Ep. 94 When the World Shifts: A Call to Bold Faith in the New Year

About this episode

Cryssie reflects on a past moment of grief and spiritual awakening, encouraging listeners to embrace bold faith as they enter the new year.

In this New Year kickoff episode of the Braided Faith Podcast, I’m opening the mic with a messy bun, a full heart, and a moment I’ve held onto for far too long. At the end of 2025, I recorded a raw, unedited solo episode in the days following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This was an event that stirred grief, questions, and a deep spiritual awakening across the country. I never felt released to share it… until now. As we step into a new year, I’m revisiting that moment not to dwell on tragedy, but to remember the shift so many of us felt…….a stirring toward courage, truth, revival, and boldness in our faith. This episode is a reminder to keep that momentum alive: to speak truth in love, to stand firm in wisdom, and to choose obedience over fear, even when it costs us relationships, comfort, or approval. What follows is the untouched recording from that week, a glimpse into my heart in real time, and an invitation for you to carry the same fire into 2026.
