Today on Walking Deeply with Jesus, Ashley is getting real about what it means to connect with God as a good Father. She shares a vision God gave her that helped heal a lot of old beliefs—and honestly, it might just hit home for you too. If you’ve ever felt distant from God, struggled with shame, or just wondered if you’re doing enough for Him, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about how to break free from fear and step into the real love and security God offers us.

In this episode:

• Healing our view of God as Father
• Learning to trust His heart for us
• Breaking out of shame, fear, and striving
• A prayer to open up your heart

Come hang out with us and be reminded that you are fully loved, seen, and safe with your Father.

This week on Walking Deeply with Jesus, host Ashley Hepperly is joined by Pastor Justin Phillips as they dive into the power of the resurrection—not just as an event, but as the life it calls us into.

Join us for a deep, raw, and honest conversation about what it really means to live on this side of the empty tomb. We talk about the tender heart of Jesus, the radical grace that meets us in our mess, and the kind of love that turns graves into gardens.

We unpack John 19:39, the spices used to bury Jesus, and the weight Mary was willing to carry at the tomb. We look at the disciples’ doubt, the shame we still carry, and the truth that Jesus still shows up—right in the middle of our hiding, fear, and unbelief—not with condemnation, but with a call: Get up.

If you've ever felt disqualified, stuck in guilt, or unsure of your place in the story—this episode is for you. Because resurrection life isn’t for the perfect. It’s for the willing. The weary. The ones ready to come out of hiding.

The grave was never the end. It's the beginning of something beautiful.

Stay to the end for a powerful prayer of resurrection hope and healing.

Hey friend—welcome to Walking Deeply with Jesus. I’m your host Ashley with Rooted Collective, and today we’re diving into something that might just shift your whole perspective on the cross… maybe even step on a few religious toes.

We’re talking about the blood of Jesus—not just as a ticket to heaven, but as the very source of healing, freedom, and wholeness right here and now. If you’ve grown up hearing about the cross as just a nice Easter story or a religious tradition, this episode might challenge you—in the best way.

We unpack what one drop of Jesus’ blood actually means for your everyday life, how communion is more than a ritual, and why trusting in His sacrifice over your own effort is the key to walking in true rest. From the garden to Golgotha, every part of His journey was intentionally for you.

Whether you’ve been walking with Jesus for years or just wrestling with what you believe, there’s room for you here.

Stick around ‘til the end—we’ll take communion together.

Ever wondered why God doesn’t just rescue us right now—when everything’s falling apart, when the pain feels too heavy, when we’re crying out and all we hear is silence?

In this episode, I'm hanging out with my good friend Austin, and we go there.

We talk about what it really means to endure with the Holy Spirit. Romans 5:3–5 reminds us that suffering produces perseverance, and perseverance builds something eternal in us: character, hope, and depth. But when you're in the thick of it, that doesn’t always feel comforting—it just feels hard.

We unpack real stories of pain, dark nights, brokenness, and the powerful ways Jesus met us there. We talk about the lies we believe when we’re suffering, the beauty that’s forming under the surface, and how God uses it all—not to punish us, but to strengthen us and prepare us to reach others with deep compassion and spiritual strength.

This one’s for the one who feels like they’re drowning. The one who's been crying out, “God, where are you?” The one who's tired of fighting and feels forgotten.

You’re not alone. You’re not forsaken. And your endurance is producing something holy.

Let’s talk about it.
