    Jul 16 2025

    Discover Eden Here: https://thisiseden.org/pages/about-eden

    Today’s episode is a raw and honest chat about what it really means to follow Jesus every single day. Michelle shares the moment she realised God was calling her to leave a career she loved and step fully into her calling – and how scary that was.

    We unpack Luke 9:23-24, where Jesus says:

    “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.”

    What does it look like to pick up your cross daily when it feels too hard? How do you make obedient decisions when everything in you wants to stay comfortable? This conversation is for anyone who’s wrestling with God’s call right now.

  • Living in Awe of God | Proverbs 9:10 with Toby Couchman
    Jul 7 2025

    “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” – Proverbs 9:10

    Today, Ash is joined by her husband Toby as they unpack what it really means to fear God. Toby shares how he used to think it meant being scared of God, but he’s realised it’s actually about having awe and deep respect for Him. They talk about how having reverence for God shapes the way we make decisions, helps us become more teachable, and guides us to seek His wisdom rather than relying only on our own strength.

    Ash and Toby also reflect on their first year of marriage and how learning to slow down, listen, and seek God’s wisdom has helped them grow. If you’re someone who struggles to let go of control or wants to better understand what it means to fear God in a life-giving way, this conversation will be both practical and encouraging.
