Are you struggling to pray because you feel guilty or ashamed about doubting God?

Do you wonder if your honest emotions make you a “bad Christian” as you navigate parenting an autistic or medically complex child?

Are you ready to rediscover how to pray, restore your faith, and feel God’s love in the midst of life’s hardest moments?

In this episode, I’m sharing how Christian autism moms can approach God with honesty; even when doubting, frustrated, or scared; so you can restore your faith, experience healing as a mom, and feel empowered to pray without shame.

We dive into the common struggles many moms face when their children have autism or complex medical needs: the endless appointments, sleepless nights, and moments of feeling powerless. I share my personal story of fear, frustration, and doubt, and how I learned that these feelings do not make me a bad mom or a bad Christian.

You’ll hear why being honest with God is not only okay, it’s essential. We explore how Jesus Himself modeled authentic communication with God, even expressing anguish and confusion, and how you can follow His example in your own prayer life.

This episode offers practical guidance for reclaiming your prayer life, including:

• How to bring your doubts and fears to God without guilt
• Scripture that reassures you of God’s unconditional love
• Reflection prompts to help you process emotions and connect more deeply with God
• Steps to restore faith and feel empowered as a Christian mom

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with renewed confidence in approaching God, tools to pray honestly, and the peace that comes from knowing God’s love never fails, no matter what doubts or fears you face.

Have you ever prayed the same prayer for months, or years, and wondered if God was even listening?

Are you struggling to trust God’s timing when your child’s progress feels painfully slow?

Do you ever feel like persistence is pointless when you can’t see change?

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the hardest and most essential parts of prayer: persistence.

If you’re a mom raising an autistic or medically complex child, you already know that persistence isn’t optional, it’s survival. But spiritually, it’s also sacred. Ash shares how persisting in prayer became her lifeline during the early years of her son Max’s autism journey, when every decision felt impossible and every piece of advice contradicted the last.

Through Luke 18, Galatians 6:9, and Romans 12:12, we see how Jesus calls us to keep praying... not because God forgets, but because persistence transforms us. You’ll also hear how science backs this up through neuroplasticity, showing that endurance literally rewires our brains to be more resilient.

This episode is for the mom who’s exhausted, the one who’s prayed until she’s out of words, the one who’s still whispering “God, please help.” You’ll walk away reminded that persistence isn’t a sign of weak faith, it’s the heartbeat of faith.

This is not advice for your specific situation—only a personal reflection on what worked for my family.

Do you ever struggle to thank God when life feels anything but good?

Wonder how on Earth you could “give thanks in all circumstances,” even in heartbreak?

Want to discover how gratitude could bring you peace instead of pressure?

In this episode, I’m sharing how God designed gratitude to heal your heart, literally and spiritually. We’ll explore the neuroscience behind reflective prayer and why giving thanks can rewire your brain toward peace.

I’ll walk you through powerful Scriptures that show gratitude as more than positivity, it’s a spiritual anchor, and share a personal story of how God used gratitude to open my eyes to His protection and perfect timing in my son’s life.

By the end of this episode, you’ll see how gratitude isn’t pretending everything’s fine, it’s learning to notice God’s fingerprints in the middle of real life.

Ever felt paralyzed by a big decision for your child... like every option feels wrong?

Have you prayed for clarity but felt like heaven went silent?

Do you wish you could actually hear God’s guidance in the middle of chaos and medical overwhelm?

In this episode, I’m sharing how to practice focused and intentional prayer when you’re a Christian autism mom making impossible decisions for your child.

You’ll learn how to pray for clarity without pressure, how to notice God’s nudges in your daily life (yes, even through TV shows and ordinary moments), and how to build a rhythm of prayer that brings calm in the storm.

I share two deeply personal stories: one about deciding whether to move forward with a clinical trial for my son’s rare disease, and another about trusting God to make the right call for therapy. Through both, I learned that intentional prayer isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence.

By the end, you’ll walk away with practical ways to invite God into your decision-making and confidence to move forward in faith, even when the path ahead feels foggy.

Do you feel like God has stopped listening to your prayers? Are you questioning why He would allow your child to struggle? Will you ever be able to trust God again?

In this podcast, you will find solutions to restore your faith in God as a Christian mom raising an autistic or medically complex child. My mission is to equip you to be mighty in your faith through prayer, validation rooted in scripture, and reconnection with God.

If you’re ready to believe and trust in God again with everything you’ve faced in motherhood, you’re in the right place.

Hey, I’m Ash! Mom of two (one autistic with a rare disease), wife, and former Disney princess turned reverend. When my son was diagnosed with a rare disease at just seven months old, my faith was shaken in ways I never imagined. I prayed, begged, and pleaded with God, only to be met with silence. I felt like He had abandoned me when I needed Him the most.

I finally realized that everything I thought I knew about prayer and God had been misguided. I opened my Bible, turned to scripture, became an ordained ministry coach, and discovered a simple framework that made prayer possible again, even in the hardest moments. And I’m ready to share it all with you.

If you’re ready to feel refreshed in your faith, fully embrace the title Christian Autism Mom, and feel like God is your BFF (because He absolutely is), this podcast is for you.

So fill up your water jug, open your heart, and let’s fill up your spirit together!
