Psalm 145:18 — “The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.”

In today’s episode, Ash digs into a verse we often skim but rarely unpack. God promises nearness — but He also gives a condition: call on Him in truth. So what does truth actually mean when life feels confusing, subjective, or overwhelming?

Ash explores why closeness with God doesn’t start with perfection — it starts with honesty. Real, humble, bring-your-whole-self honesty.

In this episode, Ash shares:

• Why truth can feel subjective if we’re not anchored in Scripture

• The danger of relying on feelings instead of God’s Word

• How calling on God “in truth” requires honesty, humility, and repentance

• How to come to God when you feel lost, tired, or spiritually flat

• Why spending time in the Word helps you recognise God’s voice

• The lie that God is distant — and what Psalm 145:18 reveals instead

• Why God often feels closest when we finally stop pretending

If you’ve ever wondered why God feels far or how to hear Him clearly, this conversation will help you recenter your heart, rediscover truth, and draw near to the God who is already near to you.

Proverbs 11:25 says, “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”
In today’s episode, Ash unpacks what it really means to live with an open hand — to offer your gifts, time, abilities and heart instead of holding everything tightly to yourself.

As Christmas gets busy and life feels full, it’s easy to slip into self-protection, exhaustion or waiting for others to “pour into” us first. But this verse flips that mindset. God invites us to be the kind of people who refresh others — not out of pressure, but out of faith, obedience and love.

In this episode, Ash explores:

• Why generosity is more than money — it’s a posture of the heart

• How making yourself available can bless people in ways you don’t expect

• The trap of waiting for others to water you first

• What to do when you’re spiritually tired or emotionally flat

• How refreshing others often brings the refreshment your soul needed

• Why Jesus is the ultimate picture of generosity

• Practical ways to bless others this Christmas without burning out

If you’re feeling stretched, tired, or tempted to hold back, this conversation will help you rediscover the joy, lightness and spiritual refreshment that come from living generously.

Psalm 121:5 says, “The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand.”
In today’s episode, Ash shares a real moment where everything went “wrong” — running late, getting pulled over, panicking about missing a concert — only to look back and realise God might have been protecting them the whole time.

Sometimes God’s covering doesn’t look like a miracle… it looks like an interruption.
A delay.
A detour.
A closed door.
Something that frustrates you at first, but later reveals His kindness, His timing, and His protection.

In this episode, Ash unpacks:

• How God guards us in ways we don’t always see

• Why “setbacks” can actually be God keeping you safe

• The difference between God’s protection and God’s comfort

• How Psalm 121:5 shows God as both our defender and our place of rest

• Practical ways to shift your perspective when things don’t go to plan

• What happens when you choose trust over panic

• How to find joy, rest, and reassurance in God’s authority

If life feels messy, delayed, or out of control, this conversation is a reminder to breathe, look up, and trust that God watches over every step — even the ones that feel like setbacks. He is your protector and your shade.

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.

Are you tired of temporary fixes that promise freedom but leave you feeling worse?

They discuss how sin often promises freedom but only delivers temporary satisfaction, why surrounding yourself with people who speak truth into your life matters, and how knowing the "why" behind God's instructions helps us resist temptation. If you're navigating a season of struggle or just need a reminder that real freedom comes from living in God's truth, this conversation will encourage you to build your life on what's eternal rather than what's temporary.

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.

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.
