  1. What Does the Bible Say About Anger? (More Than You Think)

    What Does the Bible Say About Anger? (More Than You Think)

    Click to Comment! You can go your whole life never once raising a hand against another person — and Jesus says you might still be standing closer to trouble than you think. In this episode, we're digging into Matthew 5:21-26, where Jesus moves past "don't murder" and gets straight to the heart of it: contempt, anger we keep on simmer, and the surprisingly practical thing He tells us to do about it. This one gets honest, a little uncomfortable, and ends with something you can actually act on this week. Grab the free companion printable at SimplyBlessedDesignz.com. Support the show

    S3E25: When Obedience Goes Deeper Than Behavior — Jesus Raises the Standard

    Click to Comment! Jesus didn't come to lower the bar — He moved it. In this episode, we're digging into Matthew 5:17-20, where Jesus tells a crowd full of people (including the most rule-following religious experts of the day) that following the rules was never the whole point. We'll talk about who the Pharisees really were, why Jesus says your righteousness has to exceed theirs, and what "far greater righteousness" actually means for your everyday life — heart over behavior, not more rules. This episode is part of our Living the Kingdom Way series, walking verse by verse through the Sermon on the Mount.

    What Does It Mean to Be Persecuted Today | S3E24 Unscripted Conversations

    Click to Comment! Have you ever been in a room where you knew something was wrong but stayed quiet because you were scared of what people would think? That feeling right there — that is exactly what we are talking about today. We are hitting the 8th Beatitude in Matthew 5:10 and then flowing right into salt and light in Matthew 5:13-16. Because here is what I need you to understand — persecution is not just the big dramatic stuff. It is the friend who stops texting you. The family dinner that gets weird. The group chat you suddenly get left out of. All because you chose to do the right thing. And when you are brave enough to speak up anyway? That is when you become the salt and the light this world is so desperately hungry for. This one is going to hit you right in the chest.

  4. Strength That Looks Like Mercy: Why Gentleness Isn't Weakness | S3E23

    Strength That Looks Like Mercy: Why Gentleness Isn't Weakness | S3E23

    Click to Comment! Y'all. Look around at the world right now. The division. The anger. The way people talk to and about each other. And then look at what Jesus said in Matthew 5 — blessed are the merciful. Blessed are the pure in heart. Blessed are the peacemakers. Those three things go against absolutely everything the world is telling us to do right now. And I cannot think of three things we need more desperately. In Episode 23 of Unscripted Conversations we talk about what mercy actually is — and what it is not. Why purity of heart has nothing to do with being perfect and everything to do with what is actually driving you on the inside. And the difference between a peacekeeper and a peacemaker — because y'all those are NOT the same thing at all. My husband Sam is a Sheriff Deputy and this one got really personal. Come hang out. 🎙️ 📖 Matthew 5:7–9 (The Message + NLT)  🔗 SimplyBlessedDesignz.com  ☕ ko-fi.com/simplyblesseddesignz Support the show

  5. Blessed Doesn't Look Like You Think It Does: Rethinking Success, Strength, and God's Favor | S3E22

    Blessed Doesn't Look Like You Think It Does: Rethinking Success, Strength, and God's Favor | S3E22

    Click to Comment! Okay so let me ask you something. When is the last time life knocked you completely flat and you actually felt blessed in the middle of it? Yeah. That's what I thought. We all know the Beatitudes. We grew up hearing them. Most of us could recite them without even thinking about it. But knowing the words and actually living them out on a regular Tuesday when everything is happening all around you — those are two completely different things. In Episode 22 we are slowing way down and going through the first four beatitudes one at a time. Poor in spirit. Mourning. Meekness. And hungering and thirsting for righteousness. And we are asking the question most of us have never actually asked out loud — okay but what does this look like in MY real life? This one got personal for me. Like really personal. And I think it is going to get personal for you too. Come hang out.  Matthew 5:3–6 (The Message + NLT)  ko-fi.com/simplyblesseddesignz Support the show

  6. The Upside-Down Kingdom: What Jesus Really Meant by Blessed — Unscripted Conversations S3E21

    The Upside-Down Kingdom: What Jesus Really Meant by Blessed — Unscripted Conversations S3E21

    Click to Comment! We've all seen it — the new house, the promotion, the vacation photo with "blessed" in the caption. And honestly? We've all posted it too. But what happens when you open Matthew 5 and the first thing Jesus says is blessed are those who mourn? Blessed are the ones at the end of their rope? Blessed are the persecuted? That is not the social media version of blessed. And yet that is exactly what Jesus said. In this episode we're kicking off the Sermon on the Mount series — Living the Kingdom Way — and we're starting right at the beginning. Matthew 5:1–12. The Beatitudes. And we're getting really honest about how much of the world's definition of blessed has snuck into our faith without us even realizing it. We're talking about: • Why Jesus' definition of blessed looks nothing like what our culture celebrates • What makarios (mah-KAH-ree-oss) actually means — and why it changes everything • The world's version of the Beatitudes vs. Jesus' version, side by side • Why the things you've been embarrassed about might actually be your greatest qualification • What it looks like to stop performing and actually come to God as you are This one is going to mess with you in the best possible way.  Scripture: Matthew 5:1–12 (MSG + NLT)  Find me at SimplyBlessedDesignz.com Support the show

    Living Your Faith: Carrying What God Is Teaching You Forward

    Click to Comment! Is there something God has been showing you that you haven't done anything with yet? You felt the nudge. You wrote it down. You said yes Lord, I hear You — and then just kept living the same way you were before. In this episode, Ashley digs into the gap between knowing and doing — and why James 1:22 hits a lot harder when you know the full story behind who wrote it. We also talk about why your current season is not a waiting room, what Ruth and Joseph can teach us about faithfulness in the hard and ordinary places, and why one imperfect step forward is worth more than a hundred things you're planning to do someday. Next week we kick off our deep dive into the Sermon on the Mount — starting with the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. You don't want to miss it! Scriptures referenced: James 1:22, John 7:5, 1 Corinthians 15:7, Proverbs 3:5-6  Find show notes and the blog post at SimplyBlessedDesignz.com Support the show

    Walking Steady in Faith: Not Perfect, Just Moving

    Click to Comment! Have you ever gone to Pinterest for one quick idea and come out the other side with a full raised bed garden plan, seven saved recipes, and absolutely no answer to the question you started with? Friend, same. In this episode of Unscripted Conversations, we're talking about what it really looks like to walk steady in faith — not perfectly, not with every detail figured out, and definitely not waiting until the timing feels just right. Just steady. We're digging into the slow-motion trap that keeps so many of us stuck in perpetual planning mode, why the cost of waiting is way higher than we think, and what Scripture actually shows us about moving before you feel ready. (Spoiler: Noah, Joshua, and Peter were all nervous too.) Plus I'm sharing the story of my tiny little workshop that almost never happened — and why I'm so glad I showed up anyway with my half-done handouts and a prayer. If you've been waiting for a sign that it's time to take the next step — this is it. What we talk about in this episode: The Pinterest rabbit hole and what it's really costing youWhy perpetual planning is just fear in a productive outfitWhat Noah, Joshua, and Peter teach us about moving before we're readyThe workshop that almost didn't happen — and why it matteredHow to start embarrassingly small and why that's actually enoughFind the full blog post + show notes at SimplyBlessedDesignz.com   Join the email list for the good stuff — link on the website!
