    God, How Do We Be a Representation of You? | Romans 1:17 with Kate Westwood

    Sometimes faith isn’t about the big, dramatic moments — it’s about what we do in the everyday. In this episode, we unpack Romans 1:17 (MSG): This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, 'It is through faith that a righteous person has life. What does it actually mean to really live? Not just believing in God—but living in a way that reflects Him in the everyday moments… the ones we usually rush past. From choosing presence over distraction… to being aware enough to bring peace into chaotic situations… this conversation challenges the way we move through our daily lives. We talk about: What righteousness looks like in real life (hint: it’s not perfection) The difference between performing faith and actually living it Why God wants to work not just in you—but through you How small, ordinary moments can become powerful opportunities If you’ve ever felt like your faith has become routine or surface-level, this episode will help you refocus and re-engage. ✨ Because real faith isn’t just something we believe— it’s something we live out, moment by moment.   Get Connected: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everydayjoypod Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/everydayjoypodcast/ Email us: everydayjoy@positivemedia.com.au TheLight: thelight.com.au/everydayjoy See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The tension between our plans vs God’s will | Matthew 16:24 with Kate

    What if the biggest gap in your faith… is actually trust? In this episode, we unpack one of the most challenging things Jesus ever said: Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” — Matthew 16:24 But what does that actually look like in real life? We get honest about: Why we say we trust God… but don’t always live like it How our prayers change when we truly believe God is already with us The tension between our plans vs God’s will What it really means to deny yourself (and what it doesn’t mean) And why following Jesus is less about perfection… and more about daily surrender This conversation will challenge you to ask: If I really believed God was with me, how would I live? Because real faith isn’t just believing in God— it’s trusting Him enough to lay your life down and follow.

    Comparison, Fear & Self-Doubt… Let’s Actually Deal With It | 1 Peter 5:8 With Shaylee

    Ever had those thoughts creep in… “I’m not good enough.” “I’m behind.” “I can’t do this.” In today’s episode, we unpack 1 Peter 5:8. “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” We have a real, honest conversation about insecurity, comparison, fear, and the power of your thought life. Because here’s the truth:  Not every thought you have is from God. And if you don’t take control of your thoughts, something else will. We talk about: What it actually means to be “sober-minded” (it’s deeper than you think) How the enemy targets your specific weak points Why comparison and self-doubt hit so hard (especially in seasons like parenting) And how to take your thoughts captive and replace lies with truth This episode is a reminder to stay alert, aware, and anchored in truth—because the battle often starts in your mind.

    Stop Saying “Later” to God | Staying Ready, Not Comfortable | Mark 13:33 with Shaylee

    “Be on guard. Be alert. You do not know when the time will come.” — Mark 13:33 In this episode, Ash and Shaylee dive into a powerful and often overlooked truth: we’re not called to a passive, “I’ll get serious later” kind of faith… we’re called to be awake. It’s so easy to fall into the mindset of: “I’ll deal with that later” “One day I’ll get right with God” “One day I’ll take my faith seriously” But this verse challenges that completely. Through honest conversation, relatable moments (including the reality of busy seasons, motherhood, and feeling stretched), this episode explores what it really looks like to live a faith that’s active, aware, and ready—not perfect, but surrendered. In this episode, we talk about: What it means to “stay awake” in your faith The danger of a “one day” mindset Why delayed obedience can quietly pull us away from God How to live ready without striving for perfection Having a heart posture that is prepared for Jesus This isn’t about fear… it’s about living with intention. Because we don’t know when the time will come— but we do know how we’re called to live in the meantime 🤍 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Slow Drift: How We Wander Without Realising | Isaiah 53:6 with Shaylee

    Come hang out at Everyday Joy LIVE! Book your ( free ) tickets here! ✨  Sometimes it’s not the big, rebellious decisions that pull us away from God… it’s the small ones. In this episode, Ash and Shaylee unpack Isaiah 53:6: “We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Wandering doesn’t usually start with a decision to walk away. It starts subtly—small compromises, quiet moments, little choices that slowly lead us off track. But this conversation isn’t just about drifting… it’s about freedom. Because the truth is—we don’t have to stay stuck in those patterns. Jesus already carried it. Every mistake, every moment of wandering, every step off track. In this episode, we explore: Why drifting from God is often gradual, not dramatic The role of conviction and the Holy Spirit in our lives What it means to have a healthy “fear of God” How to recognise when you’re starting to wander And how we can live in the freedom Jesus has already given us This is your reminder: We all wander… but because of Jesus, we are always invited back—and we can live free 🤍   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    SHAYLEE’S BACK! Juggling Mum Life & THIS VERSE JUST GOT DEEPER?! | John 3:16 with Shaylee

    Come hang out at Everyday Joy LIVE! Book your ( free ) tickets here! ✨  We all know this verse… but do we really understand it? In this episode, Ash is joined by Shaylee to unpack one of the most well-known Scriptures in the Bible—John 3:16—and discover the deeper meaning behind it: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” What does “only begotten Son” actually mean? And how does it reveal something powerful about who Jesus truly is? As they explore the original meaning of the text, this conversation uncovers a profound truth: Jesus isn’t just sent by God—He is of the same nature as God. This episode dives into: The deeper meaning behind “only begotten Son” (monogenes) How this verse points to the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus Seeing God’s love through a whole new lens The difference between believing in God and truly believing God Whether you’ve heard this verse your whole life or you’re rediscovering it again—this episode will help you see it with fresh eyes. Because this isn’t just a famous verse… it’s the foundation of everything 🤍 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    “I GOT HUMBLED” | Trusting, Even When God Doesn’t Do What You Expected | Psalm 145:18 with Ro Alford

    Come hang out at Everyday Joy LIVE! Book your ( free ) tickets here! ✨  What happens when God doesn’t respond the way we expected—or when life doesn’t unfold how we thought it would? In this honest and deeply personal episode, Ash and Ro talk about being humbled in the middle of disappointment, uncertainty, and waiting, and what it looks like to still choose to call on God anyway. This conversation is anchored in Psalm 145:18: “The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.” Because God isn’t distant, delayed, or unreachable—He is near. But often, the invitation is simple: call on Him. This episode explores: What it means to call on God in truth, not just in crisis Learning to trust God when feelings don’t line up with faith Being humbled when things don’t go your way The simplicity of coming to God directly, honestly, and fully If you’ve ever felt like God didn’t move how you expected—or like you’ve had to wrestle through disappointment—this episode will remind you: He is near. Even here. Even now. 🤍 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
