In part one, Jess sits down with Ashlee Assadi — wife, mom of five girls, artist, and writer whose words have now reached millions of people. But Ashlee's story doesn't start with a platform. It starts with a 21-year-old girl on her knees in tears, asking God if He's even real.
Ashlee shares the moment that changed everything — the loss of her best friend, a prayer prayed in desperation, and a series of encounters so specific and so perfectly timed that looking back, there's really only one explanation. A bubbly stranger in a salon chair. A cousin's invitation to a worship night. A pastor who paused mid-service and described exactly what she'd been through. And a room full of people who prayed over her — the night she gave her life to Jesus and never looked back.
We also hear about what happened on a mission trip to Mexico that permanently changed Ashlee's understanding of what God can do — including a moment straight out of the Gospel of John that she watched unfold right in front of her eyes.
And she closes with something for every mom, every person doing the quiet and unseen things — a reminder that God is in the small things. He sees them. And He works through them more than we know.
