Hosted by Sydney and Ashley the Amen and Again podcast is created from real-life struggles and the need to be reminded of God’s truth even when it’s already known. Citing 2 Corinthians 1:20, they explain that while God’s promises are “yes and amen,” people sometimes need to hear those promises again—especially women who feel overwhelmed, are in a waiting season, or are doing the right things but still feel weary. Each week the podcast will focus on one promise from scripture, break down what it means, and discuss how it applies to real life through honest, no-fluff conversation and encouragement. We invite you to subscribe and share, and want to give you a free seven-day devotional via Instagram or the show notes. https://beacons.ai/amenandagainpod

    Episode 18: "Let God Make the Room"

    Mind Your Business and Let God Mind Your Reputation: David, Saul, and Trusting God’s Promotion On the Amen & Again podcast, Ashley and Sydney close their “Mind Your Business and Let God Mind His” series with a conversation about words and reputation, joined by “Baby Wes.” They discuss the instinct to correct misunderstandings and teach that it isn’t their business to make a name for themselves but to work heartily for the Lord, citing Colossians 3:23. Using David sparing Saul in the cave (1 Samuel 24:6), they highlight honoring God’s anointed even when it looks weak or feels undeserved, trusting God’s timing over personal justice. They connect this to Proverbs 18:16 and Psalm 75:6–7, emphasizing that gifts make room and God promotes without self-promotion. They challenge listeners to identify a “Saul” to honor, avoid undercutting others, seek community, and end with prayer and resources for devotionals and prayer support. 00:00 Correcting Misunderstandings 00:38 Series Finale Setup 01:58 David And Saul Cave 03:18 Work Unto The Lord 06:14 Honor Over Reputation 09:15 God Makes Room 14:35 Lie Versus Truth 15:21 Who Is Your Saul 19:12 Working With Humility 21:46 Series Recap And Community 25:53 Prayer And Sendoff https://beacons.ai/amenandagainpod

    Episode 17: "Sparrows, Lilies, and the Tithe"

    Tithing: Mind Your Business and Let God Mind His In episode two of the Amen & Again podcast series “Mind Your Business and Let God Mind His,” the hosts discuss tithing and the line between believers’ responsibility and God’s provision, arguing it was never our job to make ends meet. They read Malachi 3:10, emphasizing the tithe as a required first 10% brought to God’s house, not leftovers, time, guilt, or a transaction to make God “owe” us. They share a personal testimony of financial disorder and debt when not tithing, then repentance and obedience that led to opened doors, provision, and progress while living on 90%. Supporting scriptures include Matthew 6:26, 28–29 and 6:33 about God caring for birds and lilies and adding what’s needed when the Kingdom is sought first, plus Deuteronomy 28’s blessings for obedience. They challenge listeners to try tithing for a month, offer help finding a church, and close with prayer against anxiety and generational poverty. 00:00 Why Tithing Feels Hard 01:11 Money Episode Setup 01:41 Guilt vs Worship Giving 02:44 Malachi Try Me Promise 05:19 What Counts as a Tithe 07:46 Testimony From 100 to 90 10:51 God Provides Birds Lilies 13:49 Seek First Added Provision 16:02 Anxiety vs Trust With Money 18:59 Deuteronomy Blessings Obedience 22:27 Mind Your Business Obey 24:55 Challenge Try Him This Month 26:30 Prayer and Wrap Up https://beacons.ai/amenandagainpod

    Episode 16: "The Battle Is Not Yours"

