Everyday Joy

What if the thing you’re struggling with isn’t something you have to overcome on your own? In 2 Peter 1:3, we’re reminded that God has already given us everything we need to live a life that pleases Him. That doesn’t mean we’ll never struggle, get frustrated or get things wrong — it means we never have to face those things alone. Ash and Shay unpack what it looks like to rely on God in the middle of the struggle, stay aware of His presence and allow Him to challenge us and grow us — even in the small, everyday moments. Because following Jesus isn’t about getting everything right. It’s about continually becoming more like Him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of heaven, and those who lead many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever." — Daniel 12:3 What if you don't need a big platform to make a big difference? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Shay for a conversation about influence, faithfulness and what it really means to shine like the stars. Daniel 12:3 was written in the context of a difficult future. God's people would face persecution, suffering and trouble—but Daniel was reminded that faithfulness would not be wasted. Those who remain wise, follow God and help others move towards Him would shine. Ash and Shay unpack what it means to be someone who points others towards Jesus—not necessarily through a massive social media following or a public platform, but through the ordinary influence we already have. Our families, friendships, workplaces and everyday conversations all give us opportunities to influence the people around us. They also talk honestly about the tension of sharing your faith publicly without making everything about yourself. How do you use your platform without becoming self-promotional? How do you point people towards Jesus while still being authentic? And what does it look like to keep shining when life gets difficult? The conversation explores why some of the wisest and most influential people aren't necessarily the loudest people in the room. They're the people who are consistent—people whose faith doesn't completely change depending on what's happening around them. Because shining for Jesus doesn't mean having a perfect life. It means continuing to trust Him, obey Him and point people towards Him—even when life gets hard. If you've ever wondered whether your influence really matters, felt uncomfortable about sharing your faith, or questioned whether the ordinary way you're living your life is making a difference, this episode is a reminder: your faithfulness is not wasted, and you don't need a huge platform to shine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Proverbs 15:1 ERV A gentle answer makes anger disappear, but a rough answer makes it grow. What usually comes out of me when I'm hurt, frustrated or angry? Is there a person I need to respond to differently — not because they deserve it, but because I want to become a different kind of person? God, what would a gentle response look like in the situation I'm dealing with right now?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James 5:12 MSG        Just say ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Just say what is true. That way, your language can't be used against you. Do my words match who I actually am? Is there somewhere in my life where I've been saying “yes” when I really mean “no” — or saying what someone wants to hear instead of telling the truth? God, is there somewhere you want me to become a person whose words people can genuinely trust?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who has God placed around me right now who might need something I can give? 2. When I look at the way I'm spending my time, what is actually making a difference — and what is just keeping me busy? 3.

What if helping others doesn’t have to mean solving every problem? Joel A'bell National Director of Convoy of Hope Australia, joins Ash to talk about serving people in need, the life-changing impact of access to clean water, and what it really means to live out the gospel. Joel shares heartbreaking stories from communities without reliable water, but also the incredible transformation that happens when people are given the opportunity to build a better future for themselves. And his challenge is simple: “Do the next kind thing in front of you.” Because we might not be able to change the whole world—but we can all do something.

