Daily Encouragement with Ashley Campbell

God says that his people will die from lack of understanding.  God also tells us that his people will die from our lack of knowledge. Are you aware of the knowledge of your own life?  Are you aware of the outcomes you have had that lead to a good outcome, bad out come or both? Are you growing in your own understanding of the knowledge of your life,  how it's impacting you and using...

Man....this hit me today and I was blessed. I hope it blesses you today too! Real and Ideal (Integrating God's grace into your life). This is something that I have only began to understand the last few years. I had no idea the amount of shame I was living under and how it was impacting my relationship with God and others. I had lived in a place that God would abandoned me if I shared my whole self...

In this episode, Im relating back to yesterdays podcast about who we bond with and today I want to talk about the impact of that. Who we bond to will determine what good or bad we allow into ourl life. Boundaries! This is something that I have only began to implement into my life the last 5 years. The environment I was in growing up didn't teach me this foundational concept because they didn't hav...

This came from some a scripture I was reading in Isiah 1 this morning. I realized how God had been so honest with them about who he was but they had completely forsaken him and the results of that were devestating. It got me reflecting on how the people I choose to bond with impacted my life and my confidence in my relationship with God. How are the people you are chosing to bond with impacting yo...

This was a thought that crossed my mind when I was debating on starting another social media account. I don't want to ever lose sight of my priorities and at the same time need to have another platform I can use to reach more people with the things the Lord has reached me with. Today I want to talk about how the outcome of our lives is our responsibilty to evaluate if your not happy with your life...

In todays episode I talk about how God uses the parts we hide from him in out heart to bring about the birth of revelation and wisdom. Who doesn't want that? I also discuss the main emotions of guilt, shame, fear, anxiety and how they can be used for us and not against us like they normally are... All this and more!!! Real and Ideal (Integrating God's grace into your life). This is something...

Boundaries!  What perspective are we looking through them today? They are fences with gates that allow the good and bad to come out. This is something that I have only began to implement into my life the last 5 years. The environment I was in growing up didn't teach me this foundational concept because they didn't have them either. We cannot teach what we don't have within ourselves first. I...

What a task right? It can seem overwhelming but only when we are not taking full responsibility for the brokeness inside ourselves. Listen to this podcast as I break down what I mean by that and how the whole bonding thing plays a role in our ability to do this. Bonding! You maybe thinking, “What? Why are we talking about his on here? I can function without having to bond with people...I have made...

This is the ultimate expression and maturity: You ability to face yourself and have self control by taking full responsibility for your good and bad parts. Here is an example of how Im doing this in my own life.  Maturity! This is a topic that has been on my mind for a long time because for so many years I had thought I was mature but was still operating in a parent/child dynamic with other adults...

How has God's grace penetrated your life? Do you have areas of shame in you life that need to be uncovered?

I was asking a question today... How am I going to try and tie this all in with what we have been disussing the last 2 days... I asked the Lord, talked to my husband about it and between the 3 of us... This is what came to mind. Thank you for taking time to listen to this episode!

Bonding: An emotional attachment to another person. If we are to bond with someone. that means we have to be vulnerable. We are vulnerable when we are honest with each other about our whole selves and not just the parts of ourselves we feel strong: We gotta be willing to expose our whole self, weaknesses and all, so we can mutually encourage each other. Where you are weak, I am strong and where I...

This was not an easy  topic to discuss today because this is the first time in my life I'm trying to unpack something that I'm only just beginning to understand. I hope this conversation at least provokes a different perspective within yourselt that will come from a place of love and grace you have received from the Lord. If you have yet to receive this grace, I completely undetstand because...

This is something Im currently learning in my life right now! I hope and pray this episode encourages and inspires you to receive the grace God has for you in its various forms.

We are talking about a topic that has been foundational for me. I had never learned to establsih myself from others because I was taught to die to myself and pay attention to the needs of others. My world was centered around others and not rooted in self control. God is our example of setting boundaries because He does it all through out his word. We need to learn to establish our self the same wa...

I'm picking up where I left off on the episode I did talking about fear of the Lord and maturity. What fear are you living under as a result of the knowledge that is available to you? How is your relationship with the Lord being impacted by the fear you are living in? Are you bonding with God on a deeper level as a result of fearing him? In this episode I share how I use to live in a fear that kep...

This was an unexpected episode but I think a necessary one! It encouraged me and I believe you too will be encouraged. My husband had done a sermon on this and it opened my mind to what I believe about fear and how it has translated in my relationship with God. What is your definition of fear? How is that impacting your relatinship with the Lord and the wisdom that we have access too? All this and...

I don't know about you but I have areas in my life I want to grow in and at the same time I have no idea how to get there! Thank God for people who have gone before me that have faced similar problems and are willing to share the thought process they used that got them to a better outcome in life. We all have a function and need confidence as well as others for the gifts, talents and perspectives...

Do you have any of these false motives that keep you from setting boundaries? I had many of them for a long time and didn't see how it was hindering my life.
