Well, welcome to another Ask Me Anything episode here. My name is Ashtraina. I'm the host of the

Prows of Press podcast. And man, it's been such a joy this past year, especially as I've been

traveling to different speaking events and women's retreats and conferences

to meet so many of you who are listening to the podcast. I love being able to put faces

and voices with names and just love those conversations, whether we're at the table and I'm

signing books or just praying with listeners. It's just, it's been

such a joy. And oftentimes I get questions that are just such great questions. And because the

Prows of Rest podcast is meant to be more of a guided prayer, I don't really have space to do a

whole lot of teaching here on the podcast. So these

Ask Me Anything episodes are kind of an opportunity for me to share the answers that I

share with people when I meet them in real life at these events and a way that hopefully

you'll be encouraged that whatever you're struggling with, whatever your question is, you're not

the only one. Like other people are having these struggles and these questions as well.

And I also want to say like this isn't the authoritative, like only way to answer this question.

I'm really just responding based on my own walk with Jesus over the years and my own study of his word over like three

decades now of being with him. So definitely like I would love to hear your thoughts in response

to my responses and have a conversation around that. The best place to do that would probably

be our Patreon community. We have people who

join us every month to support this podcast, and we also have great conversations there as well.

We'll have a link to the show notes to share how you can join in that. But also, if you have a

question, feel free to write that in. You can email it or you can leave a voice message.

We'll have links for how you can do that because I love responding to questions.
