Still Coloring with Toni Collier: Recent Episodes
Ivey Media Podcasts
We’ve believed the lie that our brokenness discounts us from creating and living beautiful lives for far too long. When it’s really our brokenness that leads us to surrender to the Creator of the most beautiful things.
Are you ready to begin again? To heal the childhood wounds that may have robbed you of the ability to create beauty? To feel seen and known in your brokenness, maybe for the first time?
In the Still Coloring podcast, author, speaker, and founder of Broken Crayons Still Color, Toni Collier, invites you to lean into the stories of women and men that uncover their brokenness and practically show how they rebuilt their lives with hope and grit.
Toni hopes that you would be inspired, poured into, and walk away believing that you too can create something beautiful with your life, no matter what.
As we kick off Season 10 of the Still Coloring Podcast, we're opening the book of Nehemiah to discover a powerful truth: God doesn't just rebuild walls... He rebuilds people.
In this episode, Toni shares three biblical principles for rebuilding your life with moxie and resilience:
• Stop mourning what was without abandoning what could be.
• Rebuild one brick at a time.
• Protect what God is rebuilding.
If you've been wondering whether healing is still possible for you, let this be your reminder that your story isn't over. God is still in the business of restoration, and even if all you see is rubble today, He knows how to build something beautiful from it.
Your broken crayons still color.
Scripture: Nehemiah 1–4

What do you pray when life feels dry, dark, exhausting, and uncertain?
In this special Fifth Wednesday episode of the Still Coloring Podcast, Toni invites you to slow down, breathe, and receive a prayer inspired by Psalm 63.
David wrote this psalm from the wilderness of Judah—a parched and weary place where there seemed to be no water. Yet even there, he continued searching for God, praising Him, and trusting that God’s strong hand was holding him securely.
Maybe you are walking through your own wilderness right now: heartbreak, grief, financial pressure, anxiety, sickness, addiction, insecurity, temptation, or a pain you cannot quite name.
This episode is your reminder that you are not too broken for God to hear you. Your past has not disqualified your prayers, and someone else’s prayers do not reach God faster than yours. Every person who has said yes to Jesus has access to the same loving and holy God.
Toni prays for hope when everything feels dark, strength to resist temptation, freedom from sin, rest for sleepless nights, and the ability to remember that God is still good—even when saying it feels difficult.
Come as you are. Take a deep breath. Bring God whatever you have.
You can expect:
- A reminder that God hears your prayers
- A guided moment to acknowledge your grief
- A reading and reflection from Psalm 63
- Prayer for wilderness seasons, temptation, and exhaustion
- Encouragement to hold onto hope in dark circumstances
- A reminder that God’s beauty and glory never disappear
You do not have to pretend that the wilderness is easy. But you can trust that you are not walking through it alone.

Dylan opens up about once feeling like she had to choose between her mom and dad, how her relationship with God helped her realize she could love both parents, and what children navigating divorce need most from their friends and families. Toni also reflects on the responsibility divorced parents have to protect their children from adult conflict, resist trying to replace the other parent, and create opportunities for their children to experience family—even when the family looks different than it once did.
But this conversation is about more than divorce. Dylan shares how God helped her overcome insecurity, why teenagers need a personal relationship with Jesus instead of simply borrowing their parents’ faith, and what Proverbs 3:5–6 taught her during a moment when she desperately needed to hear from God.
Parents, this is an episode to watch with your children. And whether you are raising kids, navigating co-parenting, healing from your own childhood, or simply wondering whether the next generation still loves Jesus, this conversation will leave you encouraged. Because the movement of God does not end with us.
The next generation is still listening.
They are still asking questions.
They are still developing real faith.
And they still need safe adults willing to hear what they have to say.

In this episode of the Still Coloring Podcast, Toni gets honest about her own season of loneliness, uncertainty, and learning not to move ahead of God.
Through Psalm 3, she explores what it means to trust that God is still watching over you, even when your circumstances feel unsafe and your prayers seem unanswered.
You can expect an honest conversation about:
Why waiting on God can feel so painful
The temptation to trust your intellect over your discernment
How to stop rushing what God is asking you to surrender
Practical ways to manage anxiety while you wait
The importance of gratitude, movement, journaling, and community
How Psalm 3 reminds us that God is still our protector and rescuer
This episode is for anyone waiting for healing, clarity, a relationship, a new opportunity, relief from grief, or an answer that has not come yet.
God has not forgotten you. He is with you, He is watching over you, and He can give you peace and presence while you wait.

