Be the Brave Ones
The official podcast of Brave Girls Gather! We are passionate about seeing women and girls grow closer to Jesus—and to each other. Our heart is to help the next generation make discipleship a way of life, not just a moment. We believe intergenerational relationships are a powerful force within God’s people, and we want to see them become the norm.
Our heartbeat is simple: Gather, Grow, Go. Gather — because we weren’t made to walk alone. Grow — letting Scripture shape you, not just inform you. Go — taking brave steps into discipleship, where transformation leads to multiplication.
Each episode is designed to equip you with practical tools and meaningful resources to live this out.

Jesus = Friend Series: Having a Friend in Jesus with Machelle Clark
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When you think of God, the first word that comes to mind might not be “friend.” But this is the word Jesus uses in John 15:15, when he tells His followers, “No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.” In this series, we're talking about what it means to have a friend in Jesus!
In this first episode, Lauren invited her friend Machelle Clark to help us kick off the series. Machelle showed Lauren what it looked like to follow Jesus when Lauren was in college.
Machelle has worked in campus ministry with The Navigators for almost 30 years but is currently the Pastoral Staff Care Leader at Cornerstone Church in Ames, IA. She has six children and six grandchildren, with another due this fall.
Machelle talks with Lauren & Mandie about what it looks like to have a friend in Jesus and how that friendship impacted her and Lauren's relationship.
