    89 | Never Be Too Busy to Take It to God: The Difference Between Emotional Regulation and Suppressing It

    Do you tell yourself you're regulating your emotions when honestly, you're just stuffing them down and moving on? Have you said "I need to take this to God" and then never actually made the time to do it? What if the line between handling it and burying it is thinner than you think? There's a fine line between emotional suppression and emotional regulation, and it is easy to cross without noticing. In this episode, Ash gets honest about falling back over that line herself. She thought she was practicing biblical emotional regulation, and she was actually living in suppression. She kept telling her husband she needed to take it to God in prayer, and then never made the time to do it. When he pointed that out, she was not exactly thrilled with him. It was humbling, and it's exactly why she's sharing it. She is not teaching this from a place of having it perfected, she needs the reminder too, because at the end of the day we are all sinful by nature. If you've been holding it together on the outside while nothing underneath ever gets brought to God, this is the distinction worth catching before it catches you.

    88 | You're Waiting for a Burning Bush and God Is Whispering: The Patience It Takes to Hear God

    Have you been waiting for your burning bush moment, the big undeniable sign, and heard nothing at all? Do you feel weary and behind, like everyone else can hear God and something must be wrong with you? What if you're not unworthy, and not too late; you just haven't built the skill yet? In this episode, Ash gets honest about what it takes to actually hear God when you've been straining for something dramatic. Hearing Him is a skill, and like any skill it gets built through practice, which is exactly what the CASTLE prayer framework is for at one hour a week. But there's a second piece most of us skip: if you spent years blaming God for everything that went wrong, trust between you got broken, and trust doesn't rebuild through wishing. It rebuilds the way it does in any relationship, through actual conversation. And conversations go both ways. You have to listen. Have patience with yourself, slow down long enough to hear Him, and stop treating the silence as evidence that you're doing it wrong.

    87 | Stop Asking Everyone But God! The Spiritual Healing in Knowing God's Character

    Have you ever taken a vote among friends about what God is really like, instead of just asking Him yourself? Do you find yourself piecing together your faith from other people's opinions, secretly wondering if any of them actually have it right? Tired of hearing ten different answers to "is God good" and still not knowing what you actually believe? In this episode, I get honest about a season when I was struggling with my faith and started polling people for their opinions on God, basically taking a consensus instead of going to the source. Thankfully I learned discernment along the way, but here's the shift: the best place to learn who God is, is from God Himself. I walk through a simple practice, opening your Bible, going to the index, and looking up His characteristics, as the real way to answer "is God good," because you'll know Him from Him, not from everyone else's take. Knowing His character for yourself is where the spiritual healing starts. This episode is for the weary mom who's been collecting other people's opinions about God instead of trusting her own relationship with Him. We all have different relationships with God, because we're all different people, and that's exactly as it should be. We should talk about God every chance we get, we just have to be careful whose opinions we actually let shape what we believe, because a lot of people get God wrong. Practice mentioned in this episode: Open your Bible, go to the index, and look up God's characteristics, a simple way to know His character straight from Him.

    86 | Have Patience With Yourself: Pass Your Stress to God With Biblical Emotional Regulation

    Have you ever told someone "you are stressing me out" and realized they were asking for something you simply didn't have the capacity to give? Do you feel weary, stretched past your limit, and starting to notice it in your body and your health? What if you didn't have to grip your way through the spiral, or pretend to God that it isn't happening? In this episode, Ash walks through a framework for passing what you're carrying straight to God, before it takes over your day, your body, and your relationships. Scripture already tells us to cast our anxiety on Him. This is about what that actually looks like in the moment, when the pressure is building and you can feel yourself about to lose it. Biblical emotional regulation isn't about suppressing what you feel or performing calm you don't have. It's staying completely honest with God while handing Him the weight instead of gripping it tighter. You'll also hear why having patience with yourself is not the same as making excuses, and why the goal was never a perfect relationship with God, just the one you actually want with Him. Ash teaches the full framework inside this episode.

    85 | What You Scroll Is Shaping You: The Self Control to Protect Your Peace From What You Consume

    Have you ever gotten so pulled into a story, a trial, a show, or somebody else's life online that you couldn't put it down? Do you feel weary and anxious and can't quite trace where it started? What if the thing quietly draining your peace isn't your circumstances at all, but what you've been letting in? In this episode, Ash gets honest about becoming deeply invested in the Lindsay Clancy trial and the Secret Life of Mormon Wives, and what Scripture says about protecting what reaches your heart. There's nothing wrong with caring, but Proverbs tells us to guard our hearts above all else, and that "above all else" was never a suggestion. We're called to love people and serve them, but not at the cost of the very thing our connection with God runs through. Ash takes a deep dive through Proverbs 4 to unpack what guarding your heart actually looks like: watching what you consume, keeping your eyes fixed forward, and hiding God's word where it can do its work. This is self control applied where most of us never think to apply it, and the peace from God you've been chasing may be waiting on the other side of it. The best way to guard your heart is to drop everything and run to Jesus.

    84 | Is It God’s Will To Hit Rock Bottom? The Emotional Regulation Prayer That Rescued Me

    Have you ever had to fall apart completely before you could finally accept the help that was right in front of you? Do you feel weary and out of control, like you need more self control just to hold it together, wondering if you had to hit rock bottom just to notice God was trying to rescue you the whole time? If you're anxious, unhappy, and struggling to regulate your emotions right now, asking "God, really? Did I have to suffer this much?"... this episode is for you. In this episode, I open up about something I don't love talking about — because look where I am now. But I know I need to say it, because I needed to hear it. For a long time, it was easy for me to blame God for my hardships. I needed to hit rock bottom before I could actually appreciate the rescue He had in store for me. But here's what I've learned: God doesn't delight in our suffering. He's concerned for us, and He rescues us. But we have to pray.
