We’re kicking off 2026 with a deeply honest conversation about faith, pain, and God’s presence in the hard seasons of life.

Ash and Kate dive into Psalm 23, wrestling with the big question: “Is God loving when He allows pain?” They explore the difference between God’s nature (who He is) and His character (how He acts toward us), sharing stories of anxiety, unanswered questions, and walking through dark valleys.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered:


Where is God when life feels heavy?


Can faith and doubt coexist?


How do I trust Him when I don’t understand?

Even when life feels confusing or overwhelming, this conversation reminds us that He is with us, His goodness follows us, and we can trust His plans—even when we don’t see the full picture.
