What’s Stopping You? | Matthew 9:37–38 with Kate Willcox
In this episode, Ash and Kate Wilcox unpack Matthew 9:37–38: “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” They dive into the confronting truth that the problem isn’t the harvest — it’s us. The issue isn’t that people don’t want to know Jesus; it’s that many of us who do know Him aren’t willing to do the work. Kate shares honestly about the times she’s felt God stirring her to step out but hesitated, and how obedience often requires humility and discomfort. Ash reflects on how easy it is to get caught up in comfort, routine, and church culture instead of actually living out the mission Jesus gave us. This conversation is a wake-up call and a reminder that God’s not short on opportunities — He’s looking for willing hearts. The harvest is ready. The question is, are we?

You’re Not Alone in the Breaking | Psalm 34:18 with Kate Willcox
In this episode, Ash and Kate Wilcox unpack Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Together, they talk about what it means to experience God’s presence when life feels unbearable, when your heart feels shattered, and when it seems like your prayers are going unheard. Kate shares how this verse became deeply personal during a season of loss, and how she began to sense God’s nearness in quiet, unexpected ways. Ash reflects on the tension between wanting to “get over it” and learning to sit with God in it — trusting that His closeness isn’t dependent on how strong we feel. This episode is a comforting reminder that your brokenness doesn’t disqualify you from God’s presence — it invites it.

An Identity Crisis | Seeing Yourself the Way God Does | Judges 6:12 with Kate Willcox
Gideon was hiding in fear when God called him a “mighty warrior.”Sometimes, the hardest thing to believe is what God says about us — especially when our circumstances say otherwise. In today’s episode, Ash and Kate dive into Judges 6:12 and unpack how our true identity isn’t found in what we do or how we feel, but in who God says we are. Maybe you’ve been calling yourself “not ready,” “not enough,” or “too broken.” But what if God’s already calling you mighty warrior?

Stop Trying to Earn It | Grace Is a Gift | Ephesians 2:8–9 with Kate Willcox
In this episode, Ash and Kate Wilcox dive into Ephesians 2:8–9: “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not from yourselves; it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.” Together, they unpack the freeing truth that our salvation isn’t something we have to earn — it’s a gift. Kate shares how understanding grace changed the way she saw her relationship with God, moving from striving to simply receiving His love. Ash reflects on how easy it is to fall into the trap of performance — trying to “get everything right” before coming to God — when in reality, His invitation is open to us anytime, anywhere. This heartfelt conversation reminds us that Jesus did all the hard work on the cross so we could come to Him exactly as we are. Because of grace, we don’t have to strive for approval — we get to live from it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
