the hold the fluff podcast

For Christian women ready to leave the fluff behind and grow.

I couldn’t ignore what I was seeing anymore. Christian women want to grow, but too often, women’s ministry leaves them stuck in comfort and surface-level faith. Hold the Fluff speaks the hard truths you probably aren’t hearing elsewhere – and gives practical, actionable steps.

Think of me as the long-distance mentor you never had. I share my experiences, wisdom, and advice on a range of topics, with each episode designed to help you grow, lead, and pass on your faith – minus the fluff.

Grab your coffee, press play, and let’s start prioritizing obedience over comfort – together.

You'll hear me...

Meet the podcaster

Hey there! I'm McKenzie.

Your long-distance mentor and the voice behind Hold the Fluff. After more than a decade of discipling women, leading groups, and navigating the highs and lows of women’s ministry, I’ve seen the gaps that leave Christian women spiritually underfed.

God used faithful women to shape me, and now I’m passing that investment on to you. Here, I’ll give you the biblical clarity, honest conversations, and practical wisdom you need to grow in maturity and live a life worth imitating – without the fluff.
