TRUE ENCOURAGEMENT: 1 Thessalonians 5:11-12

In this Heart to Heart episode, Ash Couchman is joined by Tiani Welch-Phillips for an honest and faith-filled conversation about what it really means to respond to God.

From big life changes and stepping out in obedience, to navigating seasons of uncertainty, surrender, and growth — this episode dives deep into the reality of hearing God’s voice and choosing to trust Him anyway.

Tiani shares openly about moving to Sydney, letting go of control, and the tension of trusting God when you don’t have all the answers. Together, they explore how our response to God isn’t just about what we feel — but how we live, surrender, praise, and delight in Him daily.

Whether you're in a season of change, wrestling with surrender, or simply wanting to grow closer to God, this conversation will encourage you to take your next step.

Take a moment after listening to reflect:
How is God asking you to respond today?

A HEART-TO-HEART | 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.
