Bible Study: How to Pray When You're Angry at God — Healing Scriptures on Lament from the Psalms | 74

Have you ever done everything right — said the right prayers, kept the right face on, believed as hard as you could — and still felt like God was disappointed in you? Do you secretly wonder if your faith cracked because you did something wrong, not because the image of God you were handed was always incomplete? What if the anger, the doubt, the exhausted prayers that didn't sound like prayers — what if those weren't failures? What if that was the most honest thing you'd ever brought to God? In this episode, Ash unpacks why so many women grew up with a version of God they could never satisfy — and what the Bible actually says happens when you finally drop the performance and say the real thing. This is not an episode about getting your faith back together. It is an episode about lament: the oldest, most honest form of prayer in scripture, and the one nobody told you was allowed. We walk through Psalm 22, the book of Job, and the A step of the FAITH framework — Acknowledge your true emotions — to show you that God has been receiving messy, angry, grieving prayers for thousands of years. He kept them in the Bible so you would know you are not the first. If you have ever stood in the rubble of your faith wondering what you did wrong, this episode is for you.

Family Prayers: I Don't Want My Kids to Have My Fear of God. How to Raise Them in Awe, Not Dread. | 73

Have you ever caught yourself telling your kid "God's going to be upset with you" — and recognized that exact dread from your own childhood church parking lot? Do you know in your head that God is love, but when it's time to actually talk to your kids about Him, the only words that come out are the ones someone handed you? Do you want your kids to grow up in awe of God instead of afraid of Him — but aren't sure what that sounds like in your ordinary, everyday home? Raising kids who know God shouldn't require you to have your own faith completely healed first — but when the only language you have for Him is the fear-based version you grew up with, it's hard to know what to say instead. In this episode, I'm sharing where that dread came from in me, what Romans 5:8 — while we were still sinners — actually means for the kid who grew up believing one slip-up could cost her everything, and the one shift that's changing what my own boys believe about God. You'll walk away with a simple way to build family prayers that raise kids in awe instead of dread, starting tonight. Free Resource: Not sure what your next step with God even is?

Devotional: Is God Good When Life Falls Apart? Healing Scriptures for the Mom Who Secretly Expects The Wrath of God | 72

Do you love God — but notice something in your body that braces every time things go wrong, like punishment might be coming? Have you ever sat in a waiting room running the math — what didn't I pray enough, what didn't I believe hard enough — before you could even stop yourself? What if the voice that told you hard things were God correcting you was never His voice at all? In this episode, I'm sharing the hospital waiting room moment that finally showed me the lie I'd been living inside — that my son's diagnoses were God settling a score with my faith — and why so many moms who genuinely love God still carry that same low-grade dread. We go straight to the question underneath all of it: is God good even when the hard thing keeps coming back? And we let Jeremiah 29:11 answer it — not as a quote on a coffee mug, but as healing scriptures for the body that's still bracing. We're talking about what transactional faith actually is, why "this is your fault" sounds so convincing in a hard moment, and what it looks like to bring honest, searching prayer to a God whose plans for you were never to harm you. Not in the waiting room. Not in the diagnosis. Not in the thing that keeps coming back. If you've been turning your lament into self-blame, or quietly wondering whether God is actually good to you specifically — this episode is for you.

Bible Study: The Ten Commandments for Moms Who Don't Want to Pass Their Fear of God to Their Kids | 71

Do those three words — Ten Commandments — make something in your body tighten before you've even decided how you feel about them? Are you trying to teach your kids what God asks of them without handing them the same list-of-ways-to-fail-Him that you grew up carrying? What if you didn't need a single chart, checklist, or commandment-by-commandment breakdown — just one story, told in the right order? In this episode, Ash walks through the sequence in Exodus that changes everything about how kids (and their moms) understand the Ten Commandments: rescue first, trust second, love in response third. This is real Bible study you can use with your own kids tonight — no curriculum required, no theology degree needed. You'll learn the one sentence that turns "list of rules" into "love language," and why retelling it to your children quietly heals your own relationship with these commandments at the same time.

Bible Study: The Ten Commandments Aren't to Condemn You. Take This Lesson From Moses Himself — Because God Is for You, Not Against You | 70

Did you grow up believing that breaking the rules meant you were one bad day away from losing God's love? Have you spent years measuring yourself against the Ten Commandments, certain you were falling short — and certain that the gap was proof something was wrong with you? What if the very first thing God said before He gave a single commandment was never about your performance at all? In this episode, Ash takes you straight to Exodus 20:2 — the four words that come before "you shall have no other gods" — and shows you the sequence fear-based religion quietly rearranged: rescue first, relationship first, and only then the commandments. This is real Bible study you can hold onto: Romans 3:23-24, Ephesians 2:8-9, and the truth that the gap between you and perfection was never evidence of your failure. It was evidence that grace came first, every time, for everyone — including you.
