“You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins.” — Psalm 85:2

Today, Ash and guest Kate Westwood unpack a deeply personal, beautifully freeing truth: every single sin — past, present, and future — has been fully covered by Jesus. And because of that, we’re invited to live differently.

As Christmas approaches, Ash shares how God has been gently convicting her about generosity, kindness and loving the people Scripture urges us not to overlook. Kate reminds us that while the world tells us to prioritise ourselves, God’s heart has always been for those in need — and for His people to reflect that heart.

Together they explore:

• How God uses conviction not to shame us, but to shape us
• Why generosity is more than giving — it’s obedience and compassion in action
• The subtle ways we drift into self-protection or “someone else will do it”
• Why focusing on the attitude of your heart changes the actions of your hands
• How God throws our sins into a “forgetful sea”… with a sign that says no fishing
• Why the Christian life isn’t about trying not to sin — it’s about walking closely with Jesus
• The freedom of admitting, “I wasn’t enough… and that’s exactly why Jesus came”

If you’ve been wrestling with guilt, feeling far from God, or unsure how to walk out your faith in a practical way, Psalm 85:2 is your reminder: it is finished.
You are forgiven, loved, and invited into a life of generous, wholehearted faith — the kind Jesus showed us first.
