| Attitude Check | Real Questions, Real Answers | 27 mars 2026 | 00:19:54 | |
In this episode, Audrey addresses a listener’s concern about her husband’s faith. The listener shares how she sometimes feels lonely when her husband isn’t spending time with her, but she finds joy and contentment in listening to podcasts and sermons at night while she cleans. She expresses her commitment to continue praying, loving, honoring, and respecting him. The listener also questions whether it’s wrong to be content with her current life situation, wondering if this reflects a lack of trust in God’s ability to work in her husband’s life. She holds onto hope for her husband but acknowledges the reality that there are no guarantees in life. She seeks guidance on her attitude, feeling more at peace when she lets go and allows God to work in their lives. -- Download the brand new Rare But Real app: • https://apps.apple.com/au/app/rare-but-real/id6759786297 • https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.subsplashconsulting.s_WNSKHQ -- Follow Audrey and Rare But Real on: • https://www.instagram.com/_rarebutreal_/ • https://www.facebook.com/people/Rare-but-Real/100064868790984/ | |||

| Handling Stress | 17 mars 2026 | 00:41:00 | |
Stress is not our enemy. In fact, stress is actually our friend. It makes us stronger. It brings out the best in us if we handle it God's way. It can make us more resilient and calm.

| When you feel hurt by the church | 10 mars 2026 | 00:24:45 | |
Church hurt is real but it goes both ways. It is real for people in the pew and it is real for people in leadership. We are all sinners and we all hurt each other. The issue is that we walk in forgiveness. Even if we are in the very best church out there – we're still sinners and we're still going to get hurt and we are going to hurt others. It all comes back down to our own personal walk with the Lord. There is so much more that I could discuss about this issue. But as always, I hope you are encouraged. -- Download the brand new Rare But Real app on the App Store and Google Play Store! -- Follow Audrey and Rare But Real on: | |||

| Kingdom Work | 03 févr. 2026 | 00:33:35 | |
What's wrong with diapering, rocking, cuddling, answering 100+ questions, wiping snotty nose, cleaning up messes, and playing blocks on the floor? This is kingdom work and it's not something to just get through so we can get to something bigger. This is big. None of us would have ever told Mary that "her day" was coming while she had the privilege of changing the diaper of Jesus. This week on the podcast, I talk about the kingdom work of mothering. audreybroggi.com | |||

| Grace for the Moment | 20 janv. 2026 | 00:53:11 | |
A young woman wrote and told me that though she feels so blessed with her young family, she often feels she's drowning every moment of every day. So many of us feel the same way – drowning – overwhelmed – yet, feeling overwhelmed is a good place to be if we allow it to draw us close to the Lord. This week on the podcast, the conversation is about seeing our lives and situations from the eyes of God and understanding His perspective and calling out to Him for His help. We need His grace for each moment of our lives. audreybroggi.com | |||
| Should parents pay for college when their child is dishonoring God? | 16 janv. 2026 | 00:14:59 | |
Many parents go above and beyond to pay for their children's college education. They do it because they love their children and want to help launch them into the world. Though it's not an obligation, most parents bless their children in this way. But what about when a child begins to live a lifestyle that is dishonoring to God? Should parents continue? That's the ask on this week's Real Questions, Real Answers. I'm no expert, but perhaps my thoughts will help you navigate this tough situation. audreybroggi.com | |||
| Being Grandparents | 13 janv. 2026 | 00:52:21 | |
When God gives children to you, there is so much to learn and so much to trust Him with. The same is true when God gives grandchildren. So much to learn. So much to trust God with.

It is such a heartbreak for parents to see their children turn away from the Lord. It often leads to anxiousness, depression, and hopelessness. A mother expresses those very thoughts in this episode of Real Questions, Real Answers God cares. | |||
| When You’re Down | 06 janv. 2026 | 00:47:12 | |
Sometimes after excitement and big events in our lives, we experience a letdown. It's a normal human experience and God gives us biographical sketches of down times in the lives of godly, faithful people in Scripture. He also shows us in His word how He (and they) dealt with such times. This week the podcast gives encouragement and perspective when we go through letdowns in our lives. Jesus said in John 8 , "If you continue in My word, then you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

