RV Winterization: What Improper Preparation Can Really Cost You

Being Catholic

  • Knowledge and Wisdom

    Knowledge fills the mind. Only God fills the soul. Ron Ash draws on his own journey — from a frustrated college graduate to a thriving business owner — to explore the vital distinction between knowledge and wisdom, why Christ taught in parables, and why studying the Word with a clean slate is the most important thing any of us can do.
  • Changing Our Course

    We are where we are because of the choices we have made. The empowering flip side of that truth is this: new choices can take us somewhere entirely new. Ron Ash offers a practical, spiritually grounded guide to changing course — complete with gratitude inventories, the whirlpool principle, affirmations rooted in the divine Name, and Scripture to set your life’s river flowing in the direction God always intended.
  • Get Our Hopes Up

    We’ve spent our whole lives being told not to get our hopes up. Ron Ash turns that advice on its head — drawing on Scripture, the CCC, and the wisdom of experience to show why hope is not a vulnerability but a virtue, why failure is not the end but the lesson, and why the seed of our future can only be released when we stop protecting ourselves from the very experiences that will make us whole.
  • The Tip of the Wave

    We are all standing at the tip of the wave — the question is whether we’ll ride it all the way to shore. Ron Ash explores how fear, impatience, and the illusion of security cause us to abandon the very blessings God has set in motion, and why faith — fearless, grateful, and fully present — is the only thing that determines how far the wave will take us.
  • Letting Go

    Holding on to bitterness and the desire for revenge doesn’t hurt the other person — it consumes you. Ron Ash explores why letting go is not weakness but spiritual liberation, drawing on Scripture, the CCC, and the transformative power of empathy and forgiveness to show us the path back to peace, freedom, and love.
  • We are what we do, not what we used to

    Too many of us are anchored to who we used to be — our old failures, our past successes, our regrets. But God is not defined by your yesterday, and neither are you. Drawing on Scripture and the Catechism, Ron Ash shows how to break free from the victim stance, rediscover your God-given passion, and get back in alignment with the life you were created to live.
  • Power Praying

    Prayer is not passive wishing — it is an active, specific, faith-filled covenant with God. Drawing on Scripture, the CCC, and personal experience, Ron Ash lays out three essential principles of power praying that can transform the way you communicate with God and accelerate the manifestation of His blessings in your life.
  • Nightmare Machine

    Fear has been the enemy of faith for centuries — not by accident, but by design. Ron Ash traces the history of how spiritual truth was suppressed, how giving was corrupted, and how the nightmare machine of fear-based religion still operates today. But the Truth, as Jesus promised, always has the final word.
  • When Prayers Manifest

    Prayers are not always paid out in one lump sum — sometimes God answers in installments. Ron Ash shares a remarkable true story of divine providence that unfolded through a spontaneous visit to Barnes & Noble, a photograph taken in faith, and a letter waiting in the mailbox that changed everything.
  • Paper Chase

    What would today’s Church do if Jesus walked through the door? Ron Ash explores the dangerous drift toward credentialism, ego, and the admiration of man — and why no degree, ordination, or certification can replace the irrevocable gift that God has already placed within you.
  • Who We Are

    Who are we, really? Not our past mistakes, our regrets, or other people’s opinions of us. Ron Ash draws on personal stories of transformation, pastoral insight, Scripture, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church to explore how we discover our true identity — as souls created in the image of God, called to become everything He made us to be.
  • More Time

    An old woman in an antique shop once told Ron Ash: "We always think we have more time than we do." Years later, grieving the loss of his closest friend, those words echo with new weight. This deeply personal reflection weaves together Scripture, the CCC, and lived experience to explore angelic visitations, the communion of saints, and the irreplaceable gift of the present moment.
