Living in Awe of God | Proverbs 9:10 with Toby Couchman
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” – Proverbs 9:10 Today, Ash is joined by her husband Toby as they unpack what it really means to fear God. Toby shares how he used to think it meant being scared of God, but he’s realised it’s actually about having awe and deep respect for Him. They talk about how having reverence for God shapes the way we make decisions, helps us become more teachable, and guides us to seek His wisdom rather than relying only on our own strength. Ash and Toby also reflect on their first year of marriage and how learning to slow down, listen, and seek God’s wisdom has helped them grow. If you’re someone who struggles to let go of control or wants to better understand what it means to fear God in a life-giving way, this conversation will be both practical and encouraging.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Don’t Waste Your Life Holding Grudges | Romans 12:17-18 with Jacquie Scott
Jesus came to serve, not to be served – and part of living like Him is letting go of grudges that weigh us down. In today’s episode, Jacquie and Ash unpack how easy it is to get stuck in our sense of justice, feeling justified in holding onto hurt or disappointment because “they treated me poorly.” But as Jacquie shares, that’s not what we want to look back on our lives and see – wasted time spent holding onto things that ultimately don’t matter. They talk about the internal wrestle of choosing peace, how life gets messier as we get older, and why living peaceably doesn’t mean bending over backwards or being a people-pleaser. Instead, it’s about taking responsibility for your heart, letting go of what you can’t control, and doing what is noble for all – even if you wish someone else would take the higher ground. If you’re tired of carrying the heaviness of strained relationships or letting unforgiveness steal your peace, this honest and challenging conversation will encourage you to release it to God and keep your eyes on what really matters.

Yet not my will, but yours be done.” They dive into the tension between believing in God’s power to change anything and learning to trust His will above our own. You’ll hear their honest reflections about reverent submission, why knowing God’s character makes trusting Him easier, and how Jesus models the ultimate surrender even when His circumstances didn’t shift.

When You Can’t See the Good | God’s Faithfulness in Hard Seasons | Lamentations 3:22-23 with Jacquie Scott
Have you ever looked back on your life and thought, “I wish I could tell my younger self that God was faithful, even when it didn’t feel like it?” In today’s episode, Ash is joined by Jacquie Scott as they unpack Lamentations 3:22-23: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Together, they reflect on the reality that God’s faithfulness doesn’t always look how we expect it to – but His love never fails. Jacquie shares powerful insights about learning to trust God’s mercy and strength each new day, especially when life feels confusing, heavy, or far from what you imagined. If you’re in a season where you can’t quite see His faithfulness, this episode will remind you that He is still with you, His mercies are fresh each morning, and choosing Jesus is always worth it. ✨TICKETS FOR EVERYDAY JOY LIVE AVAILABLE HERE Get Connected:Follow us on InstagramJoin the Facebook CommunityGot something to share?
