It's easy to love people who are kind, encouraging, and make us feel welcome. But what happens when the person God calls us to love is the very person who tests our patience the most? In Episode 61 of Y’all... Listen Here, Barbie, Therese, and Traci tackle a challenge many Christians face but few openly discuss: loving the difficult people sitting right beside us in church. How do we extend grace to someone who is critical, arrogant, inconsiderate, or constantly stirring up conflict? How do we respond with Christlike love when someone makes it incredibly difficult to do so? And where do we draw the line between showing grace and establishing healthy boundaries? Join the ladies for an honest, heartfelt conversation about navigating difficult relationships within the church, choosing compassion over frustration, and remembering that we're all imperfect people in need of God's grace. Because loving others isn't always about how they treat us. Sometimes, it's about how faithfully we reflect Christ when loving them is hardest.

God doesn't just ask us to love our neighbors. He commands us to. But what does that really look like in our everyday lives? In Episode 60 of Y’all... Listen Here, Barbie, Therese, and Traci explore one of God's most powerful instructions: to love our neighbors and care for the least of these. Who are the people Jesus is calling us to serve? How do we recognize someone in need, especially when their struggles aren't obvious? And in a world where we're constantly stretched thin, how do we find the time, energy, and compassion to show up for others? Join the ladies for a heartfelt conversation about looking beyond ourselves, recognizing opportunities to serve, and allowing God's love to flow through us in ways that truly make a difference. Because loving your neighbor isn't just something we're called to believe in. It's something we're called to do. Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

This week on Y’all Listen Here, Barbie Bassett and Therese Apel are joined by special guest Gary Maze for a conversation that asks a challenging question: Are we raising Christian kids, or are we simply raising good kids? There’s a difference between teaching children to be polite, responsible, successful, and kind, and teaching them what it means to genuinely know and follow Christ. Barbie, Therese, and Gary dig into what faith looks like beyond good behavior, church attendance, and knowing the right answers. They talk about modeling an authentic relationship with Christ at home, helping kids develop a faith of their own, and why raising “good kids” may be a worthy goal, but it isn’t the same thing as raising disciples. It’s an honest conversation about parenting, faith, and what we’re really preparing the next generation for.   Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

It’s easy to post a Bible verse, share an inspirational quote, or talk about faith online. But does the Christianity we present on social media match the way we actually live when no one is watching?   In Episode 57 of Y’all Listen Here, Barbie Bassett, Therese Apel, and Traci Lee take an honest look at the difference between displaying our faith and living it.   The ladies discuss what it means to authentically follow Christ beyond our posts, profiles, and public image. How do we treat people when there’s no audience? Do our words, attitudes, relationships, and choices reflect the same faith we’re willing to share online? And when they don’t, how do we recognize it without falling into judgment or hypocrisy ourselves?   It’s a candid conversation about authenticity, accountability, grace, and what it really looks like to live out our faith both online and in everyday life.   Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

Social media keeps us connected, informed, entertained, and constantly scrolling. But what is all that noise doing to our relationship with God?   In Episode 56 of Y’all Listen Here, Barbie Bassett, Therese Apel, and Traci Lee take an honest look at the role social media plays in our faith. Can these platforms be powerful tools for encouragement, community, and sharing the Gospel, or are comparison, distraction, negativity, and the pressure for approval quietly pulling our attention away from what matters most?   The ladies explore how our online habits can influence our thoughts, relationships, priorities, and spiritual lives, and ask an important question: Are we using social media as a tool, or is social media using us?   It’s a timely conversation about protecting our peace, being intentional about what we consume, and keeping God at the center in a world designed to compete for our attention.   Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

In Episode 54 of Y’all... Listen Here, Barbie, Tracie, and Therese talk about simple, intentional ways to honor God throughout the busyness of everyday life.

