Do you ever feel like you have to “get it together” before you can come to God?

When you picture God looking at you… does He feel safe—or slightly disappointed?

Have you been quietly carrying a fear of God that feels more like dread than peace?

In this episode, I’m breaking down what the fear of the Lord actually means in Scripture—so you can stop living in quiet dread and start experiencing real peace, trust, and connection with God.

We’re talking about the subtle, often unspoken fear many women carry in their faith—the belief that God is conditional, distant, or keeping score. And we’re calling it what it is: not truth, but a wound.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• The difference between biblical fear (awe, reverence, wonder) and fear rooted in anxiety
• How spiritual environments can shape a distorted view of God without you realizing it
• Why the God you’ve been afraid of may not be the God of Scripture at all
• How to begin healing your view of God through biblical truth, prayer, and honest reflection
• Simple, practical steps to start trusting God again—even if your faith feels fragile

If you’ve been searching for biblical encouragement, healing scriptures for the mind, or Bible verses about anxiety and fear, this episode will meet you right where you are.

This is about more than understanding God—it’s about finally feeling safe with Him.

📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:

• Proverbs 1:7 (Fear of the Lord – reverence, not terror)
• Proverbs 9:10
• Job 28:28
• Psalm 111:10
• Zephaniah 3:17

Are you a mom who loves God but feels like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling?

Have you been going to church your whole life and still feel completely empty inside — like something is missing but you don't know what?

Are you hiding the real version of yourself from God because you are not sure He can handle who you actually are?

In this episode I am sharing why so many moms feel empty, exhausted, and disconnected from God even when they are doing all the right things — and how healing starts the moment you stop performing your faith and get honest with Him. We are diving into Psalm 78:4, the scripture that started this entire rebrand, and unpacking why hiding what God has done is costing you and your family more than you realize. If you have ever felt like your faith was built on rules and fear instead of grace and relationship — this episode is for you. Come back Friday when we open the Word together and go deep into Psalm 78 and what it means specifically for you as a wife and mother.

Are you a mom who has been struggling with your faith, but not sure why?

Does prayer seem more like a burden than a relief?

Are you wanting to grow closer to God, but not sure where to start?

You’re in the right place.

This podcast will help you heal your faith, teach you how to pray, grow closer to God, and fill your home with Him in every corner.

Hi, I’m Ash. Mom of two, wife, and completely obsessed with Jesus. I grew up believing I was a good Christian, until watching my child suffer led to my faith unraveling.

I was left picking up the pieces, trying to pray but not knowing where to start, and struggling to believe in God at all.

It wasn’t until 2am in my son’s hospital bed that I broke down, stopped hiding behind perfect prayers, and went to God fully as myself that my faith transformed.

I found a way back to God that lets me live life with peace and so much joy even in the toughest circumstances. I took what I learned and created two frameworks, one for faith and one for prayer, to guide others to God all by showing up fully as themselves.

If you are ready to have an authentic relationship with God, share your faith with your family, and feel peace within your home, then this podcast is for you.

Grab that cozy blanket, open your Bible, and let’s seek God together.

Have you ever wanted to tell God exactly how you feel — but felt afraid, guilty, or unsure if it was “allowed”?

What does it really mean to be honest with God in prayer?

Why does honesty open the door to deeper trust and surrender?

In this episode of Faith for Autism Moms, we dive into the first letter of the framework: B — Be Honest with God. This episode is for Christian autism moms and moms raising children with disabilities who are exhausted, overwhelmed, or questioning if God hears them.

We explore why honest prayer is not a failure of faith, why editing your feelings creates distance instead of closeness with God, and how honesty opens the door for Him to meet you exactly where you are. From Psalm 62:8 to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, we unpack biblical examples that show honesty is the foundation of all real prayer — and real relationship with God.

• Why honesty in prayer is the first step in the Be Mighty in Prayer framework

• How dishonesty in prayer quietly erodes faith

• Biblical examples of honest prayer, including David and Jesus

• Practical steps to start speaking your true heart to God today

• Encouragement for parents raising children with disabilities to bring real prayer, not performative words

• Psalm 62:8

Why does God feel silent in prolonged disability motherhood? Is it a lack of faith to feel abandoned by God when prayers go unanswered? What does the Bible say when suffering doesn’t resolve and endurance is all that’s left?

Episode Highlights

• The difference between crisis faith and chronic faith

• Why Christian autism moms and moms raising children with disabilities uniquely experience spiritual and emotional erosion

• Jesus’ use of abandonment language—and why it matters for suffering moms

• Psalm 88 and the biblical permission for unresolved darkness

• How fear, burnout, and nervous system overload distort spiritual perception

• Why God’s grace sometimes replaces relief instead of removing the thorn

• A direct word of encouragement and Christian support for disability moms still standing in the silence

Episode Summary

Disability motherhood often moves from emergency to endurance, and faith must stretch in ways few people understand. This episode speaks to the long, quiet season that follows diagnosis, when support fades, routines solidify, and God feels silent.

Using Scripture that honors prolonged suffering rather than bypassing it, this episode reframes what faith looks like when there is no cure, no breakthrough, and no resolution on this side of heaven. It offers a biblical and compassionate response to exhaustion, grief, anger, and doubt—without shaming or spiritual pressure.

This is not an episode about fixing your faith. It’s about reminding Christian autism moms and moms raising children with disabilities that feeling abandoned does not mean you are abandoned.

Scriptures Mentioned: Psalm 22:1–2 | Psalm 88 | Psalm 31:22 | 2 Corinthians 12:8–10 | Hebrews 13:5

This episode is for:

• Christian autism moms and moms raising children with disabilities no longer in shock, but quietly exhausted

• Moms navigating routine appointments, constant vigilance, and emotional fatigue

• Women whose faith feels worn thin and God feels silent

In this conversation, we explore faith when God feels quiet, using Scripture that does not rush pain or demand resolution. We sit with Psalm 22, Psalm 88, Psalm 31, Jesus’ words on the cross, Paul’s unanswered prayer, and God’s promise to never leave or forsake us.

We address the questions disability moms are afraid to say out loud:

• Why hasn’t God intervened?

• Did I misunderstand His promises?

• Am I failing God because this still hurts?

If you’re walking through a prolonged disability season and wondering whether God has gone quiet, this episode offers biblical clarity, emotional validation, and permission to remain in relationship with God—even without relief.

You are not doing faith wrong. You are not less spiritual because this season is heavy. And you are not abandoned—even in the long silence.