"Don't hoard treasure down here... Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it's safe from moth and rust and burglars." — Matthew 6:19–20 Donate to Water For Life Day : https://convoyofhope.org.au/water-for-life/thelight/ What if the biggest danger isn't having money or possessions—but becoming so comfortable that we forget we need God? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Kate for an honest and challenging conversation about possessions, comfort, generosity and what we're actually living for. Together, they unpack Jesus' words in Matthew 6 about storing up treasure in heaven rather than building our lives around things that eventually break, disappear or get taken away. They explore why this can be particularly challenging in the Western world, where comfort is so readily available that we can sometimes go days—or even weeks—without acknowledging how much we need God. Kate shares honestly about the sentimental things she's held onto after losing her mum, and how possessions can slowly move from something we enjoy into something that weighs us down. Ash and Kate also explore the difference between having possessions and being possessed by them, and why the real question isn't necessarily how much money we have, but how tightly we're holding onto it. The conversation challenges us to think about what it means to live with an open hand: Am I willing to have less if it means someone else can be blessed? Am I using what God has given me for myself—or for His kingdom? Because Jesus' teaching isn't simply about having less. It's about investing in what lasts. Generosity, caring for the poor, serving others and using our resources to make an eternal difference are the kinds of treasures that don't disappear when the things around us do. If you've ever wondered whether your pursuit of comfort, money or possessions is becoming too important—or simply want to rethink what it means to live generously—this conversation will challenge you to loosen your grip, refocus your priorities and ask what you're really building your life around.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him!" — Philippians 4:4 (MSG) What happens when we become so focused on what we don't have that we forget what God has already done? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Kate for an honest conversation about finding joy when life feels heavy, circumstances aren't changing, and it's easy to get stuck focusing on everything that's going wrong. Together, they unpack Paul's words in Philippians 4:4 to "revel in" the Lord—and why those words are so powerful when you realise Paul was writing them from prison. Rejoicing doesn't mean pretending life is perfect or ignoring the hard things. It's choosing not to let the hard things become the only thing we see. Ash opens up about a season where anxiety and heaviness caused her to become increasingly focused on what she didn't have, what wasn't changing, and what she felt God hadn't done yet. She shares how shifting her focus outward—praying for friends, celebrating their stories, and remembering God's faithfulness—began to change her perspective. They also explore the power of worship and Christian community, and why remembering what God has done before can give us confidence that He is still at work now. Sometimes we need other people to remind us of the stories we've forgotten and help lift our eyes beyond our current circumstances. This episode is a reminder that joy isn't found in having perfect circumstances. It's found in knowing the One who remains faithful through all of them. If you're feeling stuck, discouraged, disappointed, or consumed by what hasn't changed yet, this conversation will encourage you to lift your eyes, remember God's faithfulness, and draw from the "wells of salvation" for the joy, hope and strength you already have in Christ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"I'm giving you a new commandment: Love each other in the same way that I have loved you." — John 13:34 What if we're sometimes so focused on being right that we forget what Jesus actually told us to do? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by singer-songwriter and worship leader Kate for an honest conversation about one of Jesus' most challenging commands: love one another as I have loved you. Together, they unpack why Christians can sometimes get so caught up in disagreements, denominations, theology and the things that divide us that we lose sight of the thing Jesus placed right in front of us—loving people. But this conversation goes even deeper. Kate and Ash explore what it actually means to love others when we're running low on patience, grace and kindness. Because the reality is, we can't keep pouring out something we're not receiving ourselves. Jesus doesn't simply tell us to love more—He invites us to first understand how deeply we are loved by Him. When we become more aware of God's love for us, we have a deeper well to draw from when loving the people around us gets difficult. This episode is a reminder that following Jesus isn't about being perfect, having all the answers, or winning every theological argument. It's about becoming people who reflect the love we've received. If you've ever found yourself frustrated by disagreements within the church, struggling to love someone you don't agree with, or simply running out of patience with the people around you, this conversation will encourage you to come back to the starting point: receive God's love, and let it overflow into the way you love others.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." — James 1:2–3 What if the season you're desperately trying to escape is actually producing something in you that comfort never could? