From Jet Lag to Joy: Thriving on the Road
In this fun and relatable episode, Ashley and Carlie share their best travel stories, lessons, and practical advice from years of ministry trips around the world. From lost luggage to 19-hour flights, mission-trip mishaps, and cultural surprises, they open up about what they’ve learned on the road—and how to keep your peace (and your sense of humor!) while you travel.
You’ll hear their top packing hacks (yes, including the compression-bag strategy!), how they manage long flights with only carry-ons, and why flexibility is one of the most important travel skills you can have. They also share powerful insights about traveling with the Holy Spirit, listening to His voice, and treating every journey as an opportunity for divine connection and spiritual growth.
If you’re planning a trip—whether it’s for ministry, vacation, family, or a mission adventure—this episode will help you go from jet lag to joy, with peace, preparation, and purpose.
Key Takeaways- Travel is part of the Great Commission. Jesus calls us to “go,” and sometimes that literally means getting on a plane, going to new places, and reaching new people.
- Be prepared, but stay flexible. Things change—delays happen, plans shift, and schedules adjust. Being adaptable makes travel far less stressful.
- Pack light and smart. Compression bags, carry-on-only tips, reusable routines, and choosing the right luggage can transform your whole travel experience.
- Listen to the Holy Spirit. He can warn you, guide you, and protect you. Peace—or lack of peace—is one of the best travel indicators you have.
- Embrace cultural differences. Travel broadens your perspective and helps you appreciate the beauty in how God made people all over the world.
- Enjoy the journey, not just the destination. Use travel time for prayer, rest, connection, and margin instead of letting anxiety take over.
