Ever felt the quiet nudge of God telling you to do something—and ignored it? In today’s solo episode, Ash unpacks the challenging words of James 4:17 — “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.”

With her voice a little raspy from the weekend’s church conference, Ash speaks candidly about the importance of obedience, even when it’s uncomfortable. From Jonah’s reluctance to our everyday moments of hesitation, this conversation is a powerful reminder that delayed obedience is still disobedience.

Whether it’s reaching out to someone, letting go of something you’ve been holding onto, or stepping into a new calling, this episode will inspire you to stop delaying and start obeying.

Oh hey! It’s just me this week — voice a little croaky after a big weekend at a church conference, but still so excited to be diving into God’s Word with you!

Today we’re unpacking one of Jesus’ boldest “I Am” statements in John 8:12:
"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

This verse is more than just poetic — it’s a powerful reminder that no matter how dark life feels, we’re not alone. Jesus doesn’t just shine light, He is the light. And when we follow Him, we get to walk in clarity, truth, and hope — even when life is messy or confusing.

We’ll explore the context of this verse, what it meant to the people Jesus was speaking to, and what it means for us today. If you've ever felt like you were stumbling through a dark season, I pray this conversation encourages you to hold tight to the Light that never fades.

OH HEY! We’ve got a very special guest on the podcast today — Danny Gokey!

Danny joins me for a powerful and personal conversation around Psalm 55:22

“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.”

In this episode, Danny opens up about navigating heartbreak, including the loss of his first wife, and how in the most emotionally overwhelming moments, he had to make a life-changing decision:
“It’s either I trust You, or I’m not going to make it.”

From grief and confusion to faith and calling, Danny shares how casting his cares on God brought healing, purpose, and a ministry he never planned for. We also chat about emotions, distraction, victimhood, and why real trust is more than a feeling — it’s a decision.

If you’re walking through something heavy or need a reminder that God still has you — this one’s for you.

Let’s jump in!

Oh hey! Today, Ash wraps up a beautiful week of conversation with Steph Blair by diving into Matthew 20:28: "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

This verse becomes the heartbeat of a rich chat about what real servanthood looks like. Ash and Steph unpack how serving isn’t always glamorous - but it is holy, transformational, and deeply satisfying.

They talk about why we’re invited to be the hands and feet of Jesus, why serving is often messy (and why that’s okay!), and how small acts - like paying for someone’s Macca’s, can spark a ripple of God’s love.

🎧 Tune in if you’ve ever wondered, “Is this really making a difference?” or if you're craving a reminder that God doesn’t need us to serve — He invites us into the miracle of it.

Today, Steph Blair joins Ash to unpack Psalm 33:5, which says: "The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love"

This episode is a joyful deep dive into what it means to see God’s character reflected in creation and how thankfulness is more than a feel-good practice — it’s a godly, transformative act.

Steph vulnerably shares how gratitude helped reframe her identity and how science even backs God’s design: the same part of our brain responsible for anxiety is activated by thankfulness — and they can’t operate at the same time! Mind. Blown.

If you’re in a tough season or just need a reminder that God’s steadfast love surrounds you, this episode will lift your heart and fix your eyes on Him. Worship, neuroscience, poetry, and praise — it’s all here.

Oh hey! Today, Steph Blair joins Ash to unpack 1 Samuel 2:2, which says:

“There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no rock like our God.”

In this episode, Steph shares the powerful backstory of Hannah, whose praise declared God as her rock even when her life didn’t look how she imagined. Ash and Steph chat about why this matters for us today, how our identity can easily become wrapped up in what we achieve or what we long for, and why declaring God’s holiness realigns our hearts with what’s true.

Plus, Steph vulnerably shares her journey with dyslexia, shifting her identity from what she couldn’t do to who God is – and how that changed everything.

🎧 Don’t miss this one if you’ve ever asked, “Who am I, really?” – it’s an episode full of hope, challenge, and God’s unshakeable truth.

OH HEY! We have Steph Blair back on the pod today, and we’re diving into a verse that sets both of our souls on fire. Ephesians 6:12 says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

In this episode, we unpack what it means to recognise the real battle going on – not just the arguments, frustrations, or relational breakdowns we see, but the spiritual wrestle happening behind the scenes. Steph shares an incredible story about her parents choosing to pray and fast for someone who was treating them badly, and how God brought breakthrough in the spiritual realm that changed everything.

We also chat about how this perspective shifts the way we respond to conflict, hurt, and even the little frustrations in life. If you’ve been feeling worn down by people or circumstances lately, today’s conversation will remind you that there is so much more going on than you can see – and that with Jesus, you already stand in victory.

OH HEY!

We have another new guest on the pod this week!! Steph Blair joins me as we unpack what it really looks like to feel weary – whether it’s spiritual exhaustion, emotional heaviness, or just being completely drained by life. In Jeremiah 31:25, God says, “I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” Steph shares honestly about her own seasons of feeling faint and how God showed up for her when she felt like she had nothing left to give. If you’re feeling tired, disconnected, or worn out, I pray today’s conversation reminds you that God sees you, loves you, and promises to bring you the rest and satisfaction your soul longs for.