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Kate for an honest conversation about suffering, discomfort, and finding joy when life isn't going the way we hoped. Together, they unpack one of the Bible's most challenging instructions: "Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials." Because let's be honest—none of us are naturally excited about hard seasons. We live in a world built around convenience, quick fixes and avoiding discomfort whenever possible. So what does James actually mean when he tells us to consider our trials joy? Ash and Kate explore how difficult seasons can test our faith, develop perseverance and reveal where we're turning when life gets hard. They talk about the difference between finding joy in suffering and pretending that suffering doesn't hurt, and why Christian joy isn't something we simply manufacture when circumstances are terrible. They also reflect on what it looks like to keep trusting God when nothing changes, prayers seem unanswered, and you're still facing the same circumstances you were months or even years ago. This episode is a reminder that God can produce deep faith in seasons we'd never choose for ourselves. Sometimes the joy isn't found in the circumstance changing—it's found in discovering that God is faithful even when it doesn't. If you're walking through a difficult season, waiting for something to change, or struggling to understand where God is in your suffering, this conversation will encourage you to keep turning to Him, keep trusting Him, and remember that your hard season isn't necessarily a wasted one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." — Ephesians 4:2 What if some of the biggest problems in our relationships aren't caused by what people actually did—but by what we expected them to do? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Kate for an honest conversation about unmet expectations, giving people grace, and learning to make allowance for each other's differences. Together, they unpack Paul's challenge in Ephesians 4:2 to be humble, gentle, patient, and willing to make space for other people's faults. They explore why we can be so quick to judge others by their actions while giving ourselves grace because we know our own intentions. Kate shares what years of living with housemates have taught her about extending grace, assuming the best of people, and "filling the gap with trust" when we don't know someone's intentions. They also explore how this applies to marriage, friendships, family, church, and the workplace. One of the biggest reminders from this conversation is that relationships don't have to be based on agreement—they can be based on understanding. Sometimes making allowance means accepting that someone sees the world differently, communicates differently, or responds differently than we would. If you've ever been frustrated because someone didn't meet your expectations, taken something personally, or found yourself assuming the worst about someone's intentions, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, ask questions, give grace, and create space for people's humanity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Be on your guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.” — 1 Corinthians 16:13 What does it look like to have a faith that can stand when life gets difficult? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash and Jacquie unpack 1 Corinthians 16:13 and explore what it means to actively build a faith that is strong, courageous, and grounded in God. Together, they discuss why following Jesus isn’t about simply hoping life works out—it’s about intentionally guarding your heart, staying close to God, and choosing to stand firm even when circumstances feel overwhelming. Ash shares vulnerably about walking through a challenging season and the reminder that carried her through: “My God is good, and He’s good all the time.” They unpack how courage isn’t the absence of fear, but the decision to keep trusting God even when fear is present. They also explore how faith is strengthened through hardship, why we can’t just let life happen to us, and how daily practices like reading God’s Word, prayer, and pursuing a deeper relationship with Jesus prepare us for whatever comes our way. If you’re feeling tired, overwhelmed, uncertain about the future, or wondering how to keep your faith strong through difficult seasons, this episode is a reminder that God is your foundation—and He will give you the courage and strength to keep standing. Because a faith built on Jesus isn’t shaken by the storm. It stands firm through it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Love your enemies and let them bring out the best in you, not the worst.” — Matthew 5:44 (MSG) What happens when the person who hurt you is someone you’re still called to love? Forgiveness can be one of the hardest things we’re asked to do—especially when the hurt is deep, the relationship has changed, or the pain still feels real. But what if holding onto that hurt is hurting us more than it’s hurting the person who caused it? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Jacquie for an honest conversation about Matthew 5:44 and what it means to love our enemies, forgive those who have hurt us, and allow Jesus to transform the way we respond. Together, Ash and Jacquie unpack the difference between forgiveness and pretending something didn’t happen. They discuss why forgiveness doesn’t mean ignoring pain, excusing someone’s actions, or automatically restoring a relationship—but instead choosing freedom over bitterness and allowing God to heal what has been broken. Jacquie shares vulnerably about her own journey of forgiveness after divorce, and how choosing to see someone as a human loved by God changed the way she processed hurt, anger, and disappointment. If you’re carrying resentment, struggling to forgive, or trying to navigate a painful relationship, this episode will remind you that forgiveness isn’t about letting someone off the hook—it’s about refusing to let their actions steal your peace. Because when we choose forgiveness, we’re not just releasing someone else… we’re allowing Jesus to bring out the best in us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“If someone has done you wrong, do not repay them with a wrong. Try to do what everyone considers to be good.” — Romans 12:17 What do you do when someone hurts you? Our first instinct is often to defend ourselves, get even, or make sure the other person understands just how much damage they caused. But what if Jesus invites us into a completely different response? