Temporary Fixes vs. Real Freedom | John 8:32 with Ro Alford
John 8:32 says, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” But what does that actually look like in real life? In today’s episode, Ash and Ro dive into the difference between temporary relief and true freedom, and how easily we fall for things that promise to make us feel better but don’t last. Together, they talk about how God’s truth gives us stability in a world where “truth” feels subjective, how sin often disguises itself as freedom, and why understanding the why behind God’s Word changes everything. They also unpack why the Bible isn’t meant to be used like a “quick fix,” but a daily guide that shapes our choices, character, and clarity. In this episode: Why “truth” feels subjective today — and how God anchors us How sin tricks us with temporary comfort The difference between knowing the truth and living it Why correction from trusted people is a gift, not a threat Practical steps to build your life on God’s truth How freedom comes from obedience, not impulse What to do when the Bible feels confusing or confronting If you’re navigating temptation, confusion, or just craving clarity, this conversation is a reminder that God’s truth isn’t about restriction — it’s about real freedom, real peace, and a life that’s actually lighter to carry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Feeling Drained? This Is Why | Psalm 68:19 with Ro Alford
Psalm 68:19 reminds us that God daily carries our burdens — not just on Sundays, not just when life feels peaceful, but every single day. In this episode, Ash and Ro talk honestly about what it looks like to stay close to God in the middle of busy seasons, tired mornings, unexpected struggles, and the moments where you just don’t “feel it.” They unpack how simple, everyday connection with God can shift your whole day — from quick honest prayers to creating small pockets of quiet, to learning how to give your worries back to Him instead of holding everything together on your own. In this episode: Why your faith can’t run on a “Sunday-only” rhythm How God actually carries your burdens daily What honest, simple prayer can look like (“What’s going on, bro?” prayers included) How to reconnect with God when life feels overwhelming Why creating space — even small moments — helps you hear God more clearly If you’re tired, stretched, or craving closeness with God again, this conversation is a gentle reminder: you were never meant to carry it all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Want God to Grow Your Life? Start Here | Luke 6:38 with Ro Alford
Forgiveness isn’t easy — and today’s conversation gets honest about that. Ash and Ro unpack Luke 6:38, a verse often used in the context of money, but when read in full, reveals something much deeper: generosity of spirit. From judgment to mercy, from forgiveness to love, Jesus calls us to live with a heart that presses down, shakes together, and pours out more grace than expected. Ro breaks down the practical imagery behind this passage, and together she and Ash talk through the levels of forgiveness, the “extra mile” mindset, and how generosity is really about making room in our hearts for God to work. Whether you’re struggling to forgive, noticing judgment creep in, or simply wanting to love people better, this episode gives you a grounded, gentle place to begin. Even the smallest first step counts — and today might be the start. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do It Scared | Matthew 10:20 with Ro Alford
Matthew 10:20 — “For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” Today, Ash is joined by the always-glowing Ro (truly, she walked in looking stunning), and together they dive into one of the most confronting and comforting verses Jesus ever spoke. Jesus tells His disciples that when they step out in faith — especially when it's scary, confronting, or totally unpredictable — they won’t be speaking alone.The Holy Spirit will give them the words, the courage, and the clarity right when they need it. But as Ash and Ro unpack…that’s way easier to believe than to live out. In this honest, relatable conversation, they talk about: The moments you know you’re meant to speak… but fear wins Why God promises the Spirit will speak through us — not instead of us What to do when your heart is racing and your brain is blank Missed opportunities, regret, and God’s grace in all of it How to trust the Holy Spirit in everyday moments, not just worship Why sharing the gospel is always “good,” even if you’re not sure How to step out when you don’t have the “perfect” words prepared Ro shares a powerful story about a moment she didn’t step out — and how it shaped the way she listens for the Holy Spirit now. Ash shares her own airplane moment where intimidation kept her silent. This episode is an invitation:Stop overthinking. Start stepping out. Trust that the Spirit will meet you the moment you open your mouth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
