We're SO EXCITED to finally get to share this with you … our very first original song as Ross & Ava — “Word by Word” !!!!

“Word by Word” is about how God writes our stories more beautifully than we ever could. From cringey SoundCloud raps and dead-end dance rehearsals, to feeling stuck in seasons of waiting, He was orchestrating it all. Now, looking back, we see how His timing and His plan were perfect — not just in our music, but in our relationship and in our faith journey.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

The behind-the-scenes story of Word by Word — from a simple poem to a full song recorded in our bedroom.

How our past “failures” in music and dance became stepping stones for this moment.

Why authenticity matters more than perfection in Christian music and ministry.

Real talk about engagement, relationships, and learning to trust God’s timing.

How Romans 8:28 (NIV) came alive in our story: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

Our favorite lyrics from the song

Whether you’re in a season of waiting, struggling to find your purpose, or just needing encouragement, we hope this song reminds you that God is still writing your story — word by word, line by line, perfectly in His timing.

Ever feel like God’s taking forever? Or worse — like He went quiet on you?

In this episode of Jesus & Stuff, we’re getting real about what it actually looks like to trust God when literally nothing is going the way you hoped.

We talk about:
— Feeling stuck in your calling
— When comparison hits hard
— God’s silence vs. God’s absence
— The long, slow wait for breakthrough
— And what it means to keep showing up even without clarity

If you’ve ever said “God, I know You told me to do this… so why isn’t it working yet?” — this is for you.

Verses we kept coming back to:
➤ Proverbs 3:5 — “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” (NIV)
➤ Isaiah 40:31 — “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” (NIV)

How do you actually know if it’s God’s will… or just your own desire?

In this episode of the Ross & Ava podcast, we’re getting real about what it’s looked like to try and force our plans, rush God’s timeline, and ultimately surrender to His better way. From almost rushing our wedding to confronting hidden sin while trying to build a Christian platform — we’re sharing the real, raw process of learning how to walk in God’s pace, posture, and purpose.

📖 Scriptures Referenced (NIV):

Ecclesiastes 3:1 — “There is a time for everything…”

Proverbs 16:9 — “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”

Luke 16:10 — “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much…”

James 1:5 — “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God…”

💬 In This Video We Talk About:

How to discern God’s will for your relationship or next life step

The danger of rushing a good thing outside of God’s timing

The power of surrender and realignment when our posture is off

Why your relationship is not your purpose — the Kingdom is

The difference between platform-building and obedience

How to trust God in the waiting, even when it feels silent or confusing

What do you do when someone you love hurts you? In this raw and honest episode of the Jesus & Stuff podcast, we open up about a real situation in our relationship where forgiveness was not easy.

Ava shares how she wrestled with God, questioned whether to stay, and ultimately chose grace — not because it felt easy, but because of what Jesus did on the cross. Ross reflects on his own heart shift after messing up and how God used conviction to bring healing.

We talk about:

How to forgive when you’re hurt

Why forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation

Setting healthy boundaries in Christian relationships

How to receive grace without abusing it

What the Bible really says about forgiveness

💬 Scripture References (NIV):

Ephesians 4:32 – “Be kind and compassionate… forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”

Luke 23:34 – “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

Romans 6:1-2 – “Shall we go on sinning…? By no means!”

🎯 Whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or healing from hurt — this episode is for anyone struggling with forgiveness, boundaries, and grace in relationships.

This might be the most honest conversation we’ve ever had.

In this episode, we open up about our real struggle with sexual sin — not just avoiding sex before marriage, but navigating all the messy gray areas Christian couples rarely talk about. From boundaries we crossed, to the long-term effects of lust, porn, and compromise, we’re sharing it all.

If you’ve ever asked, “How far is too far?” — this is for you.

Topics we dive into:

Setting boundaries that actually protect you

Why “not having sex” isn’t the whole story

Dealing with lust, porn, and private sin in a relationship

How shame creeps in through loopholes

Learning to flee temptation (1 Corinthians 6:18 NIV)

The power of confession and accountability

Why God’s way leads to deeper love, not just better behavior

Whether you’re dating, engaged, or married — purity is about more than sex. It’s about how you love, lead, and honor each other daily. This one’s vulnerable, biblical, and just straight-up necessary.