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Jacquie for a conversation about Romans 12:17 and what it means to choose peace, kindness, and grace when we’ve been wronged. Together, they unpack why “not repaying evil with evil” doesn’t mean ignoring hurt, avoiding difficult conversations, or pretending everything is fine. Instead, they explore how honest communication, vulnerability, and confronting issues with love can actually lead to healthier relationships and deeper healing. Ash and Jackie discuss the difference between seeking revenge and seeking restoration, why we often avoid hard conversations, and how one brave conversation can completely change the direction of a relationship. They also unpack a powerful example of two Christian artists choosing humility over conflict, showing what can happen when we move away from public reactions and towards honest conversations. If you’ve ever felt hurt, misunderstood, offended, or tempted to make someone “pay” for what they did, this episode will encourage you to respond differently—not because the hurt doesn’t matter, but because Jesus offers a better way. Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do after being hurt… is choose peace.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” — Galatians 6:9 What happens when you’re doing your best to follow God… but life still feels incredibly hard? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Jacquie for an honest and vulnerable conversation about what it looks like to keep trusting God when prayers aren’t answered the way we hoped, circumstances don’t change, and faith starts to feel exhausting. Together, Ash and Jacquie unpack Galatians 6:9 and the reminder not to give up doing good—even when we wonder if it’s making a difference. They explore the difference between believing God will always make life easy, and discovering a deeper faith that knows God is still good even in the middle of suffering. Ash shares openly about walking through a challenging season of anxiety, doubt, and learning what it means to build a theology of suffering—a faith that isn’t dependent on everything going right, but is anchored in the unchanging character of God. This conversation explores why some of the deepest growth in our faith often happens in the hardest seasons, how prayer changes us even when our circumstances don’t immediately change, and what it means to stand on the rock of Jesus when everything around us feels uncertain. If you’re walking through a difficult season, feeling tired, questioning God, or wondering how to keep going when nothing seems to be changing, this episode is a reminder that your faith is being strengthened—even in the storm. Because sometimes the greatest evidence of God’s goodness isn’t that He removes the storm… it’s that He teaches us how to stand through it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." — Luke 6:36 What if one of the biggest obstacles to healthy relationships isn't what people do—but the stories we tell ourselves about why they did it? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Jacquie for a practical conversation about what mercy really looks like in everyday life. Together, they unpack Jesus' command to be merciful, exploring how choosing compassion over condemnation can transform our relationships at home, at work, and everywhere in between. Ash and Jacquie discuss why we so often assume the worst when someone sends a blunt text, forgets to reply, or says something that hurts us. They introduce a powerful mindset shift—considering a person's intent rather than just the impact—and reflect on how extending mercy can prevent bitterness before it even begins. Rather than waiting until we're hurt enough to need forgiveness, this episode invites us to adopt a posture of mercy from the very beginning. It's a reminder that the same grace God has shown us is the grace we're called to extend to others. If you've been navigating difficult relationships, feeling misunderstood, or finding yourself quick to take offence, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, assume the best, and let mercy shape the way you love people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Do all you can to live a peaceful life. Mind your own business and earn your own living..." — 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 (ERV) What if one of the greatest ways to honour God is simply taking responsibility for the life He's given you? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Shaylee for a thought-provoking conversation about what it really means to live a life that points others to Jesus. Together, they unpack Paul's encouragement to live peacefully, work faithfully, and earn the respect of those around us—not through perfection, but through integrity and wisdom. The conversation also tackles a challenging question many Christians wrestle with: How do we know when God is speaking—and when are we simply making our own decisions? Ash and Shaylee discuss the importance of using discernment, being careful with phrases like "God told me," and why taking responsibility for our choices is an essential part of spiritual maturity. This episode is a reminder that while God absolutely leads and speaks to His people, He has also given us wisdom, discernment, and free will. The way we represent Him—in our conversations, our decisions, our workplaces, and even the everyday moments—shapes how others see Jesus. If you've