  • Forgive Daily | Choosing Kindness and Compassion | Ephesians 4:32 with Ro Allford
    Aug 28 2025

    In this episode of the Everyday Joy Podcast, Ash & Ro dive into Ephesians 4:32 with a powerful reminder that forgiveness is both a choice and a practice. They explore how showing kindness and compassion isn’t always a one-time decision—it’s something we may need to choose daily, especially when disappointment or hurt resurfaces.

    Ash shares personal reflections on her journey through forgiveness in her late teens and early twenties, highlighting how extending grace is a fundamental way to live out Christ’s love. Ro adds her insights on the challenges and joys of forgiving others, drawing connections between faith, psychology, and the courage it takes to let go of unforgiveness.

    Together, they discuss real-life examples of extraordinary forgiveness, how culture often encourages resentment, and why returning kindness and compassion—even when it’s difficult—is a powerful testimony of God’s love.

    Whether you’re wrestling with unforgiveness or seeking to grow in grace, this episode encourages you to ask God for compassion, embrace forgiveness, and experience the freedom that comes from letting go.

  • He Goes Before You | Recognising God’s Presence in Every Season | Deuteronomy 31:8 with Ro Allford
    Aug 27 2025

    In this episode of the Everyday Joy Podcast, Ash is joined by Ro to dive into Deuteronomy 31:8 and the comforting truth that God goes before us, never leaving or forsaking us. Together, they reflect on what it means to trust God even when life feels uncertain, uncomfortable, or overwhelming.

    Ash shares a powerful personal story of realizing that she had accepted Jesus at six years old—something she only fully understood in hindsight. Ro adds her insights, describing God’s presence as a sweet, comforting constant, like “honey being poured over chicken”—an unforgettable image of God’s gentleness and care.

    From moments of fear, discouragement, and doubt to recognizing the unseen ways God protects and guides us, this episode reminds us that even when life feels messy or unclear, God is always with us, going before us and leading the way.

    Tune in for encouragement, reflection, and a heartfelt reminder that God’s presence is in every season of life.

    Aug 25 2025

    RO IS BACK ON THE POD! Ash and Ro dive into Hebrews 4:12, “For the Word of God is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword…” and explore what it really means for Scripture to shape and transform our lives today.

    They talk about how the Bible cuts through distraction, reveals the true intentions of our hearts, and equips us for the battles we face. From the challenge of prayer vs. reading the Word, to those life-changing moments when a verse suddenly speaks into your situation, this is an honest and practical conversation about why God’s Word is never out of date—and why living in Scripture changes everything.
