Episode 31 - Cultivating a Legacy of Prayer with Glenna Carlier
In this episode of The Already Collective Podcast, Taylor Carlier sits down again with her mother, Glenna Carlier, to explore the power of generational prayer, the connection between spiritual warfare and healing, and the importance of walking in obedience to what God reveals. Through personal testimonies, biblical insight, and years of faith-filled experience, Glenna shares how God moves in creative and unexpected ways—and why we must remain diligent in prayer even when we don't yet see the answer.
Together, they unpack the significance of praying for your bloodline, exercising spiritual authority, and trusting God's timing and methods. From praying at the root of what needs healing to responding to the Holy Spirit's leading, this conversation is an invitation to deepen your prayer life, embrace the power of obedience, and recognize that every faithful act of prayer can contribute to a legacy far beyond what you see today.
Because prayer isn't just about what God does in our lifetime. It's also about what He sets in motion through us for generations to come.

In this episode of The Already Collective Podcast, host Taylor Carlier sits down with Olivia Feller-Gerber to talk about her deeply personal journey of living with chronic pain and learning to trust God in the waiting. Together, they explore what patience and contentment look like when circumstances are difficult, how God works through unseen processes, and what it means to trust His timing and provision even when we can’t yet see the outcome.
Through biblical examples and personal stories, Olivia reminds us that suffering is not wasted. God can use the seasons we would never choose to deepen our faith, reshape our hearts, and teach us to recognize His presence and provision in the midst of uncertainty.
Taylor and Olivia talk about the daily posture of patience, finding contentment where God has us today, persevering in hope, and praying specific prayers that help us recognize the ways God is already at work beneath the surface.

Episode 29 - Trusting and Obeying Our Heavenly Father with Brenda Blackburn
In this episode of The Already Collective Podcast, Brenda Blackburn shares stories from her own journey of faith and leadership, reflecting on what she has learned about recognizing God’s voice, responding in obedience, and trusting Him through life’s hardest moments. She opens up about the ways God has met her through challenges, grief, prayer, worship, and unexpected circumstances—and how those experiences have deepened her faith.

They also explore the spiritual legacy we leave for those who come after us. Generational blessing isn’t simply about what we receive—it’s about how our faithfulness and obedience can create a foundation of faith for future generations.

Episode 26 - Celebrating One Year: Dreams, Authority & Inheritance with Taylor Carlier
One year ago, I sat down behind a microphone with one simple hope: to have honest conversations about Jesus, His Kingdom, and what it looks like to live from the reality that the Kingdom of God is already here.
I never imagined where this first year would lead, but 25 episodes and 21 guests later, here we are.
In this special one year anniversary episode, I'm stepping away from the interview format to share some personal reflections on what God has been teaching me over the last year—including a recent prophetic dream that has continued to shape me and others, practical ways to remember and discern your own dreams, and why I believe God still speaks in deeply personal ways today.
I also share stories from recent moments where God invited me to partner with Him in ordinary places and opportunities that appeared while simply going about everyday life. The Kingdom isn't confined to church services or ministry stages. God is constantly inviting us to notice where He's already at work and to courageously say yes to joining Him in the places we least expect.

Bethany also shares prophetic moments from her own life, lessons on sanctification, and encouragement for anyone longing to live fully known, fully surrendered, and fully alive in Christ.
Whether you're seeking deeper faith, healing, greater spiritual authority, or simply a closer relationship with Jesus, this conversation will encourage you to expect more of God's presence and trust Him with every step of your journey.

But behind every breakthrough was another invitation to surrender, trust, and heal.
Together, Taylor and Rachelle explore what it means to walk through the "wall moments" of faith, confront identity lies, steward influence with humility, and embrace the Kingdom assignments God places in our hands.
Episode 23 - Shifting to an Eternal Perspective on Singleness and Marriage with Taylor Carlier
In a culture that often treats marriage as the ultimate destination and singleness as a season to endure, how do we align our perspective with what Scripture actually teaches?
In this solo episode of The Already Collective Podcast, host Taylor Carlier takes an honest and biblical look at singleness, marriage, and God's Kingdom. Drawing from personal experience, Scripture, and years of wrestling through these questions herself, she challenges some of the assumptions both culture and the Church have made about romantic relationships and fulfillment.
This conversation isn't about providing a formula for finding a spouse, becoming content in singleness, or doing more to earn God's blessings. Instead, it's an invitation to zoom out and view our lives through an eternal lens.
Together, we'll explore:
Why marriage was never intended to be the finish line
The purpose of marriage as a reflection of Christ and His Church
How singleness and marriage both point to something greater than themselves
The danger of placing our hope, identity, and fulfillment in earthly relationships
What it looks like to live with eternity in mind right now
If you've ever wrestled with disappointment, longing, confusion, or unmet expectations around dating, singleness, or marriage, this episode offers a perspective shift that moves beyond temporary circumstances and redirects our focus toward what lasts forever.
Because at the end of the day, marriage is a representation of our relationship with Jesus. Jesus is the prize, the goal, and the finish line. And the only thing that brings true fulfillment is Christ.
Episode 22 - Receiving from God Daily in His Expansive Kingdom with Beth Myers

Together, they discuss how God often reveals His Kingdom little by little, inviting believers into a lifelong process of transformation rather than instant arrival. Beth shares powerful stories of answered prayer, miracles, and divine interventions, while offering practical wisdom for walking in spiritual authority, cultivating God's presence, and partnering with Him to bring heaven to earth.
Whether you're new to your faith or have walked with Jesus for years, this conversation will encourage you to trust God's process, embrace His presence, and participate in the work of His Kingdom every day.
