In this episode
In this episode I sit down with Brittanie McCoy, the founder of B McCoy Ministries in Tulsa. I recently had the chance to attend one of her retreats — in Oklahoma City at the Bradford House — and I can tell you, every single detail was curated to make the women in the room feel seen and special. Hospitality is truly one of her God-given gifts, and you can feel it the moment you walk in.
Brittanie is an entrepreneur, a third-generation insurance agent, a former coach and teacher, a wife, and a mother. But a few years ago she felt the Lord place something on her heart that looked completely out of the box from the life she was building. What started as a retreat for her network marketing team in February 2020 became something else entirely — pure ministry, gathering women to be spiritually fed, refreshed, and sent back into their everyday lives with clarity.
We talk honestly about what it costs to step out in faith — the slander, the rejection, the man-pleasing she had to lay down — and how she learned to guard her heart and keep going anyway. If you've ever felt a quiet nudge toward something bigger and wondered whether you have the courage to follow it, I think this conversation will meet you right where you are.
Key takeaways
- A whisper from God can lead to a big, out-of-the-box move — Brittanie laid down her network marketing business to pursue retreats full time, and faith meant trusting the next step before she could see all of it.
- Pioneering something new often comes with a cost. She faced slander and accusation, and had to do real inner healing work to keep walking forward.
- Your happiness can't live in other people's opinions. Learning to release man-pleasing and 'put peace at the door of your heart' was the identity shift that set her free.
- Tests come right before transition. Passing through rejection and offense without losing sight of who you are is often what prepares you for the next assignment.
- Smaller, intimate gatherings (10–24 women) create space for real honesty, connection, and breakthrough that you don't get in a room of a hundred.
- Brittanie describes her calling as being a 'connector' — gathering people who'd never otherwise meet so they can sharpen and encourage one another.
- Her word for 2025 is 'make room' — purging physically and spiritually to create space for expansion, including a new office off Route 66 and a retreat house in Carlton Landing.

“We're not being measured by the world. We actually have God who created us, and He's the judge.”
“Your happiness cannot be in the hands of other people's opinions, judgments, feelings about you. I want you to put peace at the door of your heart.”
“He'll go before us, He makes every crooked place straight, but we've got to keep walking, we've got to keep going.”
“Even if we do all this work and it's for one moment, for one breakthrough, one transformative moment, it's worth it.”
