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.

Gideon was hiding in fear when God called him a “mighty warrior.”
Sometimes, the hardest thing to believe is what God says about us — especially when our circumstances say otherwise.

In today’s episode, Ash and Kate dive into Judges 6:12 and unpack how our true identity isn’t found in what we do or how we feel, but in who God says we are.

Maybe you’ve been calling yourself “not ready,” “not enough,” or “too broken.” But what if God’s already calling you mighty warrior?

In this episode, Ash and Kate Wilcox dive into Ephesians 2:8–9:

“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not from yourselves; it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.”

Together, they unpack the freeing truth that our salvation isn’t something we have to earn — it’s a gift. Kate shares how understanding grace changed the way she saw her relationship with God, moving from striving to simply receiving His love.

Ash reflects on how easy it is to fall into the trap of performance — trying to “get everything right” before coming to God — when in reality, His invitation is open to us anytime, anywhere.

This heartfelt conversation reminds us that Jesus did all the hard work on the cross so we could come to Him exactly as we are. Because of grace, we don’t have to strive for approval — we get to live from it.

In this episode, Ash and Jacqie unpack one of the most well-known verses in the Bible — John 3:16:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Together, they explore how this simple yet powerful verse captures the very heart of the Gospel — a love so deep that it changed everything. Jac shares a powerful story from when she was a new Christian and encountered the reality of God’s love in such a tangible way it brought her to tears.

Ash reflects on how easy it can be to overcomplicate faith, when in reality, it all comes back to this: we are loved, forgiven, and made new because of Jesus.

This conversation is a heartfelt reminder that our walk with God isn’t about striving or rule-following — it’s about living from the overflow of His love, the kind that transforms us from the inside out.

Ash and Jack dive into John 8:31–32:

“If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

This episode explores the powerful paradox between discipline and freedom — how following Jesus isn’t about restriction, but about living in the fullness of truth.

Jack shares how time in nature reminded her of God’s design for rest, rhythm, and perspective, while Ash unpacks why living by God’s Word can sometimes feel like losing freedom — but actually unlocks the deepest kind of peace.

Together, they talk about how the world offers “comforting lies,” but Jesus offers “loving truth” that truly transforms us from the inside out.

In this episode, Ash and Jack unpack Matthew 6:24:

“No one can serve two masters. You will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and wealth.”

Together, they explore the tension between chasing success and truly trusting God to provide. From ministry work to everyday responsibilities, it’s easy to let money or achievement quietly become our master.

Jack opens up about how she’s learning to partner with God in decisions — not out of fear or scarcity, but from a place of faith and surrender. Ash reflects on how our modern “hustle” mindset can sometimes mask deeper trust issues with God.

This conversation is a grounding reminder that when God is truly first, everything else — work, family, and finances — can fall into place in His timing and His way.

In this episode, Ash and Jack unpack one of Jesus’ most profound statements in John 14:6: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

What does it really mean to live like Jesus is the way — not just know it in theory? Ash opens up about a recent moment in her connect group that brought her to tears, realising she had been focusing so much on doing for God that she’d forgotten to simply be with Him. Jack reflects on how this verse isn’t about exclusion, but invitation — an invitation to live a life of love, empathy, and intimacy with God.

Together, they explore how easy it is to slip into striving, performance, or “getting it right,” when all Jesus really asks is that we stay close to Him. This conversation is a heartfelt reminder that your worth isn’t in what you do for God — it’s found in who you are with Him.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” — Matthew 5:6

Ash and Jacquie sit down for a light-hearted yet deeply honest chat. Together, they unpack what it really means to hunger and thirst for righteousness — and why chasing happiness will never satisfy you the way Jesus can. Ash shares how a recent on-air conversation about happiness led her to realise how fleeting it can be, while Jacquie unpacks the difference between happiness and joy, and how the Beatitudes remind us that true fulfillment comes from a partnership with God.

If you’ve ever wondered why “being happy” doesn’t always feel like enough, this episode will remind you of the lasting joy that comes when your soul is satisfied in Him.

Ash and Kate Westwood wrap up the week with an honest conversation around Luke 11:9–10:

“So I say to you, ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

This verse is more than a promise — it’s an invitation to curiosity. Together, Kate and Ash talk about what it means to go beyond simply knowing about God to actually knowing Him.

Kate shares how curiosity keeps her faith alive and how asking honest questions has helped her move from head knowledge to heart transformation. Ash opens up about seasons where reading Scripture felt like a discipline rather than a delight — and how staying curious changed her relationship with God.

If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry or wondered how to move from routine faith to real connection, this episode will remind you that God loves to be sought — and He promises to be found.

In this episode, Ash and Kate Westwood unpack Matthew 7:1–2:

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

What does Jesus really mean when He tells us not to judge? Kate and Ash have an honest, practical conversation about how this verse has been misunderstood — and how as believers, we’re actually called to call each other higher, not tear each other down.

Kate shares personal stories about being intentional in friendships, inviting feedback, and learning to have hard conversations that build rather than break. Ash opens up about moments where she’s struggled with judgment and found freedom through forgiveness and humility.

If you’ve ever wrestled with being misunderstood, offering correction, or knowing when to speak up — this episode will help you find that balance between truth and grace.
