    "Why is Forgiveness Better for You than the Other Person?"

    “Why is Forgiveness Better for You than the Other Person?” NEW EPISODE — Why is Forgiveness Better for YOU than the Other Person? Let’s be real — forgiveness isn’t easy. It’s messy. It’s layered. And sometimes… it feels impossible. In this raw and honest convo, we unpack the real reason forgiveness is actually better for YOU — not just the other person. We talk about the tension of process + freedom, why forgiveness isn’t a feeling, and how boundaries and healing can go hand-in-hand. You don’t have to forget. You don’t have to ignore what happened. But there is a better way — and it’s full of freedom. We dive into: -What forgiveness really is (and what it’s NOT) -How to set boundaries without bitterness -Why you don’t need to “feel” it to start -What it means to forgive yourself -How looking at Jesus’ sacrifice changes everything If you’ve been hurt by church, people, or even yourself… this one’s for you. Let God meet you where you are. Let us know in the comments — What’s been the hardest part of forgiveness for you? -Subscribe for more raw convos about Jesus, healing, and being rooted in love! #forgiveness #rootedpodcast #genzfaith #jesusheals #churchhurt #christianpodcast

    Striving vs. Surrender: What's the Will of God for my Life?!

    So many of us are carrying the weight of needing to "get it right." The right path. The right calling. The right decision. But what if the will of God isn’t a tightrope? What if it’s a wide-open field with a good Shepherd leading the way? In this raw conversation, we talk about the difference between striving and surrender. We share real stories of heartbreak, redirection, and peace that only came when we let go. We talk about what it means to follow the Holy Spirit as the umpire of peace, and how God’s will becomes visible when we live in love. If you’re in a season of waiting, wrestling, or wondering what’s next—this is for you. Listen in for: • How to follow peace, not pressure • Hearing God without fear of missing it • Releasing perfection and trusting His timing • How community, worship, and prayer help us discern together • Why love—not performance—is what reveals Jesus Rooted Collective is a discipleship community built on worship, presence, and transformation. We gather weekly in East Tennessee and online—come sit with us. 👉 Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@wearerootedcollective⁩  (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCgioeIVdyEfkXQPv5seem4Q)  Listen to the Podcast:  On Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4ldu2y5 On Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4hWr5iq On Amazon: https://shorturl.at/CarCA Listen to Returning:  On Spotify: https://shorturl.at/OewuB On Apple Music: https://shorturl.at/JdiBW On Amazon Music: https://shorturl.at/lDoAZ Find Returning/ Rooted Collective Merch: https://shorturl.at/FEHxJ Join our Email Fam! https://wearerootedcollective.com/contact Support Rooted Collective: https://wearerootedcollective.com/give Follow us on socials!  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wearerootedcollective/ Youtube: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573585613558 Want to get involved with our discipleship school?

    Overcoming Rejection

    Rooted Collective Podcast | Episode: Overcoming Rejection “You are special — and you are safe to be loved.” Rejection hits deep — whether it came from bullying, abandonment, unmet expectations, or even subtle wounds from family. In this raw episode, we talk through how rejection shapes our responses: pushing people away, self-sabotaging, getting too close, or assuming the worst in others. What if vulnerability isn’t a weakness, but the pathway to healing? We talk about: -The symptoms of a rejection-wounded heart -The fear of being loved deeply -How to carry trust instead of constant skepticism -What it means to be accepted by the Father -And how Jesus bore rejection on the cross so we could belong fully, forever. This is for the ones who’ve felt like too much or not enough. The ones who long to be seen, held, and still struggle to believe they’re safe to be loved. You are not alone. ⸻ 🔔 Subscribe for more rooted, real conversations about healing, identity, and Jesus. -Also available on YouTube! @wearerootedcollective Let us know in the comments: what part of rejection has been hardest for you to overcome?

    Breaking Performance

    Rooted Collective: Walking Deeply with Jesus Podcast | Episode: Breaking Performance “You don’t have to earn love — you already have it.” In this episode, we’re breaking down the heavy cycle of performance — that pressure to prove yourself to be accepted, to do more in order to feel worthy. Whether it’s through religion, identity, or striving for perfection, so many of us are stuck trying to reach a bar we were never meant to climb. But what if God’s love isn’t something to perform for? We unpack: -What performance really is — and how it sneaks into faith -The trap of doing things “for” God instead of being with Him -How our identity can get tangled in titles, roles, or image -The stories of Matthew 19 and Zacchaeus — and how Jesus disrupted performance culture -The truth that breaks the lie: you’re already chosen, already known. You were never meant to earn what Jesus freely gave. Want to go deeper? We include specific Scriptures to help you break free from striving and rest in the truth of who you are. 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes rooted in healing, identity, and walking deeply with Jesus, and if you liked this episode, be sure to rate it so we can minister the Gospel more:) Be a part of our family and learn more at wearerootedcollective.com!

    How to Have a Healed Heart

    In this episode, Ashley from Rooted Collective opens up about what it truly means to have a whole, healed heart—and how Jesus gently walks with us through the process. Through raw, personal stories (including one powerful moment singing Rihanna during worship ) and tender insights into grief, trauma, and surrender, Ashley shares how heart healing isn’t just a spiritual buzzword—it’s the deep work of letting go of lies, shame, and fear, and learning to live fully loved. We talk about: • Listening to the Holy Spirit when it doesn't make sense • How grief and healing can happen in unexpected moments • Why receiving Jesus’ love is sometimes harder than giving Him your life • The power of surrender and giving Jesus your yes • Letting go of control and inviting Him into the deepest places • How trauma and autopilot thinking affect our heart • Why living fully alive means feeling the full range of emotion Whether you're feeling stuck, numb, or just know there’s more freedom available—this episode is a safe, encouraging space to explore what healing with Jesus really looks like.
