About

Hey there, welcome to Beyond The 12! I’m your host, Subrina Zeller—a wife, mom of three, and daughter of the King who’s still very much a work in progress. Let’s face it—following Jesus today isn’t for the faint of heart. It takes patience when life is loud, kindness when the world isn’t, and a whole lot of grace for ourselves and others. So what does it really look like to live as a disciple in the middle of everyday life? How do we follow Jesus beyond what the original twelve experienced? Each week, we’ll unpack real, Bible-based conversations that meet you right where you are—whether that’s at work, in the chaos of parenting, navigating marriage, or walking through everyday challenges. My hope is that these conversations will encourage you, challenge you, and remind you that you’re not walking this journey alone.
