In this solo episode, Ash unpacks Romans 5:1 (NIV) — “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

It’s a verse many of us have read before but maybe never fully understood. What does it really mean to be “justified by faith”? Ash breaks it down beautifully, explaining that justification isn’t something we earn through good works — it’s a gift of grace given through Jesus.

She shares the difference between justification (being made right with God in a moment through faith) and sanctification (the lifelong process of becoming more like Him). Along the way, Ash reflects on a powerful video she watched that reminded her how precious it is to have assurance in Christ — that we don’t have to wonder if we’ve “done enough” to be saved.

This episode is a reminder that peace doesn’t come from striving, but from surrender. When you know Jesus, you can rest in the truth that you are forgiven, set free, and made right with God — not because of what you do, but because of what He’s already done.
