    2025/10/29
    Hey y’all—Piddlin & Ponderin’ is back! 🎉 In this comeback episode, Ashley opens up about a three-year wrestle that ended with closing Silver Lining, letting go of the busy for the fruitful, and finally choosing “the good part” (Luke 10:38–42). From porch prayers and Chick-fil-A lessons to poinsettias, papaw’s mushroom pot, and a brand-new greenhouse, it’s a story of God’s timing, tender correction, and real-life surrender. If you’re weary from doing, come sit a spell—this conversation will lift the weight and re-center your heart on Jesus.
    Scripture: Luke 10:38–42 (KJV), Matthew 11:28–30, Romans 8:28
    Themes: hustle vs. holiness, listening prayer, pruning commitments, making room for joy

    In this episode of "Piddle In and Pondering," host Ashley Lascor reflects on the importance of sharing one's story and singing one's song, even in the midst of challenging seasons. She recounts her own journey through a season of pruning, which began unexpectedly in 2020 amidst a global pandemic. Ashley shares insights gained from her pruning season, highlighting the importance of focusing on what can be controlled—attitude and actions—amidst circumstances beyond one's control.Throughout the episode, Ashley delves into the fruits of the spirit, exploring the deeper spiritual meanings behind concepts like joy, peace, love, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. She encourages listeners to seek spiritual definitions for these qualities in the Bible, emphasizing the transformative power of faith and the importance of cultivating a relationship with Jesus.Interwoven with reflections on her spiritual journey, Ashley also introduces some of her plant companions, including a plant given in memory of her grandfather (Papaw), one from her grandmother (Nanny), and another acquired from a high school fundraiser (Fancy).
