In today’s episode, Ash and her husband Tobias dive into Philippians 4:4 — “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: rejoice!”

This honest conversation unpacks what joy really is — and what it’s not. Happiness comes and goes, but joy? Joy is rooted in Christ. It’s a deliberate choice, not a natural emotion.

Ash shares vulnerably about being a “glass half empty” person and learning to fix her eyes on God instead of her circumstances. Toby brings in the powerful reminder that Paul wrote this verse from prison, proving that joy isn’t about comfort, success, or convenience — it’s about knowing Jesus.

Together they talk through:

• The difference between happiness and joy

• Why joy can be chosen even in the valley

• How focusing on eternity reshapes today’s struggles

• Practical ways to rejoice (even when life feels heavy)

• Why gratitude and perspective actually shift your heart

If you’ve been finding it hard to feel joyful, this episode will help you re-centre your eyes, your thoughts, and your heart on the One who never changes.

It’s easy to get caught up in comparison, distraction, and the chaos of everyday life — but in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Paul reminds us that faith is something we’re meant to walk out together:

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”

In this episode, Ash and her husband Tobias Couchman talk about what it really means to live this out — from surrounding yourself with the right people, to being that person who lifts others up. They unpack how encouragement, accountability, and unity shape a healthy community and help us stay strong in faith, even when life feels heavy.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your walk with God or unsure how to encourage others, this episode is a beautiful reminder: we’re called to build, not just belong.

They share personal stories about how love sometimes means having hard conversations, telling the truth gently, and helping people grow rather than letting them stay stuck.

• The difference between love and approval

• Why truth and love must go hand-in-hand

• How to lovingly correct and encourage others

• Finding joy in what’s right, not what’s popular
