Ep. 13 Growing Pains | Why Growing Doesn't Always Feel Like Winning
29m · PublishedIn lieu of a guest, Whitney uses this week to share how God has been helping to shift her perspective around growth and its relationship to winning. This all started when God told her to take this year off from goal setting — something she would never have considered on her own. And through this no goals year, she’s learning exactly why she’s been so obsessed with goals in the first place.
Whitney recounts the three areas in her life that have been clear areas of growth over the last few years but have felt very humbling, uncomfortable, and very far from winning. She actually took some literal Ls.
Still, she encourages listeners to let the growth happen. She also advises that listeners understand the real implications of Romans 12:2 — be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Once you really understand this, you'll know you don't need a win to know your growth is worth it.

Ep 12. Already Done | How to End a Season with Awareness
28m · PublishedIn this episode, Whitney recounts her worst academic fear coming true; missing a college final. She uses this story to jumpstart a casual conversation around her feelings of unaccomplishment in the face of an ending season.
Instead of God dismissing her feelings, he walks her through a months-long journey showing her how her inability to recognize answered prayers and fulfilled promises is keeping her stuck in seasons that he wants to end. Whitney shares one of God’s biggest promises kept to date — a huge one—that took her over ten years to recognize.
Whitney’s hope is that listeners will take a look at their own life and notice the places where they’ve missed the hand of God and allow themselves to let seasons end and a fresh, new one to emerge.
“I was standing in the middle of a promise fulfilled and I missed it. How did I miss this?”

Ep. 11 Create Space with Shivawn Mitchell of SAM Studios
43m · PublishedIn this episode, Whitney sits down with award-winning filmmaker, producer, podcaster, author, and her homegirl, Shivawn Mitchell of SAM Studios, to talk about creativity and telling good stories.
Shivawn shares how she decided to take a leap of faith to pursue a career in film and the mindsets she had to release in order to truly lean into her creative calling.
She also shares why she produces the way she does and how we, as Christian creatives, have the freedom to tell the stories that matter to us and stories that are as layered as we all are.
"We diminish our value because we don't recognize that our stories exude the light. We're shining the light in the darkness, and that doesn't have to be super deep." - Shivawn Mitchell

Ep. 10 Girl v. Gifts | A Lesson on Self-Worth
40m · PublishedIn this episode, Whitney shares her earliest memory — a holiday gathering where she sings for her family for the first time. This memory represents the beginning of Whitney’s musical journey. It also represents the beginning of her struggles with her self-worth.

Ep 7: Go with God | How You Can Still Win the Decade
23m · PublishedIn this season’s final episode, Whitney walks through a time where she trusted gurus and business experts' voices over God’s voice causing her to hate the craft she once loved more than anything — photography. She even jokes about how they led her to take photos of babies, which was something she vowed to never do.
Whitney also recounts one of the hardest episodes she recorded this season; episode 3. Whitney calls that episode “raw” and “real” and discusses how it revealed to those closest to her just how unhappy she’d been for so many years. She also has an exciting update from that episode.
“I just know that God is committed to this vision for my life. And I know if He’s this committed to the vision for my life that He’s committed to yours as well. ”— Whitney Hall
Whitney goes on to talk about the importance of looking at the devastation of 2020 and remember that there's still a 90% chance of ‘winning’ this decade. She points out that in order to do that we must turn down the volume on all of the voices that aren’t God’s voice and commit to doing exactly what God says the way He says to do it.
To close this season, Whitney reminds listeners that she loves them and that she hopes they will take a chance with her and ‘Go with God’.

Ep 6: You Need Community with Courtney Butler + Detric James
35m · PublishedIn this episode, Whitney is joined by two of her best friends, Courtney and Detric, to sit down and talk about their journey to becoming friends and creating community.
“You have to start by being your authentic self. Otherwise, you’re going to attract people who are attracted to a person that doesn’t exist”
Detric and Courtney share why community has become such an important thing for them. Detric realized that he didn’t have anyone to share his authentic self with and Courtney realized that she wasn’t actually happy and that her friendships didn’t allow her to share her faith.
They also talk about how their growing ministry, which Detric leads, Becoming was a true test at first but ended up bringing even more people into their inner circle. Something they never expected.
Whitney and Detric journey through their lifetime dislike for each other that she equates to an “east coast/west coast beef” and how getting past that to become friends is proof that God put this together.
Courtney and Detric also share that the way to finding a friend is determining if you really want friends—especially Godly friends. Detric reminds us that friends don’t always tell us what we want to hear or make our life easier. And the three talk about how their friendship was really made in the times where they had to have those hard conversations with each other — something they called “medicine”.
The three best friends encourage listeners to pray for community and encourage them by admitting that they can’t imagine reaching this point in their purposes and lives without consistent love and community.

Ep 5: Start from the Bottom | The Blessing of Being a Beginner
15m · PublishedIn this episode, Whitney decides to have an off the cuff conversation about something she’s dealing with and has been talking about a lot with her friends lately — being a beginner. In fact, Whitney shares how being a beginner comes with some incredible blessings.
"I believe God had to make me a beginner again because for the most part I was leaning on me and I'd be like 'God I'll holla at you if I get lost'. But that's a really dangerous place to be."
Whitney is learning that starting from the bottom with God is better than trying to do it on her own. In fact, God’s guidance and daily presence is the biggest blessing because the word says that His strength is made perfect in weakness —2 Corinthians 12:9.
She also discovers a surprise blessing that just a year ago she would have thought was a serious curse.
This episode ends with Whitney encouraging everyone to not only be OK with being a beginner but to keep a beginner’s mindset even as they progress along.
There is so much blessing in being a beginner.
Merry Christmas, fam!
