Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWhat happens when the role you loved ends overnight—and you’re left asking who you are now? We invited Kaylee Harvey to share how an 18-year athletic journey closed just two weeks after she surrendered her life to Jesus, and how that collision reshaped identity, boundaries, and purpose from the ground up. The story isn’t tidy. It’s honest, funny, and piercing, moving from bedrest and Bible pages to bold faith in everyday places.Together we walk through the difference between performing for approval and living from secure identity in Christ. Kaylee opens up about grief after losing her mom, the “colorful” prayers that God welcomed, and the relief of learning we don’t need to be perfect—just committed. We unpack practical ways to “leave people without an excuse” about who Jesus is: visible habits at home, quiet integrity at work, refusing gossip, wise limits around indulgence, and small invitations that outlast arguments. One teammate’s ask changed her eternity; now she encourages us not to say no for people, but to keep a seat open and keep asking.We also step back to the creation story—God defining good, people made in His image, and why true diversity belongs in the church beyond race into age, class, and story. Identity, justice, discipleship, and vocation connect here: ministry isn’t a title, it’s wherever you’re placed. Teachers, officers, parents, students—everyone carries influence. If your platform vanished tomorrow, who would you be? Rooted in Christ, you’re still seen, secure, and sent. Press play for a candid, hope-filled guide to rebuilding your life on the One who doesn’t shake.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help more people find these conversations.
