About this listen

Psalm 121:5 says, “The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand.”
In today’s episode, Ash shares a real moment where everything went “wrong” — running late, getting pulled over, panicking about missing a concert — only to look back and realise God might have been protecting them the whole time.

Sometimes God’s covering doesn’t look like a miracle… it looks like an interruption.
A delay.
A detour.
A closed door.
Something that frustrates you at first, but later reveals His kindness, His timing, and His protection.

In this episode, Ash unpacks:

  • How God guards us in ways we don’t always see

  • Why “setbacks” can actually be God keeping you safe

  • The difference between God’s protection and God’s comfort

  • How Psalm 121:5 shows God as both our defender and our place of rest

  • Practical ways to shift your perspective when things don’t go to plan

  • What happens when you choose trust over panic

  • How to find joy, rest, and reassurance in God’s authority

If life feels messy, delayed, or out of control, this conversation is a reminder to breathe, look up, and trust that God watches over every step — even the ones that feel like setbacks. He is your protector and your shade.