Join the gals as they discuss the enemy’s hidden agenda, the importance of staying aware, and the escape route God provides that leads us straight back to Him. Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

Just because something feels comfortable doesn’t mean it brings peace. And just because something is uncomfortable doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path. In Episode 51 of Y’all... Listen Here, Barbie Bassett and Therese Apel sit down with Amanda Johansson to explore the difference between peace and comfort, and why confusing the two can keep us from following where God is leading. Comfort often tells us to stay where things are familiar, predictable, and safe. Peace can exist even when life feels uncertain, difficult, or completely outside our control. Sometimes the decision that brings the deepest peace is also the one that requires the most courage. Together, Barbie, Therese, and Amanda talk about discerning between the desire to avoid discomfort and the genuine peace that comes from trusting God. They explore what it looks like to move forward in faith when circumstances are messy, the outcome isn’t guaranteed, and the easier choice is to stay exactly where you are. Because God’s peace isn’t always found in the absence of difficulty. Sometimes it’s found right in the middle of it. Join us for Episode 51 of Y’all... Listen Here: Peace or Comfort? Learning to Know the Difference.   Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

What if one of the biggest things standing between you and the life God is calling you to isn’t fear, failure, or even temptation, but comfort? In Episode 50 of Y’all... Listen Here, Barbie Bassett and Therese Apel sit down with Amanda Johansson for a powerful conversation about the idol no one talks about: comfort. Comfort isn’t inherently bad. We all want security, stability, and a life that feels manageable. But what happens when protecting our comfort becomes more important than following God? When we avoid the difficult conversation, resist the uncomfortable calling, stay where we’ve outgrown, or choose what feels safe over what requires faith? Amanda, Barbie, and Therese unpack the subtle ways comfort can take control of our decisions and keep us from stepping into growth, obedience, and purpose. They explore the difference between receiving God’s comfort and making personal comfort the goal of our lives. This conversation challenges a question worth asking: Have we become so committed to being comfortable that we’re unwilling to be inconvenienced by what God is asking us to do? Sometimes faith requires stepping away from what is familiar, safe, and easy. And sometimes the very thing we’re desperately trying to protect is the thing keeping us from becoming who God is calling us to be. Join us for Episode 50 of Y’all... Listen Here: The Idol No One Talks About: Comfort. Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

The conversation continues. In Part 2, Barbie Bassett, Traci Lee, and special guest Gary Maze dive deeper into one of the most important questions every believer should ask: Is my faith anchored in Jesus Christ, or have I confused Christian culture with authentic discipleship? Together, they discuss why this distinction has eternal significance, how cultural Christianity can create a false sense of security, and what Scripture teaches about truly knowing Christ. This episode is a thoughtful challenge to examine your heart, strengthen your faith, and pursue a genuine relationship with the Savior rather than simply following religious traditions. If you’ve ever wondered what authentic faith really looks like, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

What if one of the most familiar passages in the Bible is also one of the most misunderstood? In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Barbie Bassett and Traci Lee are joined by special guest Gary Maze, filling in for Therese, to unpack Jesus’ chilling warning: “I never knew you.” Together, they explore the difference between knowing about Jesus and truly knowing Him. Is your faith built on a genuine relationship with Christ, or has it quietly become rooted in Christian culture, traditions, or appearances? This honest conversation invites listeners to examine the foundation of their faith and consider what it really means to follow Jesus.   Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

If God is good and wants good things for us, why does it sometimes feel like He’s subtracting from our lives? Barbie Bassett, Therese Apel, and Traci Lee explore seasons of loss, change, and letting go—and how God may use what He removes to protect us, prepare us, and make room for something deeper. If you’ve ever struggled to trust God when life feels like it’s shrinking, this honest conversation is for you. Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

Setting boundaries isn’t unloving, it’s often an act of faithful stewardship. In Episode 45 of Y’all… Listen Here, Barbie Bassett, Therese Apel, and Traci Lee tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in Christian life: boundaries. Does following Christ mean always saying “yes”? Is protecting your peace selfish? How do you love others well without allowing yourself to be repeatedly hurt or taken advantage of? Through an honest, faith-centered conversation, the hosts explore the difference between grace and enabling, forgiveness and reconciliation, and compassion and unhealthy self-sacrifice. They discuss why healthy boundaries are not barriers to love, but tools that help us steward the relationships, responsibilities, and lives God has entrusted to us. Whether you’re struggling with difficult family dynamics, friendships, workplace relationships, or learning to say “no” without guilt, this episode offers biblical encouragement and practical wisdom to help you walk in love while honoring the healthy boundaries God calls us to establish. Join Barbie, Therese, and Traci for a conversation that reminds us that protecting your God-given purpose is not unloving, it’s wise stewardship.