Do you rely more on your intellect than God's voice?
In this episode of the Still Coloring podcast, Toni Collier opens up about a difficult truth she discovered while reading Psalm 46: she had been trusting her own understanding more than God's wisdom. If you've been overthinking every decision, carrying burdens you were never meant to carry, or feeling exhausted from trying to control every outcome, this conversation is for you.
Through honest storytelling, biblical insight, and practical encouragement, Toni unpacks what it really means to "be still and know that I am God"—and why discernment often requires us to slow down, surrender, and listen. Psalm 46 reminds us that God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Even when life feels chaotic, His presence offers peace that striving never can. You don't have to figure everything out on your own.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• Why self-reliance can keep us from hearing God's voice
• The difference between intellect and discernment
• How to trust God when you don't know what to do
• What "be still" actually means in everyday life
• Why surrender is often the first step toward peace

In this episode of the Still Coloring Podcast, Toni opens up about one of the most painful seasons of her life—walking through betrayal, divorce, financial uncertainty, public scrutiny, and the feeling that maybe she had become "damaged goods." Through Psalm 121, Toni shares how God reminded her that He never stopped seeing her, never stopped watching over her, and never stopped working, even when everything around her seemed to be falling apart. If you've ever wondered where God is in your grief, questioned whether your story is too broken, or felt like you've lost more than you can carry, this conversation is for you.
Psalm 121 reminds us that our help comes from the Lord—the Maker of heaven and earth—and that He is still watching over our coming and going, both now and forevermore.

Can I tell you why Psalm 27 brings me to tears every time I read it? It’s one of the most meaningful passages of Scripture in my life, truly. It has carried me through grief, heartbreak, rebuilding, fear, and seasons when I felt like I had nothing left to hold onto but God.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, abandoned, or unsure of what to pray, I really do hope this conversation is a powerful reminder that God's presence is enough.
Let me tell you about the things I once turned to for comfort, why Psalm 27 continues to wreck me in the best way. and what it means to dwell with God instead of constantly asking Him to fix everything around us.

Have you ever desperately wanted to hear God's voice... but weren't sure if it was really Him?
I want to tell you a powerful story about the first time I believe I heard the voice of God. Y’all know I’ve been going through it – navigating divorce, doing my best as a single mom, facing financial hardship, and healing from trauma. This season really and truly has brought me to complete desperation and ultimately closer to God than ever before.
Let’s look at Psalm 91 and I’ll tell you how this Scripture became more than words on a page to me. Psalm 91 feels like a personal message from God that changed the trajectory of my faith journey.
You might be wondering, “How do I know if God is speaking to me? Why can't I hear God's voice? Does God still speak today? What role does silence, prayer, and Scripture play in hearing from God?” I don’t have all the answers, of course, but I hope this conversation – and the other episodes still to come in this Psalms series – will help you to seek God in those questions.

What do you do when it feels like everyone else is getting to enjoy the life you prayed for?
Today we’re talking about disappointment, unanswered prayers, jealousy, seasons of waiting, and struggling to trust God’s timing. I call it the “pain comparison trap” and it’s HARD, y’all. Comparison can slowly steal your peace and distort your view of yourself and God!
If you’ve ever wondered why everyone else seems to be moving forward while you feel stuck, forgotten, or overlooked by God, this conversation is for you. Your pain is not invisible, and God has not forgotten you. And I want to acknowledge your sadness. I feel it too. Don't discount your pain.
If you’ve been wrestling with discouragement, unmet expectations, loneliness, singleness, grief, healing, or feeling emotionally exhausted from watching everyone else “win,” pull up a seat and let’s chat through a few stories of comparison in the Bible.
Cain and Abel – Genesis 4
Rachel and Leah – Genesis 29-30
Saul and David – 1 Samuel 18
Joseph and his brothers – Genesis 37

What happens when life falls apart… and you have to rebuild from scratch? I’ve been there. And I’m still going through a season of rebuilding years after my second divorce. So, let’s talk about the emotional pain of starting over again when life doesn’t go according to plan.
From grief and disappointment to healing and trusting God in the middle of uncertainty, this episode is for anyone who feels exhausted trying to rebuild their life after heartbreak, loss, divorce, failure, betrayal, or unexpected change.
If you’ve ever felt like everyone else is moving forward while you’re picking up the pieces, my prayer is this: that you’ll be reminded that healing is not linear, starting over is not shameful, and God still meets you in the middle of the rebuilding process.

