What if your battle isn't to win... but to wake up to a victory that's already yours?
In Romans 8:37, Paul uses a word that appears nowhere else in Scripture. He doesn't just call us "conquerors." He calls us HYPER-conquerors. Overwhelming victors. But most of us are still white-knuckling our way through life trying to earn what's already ours.
Religion taught us that victory comes through performance. Pray enough, serve enough, declare enough... THEN you'll overcome. But Paul points to something different. He says we are more than conquerors THROUGH HIM who loved us. Not through our striving. Through His love.
You don't become an overcomer by overcoming. You overcome because you already are one.
In this episode, we're unpacking what it actually means to be "more than a conqueror" and why this truth changes everything about how you face hardship, anxiety, and uncertainty.
You're not a soldier fighting to secure the kingdom. You're royalty learning to rule in it.
📖 Scripture referenced: Romans 8:35-39, John 16:33, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Psalm 44
What if the people we disagree with aren’t targets for our accusation, but people we’re called to intercede for?
In the middle of election season, I’ve noticed something. A lot of Christians are connecting God’s mercy, His favor, His blessing to political outcomes.
When “their” candidate wins, it’s evidence of God’s blessing. When they lose? Judgment. But that’s Old Covenant thinking. We’re under a New Covenant.
Everything is based on Jesus’s finished work, not on who’s in office. God’s character doesn’t fluctuate with election results.
In this episode, I’m sharing what landed in my spirit recently: the difference between accusation and intercession, how fear drives both sides of the political spectrum, and what it looks like to engage from your identity in Christ rather than from panic.
This is not a call to political passivity. This is a call to political engagement on a whole new level.

When Jesus said “I came that you may have life abundantly,” He wasn’t talking about someday. He meant right now. The Greek word is Zoe - God’s own life.
What if the gospel is better than we’ve been taught?
In this episode:
→ What it actually means that Christ’s life is now YOUR life
→ How to stop exhausting yourself trying to earn what you already have
→ The difference between living FROM union vs. trying to GET to union
→ Four practical ways to break out of performance-based Christianity Romans 6:4 - “Just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
John 14:20 - “In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.” You’re not trying to get close to God. You’re already one with Him.
I’m back! In this episode, I’m sharing some key learnings from “accidental sabbatical.”

In this episode, Ashley shares her testimony of overcoming severe anxiety and depression. A journey that included help from doctors and medication.
There’s a lot of debate and questions circulating the internet about whether or not Christians should use tools like medication and therapy. BUT I have never heard what Ashley shares in this episode.
I believe the way she humbly and gently clarifies what her process looked like is going to set you free.
I know that this is a very divisive topic because people carry a lot of pain on both sides of the debate. Maybe you’ve been hurt, misinformed, or made to feel inferior by one group or another because of whatever decision you made.
Shame, condemnation, and inferiority are not your inheritance in Christ. You do not have to live with any of that any longer.
My prayer is this episode reminds you of your power and position in Christ.

We’re beginning this season with worship.
I’ve commissioned Paul Timothy Michell, an anointed worship leader and composer, to write a soaking soundtrack for being with our Prince of Peace.
This first score was inspired by Posture’s foundational scripture Isaiah 26:3:
You will keep in perfect peace, those whose minds are stayed on You, because they trust in You.
I invite you to use this 90 minute instrumental track for...

In this episode I share a familiar story from John 5 that I am seeing through fresh eyes.
When it comes to the promises of God, I want them all instantly. But God wants them for us permanently. So in His kindness He made us one with Jesus.
There is a permanence to our newness because we are now permanently ********one with Christ. And so all of life here on earth is about discovering and experiencing who we actually are in Him. And it goes beyond just a one-time result or outcome — it’s a continuous overcoming in every arena of life.

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed IN us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be REVEALED.” [Romans 8:18-29]
God’s dream for humanity is unfolding IN His sons and daughters — that’s you and me!
We are NEW creations.
We are ONE with Jesus Christ.
We are being TRANSFORMED into God’s image with EVER-INCREASING glory.
Don’t forget who you are. BELIEVE who you are.
It’s time to reveal the eternal to the temporary.

We were not called to live a Christian life, we were given a life to live IN Christ.
This is not a life with a Christian badge on it (that’s religion). It’s SO much better!
This is not a life we can earn by loving God more, it’s a life He freely gave us because of His love for us.
It’s time we rest in God’s affection for us and live the life Jesus died for us to have.

Our permanent place is in Jesus, even in low places. When I became aware of this truth and chose to walk in it, I experienced so much life and peace!
You deal with suffering differently when you realize you are not subject to it.

What’s true about Jesus is true about you.
We are living in a victory He won so we can’t lose.
Absence of trouble is not proof of this victory, His permanent presence in us in every trouble is the proof.
Instead of letting your circumstances challenge your identity in Christ, let your identity challenge your circumstances.
