This week on The Upload, host Brooke Taylor sits down with country artist Gabby Barrett for a deeply personal conversation about faith, marriage, motherhood, and navigating success while keeping Christ at the center.

Known for her meteoric rise after American Idol, Gabby opens up about how her true spiritual transformation didn’t begin on a stage — but in her childhood bedroom, reading the book of Romans after her now-husband Cade gifted her a Bible. What felt familiar growing up suddenly became alive, sparking a faith that would reshape her marriage, motherhood, and career.

Gabby shares candidly about building a God-centered marriage in an industry that often prioritizes self, choosing intentionality over image, and why honoring Christ influences everything from her music to how she dresses to how she raises her three young children.This episode is a refreshing reminder that success isn’t the foundation, surrender is. And that faith isn’t inherited, it’s awakened.

Listen for an honest, hope-filled conversation about living boldly for Christ in every season.

This week on The Upload, host Brooke Taylor and co-host Pastor Mark Evans sit down with Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East and former NFL player Andrew East for a candid, faith-filled conversation about success, surrender, marriage, and building a life that lasts. Shawn and Andrew open up about their individual journeys to faith, the pressures that come with public success, and the surprising realization that achievement alone could never bring lasting fulfillment.

Shawn reflects on life after the Olympic podium — a season that should have felt victorious, yet left her wrestling with anxiety, identity, and emptiness. She shares how her faith deepened in the aftermath of success, teaching her that worth is not earned through medals or performance, but rooted in being known and loved by God. Andrew brings his own perspective, describing what he calls “delusional confidence” — the bold, childlike trust in God that shaped his decisions, his career, and ultimately his relationship with Shawn.

Together, they speak honestly about marriage, learning to let go of control, and the daily choice to love one another well. The conversation touches on parenting, anxiety, ambition, and the challenge of trusting God not just with dreams, but with family, future, and identity. Shawn and Andrew emphasize the importance of building a strong spiritual foundation before success arrives — and how faith became the anchor that holds them steady in every season.

This episode is for anyone who has achieved what they hoped for and still felt empty, struggled with control or comparison, or is learning to trust God beyond the win. Shawn Johnson East and Andrew East remind us that true fulfillment isn’t found in success, but in surrender — and that the foundation matters far more than the spotlight.

🎧 Listen in for an honest conversation about faith after achievement, marriage rooted in Christ, and learning to trust God with every part of life.
