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.

What does it really mean to connect deeply with Jesus?

In this episode, I share a wild and tender moment where Jesus literally walked into my room. Not a dream — a real encounter that changed everything.

Forget the distant version of Jesus.
He’s strong. Playful. Full of emotion. Eyes that look at you like you belong.

We’re diving into:
🌿 The garden — what it reveals about connection
🕊️ His Spirit in us — you’re already connected
💬 Real friendship with Jesus — not religion, just Him
🧠 Breaking the filters that say He’s far away

You were made for deep, raw, real relationship with Him.
You’re not alone. Not ever.

In this episode of Rooted, we’re talking all about the Holy Spirit—your real Best Friend.

You were never meant to do life (or faith) alone. The Holy Spirit is with you right now—comforting, guiding, and speaking even when you don’t feel it. We’re digging into what it means to actually connect with Him, how He gives us wisdom in the swirl, and why praying in the Spirit is one of the most powerful tools we have.

Whether you feel close to God or a little disconnected, this episode will meet you where you are and remind you: you are never alone.

We talk about:
• How to recognize the Holy Spirit’s voice
• The power of praying in the Spirit
• Why He’s your safest and truest Friend
• How He gives clarity and peace when nothing makes sense

Do you feel responsible for fixing people? Ever find yourself clinging, rescuing, or carrying the emotional weight of someone else’s journey? You’re not alone—and you were never meant to hold it all.

In this deeply vulnerable and spiritual episode, host Ashley and guest Mollie unpack what it means to release others to Jesus, stay connected to the Spirit as your source, and stop abandoning yourself in the name of love. With raw honesty, personal stories, and powerful Holy Spirit-led moments, we explore how control masquerades as care—and how true love looks a lot more like trust.

Here’s what we cover:

- Why your healing can’t depend on theirs

- Signs you’re trying to be someone’s savior

- How codependency shows up in Christian relationships (and why it's perpetuated by church culture)

- Reparenting with God and returning to overflow

- A vision of the Spirit as your lifeline—and your anchor

- A freeing prayer to release what’s not yours to carry

If you're tired of performing, rescuing, or disappearing in relationships—this episode will meet you right where you are.

Today on Walking Deeply with Jesus, Ashley is getting real about what it means to connect with God as a good Father. She shares a vision God gave her that helped heal a lot of old beliefs—and honestly, it might just hit home for you too. If you’ve ever felt distant from God, struggled with shame, or just wondered if you’re doing enough for Him, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about how to break free from fear and step into the real love and security God offers us.

In this episode:

• Healing our view of God as Father
• Learning to trust His heart for us
• Breaking out of shame, fear, and striving
• A prayer to open up your heart

Come hang out with us and be reminded that you are fully loved, seen, and safe with your Father.

This week on Walking Deeply with Jesus, host Ashley Hepperly is joined by Pastor Justin Phillips as they dive into the power of the resurrection—not just as an event, but as the life it calls us into.

Join us for a deep, raw, and honest conversation about what it really means to live on this side of the empty tomb. We talk about the tender heart of Jesus, the radical grace that meets us in our mess, and the kind of love that turns graves into gardens.

We unpack John 19:39, the spices used to bury Jesus, and the weight Mary was willing to carry at the tomb. We look at the disciples’ doubt, the shame we still carry, and the truth that Jesus still shows up—right in the middle of our hiding, fear, and unbelief—not with condemnation, but with a call: Get up.

If you've ever felt disqualified, stuck in guilt, or unsure of your place in the story—this episode is for you. Because resurrection life isn’t for the perfect. It’s for the willing. The weary. The ones ready to come out of hiding.

The grave was never the end. It's the beginning of something beautiful.

Stay to the end for a powerful prayer of resurrection hope and healing.

Hey friend—welcome to Walking Deeply with Jesus. I’m your host Ashley with Rooted Collective, and today we’re diving into something that might just shift your whole perspective on the cross… maybe even step on a few religious toes.

We’re talking about the blood of Jesus—not just as a ticket to heaven, but as the very source of healing, freedom, and wholeness right here and now. If you’ve grown up hearing about the cross as just a nice Easter story or a religious tradition, this episode might challenge you—in the best way.

We unpack what one drop of Jesus’ blood actually means for your everyday life, how communion is more than a ritual, and why trusting in His sacrifice over your own effort is the key to walking in true rest. From the garden to Golgotha, every part of His journey was intentionally for you.

Whether you’ve been walking with Jesus for years or just wrestling with what you believe, there’s room for you here.

Stick around ‘til the end—we’ll take communion together.
