Manage episode 372848878 series 2935996
Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a hard place and couldn't see your way out?
We're excited to share our recent conversation with author Ashley Jackson, a woman who's turned her faith journey into inspiration for others. Ashley vulnerably shares her personal struggles with postpartum depression and how she navigated through the pressure of finding purpose. Her testament to God's faithfulness is nothing short of inspiring as she reveals how obedience led her to places she never imagined.
We found that Ashley's wisdom rings true as she draws attention to the importance of being open with God with our most challenging thoughts and feelings. We delved into the practical ways to process these emotions with Him, and the role these open conversations play in managing anxiety and breaking away from detrimental thought patterns. We also discussed spiritual warfare—the subtle enemy tactics that threaten our fulfillment of God-given purposes—and how our honesty with God prepares us to stay firm in our faith.
Ashley encourages us to trust God through our trials, as our experiences can serve as a light for others in similar situations. Our stories can become a source of encouragement, serving as a reminder of God's unending faithfulness.
Brace yourself for an uplifting and empowering conversation with Ashley Jackson.