ever wondered how to faithfully follow God's leading without using His name carelessly, or how to live a life that genuinely reflects Christ to the people around you, this conversation will encourage you to pursue wisdom, humility, and a faith that speaks through both your words and your actions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“We know what love is because Jesus gave His life for us. That's why we must give our lives for each other.” — 1 John 3:16 Love is easy to talk about—but much harder to live. In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Shay to unpack what the Bible says about real love. Together, they explore why love is more than a feeling, how Jesus modelled sacrificial love, and what it looks like to love people even when it's difficult. They also wrestle with an important question: How do we lay down our lives for others without trying to carry burdens that only Jesus can carry? If you've ever struggled to love difficult people, balance healthy boundaries with serving others, or wondered what Christ-like love really looks like, this episode will encourage you to love with wisdom, sacrifice, and the heart of Jesus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much…” — Luke 16:10 We're intentional about our careers, our finances, our relationships, and even our holidays. But are we just as intentional about our walk with God? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Shay to unpack one of Jesus' most challenging parables and what it teaches us about faithfulness, stewardship, and living with eternity in mind. Together, they explore why our spiritual lives can so easily become an afterthought, how small daily decisions shape our relationship with God, and why being faithful in the little things prepares us for greater things. Because following Jesus isn't something we fit into our lives when we have time—it's the foundation everything else is built on. If you've been feeling distracted, spiritually dry, or challenged to put God back at the centre of your priorities, this episode will encourage you to live with greater purpose, faithfulness, and an eternal perspective.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honourable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.” — James 3:13 Have you ever wondered if you’re being humble… or if you’re just holding yourself back? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Shay for an honest conversation about true wisdom, humility, and what it looks like to live a life that reflects Jesus. Together, they unpack why wisdom isn’t just about what we know—it’s about how we live. They explore the difference between pride and insecurity, why humility isn’t about putting ourselves down, and how God calls us to step forward with courage because of who He is. Shay shares her own experience of feeling unqualified to step into worship, only to realise God wasn’t asking her to be perfect—He was asking her to be willing. Because humility isn’t thinking less of yourself. It’s recognising that everything we have comes from God, and trusting Him enough to use us for His purpose. If you’ve ever felt not good enough, held yourself back, or struggled to believe God could use you, this episode will encourage you to walk in confidence—not because of who you are, but because of who God is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourself, measuring yourself by the faith God has given us.” — Romans 12:3 Have you ever stopped to ask… “Am I using God’s perspective, or my own?” In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Shay for an honest conversation about pride, humility, and learning to see ourselves through God’s eyes. Together, they unpack why we often measure our lives against the wrong things—our achievements, other people, or our own opinions—and why true humility isn’t about thinking less of ourselves, but recognising our need for God. Because when we make ourselves the standard, we’ll always feel either proud or not enough. But when we let God define us, we discover grace, freedom, and the identity we were created for. If you’ve been trying to navigate life in your own strength, this episode will encourage you to look up and let God lead.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey friends! In this episode, Ash Owen (Couchman)  is joined by guest Mahala Cohen as they dive deep into Romans 12:16 (GNT): "Have the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties. Do not think of yourselves as wise." Ash opens up about how she once thought pride wasn’t her struggle—until God revealed otherwise. Together with Mahala, they unpack how pride can sneak into our lives in unexpected ways, and why embracing humility is key to spiritual growth. Mahala shares her own experiences with pride and how God’s gentle convictions have led her to greater self-awareness and transformation. If you’ve ever felt like pride wasn’t an issue for you, this conversation will help you see things from a fresh perspective.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” – Proverbs 9:10 Today, Ash is joined by her husband Toby as they unpack what it really means to fear God. Toby shares how he used to think it meant being scared of God, but he’s realised it’s actually about having awe and deep respect for Him. They talk about how having reverence for God shapes the way we make decisions, helps us become more teachable, and guides us to seek His wisdom rather than relying only on our own strength. Ash and Toby also reflect on their first year of marriage and how learning to slow down, listen, and seek God’s wisdom has helped them grow. If you’re someone who struggles to let go of control or wants to better understand what it means to fear God in a life-giving way, this conversation will be both practical and encouraging. ✨TICKETS FOR EVERYDAY JOY LIVE AVAILABLE HERE  Get Connected:Follow us on InstagramJoin the Facebook CommunityGot something to share?