Divorce is hard. But navigating divorce when your kids are involved? Hello somebody, now that’s a whole different level of pressure!!
How do you support your kids emotionally during divorce? What does the Bible say about the fear, guilt, and uncertainty we face as a parent? I’m absolutely not perfect and am still learning as I navigate through, but I want to focus today’s episode on what I’ve learned, paired with some biblical truth.
If you’ve ever found yourself lying awake at night thinking, “Am I messing up my kids?” you’re not alone. Let’s get real about what it looks like to walk through divorce as a parent who deeply loves their kids and wants to do this right. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence, grace, and trusting God in the middle of the mess.

What if the place you think is “freedom” is actually where you’re still in bondage?
Friendssss, I’ve gotta share a truly life-changing experience with you. I recently visited a federal women’s prison with God Behind Bars, and it completely redefined my understanding of freedom!
Let’s take a look together at John 8 and the story of the woman caught in adultery. We’ll look at how shame, sin, hesitation, and lies from the enemy can keep us stuck… even if we’ve never found ourselves inside the walls of a prison.
We’ve got to do three things: stop playing with sin, start naming the lies we’re believing, and step into the real freedom Jesus offers us.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, ashamed, or spiritually blocked, I hope this episode will meet you right where you are and then call you into something higher. You are not too far gone. You are not disqualified. Real freedom is available to you, right now.

If your heart feels heavy today, this prayer is for you. You don’t have to have the right words. You don’t have to have it all together. If your heart feels heavy, just press play.
This week’s episode is a little different! I’ve got a special “rest rhythm” moment for ya – I’m going to walk you through a short, guided prayer rooted in Psalm 61. When life feels overwhelming, when you’re carrying pain you can’t fix, or when your heart feels faint, this moment is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember that God is near.
This guided prayer is for anyone feeling emotionally exhausted, spiritually drained, or in need of God’s presence. I read scripture over you, guide you through a few intentional deep breaths, and pray over you to remind you that you are seen, known, and deeply loved by God.

How do you forgive someone who cheated on you… especially when they don’t deserve it?
Buckle uppppp y’all. I’m nothing if not honest; you know this about me. So I’m letting you into more of my healing journey through the repeated affairs of my ex-husband. I’ve endured betrayal and infidelity, which led to our divorce – and yet, I’ve forgiven him. Yes, really. I hear you: “Toni, but HOW?!” Let’s talk about it. You can still forgive even when the pain is still fresh.
I walk through the story of Peter’s betrayal in John 18 and John 21, and I’m sharing some practical steps that helped me move from unforgiveness to freedom. If you’ve been cheated on, lied to, or deeply hurt in a relationship, I hope this episode will meet you right where you are.
[NOTE: I sure did say all throughout this episode September 2024, but it was actually 2023.]

Why aren’t your prayers working… even when you’re trying your best?
You guys, I’ve been experiencing a whole lot of spiritual warfare like you wouldn’t believe. I’ve felt desperate, I’ve sought out deliverance, and it’s led me to ask a deeper question: what am I really asking God for… and why?
I think there’s something that gets in the way of our prayers, and it’s probably not what you think. Let’s dive into James 4 to look at how our desires, habits, and even good things in our lives can quietly become distractions from God.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated, stuck, or confused about why God feels silent, I’m really hoping this conversation will challenge you and encourage you at the same time.

Well, hello, friends!! We’ve done it. We’ve reached the final episode of Season 7 and I’m just so grateful. I hope you’ve enjoyed this “Toni and Friends” season full of some of my favorite people. They got me through this horrific season of betrayal, and through our conversations I trust the Lord has helped you to see how you can boldly step out of hiding to find the godly community that will bring true healing.
I’m joined for this finale episode by my friend Terrence Smith. Terrence is the founder of Kill Pride Club, which is a beautiful space here locally in Atlanta for men to process grief, release pressure, and grow in wholeness. During their monthly meetings, Kill Pride Club attendees explore the challenges men face in a world that often leaves them behind emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. I love this, y’all. Lean in – Terrence has lots of practical tips for men on their healing journeys! And check out Kill Pride Club, too!

