Hope for Every Parent | God’s Heart for Families | Malachi 4:6 with Ro Allford
As parents, it’s easy to feel the pressure to “get it right” when it comes to our children’s faith. We want them to love God, to choose Him, to keep walking with Him—but the truth is, we can’t manufacture their belief. Faith is something only God can awaken in their hearts. In this episode, Ash and Ro dive into Malachi 4:6, a verse about God restoring relationships across generations. Ro shares vulnerably about parenting in the “in-between” years—when your kids are deciding what they believe for themselves—and how she’s learning to let go of fear, trust God with their journey, and cover them in prayer instead of control. If you’ve ever felt the ache of wondering whether your kids will stay close to God—or if you’ve carried guilt when they’ve drifted—this conversation will remind you that God’s love is greater than your efforts, and His promises for your family still stand.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

God Provides What We Really Need | Matthew 6:33 with Jacquie Scott
As a kid, Ash thought going to Disneyland was just a simple wish away. As an adult, she now realises her parents would’ve had to remortgage the house to make it happen. That moment sparked a bigger conversation with Jacquie about money, worry, and how childhood perspectives can shape the way we see provision. In this episode, Ash and Jacquie unpack Matthew 6:33: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Jacquie shares how she’s battled financial anxiety since childhood and what it’s looked like to relearn the truth about God’s provision. Together, they explore how seeking God first shifts our focus from lack to abundance, and how He’s faithful to meet our needs—even if it’s not always in the way we imagined. This is an encouraging, practical conversation for anyone who has ever worried about money or struggled to believe God would come through.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