In this special Heart-to-Heart episode of Everyday Joy, Ash sits down with Victoria Sinis, founder of Creating Gems, to hear her extraordinary testimony of moving from the adult content industry to a life completely transformed by Jesus. Victoria shares how years of searching for purpose, success, and identity led her into helping build one of Australia's largest OnlyFans agencies. What began as a business opportunity quickly became something she could no longer ignore, leaving her wrestling with deep questions about purpose, truth, and the value of every human life. After a series of unexpected encounters, Victoria met Christians who responded with compassion instead of condemnation—and everything changed. Within days she walked away from the industry, began following Jesus, and started a journey of healing, freedom, and discovering her true identity in Christ. Together, Ash and Victoria also unpack the realities of digital culture, the influence of pornography and social media on young people, the hope available for anyone struggling with shame or addiction, and why no one is beyond the redeeming love of God. This episode is an honest, hope-filled reminder that your past does not define your future. No matter where you've been or what you've walked through, Jesus is able to redeem, restore, and give you a brand new identity. https://www.instagram.com/victoria.sinis/  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil..." — 1 Timothy 6:10 Is money controlling you—or are you controlling it? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Jen for an honest conversation about one of the Bible's most misunderstood verses. Together, they unpack what Scripture actually says about money, wealth, and contentment, revealing that money itself isn't the problem—it's when money becomes the thing we trust, pursue, and build our identity around. Ash and Jen reflect on the messages they learned about money growing up, how financial pressure can quietly shape our priorities, and why so many of us find ourselves constantly chasing "just a little bit more." They also explore the powerful truth that contentment isn't something we stumble into—it's a spiritual discipline we learn. This episode is a reminder that God isn't against wealth, but He does want to protect our hearts from allowing money to become our master. Real freedom isn't found in having more—it's found in trusting God with what we already have. If you've ever felt anxious about finances, struggled with comparison, or found yourself believing that happiness is just one pay rise, promotion, or purchase away, this conversation will encourage you to pursue contentment, generosity, and a life centred on Christ instead of possessions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." — Ephesians 4:32 Why is forgiveness one of the hardest things God asks us to do? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Jen for an honest and deeply practical conversation about forgiveness. Together, they explore why our natural instinct is often to protect ourselves, seek justice, or hold onto hurt—and why Jesus invites us to choose a different path. They unpack what it really means to forgive, the difference between saying "I forgive you" and genuinely releasing someone, and why forgiveness is often a journey rather than a one-time decision. Jen also shares the beautiful way she's teaching her daughter about forgiveness through a simple illustration inspired by Bluey, reminding us that sometimes we need to intentionally let go of the hurt we've been carrying. This conversation is a powerful reminder that we don't forgive because people deserve it—we forgive because we've experienced the incredible forgiveness of Christ. As we grow closer to Jesus, kindness, compassion, and forgiveness become the evidence of a transformed heart. If you're struggling to forgive someone, carrying bitterness, or wondering how to love people who have hurt you, this episode will encourage you to take the next step toward freedom, healing, and living more like Jesus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life..." — Matthew 6:25 What do you do when trusting God feels harder than worrying? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Jen for a deeply honest conversation about anxiety, uncertainty, and learning to trust God when life feels completely out of your control. Together, they unpack Jesus' words from the Sermon on the Mount and explore why worry can so easily become our default response. They discuss how anxiety often reveals what we're placing our trust in, why God cares deeply about our everyday needs, and the difference between trying to control our future and surrendering it to Him. Jen vulnerably shares about walking through an incredibly uncertain season with her family, wrestling with unanswered questions, feeling frustrated with God, and discovering that faith isn't the absence of difficult emotions—it's choosing to trust Him in the middle of them. Ash also reflects on how the enemy uses fear and intimidation to keep us focused on the unknown, while God invites us to fix our eyes on His faithfulness instead. This episode is a reminder that God is big enough to handle our questions, our frustration, and even our anger. He isn't intimidated by our emotions, and His peace is available even when our circumstances haven't changed. If you're carrying anxiety about the future, waiting for answers, or struggling to trust God in a season of uncertainty, this conversation will encourage you to keep choosing faith over fear, hope over panic, and to remember that while we don't know what tomorrow holds, God always does.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Do all you can to live a peaceful life. Mind your own business and earn your own living..." — 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 (ERV) What if the greatest sermon you ever preach isn't with your words—but with the way you live? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Jen for an honest conversation about living a faith that's visible long before we ever mention we're a Christian. Together, they unpack Paul's encouragement to live peaceful, faithful, and responsible lives that point others to Jesus. They explore why integrity matters, how our everyday actions shape people's perception of God, and why following Jesus is about so much more than what we believe privately—it's about how we live publicly. Jen also shares how she tries to reflect Jesus through the ordinary moments of motherhood, work, and life's challenges, choosing to live with hope even when circumstances are difficult. Their conversation is a powerful reminder that faith isn't about having all the right words—it's about consistently living in a way that reflects the heart of Christ. This episode encourages us to consider the witness of our everyday lives. The way we speak, the way we treat people, the way we respond in difficult seasons, and the choices we make all have the opportunity to reveal God's love to the world around us. If you've ever wondered how to live out your faith in a practical way, or how to represent Jesus well in your workplace, family, friendships, and online, this conversation will inspire you to pursue a life of integrity, peace, and wholehearted devotion to God.

