Prodigal Peas in a Pod

You walk into a room and instantly feel your mood shift, and you're not sure why. What's going on there? Brooke and Denise explore how our spaces are doing more to us than we realize, why certain environments drain us without us noticing, and what it actually looks like to create a home that supports how you want to feel. Your home is not only where you live, but it's also part of how you feel.  ...

Have you ever done something just for fun and immediately felt guilty about it? Like you should be doing something more productive? Brooke and Denise talk about why adulthood has a way of squeezing the play right out of us and why reclaiming hobbies isn't a waste of time. Your soul doesn't just need rest. It also needs play!   @MisfitofCreation-SoulFood and @BlueprintHMC have merged to create this...

Have you ever heard a song or smelled something and suddenly felt 10 years old again and wondered why it hit you so hard? Brooke and Denise dig into what nostalgia is actually doing underneath the surface, why it feels so grounding when life gets chaotic, and what it might be reconnecting you to.

What if the pressure to get God's will right is actually getting in the way of following Him? Brooke and Denise get honest about the fear underneath big decisions — the overthinking, the waiting for a sign that never feels clear enough, and the exhaustion of trying to stay perfectly aligned. They dig into whether God's will is really as fragile as we've made it out to be and what it looks like to...

Have you ever had a thought and wondered, "Was that me or was that the Holy Spirit?" Brooke and Denise get into the very real experience of not always being able to tell the difference and why that confusion might actually be a sign of growth. What if we approached it differently? What if the focus isn't so much about hearing a separate voice but more about recognizing His heart?   @MisfitofCreati...

Have you ever noticed a change in your prayers? Ones that used to be bold and direct have gotten more layered, more careful. Is it growth? Is it wisdom? Or is it self-protection dressed up in thoughtful language? Join Brooke and Denise as they explore what happens when life experience, unanswered prayers, and hard-earned empathy start reshaping the way we talk to God.   @MisfitofCreation-SoulFood...

This episode has a Cinco de Mayo airing date, one co-host who is half Mexican, and a very important question: can we wear the sombreros or not? What started as a lighthearted debate turned into a real conversation about cultural appropriation, accents, intent vs. impact, and how relationship changes everything. You won't always get it right, but you can care enough to notice.   @MisfitofCreation-S...

What's the difference between genuinely trusting God's timing and simply tolerating it? Denise and Brooke share what's underneath the struggle for them on this topic. Things like fears of being forgotten, losing control, or never getting clarity, and how prolonged waiting can quietly shift the tone of our relationship with God, turning prayer into information-gathering rather than connection. Trus...

Making progress and growing more is always a good feeling. But what if we're not where we think we are?

We all have moments where we catch ourselves being a little too serious In this episode, Brooke and Denise explore why we tend to grip so tightly to our own image and how self-compassionate humor can actually be a form of resilience.

From time to time, we can all lose sight of what really matters, what brings us joy. Join Brooke and Denise as they talk about the "little things" in their lives that they appreciate so much and the effect they have when they focus on those things rather than the chaos life throws at them.   @MisfitofCreation-SoulFood and @BlueprintHMC have merged to create this awesome podcast - Prodigal Peas in...

“Boundaries are biblical”… but what if that’s not the whole question? In this episode of Prodigal Peas in a Pod, we step into the tension many of us feel but rarely name: when does a boundary come from wisdom and love and when does it come from fear, control, or self-protection dressed up as maturity? We talk about why some boundaries feel righteous but leave us hardened, how forgiveness complicat...
