Ashley

My random confessions and inner work throughs of my faith and life.

What is Holy week?

My thoughts on church movements, discipleship, and women teachers. Yeah I went there.

When did rest become laziness

I said yes again

Let’s be real. Resolutions are great and all but do they stick.

You may be here too

No really?

We all are

Seems like I’ve been here a while

You’ll get it

A random thought

I know I’m not alone here.

Thoughts provoked by A.W. Tozer.

Just me?? Or do you feel it too?

It sure isn’t easy. Hopefully this will encourage you.

Two biggies for me.

Just a thought and personal opinion.

The reality shock of how “Christian’s” can treat each other.

Why it’s ok

My thoughts on this and where I am now.

I can’t be the only one.

Just a thought

They’re tricky

Like it or not… they are real.

Never ceases to amaze me what He shows you in time.

Oh yeah it’s a doozy.

So good.

Yep I went there.

We’re all in the trenches.

Things I never caught until now.

This is what happens when I dig.

What’s the takeaway?

Are you? A quick look at what God says.

And what I’m not

We’re all somewhere.

Yeah I said it

I’m not going to lie.

Yup I know it.

So I can do what I want! Ummm… No.

Even Paul had haters and encountered counterfeit Christian’s. Are we one of them?

What’s important to know is we still struggle just like the apostles did.

How you answer this question… Well it’ll tell you all you need to know about where you stand with God. At least that’s my thought.

How even I am a brat

Prepping for kids church and learning myself

If your faith is with its weight…

Yep I am too. How being so busy can be a bad thing.

Yeah

Book of John

Pretty sure the enemy makes me my own enemy.

Feelings are complicated

Luke 8

Good and heavy.

So many things I didn’t even dig into here too.

Just taking a moment to put some different shoes on.

And the book of lamentation.

Yup I said it

The power it holds and what God says about it.

How stories stick with us.

With a couple of special guests. This applies to so much.

Just a thought from reading Jeremiah

Oh it’s coming.

How I feel and where I find comfort.

Just a little reminder.

Strange thought

Nothing much

Happy to be back

You’ll see

Oh so good

Overwhelmed

How I’ve been chastised.

So sorry for my mess but it is what it is.

So very good.

Oh man it’s been a minute.

Oh man the things we learn

Any clue what it means to prayerfully petition?

You’re not alone.

We all struggle with it. Especially now. But what does God say?

Oh man. Lady wisdom. And Solomon.

And we conclude the book of Job.

How good Gods word is.

I may be that friend.

How much I love this book.

That’s all folks

And the plot thickens.

And it gets even messier.

The tings we forget.

Surprisingly things get worse.

That’s it! How does the saga of Saul and David end? It isn’t pretty.

Further proof of God’s goodness and how messed up we are.

How messed up we all are. David included.

Ohhhh man. The plot thickens.

Oh King Saul. Why obedience is important.

Movin right along

Back at it finally!

A book you can knock out in one sitting.

Chonda Pierce is the name.

Long time no podcast. Curious why?

Yup hills and valleys are real. And so is the enemy.

The things you learn if you listen

The sting when it comes fro God.

Yeah I am

My questions and ponderings (yeah I know it’s not really a word)

Why I want to KNOW the word.

And they’re good!

Here there and everywhere. It’s one of those days.

Just amazed

Who knew... I sure didn’t.

May upset you a little but if so. Agree to disagree. And I still love you

Oh so good

When praying gets hard for me.

And Psalm 104. Which is just so beautiful.

Finally found it in the Bible. And surprise, surprise the words ring true even today.

...if Jesus ever woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

The wisdom that is found.

Stick it out with me

It’s been crazy while I was gone.

All up in my feelings today.

May need more coffee

Running behind today

Yup again

Oh it’s a day

It’s a day

And I get it you probably won’t agree. But that’s ok.

How badly I needed these after Judges.

Warning: it’s one of the hardest passages I’ve ever read. And yes I cried. Not for young ears unless you want to have another difficult conversation.

Just nutters. For real. And you can look it up. It’s all there.

Lemme tell you it’s a doozy

Have you heard of Jephthah and his enormous stupidity?

Oh no he didn’t. But yeah he did.

Whhhhaaaattt?? I’m confused.

Oh yeah. A whole book in just one podcast. Who knew it was possible!

So glad to get to the end.

You may agree with me.

Oh man does it have some hard stuff.

Question about a biblical inconsistency that just makes me believe it more. Luke really didn’t like Judas.

Just a quick bit.

But do you know what happened?

What does it mean??

Not much to say.

Yep New Testament again

Short and sweet

Stephen. We all need more Stephen.

Deuteronomy and another day

Let me know if you get an interpretation cause dang. I’m lost in this.

Some days are just hard.

...it’s a day...

Just some time spent with the creator of all this.

The fun little morsels added into Moses’s recount.

So thankful that we’re moving on.

Thankful for a new day.

It’s cold and I don’t care

Just little ol me

And I learn something new!!

Finally we know what’s up with the 40 years

Oh yeah I’m guilty too. Too easy to forget how good it can be.

A reminder of how blessed we are.

Yes!! Leviticus has officially come to an end. What the last few chapters taught me.

How many times does he have to tell them?

Leviticus keeps on keepin on.

You gotta read it fir yourself.

Yup still in Leviticus.

Why I’m glad to be

Oh how fun laws are

A long time coming but still important.

Finally there. How’d we get them and what happened right after.

Don’t judge the Israelites to harshly. We are just as guilty of grumbling too.

Exodus continues

Super short today but worth it I hope.

Boy did I learn something new! Hope you do too.

Oh man. How God put up with Moses... well He’s better than me for sure. And for that I’m thankful.

