Unfiltered with Ash | Episode 2 | God can use your struggle

Welcome to Unfiltered with Ash!In Episode 2, we’re talking about something I think so many of us need to hear: God can use your struggle.In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Julie Zdanio as she shares part of her story and testimony. Julie has walked through some incredibly difficult seasons, but instead of allowing those struggles to define her, she allowed God to use them for healing, restoration, purpose, and ministry.Her story is a reminder that sometimes the very things the enemy meant to destroy us are the things God can use to help someone else.We talk about surrender, forgiveness, obedience, heart posture, and learning to trust God even when we don’t understand what He’s doing.God can use any of us—even in the middle of our mess—for something greater, stronger, and bigger.📖 This week, read through the passages and questions via our online workbook!

Pray before you read and ask the Holy Spirit what He wants to show you.Write down one area where God may be asking you to surrender, forgive, change, or simply trust Him.Don’t let your struggle become your identity. Let God use it.Prayer:Father, thank You that You don’t waste our struggles. Help us surrender the things we’ve been holding onto and trust You with the parts of our story that are difficult to understand.Help us release shame, bitterness, and offense. Give us a heart that is willing to say, “Here I am. Send me,” even when we don’t feel ready.Surround us with people who will speak truth, hold us accountable, and point us back to You.Use our stories. Use our struggles. Use every part of our journey for Your glory.In Jesus’ name, Amen.If this episode encouraged you, I’d love for you to:🤍 Subscribe to the channel.🤍 Like this video.🤍 Leave a comment sharing what God is teaching you.Thank you for being here.
