This week on The Upload, Brooke Taylor and Pastor Mark Evans sit down with up-and-coming Country Christian artist Brennley Brown for a powerful, honest conversation about faith, calling, and the cost of obedience.
From singing on her family’s ranch in Apple Valley, California, to becoming the youngest highest-charting finalist on The Voice, Brennley’s journey has been marked by talent, opportunity, and an unwavering love for Jesus. But as her platform has grown, so has the resistance — even from people closest to her. Brennley opens up about how being bold about her faith has, at times, held her back in the music industry, and how she’s been told she may never “make it” because she refuses to water down her beliefs.
Brennley shares how her relationship with God didn’t begin in church, but in her bedroom at age 13, during her mom’s battle with life-threatening Cardiac Lyme Disease. One night with a Bible changed everything — setting her on a path of faith she’s never turned away from. She also dives into the importance of spiritual community, including a small group she participates in by phone with other women committed to staying in the Word together.
The conversation turns to spiritual warfare, including the inspiration behind her song “Get Behind Me,” rooted in Matthew 16 when Jesus rebukes Peter for standing in the way of God’s purpose. Brennley, Brooke, and Mark unpack what it looks like to discern God’s voice, resist distraction, and stay faithful when obedience feels costly.
This episode is for anyone who’s felt pressure to compromise, silence their faith, or choose comfort over calling — and a reminder that God’s path is always worth it.
🎧 Listen in to hear Brennley’s testimony, her heart for ministry, and why standing firm in faith matters more than ever.
