The Danger of Focusing on What You See | Learning to Trust God’s Timing | 2 Corinthians 4:18 with Ash Couchman
n this solo episode, Ash unpacks 2 Corinthians 4:18 — “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal.” She shares an honest reflection on jealousy, comparison, and trusting God’s timing — including her own wrestle with seeing others reach milestones she’s still praying for. Through this verse, Ash reminds us that when we focus on the temporary and visible, we lose sight of what truly matters: God’s unseen work in our hearts, our seasons, and our futures. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering why things seem to happen for everyone else but you, this episode will encourage you to shift your perspective and trust that God’s plan is still unfolding — even when you can’t see it.

What’s Stopping You? | Matthew 9:37–38 with Kate Willcox
In this episode, Ash and Kate Wilcox unpack Matthew 9:37–38: “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” They dive into the confronting truth that the problem isn’t the harvest — it’s us. The issue isn’t that people don’t want to know Jesus; it’s that many of us who do know Him aren’t willing to do the work. Kate shares honestly about the times she’s felt God stirring her to step out but hesitated, and how obedience often requires humility and discomfort. Ash reflects on how easy it is to get caught up in comfort, routine, and church culture instead of actually living out the mission Jesus gave us. This conversation is a wake-up call and a reminder that God’s not short on opportunities — He’s looking for willing hearts. The harvest is ready. The question is, are we?

You’re Not Alone in the Breaking | Psalm 34:18 with Kate Willcox
In this episode, Ash and Kate Wilcox unpack Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Together, they talk about what it means to experience God’s presence when life feels unbearable, when your heart feels shattered, and when it seems like your prayers are going unheard. Kate shares how this verse became deeply personal during a season of loss, and how she began to sense God’s nearness in quiet, unexpected ways. Ash reflects on the tension between wanting to “get over it” and learning to sit with God in it — trusting that His closeness isn’t dependent on how strong we feel. This episode is a comforting reminder that your brokenness doesn’t disqualify you from God’s presence — it invites it.