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." — Colossians 3:23 What if your everyday work—even the ordinary, unseen parts—could become an act of worship? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Jen for an encouraging conversation about finding purpose in every season of life. Whether you're building a career, studying, raising children, or simply trying to faithfully show up each day, this episode is a reminder that God sees every act of faithfulness. Together, they unpack what it means to work wholeheartedly for God rather than for recognition or approval, why our identity in Christ should shape the way we approach our responsibilities, and how even the most repetitive or unnoticed tasks can have eternal significance. Jen also shares honestly about the challenges of motherhood, navigating seasons where her work felt invisible, and how God helped her see that caring for her family was just as meaningful as any role in the workplace. This episode is a beautiful reminder that God isn't just interested in what we do—He's interested in how and why we do it. Every email, every meeting, every load of washing, every lecture, every shift, and every act of service can become an opportunity to honour Him.

"Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.’” — 1 Corinthians 15:33 Who has the loudest voice in your life? Your friends? Social media? Podcasts? Influencers? Or God's Word? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Shaylee to unpack Paul's warning in 1 Corinthians 15:33 and explore why the voices we listen to matter more than we often realise. Together, they discuss how the people we surround ourselves with—and the content we consume—can slowly shape our beliefs, values, and relationship with God. Ash and Shaylee reflect on the influence of social media, navigating difficult theological conversations, and the importance of knowing Scripture well enough to discern truth from opinion. They also share why healthy community isn't about isolating ourselves from the world but intentionally choosing people who point us towards Jesus. This conversation is a reminder that spiritual growth doesn't happen by accident. The voices we consistently allow into our lives will either strengthen our faith or slowly pull us away from it. That's why God's Word must always remain our foundation. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting opinions, struggled to know who to trust, or wanted to grow in biblical wisdom and discernment, this episode will encourage you to guard your heart, stay rooted in Scripture, and surround yourself with voices that lead you closer to Christ.   Get Connected: Follow Ash & Everyday Joy on Instagram!  Subscribe to Everyday Joy Podcast: Apple Podcasts | Spotify Join the conversation on Facebook: Everyday Joy Community   Get Connected: Follow Ash & Everyday Joy on Instagram!  Subscribe to Everyday Joy Podcast: Apple Podcasts | Spotify Join the conversation on Facebook: Everyday Joy Community See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." — Matthew 6:21 What if the clearest picture of your priorities isn't what you say—but how you spend your time and your money? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Shaylee to unpack Jesus' powerful words in Matthew 6:21 and explore what it really means to treasure the things of God. Together, they discuss how our calendars, bank statements, and everyday decisions often reveal what matters most to us. Ash and Shaylee share honest reflections on budgeting, family priorities, material possessions, and the challenge of holding the good things in life with open hands. They also explore the tension between enjoying God's blessings and making sure those blessings never take His place. This conversation is a reminder that following Jesus isn't about living with guilt or giving everything away—it's about regularly asking whether our hearts are centred on temporary treasures or eternal ones. When God becomes our greatest treasure, everything else begins to find its proper place. If you've been wrestling with your priorities, wondering how to keep God first in a busy life, or wanting to live with greater purpose and intentionality, this episode will encourage you to examine where your treasure truly lies—and discover the freedom that comes from putting Jesus first.