Today’s guest is Moriah Smallbone, my co-host of the "Unshakeable Moxie" video series with Our Daily Bread Ministries! We met in a pretty unconventional way (basically creative-speed-dating style), yet there’s always been such an ease and sense of normalcy in our friendship. Goodness knows Moriah has seen me through the good, the bad, and the downright horrific these last few years. And it’s been such a privilege for me to watch her fight for her dreams.
As a Latin-country artist, the last decade of Moriah’s career has been full of emotional starts and stops – moments that felt like sowing seeds in the dark while watching others’ dreams take off around her. But her story, like mine, is one of rebuilding, redemption, and finding purpose again through God and His people.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re waiting on breakthrough or wondering if your hard work will ever bear fruit, this conversation is for you.

Okay y’all KNOW I’ve become a Burn Boot Camp obsessed gym girly – I would not have gotten through this horrific season of divorce without caring for my body (and building a really sweet community) within the walls of my local gym. And the incredible thing about Burn Boot Camp is that I can keep my workout rhythm going when I travel and speak all across the country!
In this “don’t heal alone” season of Still Coloring, I wanted to chat with the CEO and co-founder of Burn Boot Camp, Morgan Kline, because goodness knows Burn has helped me heal. Morgan and her husband Devan lead this company so well, and I had the opportunity to tell her that in this episode! We talk about the importance of community, consistency and challenge – the three C’s of Burn! – and about honoring God through how we care for our bodies.
Y’all go check out a Burn Boot Camp near you and tag me when you do!

Well, you guys, I apologize in advance for the snot-cry-filled audio of this episode, but that’s how you know we went REAL DEEP on the topic of sitting with your friends in grief.
Eryn Eddy Adkins and I have been friends for nearly a decade. She knew me when I was freshly divorced and then remarried… and now divorced again. It’s so sweet to have a friend who has seen you through all the seasons of adulthood, and the story of redemption I’ve seen in Eryn’s life has given me so much hope for the work God is doing in mine.
We cry a lot in this episode – we sat down to record just days after the tremendous heartbreak of lightning striking her parents’ 20,000-square-foot barn. The devastating fire destroyed heirlooms and family photos they’ll never get back. You’ll hear us process through that together. And because we’ve been friends through various dating and marriage contexts, we also talk about fighting to not find our worth in men, and that’s a conversation I think A LOT of women need to hear today.

I’m so excited for you to hear this conversation today with my friend Debra Fileta. Debra and I have been ministry friends for a while, but she’s played a unique and important role in my healing journey over the past year as it relates to wise counsel around numbing through alcohol. At the end of 2024, I made a decision that alcohol could not be a part of my life any more, and Debra is holding me accountable to what I’ve promised myself and the Lord.
Think of this episode as a collab of sorts – I was on her podcast, “Talk to Me,” earlier this summer, and I’m bringing our conversation over here to my podcast listeners too. We talk about asking for help, revealing our weak spots, and learning to trust again after betrayal. I hope it’s a helpful conversation for you too!

You ever stumble into a friendship? You meet someone randomly or have a brief encounter with them and then realize that you’ve actually found a meaningful connection? That’s how I feel about Rachel Awtrey.
Rachel had me on her podcast back in 2023 and asked about my marriage during the interview, not knowing I was in the early stages of going through my divorce. After the mics stopped recording, I opened up and asked if we could edit that part out, and Rachel saw me. She kept leaning in when she could have just moved on, and I felt genuinely cared for. Since then, she’s followed the Lord’s prompting to reach out in moments when she didn’t know I needed a tangible reminder of God’s love for me.
I hope this episode gives you some bravery to start tiptoeing toward strangers and also provides some practical tips on finding and stewarding safe friendships. Rachel uses some gym metaphors for seeking joy in life, and you KNOW I loved those! Y’all go check out her new book too! It’s called Love Your Life (Even When You Don’t Like It All The Time).

Jo Saxton and Lisa Whittle are who I call my “allies in pain.” They are like big sisters to me, lifelines whom I can text at any time for advice. The idea of “withness” that I talk about in my new book, someone’s presence with you in your pain – they have lived it out so beautifully. And they were relentless in making sure that I told the truth about the betrayal I experienced in my marriage two years ago.
Lisa, Jo, and I have a conversation about finding (and being) trusted friends, saying the hard and difficult thing in a loving way, even when someone is in pain, and why it’s important that we process hard things with our integrated mind, body and soul in mind. We end the episode with Lisa and Jo mom’ing us a bit, sharing the best advice they’ve passed on to their own daughters.