The last of Genesis

There are no words for his mess today.

His story continues!

We’re finally at JOSEPH. Which is my favorite story of the whole bible. The twists, turns, deceit, betrayal and finally reconciliation. Oh so good!

Did you know?? Oh so many things I find and am thrilled to!

Where did tithing come from? And why do I do it?

My walk through Genesis is now half way through. Hope it’s as eye opening for you as it has been for me.

My continued reading in Genesis and what’s standing out to me now.

How good our God is. And how he’s so willing to speak if you stop to listen.

How Old Testament foreshadowed new in a really clear way.

Short and sweet.

How hard it is to be patient and simply wait

I feel heavy today. For so many reasons. And I’m thankful for THE God who knows and understands.

... short and to the point... we need God’s help. Badly.

Finally getting my perspective back!!

Yep that’s what I think. Listen for more of why.

Very short. Very... well heavy.

A little bit better

Short and sweet.

But it’ll be ok

The husband and I explore How We struggle with them and what we’re told to do.

And why I have no doubts pre 2016 me would be in Hell.

Why we need help and Jesus is the only one who can give it.

Habits... pretty sure they matter. Like a LOT.

Just the beginning of why the more I read the less I believe the “once saved always saved” theology.

Yup it is what it is

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it 82+ times. Get in the word. And here’s why...

1 John- oh how I needed this word. We are not perfect. Not supposed to be. But we are not to be habitual sinners either.

Super short but at least it’s here. Power of obedience.

Super short. Super scattered. Is what it is.

A not so wonderful morning that is all on me.

How his word does answer you and it’ll often confuse and confirm things for you too.

Random morning

My husband joins me for a very random conversation about our faith and how that’s looked over the years.

My apple picking of the Bible with thankfulness that I have it to even pick through.

Just being reminded of exactly what my God has done for me. Man. So thankful.

Y’all we need help

A nice and short book of reminders.

My random morning rambling

In this episode I’m joined by my dear friend Jamie to discuss life and our amazing God.

My amazing encounter with the Lord as he met me right in his word. Book of Galatians. Like all of it.

Welcome to my pitiful pit

If I could remember I’d tell you

My rather short prayer for the day

What Paul had to say to the Romans and Corinthians that we love to twist in today’s society. Heck even in the church.

A continuation of the book of Romans and my random dream that makes me uncomfortable to think about.

Warning, interruptions will occur but it’s life. Why I love being a Gentile.

Random but you get it

Back on the porch praying some serious prayers for our church and nation.

My fears for our country. And what I found in Ephesians that seems so fitting for the time I’m currently in.

Me doin’ me. While freezing.

A continuation on the book of Acts.

A highlight of the things I find entertaining and informative in Acts.

I’ve got questions.

How the son of God reacted to one hot mess woman.

Just a few of my issues with the world as it stands and what I pray we do about it.

Man I’m thankful. Listen to find out why.

My ramblings that bounced all over. Hopefully you learn that being wrong is a part of life and it’s how you handle it that matters.

Anyone else not want to? Yeah me either. But here’s me doing it anyway.

Title says it all. But listen to find out why.

How hard was it for Jesus to go to the cross? How many of his friends were with him in the end? All this and a little American history.

My realization of my own issues and how God can help.

I’m bouncing all over but feel his presence so I’m going with it. Call to action for the church. Praise for its growth and prayer for our world.

A look into proverbs. Why is it that we all see these 7 things so regularly??? Even in ourselves if we’re honest.

And so do you. But here’s my problem and prayer.

When you wake up feeling so much weight. What’s a girl to do?

Why I think I would have argued too and how the enemy lies.

Not gonna lie. Without him I’m a flaming trash bin. And with him I’m a hot mess. But I can’t do this life any other way. Listen to learn why.

Why I love Jesus and how crazy his friends had to think he was.

Apparently I now know why it’s so hard for me to say thank you.

My internet dive and what The Bible says God has to say about it.

A few parables to put life in perspective.

And me having my own personal discoveries as to who God is.

What the heck does it mean??

A reminder about the Samaritan.

Me digging into one of the hot button issues of our day. Why? Heck if I know.

My much shorter rationale as to why it’s gonna be ok.

Hang on cause it’s a longer one but I took a deep dive into my own election worries.

Prayer for us all with some input from Luke.

I begin the book of Luke again for a refresher! Highlighting some of my favorite points.

How we ALL fall short. Mainly me.

Just a beautiful morning and a lesson from Furtick on faith.

Just another reason I’m thankful. What the fruits of the spirit are and how you get them.

My personal reflection on who gets credit for everything.

My personal opinion on why it’s ok if we are not all buddy buddy.

Why your story, and mine, is important. And what I believe.

My thoughts on religion. And the value of relationship.

How wonderful it is to have the ability to look back. Why I journal and what I journal.

What happens when I listen to God and shut my mouth.

Ummm yeah

Ohhhh now I get it. Ezra!

Random thoughts on life and one of the biggest why’s.

The power of prayer and Gods love

The world and our enemy

A blah day

We all have days. This is one of mine.

A reminder about where our freedom comes from

Ever felt defeated. Yup me too.

The story of Paul and how it relates to me.

Job. A cautionary tale? Or a love letter?

Real life. Real thoughts.

From the garden to the world. Why I think free will matters and why I believe we have it.

One of the moments I have spotted God in an unlikely place. A PSA about social media and personal judgement.

The story of Joseph and how it helped me with my own anger

My rationale on how knowing Peter makes me feel better.

My early morning ramblings about being thankful and the realities we are all facing today.

We don’t always agree but we do have the ability to talk about God. We discuss hot button issues of our society and our own personal viewpoints about them.

Quick 5 minutes to explain myself
