Wells & Wilderness

Going Deeper — A Year in the Word

In this episode, Ashly shares her decision to read the Bible from beginning to end in her fortieth year — not out of obligation, but out of a genuine desire for depth. She reflects on how revisiting Scripture as one unfolding story reshapes perspective, strengthens faith, and reframes wilderness seasons as part of God’s larger narrative. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105 Reflection Question: Am I seeking inspiration… or am I pursuing depth?

Surrendering the Future — Trusting God With What’s Ahead

In this episode, Ashly reflects on what it means to surrender the future — especially when timelines don’t unfold as expected. From singleness to uncertainty, she explores how obedience rooted in love brings peace, and how trusting God with what’s ahead frees us from striving to control the outcome. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.” — Proverbs 3:5–6 Reflection Question: Am I trusting God with my future… or trying to control it?

Who am I now?

In this episode, Ashly reflects on the quiet identity questions that often surface in our thirties and forties — especially after seasons of loss, rebuilding, and change. She explores what it means to shed outdated versions of ourselves, grow beyond expectations, and anchor identity in Christ rather than roles or timelines. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” — Ephesians 2:10 Reflection Question: Am I trying to perform who I think I should be… or am I allowing myself to become who God is shaping me to be?

Heart Renovation — Transformation Through Love

In this episode, Ashly reflects on what true transformation really means — not behavior modification, but heart change. Through personal testimony and thoughtful reflection, she explores the difference between condemnation and conviction, and how obedience rooted in love leads to lasting peace. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21 Reflection Question: Is my obedience rooted in fear… or in love?

Chasing Wells That Don’t Satisfy

In this episode, Ashly reflects on the subtle ways we seek comfort after heartbreak — through connection, distraction, validation, and momentum. She shares how temporary relief can feel fulfilling for a moment but ultimately leaves us thirstier, and how God patiently redirects our desires toward lasting restoration. “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I give will never thirst.” — John 4:13–14 Reflection Question: Am I seeking relief… or restoration?
