A HEART-TO-HEART | WHAT IS GOD DOING?! Trusting God Through Change, Surrender & the Unknown

Is God still good… even when life is hard?

In this episode, Ash and Tobi unpack Psalm 23:6 and wrestle with one of the biggest questions people face in their faith: If God is good, why does life hurt?

From personal pain to church hurt, disappointment, and seasons that don’t make sense—this conversation gets honest about what can cause people to walk away from God… and what keeps us anchored in Him.

You’ll be reminded that God’s goodness isn’t based on your circumstances—it’s a personal conviction. And even in the darkest seasons, His love isn’t distant… it’s actually pursuing you.

If you’ve ever struggled to believe that God is good, or felt like walking away from church or faith altogether, this episode will gently invite you back to the truth:
He hasn’t left you. He’s still chasing you.

The Lie That Makes People Walk Away from God | Psalm 23:6 with Toby Couchman

This podcast is listener supported! Give here: https://donate.thelight.com.au/

There are so many voices telling you what to think, what to believe, and how to live… but how do you actually know what’s true?

In this episode, Ash and Tobi unpack 1 John 4:4 and talk about the power of spiritual discernment—learning to recognize truth in a world full of noise. From podcasts and social media to opinions from people around us, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and confused.

But here’s the truth: you’re not left to figure it out on your own.

The Holy Spirit is in you, guiding you, helping you discern what is from God and what isn’t. And because of that, you’ve already overcome—not by your own strength, but by His.

This episode will challenge you to stop running to every voice for answers and start going to God first—because the One in you is greater than anything you’re facing.

You Don’t Need More Opinions… You Need This | 1 John 4:4 with Toby Couchman 

What does it really mean to trust God?

In this episode, Ash and Tobi unpack Proverbs 3:5–6 and get honest about something many of us struggle with—saying we trust God, but still trying to control everything ourselves.

From navigating unknown seasons to letting go of timelines, expectations, and “what we thought life would look like,” this conversation dives into the tension between trust and control. You’ll be reminded that trusting God isn’t about getting what you want—it’s about believing that He knows what’s good, even when you don’t see it yet.

If you’re in a waiting season, feeling uncertain about the future, or wrestling with anxiety, this episode will encourage you to lean on God, not your own understanding, and trust that He is already making a way.