    Mind Your Business and Let God Mind His: Jehoshaphat’s Battle Plan of Praise On the Amen & Again podcast, Ashley and Sydney launch a new series, “Mind Your Business and Let God Mind His,” focused on handing back control in battles, money, and reputation. In this episode they discuss King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20, where Judah faces three nations and responds with fear, fasting, prayer, and seeking God. God instructs them to position themselves, stand still, and trust that the battle is God’s, not theirs; Jehoshaphat appoints singers to go before the army, and as they praise, God sets ambushes and the enemies are defeated. They unpack key words—“position yourselves,” “believe” (amen), and “praise” (hallelujah)—and apply the lesson to modern anxieties like finances, encouraging gratitude, remembering testimonies, worship, and obedience. They close with prayer, mention a free devotional and Instagram, and preview next week’s topic on money. 00:00 White Knuckle Control 00:40 Series Kickoff Overview 01:29 Jehoshaphat Under Siege 02:57 Battle Is Gods 04:59 Praise Before Victory 06:09 Position Believe Praise 12:20 Applying It Personally 17:36 Remembering Gods Faithfulness 22:14 Weekly Challenge And Next Topic 23:28 Closing Prayer And Wrap https://beacons.ai/amenandagainpod

    Episode 15: "Ninth Fruit: Self-Control"

    Self-Control as Spirit-Empowered Mastery, Not Shame Ashley and Sydney conclude their “You’re Grafted In” Fruit of the Spirit series by discussing self-control, describing personal struggles with willpower, goal-setting, and shame, including fitness and weight goals. They argue self-control is a fruit of the Holy Spirit—spirit-empowered mastery over desires—not a trophy earned through suppression. Using Galatians 5’s definition, 2 Timothy 1:7 (power, love, and a sound mind), 1 Corinthians 9:25–27 (athletic discipline for an imperishable crown), and Titus 2:11–12 (grace teaching us to live soberly), they emphasize grace rather than fear, rules, or shame as the teacher of change. They refute the belief that people are at the mercy of impulses, connect sound-mindedness with decisive judgment, and frame God’s boundaries as true freedom. They close with prayer, invite listeners to the next series “Mind Your Business and Let God Mind His,” and mention a free seven-day devotional via Instagram. 00:00 Why Self Control Hurts 01:08 Series Finale Setup 01:51 Willpower Versus Spirit 04:03 Defining Self Control 04:52 Sound Mind Explained 09:03 Training For The Crown 11:25 Grace As The Teacher 14:21 Freedom Not Restriction 19:33 Not Ruled By Impulses 22:47 Grace Over Shame Exercise 27:32 Series Wrap And Prayer 30:46 Next Series And Resources https://beacons.ai/amenandagainpod

    Episode 14: "Eighth Fruit: Gentleness"

    Gentleness: Strength Under Control On the Amen & Again podcast, hosts Ashley and Sydney continue their Fruit of the Spirit series “You’re Grafted In” by discussing gentleness as “power under control,” not weakness. They note the New Testament word for gentleness describes Moses and Jesus, reframing it as strength precisely placed. Using Matthew 11:28–30, they highlight Jesus calling himself gentle and offering rest, and connect this to Proverbs 15:1 about a soft answer turning away wrath, emphasizing restraint and pausing rather than proving dominance. They compare gentleness to a trained wild horse directed for the master’s purpose and discuss how gentleness relates to controlling the tongue, leadership, and relinquishing control of outcomes and reputation to God. They close in prayer, encourage listeners to be gentle because Jesus is gentle, and promote their devotional, merch, and the next episode on self-control. 00:00 What Is Gentleness 00:30 Series Intro And Setup 01:04 Gentleness Is Strength 03:11 Jesus Defines Gentle 04:47 Gentle Leadership 08:11 Power Under Control 09:10 Taming The Tongue 10:55 A Gentle Father Example 14:03 When Gentleness Feels Weak 16:33 Yield Control To God 18:34 Closing Prayer 19:51 Final Takeaways And Outro https://beacons.ai/amenandagainpod

    Episode 13: "Seventh Fruit: Faithfulness"

