God is calling His people to take their faith seriously — and this call is not rooted in fear, but in love, urgency, and truth.

In this episode of Rise and Shine, Haylee shares a timely message about moving beyond casual, comfortable Christianity and stepping into deeper prayer, obedience, and boldness in sharing the Gospel. Trusting God is easy when everything makes sense — but true faith is built when we trust Him even when we cannot see what He’s doing.

We talk about why borrowed faith is not enough. We cannot rely on our pastor’s faith, our parents’ faith, or someone else’s relationship with God. God is calling each believer into personal intimacy through prayer and His Word.

This episode also reflects on how past generations prioritized prayer and Scripture, and how God is stirring hearts today — across generations — to return to reverence, depth, and seriousness in following Jesus. The Great Commission was never meant for just a few — it applies to every believer.

• Why God is calling His people to deeper faith right now

• How casual Christianity weakens spiritual discernment

• Why trusting God must go beyond what we can see

• Why borrowed faith is not enough

• How prayer and Scripture strengthen faith

• Why every believer is called to share the Gospel

• What biblical revival looks like

God is calling His people to wake up, go deeper, and take their faith seriously — because truth matters, time is short, and the world needs Jesus.

What You’ll Learn:Key Scriptures Mentioned:Main Takeaway:

In 2 Corinthians chapters 3 and 4, the apostle Paul explains the powerful transformation that takes place when someone truly encounters Jesus. Veils are lifted, hearts are changed, and lives begin to reflect God’s glory.

In this episode of Rise and Shine, Haylee walks through 2 Corinthians 3–4 and breaks down three key truths for believers:

First, we explore why people who don’t know Jesus often struggle to understand Scripture. Without Christ, spiritual understanding remains veiled — but when someone turns to the Lord, clarity, freedom, and life are revealed.

Next, we are reminded that the glory is not ours. Any transformation, wisdom, or fruit we see is the work of God, not human effort. We are jars of clay carrying a treasure that points back to Him.

Finally, we talk about what it means to reflect God’s glory and love to others. As believers, we are meant to live in such a way that others see Jesus through our humility, love, perseverance, and faith — even in suffering.

This episode encourages listeners to stay focused on Christ, rely on the Spirit, and live as reflections of God’s light in a dark world.

• Why unbelievers often don’t understand God’s Word

• What it means to have the veil removed through Christ

• How the Spirit brings true transformation

• Why the glory belongs to God alone

• What it means to be a “jar of clay” carrying God’s power

• How believers reflect God’s glory and love daily

• Why weakness is often where God shines brightest

2 Corinthians 3–4
2 Corinthians 3:14–18
2 Corinthians 4:6–7
Matthew 5:16
John 13:34–35

When we turn to Jesus, the veil is lifted. Our lives are no longer about our own glory — they are meant to reflect the glory, love, and light of Christ to the world.

What You’ll Learn:Key Scriptures Mentioned:Main Takeaway:

Have you ever felt lonely because of your faith? Left out, misunderstood, or even rejected because you chose to follow Jesus?

In this episode of Rise and Shine, Haylee talks about what it means to be set apart as a believer — and why obedience to God can sometimes feel isolating. While being set apart isn’t always easy, it is always for our good and God’s glory.

We explore how God calls His people to live differently, not to blend in with the world, but to shine as a light so others can see Christ through us. And while the enemy tries to use loneliness to discourage us and pull us off mission, Scripture reminds us that we are never truly alone.

Using the powerful examples of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, this episode shows how choosing obedience over comfort may cost us worldly approval — but it brings God’s presence, protection, and peace. From the fiery furnace to the lions’ den, God proved that He stays with those who honor Him.

This episode also offers practical encouragement for building godly community when loneliness sets in and reminds you that choosing Jesus is always worth it — even when it costs you relationships, comfort, or popularity.

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What it truly means to be set apart as a Christian

• Why believers are called to be different from the world

• Why obedience can sometimes feel lonely

• How the enemy uses isolation to discourage believers

• Why the world often rejects those who walk in the light

• How God never leaves His people when they choose Him

• Lessons from Daniel and his friends about faith and courage

• Practical ways to find godly community and encouragement

📖 Key Scriptures:

Leviticus 20:261 Peter 2:9John 15:19Romans 8:5–11Daniel 1, 3, and 6

✨ Main Takeaway:

Being set apart may feel lonely at times, but you are never abandoned. God walks with you through every fire and every den — and He is faithful to those who choose obedience over comfort.