Jackie Hill Perry and Megan Ashley became friends within the last few years and it’s not an exaggeration to say that their friendship has literally blessed millions. They were once strangers but now they spur each other on in ministry, pray together, keep each other accountable, and fight for unity… and I think we can all learn something from the way they prioritize their friendship. There’s a lot of fear when it comes to friendship, but I pray that this conversation helps you to see just how sacred friendship can be when you intentionally create safety and pursue Christ together.

Well, hey friends! It’s been a minute! The last season of Still Coloring hit your feeds last summer, and a whole lot has happened since then. Last season, every episode you heard was just me, recounting all of the ways God (and His people) showed up for me in the darkest moments of my life. It was vulnerable and tear-filled and I hope so very encouraging to anyone going through something similar.
The podcast is back for a new season, and I’m excited for you to hear these conversations about community, grief, mental health, and friendship. But first, I wanted to intro Season 7 with a deeply personal reflections on life after betrayal.

God is redeeming everything – the Still Coloring podcast is BACK! We’re calling this season “Toni + Friends” and we’re talking about the importance of building deep and intentional community instead of hiding from our pain. In this season’s episodes, you’ll hear conversations about godly adult friendships, pursuing purpose, and walking through grief together.
If you want even more on these topics, check out my new book, out August 19, called “Don’t Try This Alone: How to Build Deep Community When You Want to Hide from Your Pain.”
Excited to bring you this season’s guests! Lean in, y’all.

To finish out Season 6 of the Still Coloring podcast, I want to give you some snippets of conversations I’ve had recently with three voices I trust to speak into my own life and grief – Dr. Curt Thompson, Dr. Alison Cook, and Debra Fileta. These three licensed professional counselors have some good stuff to share, and I hope you find hope and direction in what they have to say. It’s real good, I promise.

I believe that when God brings you to a Red Sea moment in your life, He’s going to part it. We serve the God of miracles, and He’s still working miracles every single day. And no matter what it is you’re facing, He has a plan to bring you back to His goodness. The pain you feel, the heartache you’re enduring, the loneliness and depression and sadness… not one bit of it will be wasted in the story God is writing – I promise you.

It was given to me by a deacon in a church during a church service that I barely wanted to be at, and at the time it didn’t mean a thing to me. But it came alive to me during a “spiritual encounter” weekend retreat where I was finally pursuing being a follower of God and not just a fan. I realized that God’s word comes most alive when we are looking for God Himself. Let’s go find Him. He isn’t too far.

I have a tendency to live in a scarcity mindset about money, that there’s not going to be enough of it, and when I do have it, I might lose it. Maybe you feel that way too. Finances can impact what we believe about God, but goodness, do I have some God winks to tell you about the ways He’s provided in this season of my divorce. I was scared to take time off the stage because speaking is how I make money, but I heard God say, “Toni, I am the author of good things. I am working out all things out for the good of those who love me. Love me, follow me, surrender to me, and I got you.” He’s got you too, friend. Let me show you how.

One thing that has been super consistent in this season of my life is how my community has SHOWN UP for me. God saw fit that out-of-town friends would physically be down the hall when I got the worst phone call of my life. They’ve comforted me and helped me discover things about myself that I hadn’t realized before. My community furnished my new home and reminded me of my purpose, coaching me through attacks of the enemy when in a moment I believed that the pain would absolutely crush me.
Listen, friends. We need each other. We can't heal alone. So, after you run to your Savior in moments of pain and darkness, make sure you find your people too.

I tell people all the time to “embrace your pain,” and now coming out of the devastation of the past six months, I have to call myself to that same standard. So, I’m sharing the story of what God has brought me through.
This season is called “God Winks, Moxie and Rescue,” and I’ll tell you more about those things in this first episode, starting with a look at the parable of the wandering sheep in Matthew 18. Sneak peek: Sometimes we’re the 1 and sometimes we’re the 99. Whichever we are—our Heavenly Father is coming for us.

I am going to bring you all the way in. This is probably going to be my most vulnerable series of podcast episodes ever because it's me processing through some of the hardest moments I've ever had to walk through. In Season 6, you'll hear me shining a light on how God came for me in my darkest moments at the end of 2023. And how He's coming for you too, friend. God is still on the move. I hope this season heals you, in ways you didn’t even know you needed.

