“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
This powerful promise from Matthew 5:4 is at the heart of today’s honest and hope-filled conversation with Ash and Kate Willcox.

Together, they unpack what mourning really looks like - not just in loss, but in unmet expectations, life transitions, relational disappointments, and even the grief of letting go of old dreams or sin. Kate opens up about her own journey of singleness, delayed dreams, and how leaning into God’s presence - daily, has been the key to comfort, peace, and renewed identity.

This episode is a reminder that you’re not alone in your pain, and that comfort is not only promised - but available. Right here, right now.

Together, they dive deep into what it really means to be “poor in spirit”- and why true blessing starts with dependence on God, not self-sufficiency. From unexpected seasons of growth to pressure-filled moments where everything looks good but feels off, this episode is a reminder that we don’t have to have it all together to belong to God. In fact, we’re not meant to.
