In this episode of the God Is Good Podcast, host Carol O'Brien shares the inspiring story of Ashley, a wife, mother, and author. Raised in a mixed religious household, Ashley's journey to finding a personal relationship with Jesus was filled with obstacles, including her father's absence, bullying, and abuse. Despite these adversities, an encounter with God's presence at the age of 16 radically transformed her life. Ashley shares how she found peace, self-worth, and a calling to write, culminating in the recent release of her book 'His Liberating Flame' on Audible. Ashley’s testimony is a moving reminder of God's unwavering love and the power of faith in overcoming life's deepest challenges.
