In this episode of the Armed and Anointed podcast, Ashley discusses the topic of grieving while growing spiritually without going back to previous ways of living. She shared her personal experiences of feeling called to change directions in her business and life, including the spiritual warfare and grief that accompanied these changes. Ashley emphasized that following God's calling requires moving by faith in what is unseen rather than relying on what is visible and logical to others. She referenced Hebrews 11:8 about Abraham's faith journey and explained that calling is just the first step in a process that includes faith, obedience, character building, and eventually fruit. Ashley encouraged listeners to identify what needs to be packed or left behind when feeling called to a new direction, to recognize that grief is natural during this transition, and to resist looking back or returning to previous ways despite the discomfort. She stressed that God provides guidance and holds us by the hand through the process, and that the promised land or calling is worth the temporary wilderness journey.CONNECT WITH ME...→ Instagram - @armedandanointed→ Partner with me in Arbonne - Legacy Collective x Arbonne - Legacy Collective→ Looking for faith based life and business coaching?

In this episode of the Armed and Anointed Podcast, Ashley discussed Jesus' first miracle of turning water into wine, exploring the deeper spiritual lessons it contains. Ashley explained that the miracle demonstrates how God wants to provide for needs beyond what appears necessary, emphasizing that faith and obedience are essential components for receiving miracles. She highlighted how Mary's faith and obedience to do whatever Jesus told the servants to do was crucial to the miracle's occurrence. Ashley shared her personal experience of how God asked her to put down a successful network marketing business, which initially made no sense but later led to greater blessings when she restarted in a new way. She emphasized that sometimes God asks for "water" (obedience to difficult steps) before providing the desired "wine" (blessing), and that willingness to make multiple trips to the well without understanding the full timeline is essential for receiving God's blessings.CONNECT WITH ME...→ Instagram - @armedandanointed→ Partner with me in Arbonne - ashleyrussell.arbonne.com→ Looking for faith based life and business coaching?

In this episode, Ashley discussed how loyalty can prevent people from following God's will, sharing her personal experiences with this struggle. She explained that loyalty from a place of fear or wounds can mask disalignment with God's plan, using the example of Abraham leaving his home without knowing where he was going by faith. Ashley described how she had to make difficult decisions, including stepping away from her successful network marketing business despite the guilt and potential repercussions with team members. She emphasized the importance of being loyal to God's calling rather than staying committed to circumstances, environments, or people that no longer align with one's spiritual path. Ashley encouraged listeners to examine what they might be loyal to that keeps them out of God's will and to focus on holding tightly to God's vision while remaining flexible with the plan of how it unfolds.CONNECT WITH ME...→ Instagram - @armedandanointed→ Partner with me in Arbonne - ashleyrussell.arbonne.com→ Looking for faith based life and business coaching?

In this episode of the Armed and Anointed Podcast, Ashley Russell discussed her personal experience of feeling out of alignment and out of place as she transitions to a new season in her life. She shared how she had a difficult day when people she used to be close with in her day-to-day life began to distance themselves, creating a sense of loneliness despite having supportive people who understand her current identity. Ashley explained that this feeling of disconnection is natural during life transitions, particularly when moving from one season to another, and emphasized the importance of sitting with these emotions rather than avoiding them. She discussed how God meets people in their pain and encourages them to continue following His path even when it's uncomfortable, highlighting that feeling out of place is often a necessary step before achieving true alignment with God's plan. Ashley also shared insights about the Greek words for spirit and soul, explaining how aligning with God requires renewing one's mind and emotions to be in harmony with the divine.CONNECT WITH ME...→ Instagram - @armedandanointed→ Partner with me in Arbonne - ashleyrussell.arbonne.com→ Looking for faith based life and business coaching?

In this episode of the Armed and Anointed Podcast, Ashley discusses the concept that resistance doesn't mean something is wrong, but rather indicates movement toward one's calling. She explored several key points about navigating resistance, including how starting something new always feels unstable, movement can be threatening to both people around us and in the spiritual realm, discomfort is a natural part of following a calling, and resistance feels stronger when we haven't surrendered to God's plan. Ashley emphasized the importance of surrendering to God's guidance rather than trying to control everything ourselves, and discussed how covering our calling through prayer removes unnecessary resistance. She shared personal experiences from her own journey of starting a podcast and business, including periods of uncertainty and loss before experiencing growth.CONNECT WITH ME...→ Instagram - @armedandanointed→ Partner with me in Arbonne - ashleyrussell.arbonne.com→ Looking for faith based life and business coaching?

Ashley welcomed Jay Robinson (@1jayyrobinson on Instagram) to the Armed and Anointed podcast, where Jay shared his inspiring journey from a young music producer to finding his purpose in serving God. Jay described how he grew up in a Christian household but struggled with balancing his musical ambitions with his faith, particularly after receiving a promising opportunity from Def Jam at age 16 that his parents discouraged. He detailed a pivotal moment in July 2020 when he experienced a spiritual deliverance during a family intervention that led him to fully surrender his musical career to follow God's calling. The conversation explored themes of spiritual authority, generational faith, and the challenges of stepping away from a built life to follow God's purpose. Jay emphasized that while God's gifts are irrevocable, true fulfillment comes from using them in alignment with one's divine purpose rather than pursuing worldly success independently of God's will.CONNECT WITH ME...→ Instagram - @armedandanointed→ Partner with me in Arbonne - ashleyrussell.arbonne.com→ Looking for faith based life and business coaching?

In this episode of the Armed and Anointed podcast, Ashley discusses how to recognize and respond to God's calling in one's life. She explained that calling isn't always about clear direction but can also manifest as desire, disruption, or dissatisfaction. Ashley emphasized the importance of obedience in following God's call, sharing personal examples of how small acts of obedience led to meaningful experiences. She discussed the cost of answering God's call, which often requires letting go of comfort and familiar circumstances. Ashley stressed that true freedom comes from aligning with God's will rather than seeking approval from the world. The episode concluded with practical steps for those feeling called, including identifying current disruptions or desires, making small changes in daily life, and being willing to let go of relationships or activities that no longer serve one's spiritual growth.CONNECT WITH ME...→ Instagram - @armedandanointed→ Partner with me in Arbonne - ashleyrussell.arbonne.com→ Looking for faith based life and business coaching?

In this episode, Ashley discusses the concept of "Your Process Becomes Your Authority." She shared her personal experience of going through a refining period and how sharing her process openly on social media helped establish her authority without needing to appear perfect. Ashley emphasized that vulnerability without victim mentality is key, and that people resonate more with authentic processes than with shallow authority. She explained how sharing personal experiences and thought processes can help connect with an audience on a deeper level, using examples from her own journey and from other content creators. Ashley stressed that organic authority comes from lived experience and sharing the messy middle parts of one's journey, rather than trying to present a perfect image.CONNECT WITH ME...→ Instagram - @armedandanointed→ Partner with me in Arbonne - ashleyrussell.arbonne.com→ Looking for faith based life and business coaching?
