In this inspiring episode, we battle against all odds to bring you an incredible story of overcoming job loss and finding faith with Ashlee Stancill of Abiding Cakes, the Jesus-fueled bakery that is an incredible ministry.
Despite reality-facing difficulties and spiritual attacks, we share the powerful tale of Ashlee's journey from losing her job (while on vacation, with no notice) to starting 'Abiding Cakes,' a bakery business guided by her steadfast faith.
If you've been laid off or lost a job...
If you had a plan that vanished or fell apart...
If you feel God has called you to something - a business, a dream, a hobby, something in ministry that feels impossible, risky or "random"...
Just listening to Ashlee, like she's frosting cakes calmly beside you, will build your faith.
Ashlee openly shares how she's navigated the fears and uncertainties of unemployment, leaned on her spiritual connection, and transformed her passion for baking into a thriving ministry.
Learn about her path of resilience, the significance of her business name, the pivotal moments of divine intervention, and the heartfelt messages she shares through her delicious cakes. If you're facing challenges or feeling called to start something new, this episode will offer hope, encouragement, and the reminder that God delights in us through every step of our journey.
So hop into Ashele's kitchen. Sit beside her, the bags of flour and her fridge with her "egg drawer". You'll be inspired by Ashlee's unwavering trust in God's plan!
