WHOA That's Good Podcast

Alena (Pitts) Franklin is in-studio with Sadie to talk all about her brand-new devotional, what married life is really like one year in, and why she’s so passionate about cheering people on in their walk with God and learning who He is. Alena also opens up about losing her mom suddenly at a young age and the long journey of learning to trust God even when life feels unfair and heavy. She shares what it was like navigating fame so early after starring in War Room and what she hopes others can take from her story of faith, loss, and hope. Sadie can’t get enough of Alena’s joy and the fun that radiates from her socials, and the two bond over their shared calling to be a big sister to so many girls running after Jesus.

Baylee Rayl Christophel didn’t grow up dreaming about CrossFit—but sports were always in her blood. So how does a basketball player and collegiate golfer end up competing year after year at the CrossFit Games?  In this episode, Baylee chats with Sadie about her fitness journey, the moment her faith became everything, how she met her husband (who now competes right alongside her), and why she’s learned that success isn’t about winning—it’s about finishing strong.

You probably know Breanna Nix from her showstopping duet with Brandon Lake on the 2025 season of American Idol, but what you might not know is everything that led her to that Hollywood stage. Breanna opens up to Sadie about growing up in a broken home, not knowing her real dad, and the painful truth that sent her spiraling into rejection and shame. She gets real about being bound by food, how she rebuilt a healthy relationship with it in a way that honors God, and now coaches others to do the same. Sadie can’t wait to hear about Breanna’s now-viral moment with Carrie Underwood, who encouraged her about “just” being a stay-at-home mom. Plus, Breanna spills the tea on the crazy weeks leading up to her American Idol audition: fights with family and church leadership over whether she should even compete, almost passing on dating her now-husband, and how marriage and motherhood have completely changed the game. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Sadie presses pause on her maternity leave to pop back into the studio—with Christian—for some real-life updates and encouragement. Hospital visits, sickness, diapers … and that’s just Sadie! With kids getting sick too, a newborn in the house, and the chaos of adjusting to a family of five, life already feels like a lot. Add to that trying to process what’s happening in the world, and it can be hard to carry the weight of it all — at home and beyond. “I’m excited for this revival, but I’m exhausted,” is how Sadie felt initially. She shares what it’s like to wonder where she fits in this spiritual warfare, in the fight between good and evil, while still trying to keep her own heart and family intact. “We’re smiling now, but it was a very hard week.”  After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Sadie opens up about her fears, her worries, and what she ultimately had to do to keep going. She and Christian also talk about what hit them most at his memorial service — and why Erika Kirk’s presence (and what she said) was, honestly, next-level inspiring. By the end, Sadie is asking for one thing: uncontainable, invasive faith that spreads into every part of her heart and life - just like a mustard seed!  Chapters:  (00:00) So much has happened in the past 2 weeks (03:17) Post-LO Sister Conference 2025 (09:34) Adjusting to life with 3 kids (11:36) Watching Charlie Kirk's memorial (14:05) Good & evil & trying to balance it all (24:55) Revival is happening!

Jackie spills why she’ll never be a rom-com girlie, while Preston drops some solid advice for guys about to get married.

They also talk about the beauty of discipleship: what it is, and what it doesn’t have to be.

Sadie sits down with powerhouses Christine Caine and Lisa Harper for a raw, no-fluff convo about calling, burnout, ministry life, and what to do when you feel totally tapped out. They get real about how they started in ministry and what they wish more people knew before jumping into full-time ministry. Christine drops some major wisdom on why she spends so much time in her prayer closet: not to chase clout or follow a content strategy, but to actually hear from God on what she’s supposed to say and do.
