Don’t Worry About Tomorrow | Matthew 6:34 with Kate Westwood
In this episode, Ash and Kate Westwood unpack Matthew 6:34 — “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Ash shares how she’s learning to take life one day at a time — especially on those exhausting “Megatron Tuesdays” — and how trusting God with each day helps her overcome overwhelm. Kate opens up about navigating worry and overthinking in a new relationship, and how we can all choose what thoughts to entertain and which ones to hand over to God. If you’ve ever found yourself spiraling into “what ifs” or stressing about the future, this conversation will remind you that God gives us the grace and strength we need — for today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is It Okay to Question God? | Kate’s Journey of Rebuilding Faith | 1 John 16:33 with Kate Westwood
What do you do when faith feels fake, heavy, or full of rules you can’t live up to? In today’s episode, Ash sits down with Kate Westwood, who opens up about her journey of moving from a place where questioning wasn’t allowed, to discovering that God invites us to wrestle, ask, and seek Him with honesty. Together they unpack the tension between “having enough faith” and trusting God’s will, the pressure of performance-driven Christianity, and the freedom that comes when you realise Jesus doesn’t demand blind belief—He wants relationship. This all leads into today’s verse, 1 John 3:16:“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.” Kate’s honesty reminds us that God is big enough for our questions, gentle with our doubts, and faithful even when faith feels complicated.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
