Description

This week on Chasing Faith, Dorothy and Jason sit down with the unstoppable Shelene Bryan, author, speaker, and founder of Skip1 (skip1.org), for a conversation that’s equal parts heart, truth, and holy kick-in-the-pants.

Shelene doesn’t just talk about faith. She moves with it. And she’s here to challenge all of us to stop playing it safe and start living like what we do actually matters.

✨ In this episode:

• 🔥 “I’m not worried you’ll fail… I’m worried you’ll succeed at something that doesn’t matter.” (Whew.)
• 🌍 How a $40/month child sponsorship turned into a life-altering trip to Uganda and the moment Shelene heard: “I know, mom.”
• 🛏️ The simple request that changed everything: “I’d love a bed.”
• ☕ The birth of Skip1: skip one small thing (latte, lunch, nails, whatever) and redirect it to change a life
• 📖 Why reading the Bible isn’t about being a scholar—it’s about showing up with childlike faith (even if you’re dozing in Leviticus 😅)
• 🤝 Why community matters: “God sent the disciples out two by two… we were never meant to do this alone.”
• 🛟 Comfort + safety can be paralyzing and stepping out of the “boat” is where faith gets real
• 🍽️ The legendary Skip1 gala story: guests paid for dinner… and ended up skipping dinner to build a kitchen and save lives

💥 The takeaway:

Faith isn’t a vibe. It’s a decision.
 And Shelene’s message is clear: get up and do something—not to look good, but because love requires motion. ❤️
