Failing Loudly

Year-End Reflection: What Saying Yes Has Changed

In this final episode of the year, Brandon and I take time to reflect on what God has done through Failing Loudly — not just in the lives of listeners, but in our own hearts and home. We celebrate the stories we've heard from you — the conversations sparked, the healing begun, and the courage found in simply telling the truth. We also share vulnerably about how this podcast has changed us: the radical shifts in our marriage, the refinement of our character, and the quiet healing from a sneaky victim mentality we didn't realize we were carrying. This year stretched our trust in the Lord in ways we didn't expect — and strengthened our real-life, one-on-one conversations in ways we're deeply grateful for. We talk about what obedience has required, what it has produced, and how just saying "yes" has led to growth we couldn't have planned. We also give you a glimpse into what's ahead — the heart, vision, and plans for the coming year of Failing Loudly. Thank you for being part of this story. We can't wait to keep walking it with you. We'd love to hear from you at quiteathomecoach@gmail.com! [quiteathomecoach@gmail.com]

Healing, Truth-Telling, and The God Who Redeems | Amber Moran

Some stories feel too heavy to say out loud… but those are often the very places God wants to bring healing. This week, I sit down with pastor and author Amber Moran, who bravely shares her story of abortion, the shame that followed, and the way Jesus met her with compassion instead of condemnation. We talk about the power of telling the truth, how God restores our identity when shame tries to silence us, and how He uses our stories — even the painful ones — for His purpose. If you're carrying something you think disqualifies you, this episode is a reminder: your past doesn't get the final word — God does.

Cultural Integrity: Building a Church Culture Worth Trusting

Is the culture your church promotes the culture your team experiences? This week, Brandon and I talk about cultural integrity — making sure what people feel on Sunday morning matches what staff and volunteers feel on Monday afternoon. We talk about: • How to spot the symptoms of a culture that may lack consistency • Practical steps to course-correct and rebuild trust • What it looks like when your ministry's values are truly felt at every level This conversation is for every leader who wants the lived experience of their team to match the message they present to the world.

When Obedience Feels Like Failure | Brittanica Womelsdorf

What do you do when God asks you to lay down something you love — something you thought you were called to build? In this episode, I sit down with Brittanica Womelsdorf as she shares her story of God asking her and her husband to close the church they planted in the city they love. It's a story of obedience that didn't look like success, and of walking through grief, hopelessness, and surrender. But what looked like an ending was really the beginning of something new. Through their "yes" in the midst of heartbreak, God is weaving a story of redemption that's still unfolding. If you've ever felt like following God led you straight into loss or disappointment, this conversation will remind you — nothing surrendered to Him is ever wasted.

Money, Mindset, and Missional Living | Phil McMillan

Money touches everything — it's tied to our hearts, our obedience, and even our view of God. In this episode, I sit down with Phil McMillan — former financial advisor, executive pastor, and now part of Convoy of Hope's work with partnering churches — to talk about the roots of our money mindsets. We share our own struggles with scarcity thinking and how God has led him toward freedom and missional living. Phil unpacks the shifts that make financial tools actually sustainable, and we dive into the role money played in the church in Acts. More than anything, Phil challenges us to reflect on this question: when it comes to our resources, who is God asking you to become? If you've ever wrestled with fear, guilt, or striving around money, this conversation will invite you into a new way of operating — one rooted in God's abundance.
