What is the difference between mercy and grace, and how do they reveal the heart of God?

In this episode, we explore the biblical meaning of mercy and grace, how each reflects God's character, and how Jesus extends both to us through His love and sacrifice. We'll look at Scripture to understand what it means to receive God's mercy and grace and, in turn, how we can practically extend them to others in our everyday lives.

As we grow in our understanding of God's forgiveness, compassion, and unmerited favor, we're challenged to reflect His heart...

What does it truly mean to live in the abundance of Christ? It’s more than a positive mindset—it’s about cultivating an intentional, daily relationship with Jesus that transforms the way we think, live, and experience His peace.

In this episode, we explore what it means to experience the abundant life Christ promises and the practical habits that help us renew our minds, deepen our prayer life, and move beyond treating Bible reading as just another checklist item. Discover how small, intentional shifts in your daily walk with God can help you experience more grace, peace...

Should Christians celebrate Halloween? How do we know when something is a personal conviction from the Holy Spirit versus an opinion or expectation formed by other people?

In this episode, we’re diving into Christian convictions, biblical discernment, and what it means to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit instead of simply following the opinions of others. We’ll talk about how to stand firm in your faith while extending grace to fellow believers whose convictions may look different from your own.

We’ll also explore how Halloween can become an opportunity for Christian outrea...

Being ready for Jesus is about more than predicting end-times events. It is about how we live, love, forgive, and walk with God right now.

Join us as we study 1 Thessalonians 5 and learn how to live with faith, spiritual alertness, and confident hope in the return of Jesus Christ.

Who Are You Trying to Please?

Can you truly follow Jesus while continuing to entertain the things of the world?

In this episode, we’re getting honest about what it means to be in the world but not of it—and why trying to live for Jesus while holding onto worldly desires can leave us double-minded and spiritually divided.

The Bible calls us to an undivided heart, but what happens when we want the things of the world and the things of God? When we know the Holy Spirit is convicting us, but obed...

Lukewarm faith is trying to please Jesus and the world at the same time—but you can’t serve two masters. In this episode, we confront the danger of lukewarm Christianity through Jesus’ warning to the church of Laodicea in Revelation 3. This is a call to wake up, let go of compromise, and turn completely back to Christ. It’s not too late. There is forgiveness, grace, and hope in Jesus for those who repent and return to Him.

What happens when you actually stick with a Bible-in-a-Year reading plan? In this episode, I’m sharing my experience reading through the Bible with my church small group using the Alabaster Co. Bible study. I’m talking about some of my favorite things I learned, what made the process easier, my tips for staying consistent when you’re tempted to fall off, and my plans for Bible study and reading in 2027. If you’ve ever wanted to read the Bible in a year but struggled to stick with it, this episode is your encouragement that you can do it too!

Do you ever feel like you’re falling short of being the “perfect” Proverbs 31 woman? In this episode, we’re letting go of the pressure to do it all and turning our eyes back to Jesus. Proverbs 31 was never meant to be a checklist for perfection—it’s a reminder that the strength to live faithfully comes from Christ Himself. Join me as we talk about grace, biblical womanhood, and finding our strength in Jesus rather than striving to do it all on our own.

What do we do when we don’t feel God’s presence? It can be easy to believe that if we don’t sense God, He must be distant—or that His love for us has somehow changed. We may even find ourselves striving for God’s acceptance instead of resting in the truth that we are already loved by Him.

In this episode, we talk about the deception of feelings and the importance of choosing God’s truth over our emotions. As Christians, we are called to walk by faith, not by feelings. Even when God feels silent...

Tracing God's use of water from Genesis to Revelation to reveal the biblical foundation and importance of baptism in the Protestant Christian faith.

In this episode, we'll examine key passages from the Old Testament and New Testament, including Noah's flood, the Red Sea, the Jordan River, John's baptism, and Jesus' command to baptize all nations. This Protestant Bible study explains the significance of baptism, its connection to faith and discipleship, and why it remains an essential step of obedience for every follower of Christ.

We'll also discuss the healing that comes through forgiveness, especially when it comes to wounds from parents, family, or past church experiences.

True biblical community doesn't happen by accident—it requires humility, grace, and a commitment to fight for the relationships God has entrusted to us. In this episode, I share the mistake I made of distancing myself from others and how it left me feeling disconnected. We talk about the danger of isolation, why God calls us to live in community, and how finding our strength in the Lord gives us the courage to pursue meaningful, Christ-centered relationships. Together, we'll explore what it means to love others as yourself, extend grace freely, and embrace God's design for authentic biblical community.

Feeling lonely? Wondering how to find an authentic Christian community? In this episode, we're talking about overcoming the fear of putting yourself out there, moving beyond small talk, practicing biblical vulnerability, and taking practical steps—like inviting someone to coffee or lunch—to build meaningful Christian friendships that point you toward Christ. We'll also talk about breaking free from phone distractions and choosing real-life connection.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing your Christian walk alone? In today’s culture, independence is often celebrated, yet Scripture paints a very different picture of what life with Christ should look like.

In this episode, we explore why God created us for Christian community and how Western culture’s emphasis on self-sufficiency has shaped the way many of us approach faith. We’ll compare our modern lifestyle with cultures that still live in close-knit communities where neighbors share life, burdens, celebrations, and daily responsibilities together.

In this episode, we discuss the growing trend of using AI for Bible study, digital Bible apps, and online Christian tools — and why new believers need strong Christian discernment in the digital age. Can ChatGPT and other AI tools help Christians grow in faith, or can they unintentionally lead people away from biblical truth?

We explore the dangers of relying too heavily on technology for spiritual guidance, the importance of the Holy Spirit in Bible study, and how Christians can wisely use digital resources without replacing authentic discipleship and Scripture-centered faith.

In this episode, Ashlie shares a raw and honest conversation about the realities of mom rage, anger, guilt, and shame in motherhood — and how the gospel invites us to stop striving and start abiding in Jesus.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by frustration, reacted in anger with your kids, or carried shame after losing your temper, you are not alone.

In this episode, Ashlie explores why being rooted in Scripture is more important than ever in a world filled with noise, opinions, and constantly shifting truths. As Christians navigate culture, confusion, and everyday life, the Bible remains the living and active Word of God—unchanging, powerful, and deeply personal.

Through this encouraging and gospel-centered conversation, listeners are reminded that reading the Bible is about more than gaining knowledge or checking a box. It’s about encountering Jesus, growing in faith, renewing our minds, and allowing God’s Word to transform our hearts and lives.
