Do you feel like God has stopped listening to your prayers? Are you questioning why He would allow your child to struggle? Will you ever be able to trust God again?
In this podcast, you will find solutions to restore your faith in God as a Christian mom raising an autistic or medically complex child. My mission is to equip you to be mighty in your faith through prayer, validation rooted in scripture, and reconnection with God.
If you’re ready to believe and trust in God again with everything you’ve faced in motherhood, you’re in the right place.
Hey, I’m Ash! Mom of two (one autistic with a rare disease), wife, and former Disney princess turned reverend. When my son was diagnosed with a rare disease at just seven months old, my faith was shaken in ways I never imagined. I prayed, begged, and pleaded with God, only to be met with silence. I felt like He had abandoned me when I needed Him the most.
I finally realized that everything I thought I knew about prayer and God had been misguided. I opened my Bible, turned to scripture, became an ordained ministry coach, and discovered a simple framework that made prayer possible again, even in the hardest moments. And I’m ready to share it all with you.
If you’re ready to feel refreshed in your faith, fully embrace the title Christian Autism Mom, and feel like God is your BFF (because He absolutely is), this podcast is for you.
So fill up your water jug, open your heart, and let’s fill up your spirit together!