    Faithfulness: Being Found Faithful as Stewards (Fruit of the Spirit Series) Ashley and Sydney welcome listeners to the Amen and Again podcast’s Fruit of the Spirit series “You’re Grafted In,” focusing on faithfulness as something God grows in believers, not just His faithfulness to them. They discuss discouragement when efforts don’t produce expected results and emphasize remaining committed without grading faithfulness by outcomes. They read Lamentations 3:22–23, noting faithfulness as firmness, steadiness, and reliability rooted in God’s character, and define faithfulness in Galatians 5 as trust, reliability, and steady commitment. Using 1 Corinthians 4:2, they explain stewardship of time, finances, gifts, and health, and share a priorities exercise (ping pong balls, marbles, sand) to reorder life with God first, without condemnation. They encourage Scripture intake (Proverbs 3:3–4), compare faithfulness to watering a seed before growth is visible, pray for strength and right priorities, and mention a free seven-day devotional via @amenandagainpod. 00:00 When Faithfulness Hurts 00:52 Welcome and Series Intro 01:32 Faithfulness as Fruit 03:43 Great Is Your Faithfulness 06:13 Stewards Found Faithful 09:00 Serving Without Outcomes 11:46 Stewarding Health and Life 14:34 Priorities Jar Exercise 19:11 No Condemnation Just Growth 23:39 Stay and Water the Seed 25:23 God Sees You Reflection 27:47 Prayer for Faithfulness 29:10 Final Reminders and Outro https://beacons.ai/amenandagainpod

    Episode 12: "Sixth Fruit: Goodness"

    Goodness with a Backbone: You’re Grafted In Ashley and Sydney discuss the Fruit of the Spirit “goodness” on the Amen & Again podcast, starting with the question of doing the right thing while feeling bitter or resentful. They read Psalm 23:6 and explain biblical goodness as outward moral excellence rooted in righteousness, described as “goodness with a backbone” that confronts wrong and stands firm. They contrast the Greek concept of goodness (agathosune) with the Hebrew sense in Psalm 23 (pleasant, beautiful, right—like God calling creation good), emphasizing that God’s goodness and mercy actively “pursue” and “chase” believers. They connect this security to choosing righteousness, reference 3 John 1:11, encourage praying Ephesians 6 armor, and urge listeners to seek scriptures on goodness, subscribe, check a devotional, and watch for new merch, closing with a prayer for God’s goodness to overflow through listeners. 00:00 Doing Good Feeling Bitter 01:01 Welcome and Series Intro 02:19 What Biblical Goodness Means 03:20 Psalm 23 and Goodness Defined 04:28 Greek and Hebrew Goodness 08:17 Goodness Chases You 12:50 Goodness as Spiritual Armor 15:03 Debunking Not Good Enough 16:39 Choosing Goodness Daily 20:41 Experiencing God’s Goodness 21:40 Growth Without Bitterness 24:10 Wrap Up and Prayer 25:39 Final Encouragement and Outro https://beacons.ai/amenandagainpod

    Episode 11: "Fifth Fruit: Kindness"

    Biblical Kindness: Tender-Hearted, Active, and Rooted in God’s Mercy Ashley and Sydney open the Amen and Again podcast’s Fruit of the Spirit series episode on kindness by admitting it’s possible to appear kind outwardly while struggling internally. They contrast surface-level “niceness” and Southern manners with Biblical kindness, using Ephesians 4:32 to emphasize being kind, tender-hearted, and forgiving because God in Christ forgave us. They define kindness as moral goodness expressed in action and explain “tender-hearted” as gut-level compassion that moves before the mind catches up, connecting it to forgiveness and self-kindness. Citing Titus 3:4–5, they note God saved by mercy, not works, and argue staying rooted in God’s Word produces fruit naturally, even in difficult interactions. They encourage practical acts of kindness, a tender posture daily, and close with a prayer for softened hearts and reliance on God as the source. 00:00 Nice Outside Honest Inside 01:13 Kindness Beyond Manners 02:11 Southern Hospitality Bless Your Heart 03:55 Ephesians 4 32 Kindness Song 05:37 What Biblical Kindness Means 07:11 Tenderhearted Gut Compassion 09:43 Gods Kindness Saves Us 12:19 Plant Growth Fruit Manifesting 13:48 Kindness Toward Yourself 16:43 Word In Input Out Fruit 18:02 Kind When Its Hard 21:29 Feeding The Multitude Example 23:25 Weekly Challenge And Identity 25:32 Prayer For Tender Hearts 27:06 Stay Connected Closing Notes https://beacons.ai/amenandagainpod
