Everyday Joy

Happy Friday, friends! This week’s episode is all about asking the hard questions: Are we protecting our comfort, our reputation, or our control—and is that keeping us from finishing what God has called us to do?
Ash and Jackie dive into Acts 20:24, exploring what it means to “consider life worth nothing” compared to completing the task God has given us: testifying to His grace. 💛 From everyday choices to bold acts of obedience, we chat about how our lives can quietly, powerfully reflect God’s love—and why even small acts of faithfulness matter.
Get ready to be challenged, encouraged, and inspired to live boldly for Jesus, even when it’s uncomfortable or inconvenient. Your life can be a testimony of God’s grace—are you ready to spend it well?

Discipline. It’s not glamorous, it’s not fun, and let’s be honest… most of us avoid it when we can. But today on the podcast, Jackie and I dive into what Hebrews 12:11 really means: “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful later on. However, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”
We chat about how discipline isn’t just about doing the hard thing—it’s also about letting God, the Holy Spirit, and even the people around us guide us when we don’t see our own blind spots. From navigating a no-spend February, to building habits that feel boring or repetitive, we unpack why these small, sometimes uncomfortable choices actually produce lasting peace and a deeper relationship with Jesus.
If you’re trying to live faithfully day by day, manage life’s mess, or just want a little encouragement to keep going even when it’s hard, this episode is for you. Let’s talk discipline, faithfulness, and the slow, steady way God shapes us into His image.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” — 2 Timothy 4:7
Today we’re talking about staying in the race — even when it feels messy, slow, or harder than you expected.
In this episode, Jacquie and I unpack what it really means to fight the good fight. Not perfectly. Not impressively. But faithfully. We talk about anxiety, about wanting to give up, about feeling like other people are ahead of you — and why none of that disqualifies you from finishing well.
Paul didn’t say he won. He said he finished.
And sometimes that’s what faith looks like — getting up, giving your day to God, walking through the valley with Him, and choosing not to quit.
If you’re in a season where you’re wrestling, tired, or wondering if it’s worth it… this conversation is for you.
Stay in the race. God is with you.

“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” — Habakkuk 2:14
In a world that often feels uncertain, divided, and heavy, this verse gives us a bigger picture. God’s glory will fill the earth. Not might. Not fear. Not chaos. His glory.
In this episode, we unpack what that promise really means for us today. How do we live when we don’t yet see that fullness? How do we carry hope when culture feels loud and overwhelming? And what does it look like to reflect God’s glory in our everyday conversations, choices, and relationships?
This is a conversation about vision, confidence, and faith — choosing to live now in light of what God has already promised.

“This is love: that we walk in obedience to His commands” – 1 John 1:6
In today’s episode of the Everyday Joy Podcast, Jacquie joins Ash to unpack what love really looks like in action — beyond feelings and expectations. From parenting moments that test our patience to internal struggles with judgment and control, this conversation reminds us that obedience to God is the truest expression of love.
Jacquie shares a powerful story about her child stepping back from youth group, and how listening to God’s guidance instead of forcing control transformed their relationship. Together, they explore how love shows up in the everyday choices we make, the small moments of grace, and how walking in the light means letting go, trusting God, and living His commands — even when it’s hard.
Tune in to discover practical ways to let your love have legs, walk in obedience, and reflect Christ in every interaction.
