Daily Encouragement with Ashley Campbell

Today I want to continue a conversation I started with you guys last Thursday. It had been a question that came to my mind that I had never considered before and I want to share it with you so you can begin to ponder it in the context of your life. "How do you know your perception is true?" This is relevant because your "perception" will dictate the whole course of your life. Do you like where you...

This is our foundation and the core of this podcast series. I want you to know and define yourself on the basis of who you are in character and not by your performacne, circumstances and opinions of other people. How do you define youself? Are you defined by just a "what" or a "how"? What is the common denominator in both of these? How are you doing to get yourself on a more stable foundation? Im...

Ok Friends. I was reading in Matthew 23 the day I recorded so that is what inspired me to talk about this with you guys today. Jesus was always calling out the Pharisees and Teachers of the Law so I think its importent that we don't find ourselves living the way they did BUT if we do, we can ask for Gods grace and make some transistions in our perspective that will give us life. The 7 Woes. If you...

This week I'm sharing with you the ways that we can as human beings build our identity. These are the ways that are NOT serving us. Most do it this way and this is excatly why we have some many in the world who are feeling hopeless, helpless, depressed, anxious, stressed, condemned, confused and the list goes on and on. I built my life on these ways at one point and time in my life so I can unders...

All these are indicators to a way of think...

Can you relate?  If you are honest like I am, I am sure you can recall a period of time in your life where you felt like you were not making any progress in life. Maybe you felt burdened, afraid, judged, condemned, defensive, frustrated, shamed and any other negitive emotion that is oposite of what God produces inside a person who has integrated Gods grace. I had knowledge of Gods grace but i...

Today I share the stages we go through as our beliefs are developed. I wanted to share it with you in hopes of providing a framework for how your own beliefs were formed.

If you are a Christian, I'm sure you have read that God gives grace to the humble. I read that but really had no idea what humility was. I had the idea what it meant. I lived what I tought it was: be a dormat.  I did that for years.  About one year ago I was reading in scripture in Proverbs  22:4 It says Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.&nbsp...
