From Failure to Faith: What Peter's Story Teaches Us About Following Jesus

Peter wasn't the obvious choice to become one of Jesus' closest disciples. He was impulsive, fearful, quick to speak, and even denied knowing Jesus in His darkest hour. Yet God didn't define Peter by his failures—He transformed him through grace. In this episode of Miracles in the Madness, we're walking through Peter's incredible journey and discovering what his story teaches us about our own faith. If you've ever wondered whether God can still use you after you've failed, struggled, doubted, or felt inadequate, this episode is for you. No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, Peter's story is a powerful reminder that your past doesn't disqualify you from God's purpose. Jesus isn't looking for perfection—He's looking for willing hearts that trust Him one step at a time. Scripture Featured: Matthew 4, Matthew 14, Luke 22, John 21, Acts 2, and other passages from Peter's life.

The Missing Piece in Your Healing Journey: Faith, Trauma & Functional Health with Brooke Rozzie

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating healthier, taking the supplements, exercising, praying—and still don't feel well? In this powerful conversation, Ashton sits down with functional nutrition practitioner and pastoral counselor Brooke Rozzie, founder of Faithfully Nourished, to explore the connection between faith, trauma, hormones, gut health, and true biblical healing. After years of struggling with hypothyroidism herself, Brooke discovered that healing wasn't just about finding the right supplement or diet—it required addressing the heart, renewing the mind, and understanding how God designed our bodies to function together. Together, Ashton and Brooke discuss: Why healing is about more than symptom management The connection between trauma, chronic illness, and the nervous system Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism, hormones, and functional nutrition What the Bible says about caring for our bodies Why shame and guilt often keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns How renewing your mind (Romans 12:2) impacts your physical health Raising children who understand biblical stewardship instead of diet culture Finding freedom from perfectionism around food and exercise How to pursue health without making it your identity Whether you've been struggling with chronic illness, thyroid disease, hormonal imbalances, burnout, anxiety, or simply want to steward your health in a way that honors God, this episode offers biblical encouragement and practical wisdom that points back to Christ. God created your body with incredible purpose. Healing isn't just about feeling better—it's about becoming free to serve Him more fully.

When Life Doesn't Go as Planned: Finding God in the Unexpected

What do you do when life doesn't go according to plan? This week on Miracles in the Madness, I'm recording from the middle of an unexpected power outage after spending the night at my mother-in-law's house because our home still doesn't have electricity. While it would have been easy to focus on the inconvenience, God used this experience to remind me of something far more important. In this episode, we're talking about the power of reframing our circumstances, practicing gratitude for the simple gifts we often take for granted, and learning to trust God's provision when life feels uncertain. We'll explore how unexpected interruptions can become invitations to slow down, recognize God's faithfulness, and discover that some of life's greatest blessings are found in community, hospitality, and His constant presence. If you're walking through a difficult season, facing unexpected changes, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's disruptions, I pray this conversation encourages you to shift your perspective and remember that God is still working—even when your plans fall apart. In this episode, you'll discover: How reframing your circumstances can transform your perspective Why practicing gratitude changes the way we experience hardship Biblical encouragement for trusting God instead of trying to control every situation The importance of community and allowing others to care for us during difficult seasons Practical ways to recognize God's faithfulness in everyday moments No matter what unexpected challenge you're facing today, God is present, He is providing, and He is still writing your story.

Have you ever felt like God called you to something... and then the waiting became harder than you ever imagined? In this powerful Season 4 premiere of Miracles in the Madness, Ashton sits down with author, speaker, podcaster, and adoption advocate Marcy Bursac to talk about faith, obedience, Christian motherhood, foster care, adoption, and trusting God when life doesn't go according to plan.

Together, Ashton and Marcy discuss what it means to trust God when you can't see the outcome, how faith sustains us in long seasons of waiting, the importance of Christian community, and why obedience often begins with simply taking the next step.
