Feeling anxious? You’re not alone. In this episode of the Everyday Joy Podcast, Ash and Lydia unpack Psalm 94:19: “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” They explore how anxiety shows up in our lives—both in the chaos of the world and within our own hearts—and how God’s presence can be a source of steady comfort, even when solutions don’t come right away.

Ash and Lydia share personal stories of wrestling with fear, the temptation to fix things on our own, and the discipline it takes to let God console us. This episode is a gentle reminder that being honest about our anxiety and leaning into God’s consolation can bring real, lasting joy, no matter the circumstances.

I WANT TO FIX IT! | Learning to Let God Carry Worry | Psalm 94:19 with Lydia 

This month, we’re kicking off our new monthly deep-dive episodes, giving ourselves a little extra time to reflect, chat, and dig into what really matters. I’m joined by my beautiful bestie, Mihaela, as we explore what it looks like to live a life fully centered on Jesus—not just in the big moments, but in the everyday chaos.

From running businesses, loving people, and managing busy seasons, we unpack how to keep Christ at the center of it all. Together, we reflect on the highs and lows, the blessings and the challenges, and how God’s presence transforms the way we move, make decisions, and engage with the world around us.

This episode isn’t about perfection—it’s about practical, real-life ways to let Jesus guide our hearts, our choices, and our priorities, even when life feels like running around like a headless chicken. Join us as we dive deep, share laughs, and encourage each other to live intentionally for Him.

A HEART TO HEART | Our New Monthly Deep-Dive: Living a Life Centered on Jesus 

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?

"Am I Protecting Myself or Living for God?” | A Question Worth Asking | Acts 20:24 with Jacquie Scott

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.
