OH HEY!! In this hope-filled episode, Ash and Joelle dive deep into one of the most comforting promises in Scripture - that no matter how dark our current season feels, joy is coming.

Psalm 30:5 says: "Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."

In today’s episode, Ash is joined by Joelle to unpack the parable from Luke 18, where a Pharisee proudly lists his good deeds while a tax collector simply asks for mercy.

For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” — Luke 18:14 (NIV) Joelle opens up about how easy it is—even for those in ministry or long-time Christians—to slip into spiritual pride.