We decided this season needed one final episode, and it’s with Titania Jordan of Bark Technologies! Let’s go deep on the topic of navigating the online world with our kids. I’m not even exaggerating when I tell you that Bark is absolutely revolutionary and has changed my life as a parent. Titania is mom to a high schooler, and she serves as the Chief Parent Officer and CMO of Bark. Today she shares with us some pretty scary statistics from their annual report that analyzed 4.5 billion data points across 30 social media platforms, but with this bit of fear comes a whole lotta hope! Let’s be a safe space for our kids. We have an incredible opportunity to take the things we didn’t have access to and the ways tech hurt us and get it right for the next generation. And Bark’s gonna help us do it.

Today’s podcast guest, Kendall Mariah Tart, says she wants to authentically and unapologetically engage in conversations that are sometimes really uncomfortable, so we go there in this episode! Kendall is a self-described “modern southern housewife” with a husband in the active military and a beautiful adopted daughter who is Black. As a blonde-haired white woman in America, Kendall has navigated some hard things in her parenting journey, so we talk about what it looks like to parent a child outside of your race. It’s all about honoring them and their humanity. Kendall has some bold thoughts and I appreciate her perspective, curiosity, and convictions so very much.

Parenting is a treacherous journey – don’t we all know this to be true! But the beautiful thing is, we don’t have to do it alone. We shouldn’t do it alone. Today I talk with Heather MacFadyen, the founder of a brand and podcast called Don’t Mom Alone, about the idea of community. It can be awkward to seek out and pray specifically for, but we’ll be better parents if we find like-minded people to walk through this with. And Heather says that of course, parents matter, but we’re not the end-all, be-all, and that’s both hard and incredibly freeing to realize. Don’t mom – parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, etc. – alone, okay? Find your people!

Dr. Chinwé Williams is a licensed and board-certified therapist, speaker, author, and consultant, so you know what that means – today’s episode might feel like a free counseling session, and Y’ALL, it’s so good. I think she’s so brilliant. We talk about helping kids process through trauma and emotions, because Lord knows they come jam-packed with BIG feelings. We talk about re-parenting ourselves so that we can be better parents for our kids. And Chinwé talks about why she doesn’t think anxiety isn’t necessarily 100% bad – God created us to have an alarm system that prepares us for threat. Sit under Chinwé’s wisdom and guidance, and then share this episode with a friend.

I’ve got a real-life friend with me today, my girl Wanda Mulzac! I just love her story and how she has pointed to God through the heartache and the joy of their journey to parenthood. We talk about infertility today, which can be a really hard conversation in the church. Wanda and her husband now have 3 miracle babies through IVF, and we chat about what it’s like to navigate feeling extremely grateful for our kids’ lives but also struggling through hard moments of parenting with kids’ emotions. I’m just so grateful for Wanda sharing her story with us today – hope it encourages you!

Dr. Morgan Cutlip is a highly sought after relationship expert who knows what it feels like to lose yourself in motherhood. You’ll hear Morgan talk about how when we are spread thin, we’re regularly programmed to minimize our own needs. But helping our kids with their big emotions requires us to be in a good place, so we need to learn how to stop and “mom” ourselves. This is a great conversation today and I have a feeling you’ll be able to relate to the “do it all and be it all” struggle Morgan and I discuss. Have a listen and share with a friend! Then go check out Morgan’s latest book, Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself.

Today you’ll hear my conversation with the founders of an incredible company called Slumberkins which I discovered earlier this year on Instagram! Slumberkins is an emotional wellness brand that provides products and fun characters with unique storylines for families to connect with. Co-founders Callie and Kelly are so good at what they do – the resources they’ve created are helping so many kids to regulate their emotions and be healthy humans while parents also get the opportunity to grow in their emotional stability. I’m a FAN, y’all. After you listen to this episode, go check out their affirmations app, listen to their music wherever you stream, or check out the Slumberkins show on Apple TV+. You’re going to love these two!

We are always learning and growing. And when we are speaking on behalf of – as an advocate or an ally for – a people group that we don't identify with, there is an unbelievable amount of learning and growth that should come from that people group, always. So let's learn, fam! Whether you have a disabled child in your care or not, we can all get really good at humanizing every single beating heart on this planet. So lean all the way in as even I learn and grow in real time in my understanding of honoring the worthiness of every single son and daughter of God!

If you love Food Network, you likely know and love Aarti Sequeira like I do, and I’m so excited that we’ve got her on this season of Still Coloring! Aarti once won her season of Food Network Star and regularly serves as a guest judge on shows like Chopped, Cutthroat Kitchen and Guy’s Grocery Games. Today you’ll hear my conversation with Aarti about being a working mom and what it’s like to show our kids how to go out and chase their dreams – with all of the emotions that are wrapped up in that, too. We discuss the tension of competing priorities with work, travel, and family life, and Aarti points to Jesus as the example of how to seek rest and solitude from good, hard work. Plus, you KNOW we talk about food, and she tells us about her brand new devotional cookbook, available now for purchase.

