    Bringing Your Pain to God | Psalm 34:18 with Jenny Lui-Jong

    Support the podcast and help keep these conversations going: https://donate.thelight.com.au/   What do you do when you're hurting so much that you don't even know how to pray? In this Best Moments episode, Ash and Jen unpack the powerful promise of Psalm 34:18: "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." Together, they explore the reality of grief, disappointment, anger, and heartbreak—and why God never asks us to hide those emotions from Him. Instead of pretending we're okay, this conversation encourages us to bring our pain honestly before God, trusting that He is closest to us in the moments we feel weakest. From parenting and emotional health to surrender and spiritual growth, Ash and Ben discuss why acknowledging our emotions is often the first step toward healing, and how God meets us with compassion in the middle of our mess. God isn't waiting for you to have it all together. He's inviting you to bring your brokenness, your questions, and your pain to Him—and discover that He's already there.

    Set Your Eyes on What Matters | Colossians 3:1–2 With Mahala Cohen

    Support the podcast and help keep these conversations going: https://donate.thelight.com.au/“Since then you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above…” In this episode of Hart to Hart, we dive into Colossians 3:1–2 and unpack what it really means to live with an eternal mindset in a world full of distraction. From busy schedules and constant commitments to the pull of social media, entertainment, and everyday pressures, we explore how easily our focus drifts from what truly matters. This conversation gets honest about how distraction can quietly shape our faith—sometimes even more than obvious sin—and how it can leave us spiritually drained, dissatisfied, or disconnected from God’s voice. We talk about what it looks like to re-centre our lives, renew our thinking, and intentionally set our eyes on heaven in practical, everyday ways. Not through perfection, but through awareness, surrender, and consistent heart checks. If you’ve been feeling busy, scattered, or spiritually distracted, this episode is a timely reminder: you were made for more than survival and schedules—you were made to live with purpose, focus, and eternity in mind.

    Why Serving Others Changes Us | Titus 3:14 With Ro Alford

    Support the podcast and help keep these conversations going: https://donate.thelight.com.au/   What if the key to a full life isn't found in focusing on yourself—but in serving others? In this Best Moments episode, Ash and Ro explore Titus 3:14 and unpack the biblical call to live a life of service. Together, they discuss why serving isn't just about volunteering at church—it's about carrying the heart of Jesus into our everyday relationships, workplaces, families, and communities. Drawing on Jesus washing His disciples' feet, they reflect on what true humility looks like and how even small acts of kindness can have a powerful impact. Whether it's a phone call, a meal for a friend, or simply noticing someone's need, serving others often changes our hearts just as much as it helps the people around us. The most fulfilling life isn't found in constantly asking, "What do I need?" but in asking, "How can I show the love of Jesus to someone today?" If you've been feeling stretched, stuck, or searching for greater purpose, this conversation is a timely reminder that a life poured out for others is never an empty one. ❤️ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Are You Obeying God or Just Showing Up? | Amos 5:24 With Toby Couchman

    Can you love God, go to church, sing the songs... and still be living in disobedience? In this Best Moments episode, Ash and Toby unpack a challenging passage from Amos 5:24 and explore the difference between simply going through the motions and genuinely living a life that reflects God's heart. Drawing from the prophet Amos' message to Israel, they discuss how easy it is to maintain the appearance of faith while neglecting the deeper call to justice, righteousness, and obedience. Together, they wrestle with what it means to have a relationship with God that goes beyond ritual and becomes an everyday pursuit of His ways. If you've ever felt stuck in routine, disconnected from your faith, or challenged by the gap between what you believe and how you live, this conversation is a powerful reminder that God isn't looking for perfection—He's looking for hearts that are willing to follow Him.

    How Do I Hear God’s Voice? ( We actually go through it! ) | Rev. Dr. Tania Harris

    What does it actually mean to hear God's voice? And how do you know if it's really God speaking? In this episode, Ash sits down with Rev. Dr. Tanya Harris, a pastor, theologian, and author who has dedicated years of study—including a PhD—to understanding how God speaks and how believers can learn to recognise His voice ( She LITERALLY has a PHD in hearing God's voice... HOW COOL?! )  Together, they unpack some of the biggest questions Christians wrestle with: Does God still speak today? How can we tell the difference between God's voice and our own thoughts? What does hearing from God look like in everyday life? Whether you've heard God speak clearly before, or you're wondering if it's even possible, this conversation offers practical wisdom, biblical insight, and encouragement to help you grow in confidence as you learn to listen. If you've ever prayed, "God, are You speaking to me?"—this episode is for you. 🎙️✨ God Conversations Website: https://www.godconversations.com/tania-harris/ God Conversations Book: https://www.godconversations.com/product/god-conversations-the-book/ Support the podcast and help keep these conversations going: https://donate.thelight.com.au/ 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.

    Why We Keep Taking the Long Way Around? |  Proverbs 24:5 with Shaylee

    Support the podcast and help keep these conversations going: https://donate.thelight.com.au/ Are you relying on God's wisdom—or just pushing through in your own strength? In this episode, Ash and Shay unpack Proverbs 24:5 and wrestle with a challenging question: how often do we make life harder by trying to handle everything ourselves? Reflecting on Israel's journey through the wilderness, they explore the striking reality that a trip that should have taken just eleven days ended up lasting forty years. Not because God abandoned His people, but because they struggled to trust Him fully. Together, they discuss the tension between knowing the right thing to do and actually living it out, the dangers of relying solely on our own abilities, and why true wisdom begins with seeking God before we reach the end of ourselves. If you've ever felt stuck, weary, or like you're taking the long road through a difficult season, this conversation is a reminder that God's wisdom is always available—and His way is better than our own.  Proverbs 24:5 "The wise prevail through great power, and those who have knowledge muster their strength." (or GNT: "It's better to be wise than strong; intelligence outranks muscle any day.")   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Why Are We Harshest to the People We Love? | 1 John 2:6 with Shaylee

    What would people see if they watched your life every day? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash and Shay unpack 1 John 2:6 and wrestle with a challenging question: if we say we follow Jesus, does our life reflect Him? Together, they explore how becoming more like Christ isn't about perfection—it's about direction. From the small compromises that slowly shape our character to the way we treat the people closest to us, this conversation is a powerful reminder that faith is meant to be lived, not just spoken about. Ash and Shay share honest reflections on family relationships, everyday frustrations, personal growth, and the ongoing journey of becoming more like Jesus. It's a conversation filled with grace, encouragement, and a practical challenge to take a fresh look at how we're living. Following Jesus isn't about getting everything right. It's about allowing Him to transform us over time so that our lives increasingly reflect His love, grace, and character.   Donate here: https://donate.thelight.com.au  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Emotion We Avoid Talking About | John 15:13 with Shaylee

    What do you do with anger when it shows up? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash and Shay dive into honest conversation about anger, self-control, and what it really looks like to process emotions in a healthy way. From everyday frustrations (like the great “Stanley cup debate”) to deeper wounds we tend to brush past, they explore why ignoring anger doesn’t make it disappear—it just lets it build. Anchored in John 15:13 and Proverbs 25:28, this conversation unpacks the idea that anger itself isn’t the enemy—but what we do with it matters. They talk about calling things out instead of burying them, bringing emotions honestly before God, and learning that self-control isn’t suppression, but wisdom in action. If you’ve ever struggled to process what you feel without shutting down or blowing up, this episode will help you find a healthier way forward—one rooted in honesty, healing, and grace.Donate here: https://donate.thelight.com.au  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