| Consequences of Gossip | 30 déc. 2025 | 00:31:41 | |
Gossip hurts. It destroys friendships. Gossip causes anger and strife, resentment, and so much more. This week on the podcast, we examine consequences of gossip. It is so easy to sin with our tongues. We all know the pain of being talked about behind our backs - hearing things others have maliciously or jokingly said about us. We all know the pain of people spreading rumors. The Bible wastes no time telling us the consequences of gossip. As we wrap up this three-part series, I trust God has used it to help us speak wisely, truthfully, and honorably. www.audreybroggi.com | |||
| What Gossip is Not | 23 déc. 2025 | 00:26:23 | |
This week on the podcast, we continue our series on gossip. Sometimes we think every time we talk about people and situations, it's negative - that it's just malicious gossip. But that's not always the case. There are things we must talk about - that we need to talk about - but we have to be careful about what we say and how we say it. Is it for the good of others? Is it because we legitimately care about other people? Is it because we want to warn people? Is it because we care about the truth? I hope this week's episode brings some clarity to those questions. www.audreybroggi.com | |||
| Watch Your Tongue | 16 déc. 2025 | 00:30:30 | |
Lately, several young women have asked me if I would do a podcast on gossip. This week is the first! www.audreybroggi.com | |||
| Bring the Happy | 09 déc. 2025 | 00:47:21 | |
God has given a woman a unique ability to set the mood of her home. The Bible affirms this principle throughout the Scriptures. This week on the podcast, I share lessons I'm learning about how to bring the happy even when life is hard. There's so much that can bring people down - the challenge is to bring people up. As always, I hope this week's podcast encourages you www.audreybroggi.com | |||

| Transition Years | 11 nov. 2025 | 00:45:27 | |
The transition years of our children - those years when they are teenagers, growing into adults who leave our homes often bring tears to our mama eyes. Our children never leave our hearts and they are always on our minds no matter how old they, or we, get. Lately I have been encouraging younger women who are in these years. Mama emotions are sometimes baffling and show up an unexpected ways and can surprise us. This week on the podcast, I share some of my own personal journey in this area, and some of the things God has taught me, and I hope it will be an encouragement to you. audreybroggi.com | |||
| About My Husband ... | 07 nov. 2025 | 00:19:37 | |

This question comes to me every year and this year is no different. Since Real Questions, Real Answers drops on Halloween, I thought I would address it today!

| Longing for Likeminded Friends | 24 oct. 2025 | 00:14:02 | |
A young woman feels lonely because as she is growing in Christ, she has lost many of her friends. Although she has many older mentors and friends, she longs for friends in her season of life who share her biblical worldview. How should she go about this? I hope my answer to her encourages you.

| Real Questions, Real Answers | 03 oct. 2025 | 00:13:27 | |
Hi Audrey, I'm a young married college student. I'm working part-time and studying right now, but it feels so pointless because all I want is to be a mom. I'm becoming depressed, exhausted, and feeling kind of worthless while I wait to become a mother, which is not even guaranteed in the first place. Can you help me? I want to be content and joyful where I am. | |||
| Responding in Wisdom | 30 sept. 2025 | 00:46:28 | |
This week and next week on the podcast, you are hearing two messages from my daughter, GraceAnna Castleberry, who shared at our women's retreat. We had a day at Fripp Island and it was such a wonderful time with so many women. This week is "The Life of Abigail." I know you will be encouraged as you hear from God's Word the wisdom of this woman. She handled a very difficult situation concerning her husband, Nabal. I always love it when I get my girls on the podcast - either sharing messages from them or conversations with them. Also, I am working on a second podcast drop called "Question of the Week!" These will be short approximately 10 minute drops. I will also do reels for RBR Instagram posts. What I've learned over so many years of ministry is that if one woman has a question, other women have the same question. These will be handled anonymously and my prayer is that you will be encouraged!! I will still schedule phone appointments from time to time - I have loved meeting so many of you that way!! | |||
| Only God Can Meet Our Deepest Needs | 23 sept. 2025 | 00:34:20 | |
This week on the podcast, we continue our journey with Sarah and through her life, we see even more clearly how only God can meet our deepest needs. So many times, we expect finite people to be perfect - whether they are our friends, our parents, our children, and for those of us who are married, we especially expect it of our husbands. God redeems sinful people. All of us are on a journey. Once we come to know the Lord, we are forgiven, He changes us so that we want to obey Him, but sanctification is a process. The most important thing, even when we fail, is that our trajectory is upward. We see that in the lives of Abraham and Sarah, who both grew in their faith. So much to learn from them and even with this short podcast series, I’ve barely touched the surface. I do hope it has been helpful to you. As always, I love hearing from you - I read every email and respond as best I can. In these older years of my life, I really want to help you look to the Lord and draw your strength from Him.