Lauren Chandler wraps up the season with some really incredible encouragement – if you’re facing something really hard or painful or dark, know that it won’t be that way forever. Be honest with God and ask Him for the desire to move toward Him. And if all you have is a complaint, bring that to Him. He knows your heart already but delights when you let Him into it.

No matter how dark things get in life, God is still there with a plan, and today’s podcast guest graciously walks us through that promise. Jordan Welch doesn’t just sing beautiful worship songs – she lives by them. She talks in this episode about how we don’t need to have or know God’s exact plan in order to walk in obedience to Him; we just need to trust Him. Jordan says, “If you’re tired, burnt out, or exhausted, check the calibration of your knowing and believing that God loves you.” Ooh, that’s good.

[Potential trigger warning – Cecily briefly discusses suicidal thoughts at the top of the show.]
Cecily Hennigan is pursuing God like crazy, and it’s so encouraging to see! You may remember Cecily from a viral video singing in the McDonald’s drive-thru or from her time on Team Blake on NBC’s The Voice. On today’s episode, Cecily talks about the prayer she prayed the night before the Battle Rounds: ‘Lord, if you would take all of this from me so that I could know you, have it.’ And it all ended the next day. She says she’s seen everything the world could want to give her – money, social media followers – and none of it was satisfying. But now she’s creating music with a right view of her identity as a creative. And friend, Your Creator God is still creating beauty in you, even in the midst of your pain.

But with as many incredible things that have happened in Wande’s life, she still puts her faith first and chooses to worship God in really hard times. She says in this episode, “Hold on. The Lord truly loves you, and joy comes in the morning.” What a good reminder for all of us!

Casey J is an award-winning singer, producer and worship leader, and she loves coaching worship leaders to go deep in their relationship with God so that they can lead others well. In today’s episode, Casey talks about how we think saying ‘yes’ to God in the valley means that things will work out better, even faster, for us… but it’s during those times that our faith is stretched. With time and retrospection, we’ll see how God was working during those hard seasons, and our faith will increase as we come to trust God’s goodness based on His track record.

Beth Redman says, “I choose to surrender because I as a human don’t know how to make this better, so I surrender to a God who does.” Toni and Beth also discuss deconstruction in a really honoring and beautiful way. If that’s something you’re battling with, Beth has some grace, scripture, and strategy for you in this conversation. She’s a great worshiper – not because of the songs she and her husband Matt write, but because she chooses to worship God in the secret places. Oooh, this one’s good.

In this episode, Christy says that we are worshippers and we’re all worshipping something… and we’re really good at it. But sometimes it’s not always God that we’re worshipping. We often replace him with other things. And sometimes, if we’re not careful, we can even worship our own trauma – yikes! In this conversation, Christy helps us to reframe the idea of worship so that we can worship the right thing: the God who sees us and gives us courage to endure whatever we’re walking through.

The theme of Season 4 is "Worshipping When it Hurts." It's easy to worship God when everything is going good, but when it's not... when anxiety and depression comes, or when trauma rears its ugly head, or when the enemy looks for ways to tempt us with our addictions... it's difficult to worship an unseen God. This season, Toni will have conversations with friends, singer-songwriters and worship leaders who've been through hard things, and who have fought to continue worshipping Him even when it hurts.

Still Coloring is back and better than ever with Season 3. Make sure you're subscribed everywhere you listen to podcasts so you don't miss a single episode.
Toni Collier sits down with Carlos Whittaker, human hope coach, to discuss his upcoming new release, “How to Human.” This book is all about the concept of being human, and being a good one. It talks about being someone that loves, that presses into pain and difference in discourse, and says, “You know what? I can love anyway. I can bring hope into this world.”
Toni and Carlos also discuss conviction, but the conviction that we get to embrace and then move into action. You don’t have to stay in a valley of painful conviction. Instead, you could move to action and experience real freedom and real hope.

Toni Collier has a conversation with Jo Saxton, someone who has been like a mentor to her. Jo talks about the dysfunction in her previous church and healing from pain in the church experience. Toni and Jo discuss what it looks like to be in a church that is supposed to be worshiping God, that has a vertical posture to Him, but that’s also absolutely broken with crazy human beings. What do we do after we’ve been hurt by the very place that we’re supposed to be receiving healing and miracles? How do we get back up? How do we grieve really well, and what are the next steps to inviting Jesus to meet us right where we are?

