The Gift of Soft
Remember last week when I told you we were preparing for a potential hurricane hit over the weekend? Well, there wasn’t anything potential about it. The rain wasn’t an issue, but the winds really got us (thanks to a rare weather phenomenon known as a sting jet), and there were pockets of extreme...
-
Vulnerability and Celebration
An embarrassing story, a happy ending, and getting to use two of my favorite words (proportional and begets) in a podcast — this one has got it all, y’all. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit...

You’re here for a reason.
September is Suicide Prevention Month, and I want to take a few minutes to read something I believe is a reminder we all need every now and then. If you’re struggling — please reach out to a friend, a neighbor, a coworker, a cashier, anyone. Or call the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988. This is…

You were made for this.
Continuing the conversation from last week with a fresh take on a familiar verse that has made all the difference. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit ashajuneoh.substack.com/subscribe

Pregnancy Part Three
Right after the nurse ran out of the ultrasound room to grab the doctor and tell her it was twins, the doctor came in and said, “well, let’s make sure there are only two!” Thankfully, only two. Keeping it short and sweet this week and answering the three most common questions we’ve gotten as…

Only God could write this story.
I could not make this up in my wildest imagination or dreams, friends. Skip to 6:30 for perhaps the most fun question I’ve ever been asked — NO MA’AM, WE DID NOT KNOW THERE WERE TWO BABIES — but hopefully you’ll listen to the whole 17 minutes and be encouraged to believe the stone-cold-truth that...
-
Coming in HOT.
You read that right, friends. It’s been a wild and wacky summer, and I am overjoyed and flabbergasted in all the best ways. Listen in for part one, and come back next week for part TWO. ps. As promised, the link to the podcast episode I can’t get enough of. This is a public episode. If you'd like...

Intended Design // Intimacy & Pleasure
This post has been sitting in my Drafts folder for more than two years. I’m equal parts excited and anxious to dip my toe in this pool, but you know what?! We are about FREEDOM around these parts. (And around all the parts, if you catch my drift?!) BUT FIRST! Some TAJOR Housekeeping. (TAJOR = The...
-
Intended Design // Wellness
Honestly can’t believe it’s taken me this long to throw in a Little Mermaid reference! But seriously, I hope this short and sweet and simple reminder brings you freedom. Knowledge can be a great gift, but knowledge itself is not what sets us free. Knowledge of truth is what sets us free. “…you…

