NEW YEARS EVE SPECIAL: You're Not Crazy For Feeling Heavy (Here's What Helps) | John 1:5 with Jacquie & Shaylee

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given… and He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God.” — Isaiah 9:6

Christmas isn’t just about what happened then — it’s about what’s still true now.
God is with us.

In this special Christmas episode, Ash is joined by Jacquie and Shaylee for a heartfelt reflection on the year that’s been — the highs, the hardships, and the moments where God’s presence carried them through.

Together, they reflect on:


What it looks like to experience God with us in everyday life — not just at Christmas


Celebrating joy while still acknowledging grief, exhaustion, and struggle


Navigating new seasons: marriage, motherhood, health, rest, and change


Learning to slow down, release control, and trust God’s provision


Why discipline, rest, and honesty with God matter — especially when life feels overwhelming


How God walks with us through anxiety, uncertainty, and growth, rather than removing us from it

This conversation is raw, reflective, and deeply hopeful — a reminder that Emmanuel isn’t distant or symbolic. He is present in the middle of our mess, our joy, our exhaustion, and our becoming.

As we remember the birth of Jesus, may this episode remind you that the same God who came as a child is still near — steady, faithful, and with you in every season.

✨ God with us. Always.

CHRISTMAS EPISODE | God With Us Through Parenting, Growth & Mental Health | Isaiah 9:6 with Jacquie & Shaylee

“We love because He first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19

In today’s episode, Ash is joined by Tiani to unpack one of the most foundational truths of the Christian faith — that our ability to love others flows directly from the love we’ve first received from God.

Together, they reflect on what it looks like to love generously, sacrificially, and sincerely, even when life, relationships, and past experiences have made love feel complicated or costly.

In this conversation, they explore:


How understanding God’s love reshapes the way we love people


Why love isn’t optional for Christians — even when it’s uncomfortable


The difference between loving from obligation and loving from revelation


How church and community are meant to look different because of love


What to do when past hurt makes loving others feel risky


Learning to receive love, not just give it

This episode is honest, tender, and deeply encouraging. If you’ve ever found it hard to love people well — or hard to believe that you yourself are truly loved — this conversation will help realign your heart with the truth that God loved you first, and that His love is enough to transform how you live, love, and show up for others.
