In this episode, Ashley from Rooted Collective opens up about what it truly means to have a whole, healed heart—and how Jesus gently walks with us through the process.

Through raw, personal stories (including one powerful moment singing Rihanna during worship ) and tender insights into grief, trauma, and surrender, Ashley shares how heart healing isn’t just a spiritual buzzword—it’s the deep work of letting go of lies, shame, and fear, and learning to live fully loved.

We talk about:
• Listening to the Holy Spirit when it doesn't make sense
• How grief and healing can happen in unexpected moments
• Why receiving Jesus’ love is sometimes harder than giving Him your life
• The power of surrender and giving Jesus your yes
• Letting go of control and inviting Him into the deepest places
• How trauma and autopilot thinking affect our heart
• Why living fully alive means feeling the full range of emotion

Whether you're feeling stuck, numb, or just know there’s more freedom available—this episode is a safe, encouraging space to explore what healing with Jesus really looks like.

How to Handle Sin in the Church?? | Rooted Collective Podcast

Hey fam, let's talk about it— the topic of sin in the church. In this raw and honest episode, we ask big questions:
-Should church leaders sit down if they sin?
-How do we respond with grace and uphold integrity?
-What does love-driven restoration actually look like?

Have you been hurt in the church or seen things handled in a way that didn't seem right or like the heart of God? We're about to go all in and explore all of it, and we pray it restores your heart as you listen.

We dive deep into Scripture — from 1 Timothy 3:2–7 to the story in 1 Corinthians 5 — and explore perspectives that may surprise you. Whether you’ve been hurt by church, wrestled with legalism, or just want to know how we walk out holiness with compassion, this conversation is for you.
