Unscripted Conversations – Episode 3
Podcast Host: Ashley Finch | SimplyBlessedDesignz
Hey sweet friends —
When the Storm Hits — we all feel it at some point. Life shifts fast, and suddenly we’re standing in the middle of something we never saw coming. In Episode 3 of Unscripted Conversations, I’m diving deep into those messy moments and sharing how God still works when everything feels like it’s falling apart.
This week, I’m sharing my heart on what it feels like to go through life’s storms — the kind that come out of nowhere and leave you feeling shaken. Just like a sudden summer storm in the garden can flatten your corn or flood your beds, life can send things our way that knock the breath out of us. But here’s the good news: even when it feels like everything is falling apart… God is still in control.

ok i just have to say, episode 3, wow!!!! i was reflecting on every word and as i was i realized that i am in blooming season. life was hard financially, for many years and over time that storn dissipated. i now have a wonder husband, a great job, and the struggle is gone. and i know god was a part of my meeting an amazing friend who has just reminded me of this. lord thank you for all that you do!
He is so GOOD!!
Just what I needed. I will listen to this again and be sure I have my journal. I didn’t even think to get it. I’m sitting on my bed in the dark soaking in every word. I’m behind (nothing new) and want to catch up this week. I am in a place that I didn’t know about until yesterday. Mistakes people have made and I have to make clean up. I’m praying that what I do or say will bring Glory to God and a peace to my heart to do what I have to. I’m feeling very low right now and my strength comes from the Lord.
Thank you for the obedience to do these podcasts. Lots of love.
I will add you to my prayer jar and you keep talking to HIM! He has you!
ok so why havent i seen or felt god growing up. have i been that blind to not seeing that he has been with me. i felt so alone grewing up even thought i went to church weekly and as an adult my eyes are opening. reflecting back i could have given up and just quit but i am still here. i was so low that i didnt see that my blessings were right there. God show me you are here right now. i need you so much.