"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." — Colossians 3:12 What if following Jesus isn't just about what you believe—but about the kind of person you're becoming? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Shaylee to unpack Paul's encouragement to the church in Colossians and explore what it truly means to "clothe yourself" with the character of Christ. Together, they discuss why Paul first reminds believers of who they are—chosen, holy, and deeply loved—before telling them how to live. They also explore how easy it is to treat faith like a "pick and mix," embracing the parts of Christianity we enjoy while ignoring the parts that challenge us. This conversation is a practical reminder that compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience aren't personality traits reserved for certain people—they're qualities every follower of Jesus is called to put on each day. If you've been wanting your faith to move beyond belief and into everyday action, this episode will encourage you to let your identity in Christ shape every area of your life, one choice at a time Get Connected: Follow Ash & Everyday Joy on Instagram!  Subscribe to Everyday Joy Podcast: Apple Podcasts | Spotify Join the conversation on Facebook: Everyday Joy Community See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." — Proverbs 4:23 What does it actually mean to "guard your heart"? Is it about building walls—or making wise decisions about what we allow to shape us? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Shaylee to unpack one of the Bible's most quoted verses and explore why protecting our hearts is about so much more than relationships. Together, they discuss how our thoughts, friendships, entertainment, dating relationships, and everyday influences all shape the direction of our lives. Ash and Shaylee also share personal stories about learning the importance of healthy boundaries, guarding their hearts in relationships, and discovering that wisdom often means saying "not yet" instead of "why not?" This conversation is a reminder that guarding your heart isn't about living in fear—it's about intentionally protecting the person God is shaping you to become. Because what we consistently allow into our hearts will eventually flow into our words, decisions, and the way we live.

"For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." — Luke 14:11 Have you ever found yourself striving for recognition, approval, or a place of importance? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Lydia to unpack Jesus' powerful words in Luke 14:11. Together, they explore what true humility looks like in everyday life, why our value isn't determined by status or recognition, and how we can find confidence in knowing that our worth comes from God alone. Ash and Lydia discuss the challenge of resisting the need to promote ourselves, choosing to serve others without seeking personal honour, and trusting God to determine our place rather than striving to elevate ourselves. It's an encouraging conversation about surrender, humility, and the freedom that comes when we stop chasing significance and rest in who God says we are. If you've ever felt overlooked, struggled with comparison, or found yourself seeking validation from others, this episode is a reminder that God's view of you matters most.

It's a vulnerable conversation about finding hope beyond changing circumstances and learning to anchor our hearts in what Jesus has already done. If you've been feeling spiritually tired, overwhelmed by the voices around you, or wondering how to keep going when faith feels like a daily battle, this episode is a reminder that you're not called to fight in your own strength.

Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2 Life was never meant to be lived alone. Yet so many of us try to carry our struggles in silence. In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Lydia for an honest conversation about what it truly means to "carry one another's burdens." Together, they explore why God designed us for community, how simple acts of presence can make a profound difference, and why we don't have to fix someone's problems to faithfully support them. They also discuss one of the hardest parts of living in community: vulnerability. Why is it so difficult to ask for help? What keeps us saying "I'm fine" when we're really struggling? And how can we become the kind of people who notice when someone needs encouragement? Whether you're carrying a heavy season yourself or want to be a better friend to someone who is, this episode is a beautiful reminder that God often brings comfort through the people He places around us. You weren't created to carry life's burdens on your own—and neither was anyone else.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Together, they explore the context of Micah 6:8, where God's people had become consumed by religious rituals while missing what mattered most: justice, mercy, humility, and obedience.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that following Jesus isn't about earning God's love—it's about responding to it. As we experience His grace, we're called to extend that same justice, compassion, and mercy to others every single day. If you've ever wondered what God is really asking of you, this episode will encourage you to stop striving, start walking closely with Him, and live out your faith in practical, everyday moments.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Lydia to explore what Proverbs 19:17 teaches about generosity, compassion, and seeing people the way Jesus does. Together, they unpack why caring for others isn't just a nice thing to do—it's at the very heart of God's character.
