Beth Green: Trusting God’s Flight Plan When Life Takes an Unexpected Turn

What if the very thing that doesn’t make sense on paper… is exactly where God is leading you next? In this final episode of Season 5, Ashlee chats with Beth Green — pastor, speaker, and founder of Adored and Breakthrough Conferences — in a powerful conversation about faith, obedience, legacy, and trusting God even when the path ahead feels unexpected. Beth shares the story of building a successful aviation company with her husband, only to feel God asking them to surrender it all and step into full-time ministry. Together, they unpack the confidence and peace that comes from knowing God is leading — even when others don’t understand it, and even when you don’t have every answer yet. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that God equips us for every season He calls us into… and that our obedience may become one of the greatest legacies our children ever witness. Beth also shares her heart for encouraging women and younger girls to use their voice for good, know where their true worth comes from, and courageously follow God in every season of life. In this inspiring season finale, you’ll hear: • How to trust God’s direction even when it doesn’t make sense to everyone around you • Why your obedience and faith may shape the next generation more than you realize • How God gives grace and provision for every season — without requiring you to have it all figured out first If you’ve ever felt God nudging you toward something unexpected… or wondered if you’re really equipped for what He’s asking of you… you’ll want to press Play and listen right away. And as we close out Season 5 — a season full of courageous women sharing honest stories and hard-earned wisdom — this conversation is the perfect reminder that God is always working for our good, even when we can’t fully see it yet.  Find more from Beth Green on Instagram @bethgreenwv [http://instagram.com/bethgreenwv/] and learn more about her church and upcoming Adored and Breakthrough Conferences at airborne.church [http://airborne.church/].  Follow Ashlee on Instagram at @ashleeilg [https://www.instagram.com/ashleeilg/] and find more resources at ashleeilg.com [http://ashleeilg.com/].

Lauren Mitchell: How Being a “Needy Woman” Can Draw You Closer to Jesus

What if the deepest, richest relationship you could have with Jesus… starts with finally being honest with Him? In this episode, Ashlee chats with Lauren Mitchell — author, speaker, and Bible teacher — about her book Steadfast Through the Psalms and why an authentic prayer life may be the very thing missing from so many women’s relationship with God. Together, they unpack the freedom of bringing every emotion, fear, frustration, and need directly to Jesus — not just the polished Sunday-morning version of ourselves. Lauren shares why being a “needy woman” is not weakness when that need drives us toward dependence on God instead of away from Him. Lauren also opens up about one of the greatest fears of her life — tornadoes — and how walking through that fear unexpectedly deepened her intimacy with God in ways she never imagined. This conversation is honest, Scripture-filled, deeply encouraging, and an invitation to stop striving for perfect prayers and start building a real relationship with Jesus. In this heartfelt conversation, you’ll hear: • Why honest, everyday conversations with God lead to a deeper and more fulfilling prayer life • How dependency on Jesus is actually a strength — not a spiritual failure • What the Psalms teach us about bringing our raw emotions, fears, and struggles directly to God If you’ve ever felt like your prayer life is shallow, inconsistent, or only shows God the “put together” parts of you… you’ll want to press Play and listen right away.
