Episode Synopsis

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.00:00 Introduction to the God Is Good Podcast00:47 Personal Testimony: Carol's Faith Journey01:43 Introducing Today's Guest: Ashley02:37 Ashley's Childhood Faith Foundation05:40 Struggles and Family Challenges07:58 A Turning Point: Rediscovering Faith14:21 Supernatural Experience and Transformation19:08 Life After Transformation: New Beginnings20:27 Ashley's Writing Journey22:24 Exciting Announcements and Final Thoughts24:12 Conclusion and Listener EngagementAshley ThompsonBlog: Nourishment Through WordsBooks:Fallen Coins: A Lesson on the Blessings of ObedienceHis Liberating FlameHis Liberating Flame AudiobookRomantic Rendezvous for the Soul: Pleasure that Makes You WholeVisions of Celestial Love7SfHxsr0Qw1ktntalEnRYqK9ChmRSGHUta0jJd9dSupport the showOur goal with this episode is to move at least one heart toward God -- is it yours?
