About this listen

In today’s episode, Kelsey and Maddy unpack what it looks like to be a Christian in a secular — and sometimes toxic — environment. If you’ve ever questioned why God would place you in a setting that feels spiritually void or outright hostile, this conversation will help you see your placement as divine, not accidental.

We explore how to remain grounded, faithful, and purposeful — even when your surroundings feel anything but holy.

📜 Scriptures Covered:

Jeremiah 29:7 – “Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile…” God calls us to bless the places we feel displaced.

Daniel 6:4 – The administrators tried to find fault in Daniel’s conduct, but found none. He was trustworthy, without corruption or negligence — a model for integrity in corrupt systems.

1 Peter 3:16 – “When you’re slandered, your good conscience will shame those who falsely accuse your behavior in Christ.” This verse urges us to live honorably and be prepared to explain our faith with gentleness, even in criticism.

Acts 24:16 – “So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.” A reminder that inner integrity matters more than outer approval.

Colossians 3:23–24 – “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters...” Your boss may sign the checks, but Christ signs the purpose.

Proverbs 4:23 – “Guard your heart above all else...” Not everything deserves access to your inner world.

Psalm 57:6 – “My enemies have set a trap for me...but they themselves have fallen into it.” What was meant to destroy you becomes the pit they fall into.

This episode will inspire you to:

Rethink the pain of placement as the purpose of preparation

Show up with excellence, even when unappreciated

Protect your heart while still staying present

Let your integrity speak louder than your opinions

And see toxic environments as temporary assignments, not eternal identities
