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart because I always thought motherhood was the hardest. And I feel like entrepreneurship trumps that because you're challenged every single day in your character and in every single way, shape or form, you're challenged every day. So it's just been like this amazing journey of trying to, you know, figure out yourself, right? While you're trying to be successful. Yeah, I definitely get refined doing business. The wording that I use about entrepreneurship is entrepreneurship is not for wussies. There's no way that you can. Oh, man. And the refinement that takes place in owning a business that the Lord just every single day is like refining and taking off large chunks. Like he's, you know, the whole, the John 15 story about I'm the vine, you're the branches and he's taking out the dead vines to grow new vines. Like that is every 15 minutes when you run a business, right? Every day, every single day. And I always, I'm always, I tell my husband, now I'm not crying every day. I'm just crying every other day, you know? And then, and then I just talk about the resilience that you, you learn, you learn such resilience. Things don't bother you as much. You learn how to bounce back. You learn how to fail every day. Yeah. You know, you just learn all these skills that really no, nothing else teaches you, you know? It's true. So it's, yeah, it's incredible. Okay. Tell us about what you do. Like what is Suli Nu? Yeah. So Suli Nu, so what we say is, you know, every woman wants a beautiful recovery from plastic surgery, but they never know what to eat or what supplements to take in order to have a beautiful incision and a beautiful recovery. And they're always overwhelmed as to what to choose. But SuliNu gives you all the tools you need from nutritional tools in order to have a beautiful incision and a better recovery from cosmetic surgery. With our meal plans, our dietitian curated meal plans, and our clinically backed supplement, we are giving women a stronger, faster recovery from surgery. Okay. So it's like a kit, correct? So we get, so yeah, so we have a kit, which is, we have, it's two bags of our before and after, which is our Nutri-Surgical vitamin powder. And that is everything you need. It's eight products in one. So you're not vitamin stacking, and you're not having the risk of vitamin overdosing. Everything is in one simple scoop. And you start taking that one simple scoop before and after surgery. And then we pair it with what you eat because everything that you eat in your perioperative period is going to affect your skin, your incision, your healing, how fast you recover. And so we give them meal plans about what to eat and what to eat before and after surgery. Okay. And so we sell them in kits and we have two of them. We have three of them actually, but we have it for facial surgery. So anything neck and above and then neck and below low for body surgeries because those are two different type of surgeries. And so we have different meal plans for the two different types of surgeries. I just love how, how many, if you go to Kylie's Instagram, there's like doctors all over this. I mean, and you're a dietician too. So, I mean, you're no spring chicken to eating healthy and what people need and don't need, right? Yeah. I mean, everything we put in our body is going to affect our skin, our teeth, You know, our digestive system, it's going to affect everything we do. But we've never learned like how that works for, surgery outside of being in the hospital, right? In the hospital, we have a whole team. We have a whole team of dieticians and nurses and surgeons who are making sure that you're having all the nutrition you need for surgery. That's in the hospital. But when you have cosmetic surgery, people look at it like it's an elective surgery and it's not as important. But we know that it is just as important and you're paying cash, right? Most people are paying cash. You have a lot of money on the line. It's very important. There's still a lot of risks involved. It's just as risky as other surgeries, right? And so we have to take that into account when you go home. We have to make it just as serious and treating you just as seriously as if you're in the hospital having surgery, which is, I think, what we've called it equity for elective surgeries. So they demand, And we like I just have a kind of my soapbox is women deserve and should demand equal care for any type of surgery outside the hospital, including cosmetic surgeries. Yeah, because there's a lot of risk involved. I mean, I've never seen anything like this online. I mean, I've known you for five years and I remember when you wanted to launch this. So we I feel like we should share the story about being at the business boutique and both having dreams in our hearts of like wanting to do something and just like waiting for the Lord to really chisel down what that thing is. And I mean, this was it. This was it then. And this is it now. Right. Yeah. It took five years. It definitely took it took a solid five years to launch it. And but I don't regret it because you know right right before we met then I had a contract with a surgeon and we were going to be partners COVID shut that down and that was the first of like thousands of dollars that I lost because I lost four thousand dollars just in that breaking agreement but um but he broke which is fine because we're friends and it was fabulous but he broke off from that agreement and so I was on my own and then I was a friend of a friend and said, Hey, you could call her and she can give you advice. So I called this woman. I had no idea who she was. I, after she spent an hour with me, I sent her a thank you card and a gift card. I found out that she had been a part. Oh my goodness. MTV, Dr. Wells, Martha Stewart, Condé Nast Day, Travel, New York Times. Like she had been involved in all of those companies. And then once I sent her a thank you note, she sent me an email and basically sent me like three names of these very high level designers. Yeah. And people who knew how to launch big businesses. So they came. So then these women came from Nutrafol and Lady Gaga and. J-Lo. And that's where they came from. And they wanted to help me launch my business. And so it's amazing. And so all of that, like the failure of the surgeon had to happen in order to reach out to this woman. And, and then the floodgates just opened after that. And so that's why it took so long is because these women really just loved the concept of it. And they just invested in it as if there was their own company. And so that when you deal with that level of team, It just takes a really long time. And manufacturing. I mean, manufacturing probably took me two and a half years, like just to find the right manufacturer, you know? So I mean, this is your product. Yeah. I mean, I wrote the formula and then I pass it on to a dietician and he does this for a living. Like he develops formulas for big companies. So he does a lot of big names as well. And so I happened to find him like through four other people. And he is just like this, you would just never guess it. Like you would just never, ever, ever guess that he does this for big companies. So he refined it. And then he helped me find, and then we added in patented. We wanted it to be as clinically solid as possible. So we added in five patented ingredients, which patented ingredient for a supplement to me has been, it just holds so much more weight than third party testing. Now, that's what I professionally believe. So we, he got these, these patented products and then he found a manufacturer and it was from there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Long ride. Long ride. But so worth it. Because I mean, this is so put together. It's so great. And I love what you're doing. I mean, it's very niche. You know, this is yeah, meal planning. This is post-op, you know, this is plasti
