Welcome to Dear.YHWH! I'm Ashley Crystal, and I’m excited to share how this podcast evolved from Asking Mary Jane to Dear.YHWH. After a month of prayer and fasting, God called me to a fresh new name and start a new story, right in the middle of the chapter. Something I know so much about.

In this episode, I’ll talk about the spiritual battles and revelations during my 25-day fast, how it deepened my faith, and the importance of trusting God’s work in our lives. Whether you’re a long-time listener or new, this episode is about embracing your identity in Christ.

In this episode, we explore what it truly means to stand strong in our faith, even in the face of challenges and distractions. I'll be sharing personal stories, diving into timeless wisdom from the Bible, and offering practical insights to help us all deepen our connection with God. I also mention a few things that are occuring in todays society. Tune in. Also go grab my E-book "Walking with Christ: Embracing Faith for Holistic Well-being"