Toni Collier gets to have a conversation with Da’ Truth a.k.a. Emanuel Lambert. Toni and Da’ Truth talk about Lazarus’ sisters, Martha and Mary. As their brother is dying, Jesus wept with them. He weeps and we generalize it, but what the Bible is actually calling us into is a very personal, intimate Jesus. The truth about that personal Jesus – that one who wept with Mary and Martha because of the pain in their stories – weeps with you and bottles up all of our tears. Jesus is with you. He’s with you in the pain, He’s with you in the valleys, and He’s with you on the mountains of hope.

Toni Collier had the chance to have a conversation with her good friend Jessica Honegger, founder of Noonday. They talk about trauma, trauma being felt as pain, and that pain being experienced alone. When we wonder how in the world we feel seen, soothed, safe, and secure, it’s through community that we find people that will look us in the eye and say, “I’m not leaving the room.” Jessica also shares a really traumatic story of her son almost drowning. She also speaks to perseverance, and how perseverance is practicing letting God love the parts we really despise. This episode will help you figure out how to heal those parts that you despise, how to welcome those aspects into your life, and how to allow them to experience freedom.

Toni Collier has a discussion with Ruth Chou Simons about how sometimes we stay in our pain because we want to strive to numb the pain instead of striving to actually heal. The truth is that some of the greatest pain comes from our experience of rejection and trying to seek approval from others. It’s because we’re striving for world acceptance when we really should just be surrendered at the feet of Jesus. If you’re in a painful season right now and you’re trying to strive your way out of it, this episode is for you.

Welcome to a new season of the Still Coloring podcast where we dive into embracing pain. On this episode, Toni Collier has a conversation with Lysa TerKeurst about Lysa’s new book “Good Boundaries and Goodbyes.”
We need to have boundaries in our lives that are strong enough to keep the bad stuff out, but permeable enough to let the good stuff in. Lysa talks about how boundaries must come from love, not bitterness, and also not because you hate somebody. Rather, you put boundaries in place because you love your heart enough to have it be healthy and protected. Get ready to take some notes because this is a good one!

Toni Collier and Ann Voskamp have a conversation about how in the depths of our valleys, we don’t have to ride out of the dark when we have the ammunition to slay the dark. Ann talks about how our greatest need is to be seen and known especially during our struggles in life, and no one sees and knows us more than our Waymaker, Jesus. He’s the only one that has ever loved you to death in all your brokenness and pain. The way is not a path, the way is a person; and that person is Jesus, our Waymaker in life.

Toni Collier & Jackie Hill Perry sit down to have a conversation about suffering, and what it’s like to heal while having hope & grit in the midst of pain. When you come to realize that you’re a sinner, there’s a hopelessness telling you that you aren’t good enough, giving you the tendency to turn to your idols for “fake” peace. We want our idols to soften the suffering. Because we don’t like pain.
Jackie talks about the difficulty of waiting on God to relieve our suffering because His timing is not the same as ours, and also not visible. But it’s when we go to God during our trials that we find authentic peace.
Toni asks Jackie a question that we all want to know the answer to; What’s the difference between getting through something painful and getting over something painful?

Welcome to the very first episode of the Still Coloring Podcast! During this conversation, Toni Collier & Jamie Ivey discuss “if only you knew moments” in life. What would people think if they knew certain parts of your story? How would it change their perspective and trust in you? Jamie talks about how our past sins don’t define our worthiness of something good. God is always in the business of using broken people, and brokenness is inevitable in every season of our life. He is our redeemer and loves us in spite of what we have done because we are His daughters and sons.

We’ve believed the lie that our brokenness discounts us from creating and living beautiful lives for far too long. When it’s really our brokenness that leads us to surrender to the Creator of the most beautiful things.
Are you ready to begin again? To heal the childhood wounds that may have robbed you of the ability to create beauty? To feel seen and known in your brokenness, maybe for the first time?
In the Still Coloring podcast, author, speaker, and founder of Broken Crayons Still Color, Toni Collier, invites you to lean into the stories of women and men that uncover their brokenness and practically show how they rebuilt their lives with hope and grit.
Toni hopes that you would be inspired, poured into, and walk away believing that you too can create something beautiful with your life, no matter what.
