The Traditional Millennial

Have we become so consumed with ourselves that we've lost the ability to recognize what truly holds value? From the decline of shared cultural experiences like award shows and major sporting events to shifting standards in parenting, relationships, and personal accountability, something has changed in how we define and appreciate what matters. In this episode of The Traditional Millennial , we...

The history of the Black Church is undeniable, but does it have to dictate its future? In this episode of The Traditional Millennial , we're discussing race, division, and unity within the Church, while challenging the culture of profiting from oppression and calling people out for clicks. Are we genuinely pursuing reconciliation, or have we become more invested in the conversation than the so...

Authenticity has become a major value in Christian spaces, especially among artists and ministers. We’re encouraged to be vulnerable, relatable, and willing to let people see the person behind the platform. But can our pursuit of authenticity ever become too important? After hearing an interpretation of Lazarus in John 12, I went back to the passage for myself and found myself questioning whether...

In this episode, I reconsider a stance I once held about the role of public debate in engaging those outside the Christian faith. Looking at Paul’s reasoning in Athens alongside Scripture’s warnings against quarrels, contention, and unnecessary provocation, I wrestle with the difference between defending the faith and simply fighting to win an argument. Scripture clearly gives believers room to re...

Death is something we know is inevitable, yet knowing that doesn’t always make it easier to understand, accept, or reconcile with our faith. In this episode of The Traditional Millennial , Brittany wrestles openly with some of the questions that can surface when death comes close: Was this really God’s will? Could it have been prevented? Why this person? Why now? And how do we trust God while admi...

In light of the heartbreaking conflict unfolding in the Middle East, many believers are wrestling with taking sides. They are also wrestling with the question: Who is the real Biblical Israel? Is Israel simply a modern nation and a place on the map, or does the Bible describe something completely different from what we want to hold true? In this episode, we are wrestling with those questions to ex...

In this episode of The Traditional Millennial , Brittany takes a Christ-centered, unapologetic look at politics, culture, and the spiritual condition of our nation. This is not a conversation about parties, personalities, or platforms. It’s a conversation about allegiance. What happens when believers start seeing politics through a spiritual lens instead of a cultural one? What does it mean to vot...

Are we really just talking about a dress or are we talking about something deeper? In this episode, I step back from the noise to explore the bigger picture: witness, intention, scripture, and how believers navigate visibility, influence, and discernment. This isn’t about one outfit or one moment, but about the principles and perspectives we apply when conversations like this surface within the Ch...

Why do we keep some relationships private and others secret? In this episode of The Traditional Millennial , we unpack the subtle but critical difference between protecting something sacred and hiding something questionable. While privacy can be rooted in wisdom, peace, and intentional growth, secrecy often reveals conviction, fear, or avoidance of truth. This conversation isn’t just about romance...

In this episode, we’re taking a hard, honest look at identity. And not the identity we present to the world, but the one our lives actually prove . We often describe ourselves with words that feel good. But when real life stretches us, challenges us, or exposes us…is there evidence that those traits are truly in us? In today’s conversation, we’re unpacking: the gap between self-perception and real...

In this episode, Brittany dives deep into the weight of false guilt—the kind you were never meant to carry. Through Scripture, reflection, and real-world insight, she exposes how manipulation and gaslighting distort truth and shift blame, often leaving us burdened by someone else’s actions. Learn how to recognize false guilt, release it, and walk in the freedom and peace that God intended for you.

There has been so much going on, that it weighs on the hearts of those who hate to see tragedy strike. And although, a lot of us are just another voice amongst so many, one can’t help but express how heartbreaking it is watching how easy it’s become for so many not to feel. In this new episode, Brittany reflects on the death of Charlie Kirk and what it reveals about compassion, consistency, and ac...

Send us a text Who we give our bodies to matters. It matters to our mental, physical, and emotional health, but most importantly, it matters to God. Did you know that how we use our bodies will determine how we can and will be used by God? The Bible tells us to present our bodies as living sacrifices. If we continue to give our bodies to others to use, defile, and bind us, in an unfruitful way, wh...

Send us a text The famous quote by Abraham Joshua Heschel, “words create worlds," is an undeniable, powerful truth. When we circle back to the beginning of time, as we know it, it was words that called everything out of nothing to give us the world we have today. Therefore, not only are words powerful, they are necessary. But what if our need to use certain words muddies the true meaning of t...
