  • Ep. 43 Chats with Ash|Jehovah Shalom|Stories of God's Faithfulness - PART 1

    This is one of my favorite couples, Orman and Elizabeth, who are near and dear to our family. There is value in investing in and listening to those who are further down the road than yourself. One thing that I love about Orman and Elizabeth are the amazing stories they share that testify to God's faithfulness over the years and on wild adventures!

  • Ep. 41 Chats with Ash| Reconciliation| Peace Facing Alzheimer's - PART 1

    This is the story of a man who has experienced the God of Peace as minister of reconciliation in broken relationships. I encourage you to listen to Part 1 of this chat so that you can get to know Al and his heart for the Lord and others. If you do, you will appreciate so much more what he shared in part 2 about knowing the Lord's peace in a journey that began seven years ago when his wife, Judy, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.  

    Al's Books: 

     - “We love Because God first loved us” https://www.amazon.com/Love-Because-God-First-Loved/dp/1632219107

    - "From West Texas to the French West Indies and Back again” https://www.amazon.com/West-Texas-French-Indies-Again/dp/1545680663

  • Ep. 39 Chats with Ash: Jehovah Jireh| Seeing God Through Tragedy

    After ten years of longing and praying for the impossible, God answered Scott and Becca's prayers. What they couldn't see at the time, though, was the way in He would reveal the goodness of His provision on an unexpected road of tragedy and grief. This is a story of loss, miracles, and a walk of faith even when the heart is numb.

  • Ep. 38 Chats with Ash: Jehovah Jireh| Provision & Praise Even When Life Hurts

    "Sometimes the messy route is the most beautiful." Life after Tara's husband went to Heaven isn't always what she hopes for, but she has a lot to say about God as a faithful provider. I appreciate her honesty in admitting that she doesn't always "like" the ways in which He provides, but admire how Tara chooses gratefulness. You can learn more about Tara's story, her blog, and her podcast at www.taradickson.com.

  • Ep. 36 Chats with Ash: Yahweh

    In this episode, Carmen Halsey shares how she came to a deeper understanding of intimacy with Yahweh after her husband of 35 years passed away. “After losing Keith, one of the things I asked God was, ‘How do I love an invisible God?’ I wanted His word to come to life for me. I was just honest with Him. I needed more than words on a page. There is no comparison [to Him]. He is ‘I Am.’ I have to have the confidence to know that’s enough.” Carmen’s heart for God and others shines brightly. Her wise words will encourage and challenge you.

  • Ep. 35 Chats with Ash: Jehovah Jireh

    My friends, Luke & Shauna, share their story of coming to know God as Jehovah Jireh (God Will Provide) as they have embarked on an adventure beyond their wildest dreams. A graduate of West Point and Nuclear Engineer, Luke never imagined that he would one day write a book. I hope you’ll take the time to listen about how this couple has learned that “trusting Him is knowing Him [and] knowing Him is trusting Him.” You can learn more about Luke and his book at: https://lucasfischhaber.com

  • Ep. 34 Chats with Ash: Jehovah Shammah

    *DISCRETION ADVISED* as this can be a sensitive topic and one that you may not want children to overhear. Author Revealed: Jehovah Shammah, "The Lord is There."

    In this episode I share a deeply personal story about my struggle in a dark wilderness place and the One who met me even there.

    Note: Suicide/suicidal thoughts/awareness is a topic that, I believe, is vital to begin better addressing within the Church and with fellow Christ followers. Though I recognize not everyone will agree, I pray we will all prayerfully consider how recognizing and discussing this issue may help us better make much of God, encourage others, and support one another.
