Conversations Unscripted with Ashley from SimplyBlessedDesignz

Click to Comment! Have you ever prayed for something… and then it just felt like everything went quiet? Like you KNOW God hears you… but nothing is moving the way you thought it would? Yeah… we’re talking about that today. Because it’s real easy to have faith when things are flowing, doors are opening, and everything makes sense. It’s a whole different story when you’re sitting in the waiting, won...

Click to Comment! If you’ve been staying busy, handling what needs to be handled, and still feeling more worn down than you expected, this one is probably going to hit a little closer than you planned. It’s easy to keep moving, to keep adding one more thing to the list, and to tell yourself you’ll slow down later once everything is done… but later doesn’t really come, and before long you realize y...

Click to Comment! Trusting God through change is one of those things that sounds simple… until life starts shifting and you realize real quick how much you liked having a plan. In this episode of Unscripted Conversations , we’re talking about what it looks like when things start feeling off, when doors don’t open the way you expected, and when God starts moving things in a direction you didn’t see...

Click to Comment! If you’ve ever laid down at night and your body is tired but your mind decides it’s got one more shift to work… just running through the same thing over and over trying to figure it out… yeah, we’re talking about that today. Because we’re real good at telling ourselves we’re just being responsible… just trying to stay on top of things… just trying to fix what needs fixing… but if...

Click to Comment! Faith over fear… sounds real good until you’re the one actually having to do it. You know that feeling when you know you need to take a step, but your mind starts running ahead of you trying to talk you out of it? Not because you don’t trust God, but because you’ve been through enough to know things don’t always go the way you thought they would. That’s what this episode is about...

Click to Comment! Alright y’all… this one goes deep. We hear people say “forgive and forget” all the time like it’s just a cute little Christian bumper sticker. But anybody who’s actually been hurt knows it’s not that simple. So today we’re talking about forgiveness… the real kind. The kind that shows up when someone never apologized. When trust got broken. When the relationship changed everything...

Click to Comment! Sometimes God asks us to move before the explanation shows up. In this episode we’re talking about what it looks like to say yes to God when clarity hasn’t caught up yet. Not the big dramatic moments we read about later, but the quiet everyday obedience where you’re standing in your kitchen wondering if you’re really hearing Him right. We’ll look at the stories of Noah, Job, and...

Click to Comment! Faith without a timeline is easy to say and hard to live. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really looks like to let go and let God when there are no dates, deadlines, or guarantees in sight. If you’re trusting God but still asking when, how long, or what’s next, this conversation is for you. I share why so much of our stress comes from wanting a timeline instead of lear...

Click to Comment! There are times where faith doesn’t feel dramatic or urgent — it just feels quiet. You’re still doing the right things. You’re still praying. Still showing up. Still trying to walk in wisdom. But if you’re honest, you’re wondering if anything is actually moving forward… or if you’re just living the same day on repeat. In this episode, I’m talking about that quiet middle place of...

Click to Comment! What do Proverbs 31 and Peter walking on water have in common? More than you think. In this episode, we unpack what walking in wisdom actually looks like — and why neither of these stories is about perfection. They’re about a steady walk with God, built over time, even when confidence wavers.  Proverbs 31 was never meant to make you feel behind. It was meant to show the fruit of...

Click to Comment! Have you ever ended the day completely worn out—not because you didn’t work hard, but because you wondered if any of it really mattered? In this episode of Unscripted Conversations , we’re continuing our Faith in Motion series and taking another slow, intentional step through Proverbs 31. Today we’re talking about purpose, work, and influence beyond the front door—and how God nev...

Click to Comment! In this episode of Unscripted Conversations , we continue our Proverbs 31 series by shifting the focus from pressure to presence. Instead of reading Proverbs 31 as a checklist, we look at what faith looks like when it’s lived out at home—in the ordinary, unseen, everyday places where most of life actually happens. This conversation explores the quiet strength of faithfulness thro...

Click to Comment! Proverbs 31 is often treated like a checklist — a standard to measure ourselves against and quietly feel behind on. But what if it was never meant to be that? In this episode of Unscripted Conversations , we’re slowing down and looking at Proverbs 31 through a different lens. Not as a list of expectations, but as a calling shaped over time. We talk about worth before work, trust...

Click to Comment! In this episode of Unscripted Conversations , Ashley finishes out her Proverbs 3 “resolutions” and brings them straight into real life. Not the quiet-time version. The Monday-morning, busy-days, tired-evenings version. This conversation is about learning how to live out your faith when your schedule is full, your heart is tired, and life hasn’t slowed down just because God spoke...

Click to Comment! If you’ve ever made resolutions that looked good on paper but didn’t really change your heart, you’re not alone. Season 3 of Unscripted Conversations is called Faith in Motion , and this season is about letting your faith stop being something you mostly talk about and start being something you actually live out. In this first episode, we open Proverbs chapter 3 and walk through t...

Click to Comment! Do you usually make New Year’s resolutions? Every year about this time, the world gets loud with fresh starts, big plans, and everything we’re “supposed” to change when the calendar flips. But tonight’s conversation isn’t about pressure, hype, or trying to overhaul your life overnight. It’s about slowing down, catching your breath, and stepping into the new year with grace instea...

Click to Comment! Love wrapped in cloth is one of the quietest details of the Christmas story, yet it carries so much meaning. In this episode of Unscripted Conversations , we slow down and reflect on what it means that Jesus chose humility, gentleness, and closeness over comfort. Through Luke 2, Philippians 2, and 2 Corinthians 8, we look at how this simple moment in the manger still speaks to re...

Click to Comment! In this episode of Unscripted Conversations , we’re talking about the kind of hope that refuses to burn out, even when life hands you seasons that feel dark, heavy, or just plain exhausting. The light Jesus brings isn’t fragile — it’s steady, powerful, and able to shine right through grief, stress, loneliness, and the tender spots the holidays always seem to stir up. We dig into...

Click to Comment! Life is loud, y’all. Schedules are packed, planners are full, and the middle of the day has a way of swallowing us whole before we even realize it. In today’s episode, “Making Space for Him in the Middle,” we’re talking about what it looks like to invite Jesus into the part of our day that tends to get the least of our attention — the messy middle. We dive into Matthew 11:28, Rev...

Click to Comment! Faith that moves feet isn’t quiet faith—it’s faith in action. In this episode, we dig into James 2–3 and talk about what it means to live out a faith that doesn’t just speak, but actually moves .
