Everyday Joy

Happy Friday, friends! This week’s episode is all about asking the hard questions: Are we protecting our comfort, our reputation, or our control—and is that keeping us from finishing what God has called us to do?

Ash and Jackie dive into Acts 20:24, exploring what it means to “consider life worth nothing” compared to completing the task Go...

Discipline. It’s not glamorous, it’s not fun, and let’s be honest… most of us avoid it when we can.

However, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trai...

Ever caught yourself thinking, “Why is this taking so long? I thought I’d be further by now. God, please make it make sense.” You’re not alone.

Do you ever read a verse about God blessing us and secretly think, “Okay… but does that mean I’ll get what I want?” 😅

We’re just going to say it: suffering sucks. No one chooses it, no one enjoys it, and yet somehow it finds all of us. In this episode, Ash and Lydia get honest about Romans 5:3–4:

“We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and characte...

Feeling anxious? You’re not alone.
