72 | Is God Good When Life Falls Apart? Healing Scriptures for the Mom Who Secretly Expects His Wrath

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.

71 | How to Teach Your Kids the Ten Commandments Without Fear. A Family Bible Study on God's Law as a Love Language

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.

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

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.

69 | Is God Good or Is He Watching to Catch You? How to Talk to Your Kids About Who God Actually Is

Have you ever opened your mouth to talk to your kids about God — and heard your mother's words (or your grandmother's) come out instead? Do you already know the truth about who God is, but in the actual moment still reach for the phrases that scared you as a kid, before you can stop yourself? What if you didn't need to overhaul every conversation — just have two new phrases ready for the moments that matter most? In this episode, Ash takes you to Exodus 3:7 — what God said about His people before He ever gave them a single instruction — and turns it into real, practical language for your home. You'll walk away with two simple phrase swaps ("God is watching you" → "God loves watching over you," and "God sees what you did" → "let's talk to God about it") and a thirty-second way to model honesty with God for your kids using the BAM Prayer Framework's first step: Be Honest with God. Whether your kids are toddlers or somewhere in between, you're leaving this episode with words for the real, ordinary moments — the ones that quietly shape who your children believe God is.

68 | What Moses Discovered After 40 Years of Hiding — The Lie About How God Sees You (and Why You Can Trust Him With All Your Heart)

Did you grow up believing God was watching you — not to care for you, but to catch you? Have you spent years performing your way through faith, keeping the right face on, certain that one slip would land on a list somewhere? What if the watching you were taught to fear was never about your failures at all — but about His love for you in the middle of them? In this episode, Ash takes you back to Exodus 3 — to a man named Moses, hiding from God for forty years after a mistake he was sure had closed the door for good — and shows you the words God actually led with when He finally showed up. Not a list of Moses's failures. I have seen. I have heard. I am concerned. This is the God who met Ash in a hospital room at 2am when she had nothing left to perform with — and the same God who has been watching you, all along, with that same love. You'll walk away with real scripture (Exodus 3:7, 1 John 4:18, Romans 8:1, Psalm 139) and one honest question to carry into the week.

Now. * Psalm 139 — David's response to a God who sees everything isn't terror.
