    S3:E31 - When you dismiss the obedience, you miss the miracle

    In this episode of the Armed and Anointed Podcast, Ashley discussed Jesus' first miracle of turning water into wine, exploring the deeper spiritual lessons it contains. Ashley explained that the miracle demonstrates how God wants to provide for needs beyond what appears necessary, emphasizing that faith and obedience are essential components for receiving miracles. She highlighted how Mary's faith and obedience to do whatever Jesus told the servants to do was crucial to the miracle's occurrence. Ashley shared her personal experience of how God asked her to put down a successful network marketing business, which initially made no sense but later led to greater blessings when she restarted in a new way. She emphasized that sometimes God asks for "water" (obedience to difficult steps) before providing the desired "wine" (blessing), and that willingness to make multiple trips to the well without understanding the full timeline is essential for receiving God's blessings.

    S3:E30 - How loyalty can walk you out of God's will

    In this episode, Ashley discussed how loyalty can prevent people from following God's will, sharing her personal experiences with this struggle. She explained that loyalty from a place of fear or wounds can mask disalignment with God's plan, using the example of Abraham leaving his home without knowing where he was going by faith. Ashley described how she had to make difficult decisions, including stepping away from her successful network marketing business despite the guilt and potential repercussions with team members. She emphasized the importance of being loyal to God's calling rather than staying committed to circumstances, environments, or people that no longer align with one's spiritual path. Ashley encouraged listeners to examine what they might be loyal to that keeps them out of God's will and to focus on holding tightly to God's vision while remaining flexible with the plan of how it unfolds.

    S3:E29 - Feeling out of place comes before feeling aligned

    In this episode of the Armed and Anointed Podcast, Ashley Russell discussed her personal experience of feeling out of alignment and out of place as she transitions to a new season in her life. She shared how she had a difficult day when people she used to be close with in her day-to-day life began to distance themselves, creating a sense of loneliness despite having supportive people who understand her current identity. Ashley explained that this feeling of disconnection is natural during life transitions, particularly when moving from one season to another, and emphasized the importance of sitting with these emotions rather than avoiding them. She discussed how God meets people in their pain and encourages them to continue following His path even when it's uncomfortable, highlighting that feeling out of place is often a necessary step before achieving true alignment with God's plan. Ashley also shared insights about the Greek words for spirit and soul, explaining how aligning with God requires renewing one's mind and emotions to be in harmony with the divine.

    S3:E28 - Resistance doesn't mean it's wrong, it means you're moving

    In this episode of the Armed and Anointed Podcast, Ashley discusses the concept that resistance doesn't mean something is wrong, but rather indicates movement toward one's calling. She explored several key points about navigating resistance, including how starting something new always feels unstable, movement can be threatening to both people around us and in the spiritual realm, discomfort is a natural part of following a calling, and resistance feels stronger when we haven't surrendered to God's plan. Ashley emphasized the importance of surrendering to God's guidance rather than trying to control everything ourselves, and discussed how covering our calling through prayer removes unnecessary resistance. She shared personal experiences from her own journey of starting a podcast and business, including periods of uncertainty and loss before experiencing growth.

    S3:E27 - Marked by God with Jay Robinson

    Ashley welcomed Jay Robinson (@1jayyrobinson on Instagram) to the Armed and Anointed podcast, where Jay shared his inspiring journey from a young music producer to finding his purpose in serving God. Jay described how he grew up in a Christian household but struggled with balancing his musical ambitions with his faith, particularly after receiving a promising opportunity from Def Jam at age 16 that his parents discouraged. He detailed a pivotal moment in July 2020 when he experienced a spiritual deliverance during a family intervention that led him to fully surrender his musical career to follow God's calling. The conversation explored themes of spiritual authority, generational faith, and the challenges of stepping away from a built life to follow God's purpose. Jay emphasized that while God's gifts are irrevocable, true fulfillment comes from using them in alignment with one's divine purpose rather than pursuing worldly success independently of God's will.

    S3:E26 - How do you know God's calling you and what to do next

    In this episode of the Armed and Anointed podcast, Ashley discusses how to recognize and respond to God's calling in one's life. She explained that calling isn't always about clear direction but can also manifest as desire, disruption, or dissatisfaction. Ashley emphasized the importance of obedience in following God's call, sharing personal examples of how small acts of obedience led to meaningful experiences. She discussed the cost of answering God's call, which often requires letting go of comfort and familiar circumstances. Ashley stressed that true freedom comes from aligning with God's will rather than seeking approval from the world. The episode concluded with practical steps for those feeling called, including identifying current disruptions or desires, making small changes in daily life, and being willing to let go of relationships or activities that no longer serve one's spiritual growth.

    S3:E25 - Your process becomes your authority

    In this episode, Ashley discusses the concept of "Your Process Becomes Your Authority." She shared her personal experience of going through a refining period and how sharing her process openly on social media helped establish her authority without needing to appear perfect. Ashley emphasized that vulnerability without victim mentality is key, and that people resonate more with authentic processes than with shallow authority. She explained how sharing personal experiences and thought processes can help connect with an audience on a deeper level, using examples from her own journey and from other content creators. Ashley stressed that organic authority comes from lived experience and sharing the messy middle parts of one's journey, rather than trying to present a perfect image.

    S3:E24 - Being God-led entrepreneur with Jason Horecky

    In this episode, Ashley is joined by Jason Horecky (@jasonhorecky on Instagram), discussing their journeys as entrepreneurs and how faith plays a role in their business lives. Jason shared his background running a religious statue business with his mother and his transition into coaching with Nick Komodina's Alchemist Academy. They explored themes of calling, surrender, and how God guides decisions, with Ashley sharing her own experiences about hearing God's voice and the importance of creating space for spiritual connection. The conversation covered Jason's recent content shift toward serving others authentically, rather than just pursuing clients, and how this has resonated with his audience. They discussed the challenges of following one's calling when it contradicts family expectations or cultural business norms, and the importance of taking action while surrendering outcomes to God's plan.
