Ep. 114 Walking With Jesus When You Can't Take Another Step
What do you do when life hands you something you never would have chosen?
A diagnosis. A loss. A phone call. A season where everything feels too heavy to carry.
In this deeply personal episode, Ash shares from a hospital hallway about what it means to walk with Jesus when you don't have the strength to take another step. Together, we'll explore how Jesus moves toward suffering with compassion, invites us to trust Him in uncertainty, and carries us when our own strength runs out.

Because sometimes faith doesn't look like taking the next step.
Sometimes faith looks like letting yourself be carried.