Intended Design // Womanhood & Motherhood
Before we even get started, I need to make it very clear that I do not believe motherhood is the end-all-be-all of womanhood. Motherhood is a beautiful gift, but it is not the ultimate gift. I titled this the way I did because I am talking about both in this podcast. And while you must be a woman...
-
Intended Design // Real Faith
This month, we’re digging into God’s intended design for different aspects of life and creation. First up… faith! This is simply 12 minutes of me sharing a real experience from my very real life. Because that’s who faith was designed for — not infallible robots in a simulation but real people in...
-
On living your dash...
You may have noticed the little line on my wrist in pictures or in person — it’s simply a dash — and I’m excited to share the story (or poem, rather) behind the ink. It’s a family tradition with a very exciting and eventful inception. (Side note: getting a tattoo with my mother-in-law and...
-
On fortune cookies...
This is a real fun one today. A seemingly silly and simple story that is so special to me and actually pretty dang significant. Today (April 23rd) is the anniversary of the Fortune Cookie Date. Seventeen years ago, God spoke to my heart through two little slips of paper. Listen in for all the...
-
On obliterating boundaries...
Inspired by Caroline Chambers’ honest and heartfelt post: “i’ve been talking to God a lot lately” I’ve been so eager to record and release this conversation, friends. I hope this truth meets you right where you are and moves you toward the One from whom you were made and for whom you were made.…
more -
On the hope of Heaven...
I hope you’ll take the time to listen in this week, friends. Not because I’m anything special but because Jesus is everything good. And because the promise of everlasting life is actually really wonderful when we know the life we’re being promised. Happiest Holy Week to you and yours. This is a...
-
On hearing from God...
I had the honor of speaking at a local church recently about hearing from God. Not because I’m an expert on the topic — actually quite the opposite. I chose this topic because it’s always been a sticky spot for me, and I desperately wanted to experience some sort of breakthrough in this area.…
more -
On choosing to abide...
This is a sweet one, friends. (Fruit pun totally intended.) I had the opportunity to teach at a local women’s gathering recently, and it was very special. I’ve got that feeling that I’m right where I’m supposed to be, doing just what I’m supposed to be doing, you know? It hasn’t always been this...
-
On doing it afraid...
Happy Launch Week to a very special collaborative book project: The Other Disciples: Conversations About The Twelve Named Women Jesus Called to Follow Him It’s a collaborative book project BY women, ABOUT women, and FOR women; and I had the great joy and honor of writing the last chapter — the...
-
On pursuit...
Short and sweet story time today, friends. Because at the end of the day, that’s what we’ve got, right? Our stories. Our lived experiences. Stories are what connect us, what encourage us, what keep us going. Stories are the source of wonder, connection, and hope — and you know that’s what we’re...
-
On practicing imperfect faith...
Our souls were made by God and for God. That’s the pull you feel — to beauty, to goodness, to love. A relationship with God is for you. It’s what your soul wants. It’s what will satisfy. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus…
more -
On inevitable suffering and inherent glory...
In 2023, I was invited to teach at a local church and do a series on their podcast. After a decade of writing and teaching about faith (but always hesitantly and with asterisks), this invitation is what finally helped me to see that this is how God wired me. This invitation helped me to step into...
-
On why I have hope...
If you do not have hope, I have some to share. And if you do have hope, now is the time to share it. Now is the time to give a reason for the hope that you have, but always with gentleness and respect. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to...
-
On making peace...
Curious. Compassionate. Connected. Those are powerful words — powerful descriptors that I would imagine 99.9% of us hope could be used to describe us. Words that we hope could be used to describe how we engage not only with the world around us but with ourselves. Wherever we are on our journeys…
more -
On the importance of proximity...
Diving right on into the deep end in this third week of the new year. We’re talking about pushing back the darkness in this divided world by coming together, getting close, seeking out proximity with people, seeing the humanity in everyone. When we keep others at arms length, it’s easy to then…
more -
On ease...
Thinking and grieving and thinking and grieving, and realizing that life is hard. (Groundbreaking, huh?) But also realizing that the antidote to the hard isn’t to pursue ease — ease is a gift we can receive with gratitude — but it’s not the point of life, and the pursuit of it is pointless. The…
more -
On divine delay...
Grateful for y’all sticking with me through the both/and of this podcast, friends. The tears and the celebration. The weariness and the hope. We are here to have messy, honest conversations; and today was definitely that. Today, we’re talking about when detours, disappointments, setbacks, and...
-
On reckoning...
I’m a big fan of context. Without it, the passage we’re talking about today is mildly encouraging at best and could be received as downright hurtful at worst. Let’s get to the root so we can bloom. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to…
more -
On going to your arms (continued)...
Last week, we talked about the physical act of going to your arms while running and what it means to go to your arms spiritually. It’s a really cool connection and conversation, sparked by something my husband shared with me. I left the house for dropoff/the gym/all the errands, and when I got...
-
On going to your arms...
Whew. Raw is the only word I’ve got for the state I was in when I recorded this. And wouldn’t you know the act of recording and lamenting and remembering what is true turned my day right around? This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus...
-
On freedom from fear...
Continuing the conversation on freedom (maybe forever) with a fun one today. Part of this pod is a cut from This Hope: A Journey of Getting to Know God, and today is the day these words get their time in the sun. If you haven’t read my whole heart in black and white, the “journal entry” reference...
-
On the state of my soul...
This is freedom like I’ve never known or even dared to consider. And there is no magic, no formula, no secret, no supplement. It’s yours for the taking too. Today’s the day, friend. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes…
more -
On getting honest with God...
Lament may sound like a weird or churchy word, but I’m going to boldly claim that it’s the most powerful and practical gift ever. Lean in, lament, and be filled with the truth that leads to freedom. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to...
-
On where we're headed...
Whew. This one has had a hold on me for weeks, y’all. And it was ready to be let loose. A special guest joins me for a few minutes, and I promise you every bit of this 18:37 is for you. ps. The song we talked about is Jimmy Needham's For Freedom. So good. This is a public episode. If you'd like…
more -
On inevitable suffering and inherent glory...
If we turn to God, our inevitable suffering will bring out our inherent glory. It’s a bold claim, but I can say with complete certainty that it is true, because I have lived it. And our first response is probably why? Can’t we just go around the suffering and get to the glory? And the hard truth...
-
Summer Mixtape // On falling fruit...
Feeling all the feels as school starts soon. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit ashajuneoh.substack.com/subscribe
-
Summer Mixtape // On making a dent...
Wherever you are — mentally, emotionally, or physically — as summer winds down, I know this will meet you. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit ashajuneoh.substack.com/subscribe
-
Summer Mixtape // On numb nerves...
Talking living numb versus living fully alive and what our bodies can teach us about how to get from the former to the latter. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit ashajuneoh.substack.com/subscribe
-
Summer Mixtape // On abundance over excess...
I’m back this week and talking about abundance versus excess and how they seem very similar but fill our lives in very different ways. And settling for second best never satisfies. I’m grateful for your ears and your heart and your time, and I know this will meet you right where you are. This is…
more -
Summer Mixtape // On grace and peace...
Grace and peace to you, friends. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit ashajuneoh.substack.com/subscribe
-
Summer Mixtape // On being held back...
God is not cruel. God does not hold you back with an evil grin and hands that won’t ever let go. No. God holds you back and weeps with your weary soul but continues to hold you with all tenderness because he knows the joy that is to come. You will not be held back forever. We will not be held…
more -
On claiming versus reflecting...
As the subtitle implies, this ended up being an emotional episode. My heart is so heavy, and sharing it with you is all I can think to do. So today is part grief and part celebration, as is often the state of our human hearts, right? All the things, all at once. Today, I’m talking about the state...
-
On soft hearts...
Thanks to the worst case of laryngitis I have ever experienced, this is a #throwbackthursday. And honestly, I’m so excited about it. Because the words I’m sharing with you are some of my most favorite words I have ever had the pleasure and joy of writing and speaking. I’m sharing Chapter Two of...
-
On snow...
Catching up on this 87th day of January. It’s been a very full month over here, and there have been lots of fun things keeping me from this space (a surprise birthday trip for our five year old - yay!, and SNOW IN FLORIDA - listen on for lots more thoughts on this). I keep staring at that…
more -
On remaining...
It’s been asked a million times, a million ways: What’s the meaning of life? What’s the point? What’s the purpose? What is life on this earth all about? Fruit and joy. We are to be fruitful and full of joy. Not happiness, although happiness is wonderful and fun and absolutely a gift from God. But...
-
On hell, healing, and holding...
Purposely awful audio quality (you’ll understand within the first couple minutes) to kick off the new year! I’m excited, y’all. I don’t know what it is about this year, but I feel that buzz. After a year of hell and a year of healing, I’m feeling good in a way I haven’t in a while. As promised,...
-
On a big twist...
We celebrate the cradle because of the cross. We celebrate the birth because of the death, because of the resurrection and death’s defeat. We celebrate the baby born to become the man who would shed his blood to forever reconnect creation to Creator. Joy to the world, indeed. This is a public...
-
On remembering to rest...
Keeping this super short because I know you’re doing and remembering a million things right now. But in the midst of the hustle and bustle, I hope you’ll grab a hot beverage or take a quick walk and let this invitation and reminder soothe your soul for six and a half minutes. This is a public...
-
On the mystery and the miracle...
Jesus’ birth and first visitors proclaim perhaps the most mysterious miracle of all: God chooses us to be the carriers of his presence. Us. With our messy hearts and broken bodies. Us. Carriers of the presence of God, which means carriers of true hope, joy, and peace. God invites us to carry his...
-
On the truth about adoption...
Adoption is an easy decision for some and a very difficult decision for others. It was very difficult for me. God used 58 months of infertility to soften my heart to adoption - more like meat-tenderize my heart to adoption. And even then, I had so much fear. So much fear about mothering a child I...
-
On soul rest...
Soul rest that sustains and strengthens no matter our circumstances is real and possible. Soul rest in the midst of the unknown. Soul rest in knowing what we are and are not responsible for. Soul rest when life is not physically, mentally, or emotionally restful. This is an invitation to freedom,...
