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.
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.
Many of us find ourselves trapped in repeating circles — locked in cycles of fear, self-deception, and retreat that keep us from the life God promised us. Drawing on Scripture, the CCC, and a deeply personal story, Ron Ash explores what it truly takes to break the pattern and move forward with courage.
Sin is often a symptom, not the root cause. Drawing on years of pastoral counseling experience, Scripture, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, this reflection explores the underlying weaknesses that make us susceptible to sin — and what it truly takes to break free and live the life God promised.
If sin is a symptom, what is the disease? Ron Ash argues it is a deficiency of righteous character — and that sin is, at its root, always a choice. Drawing on Scripture, the Catechism, and personal insight, this reflection explores how our character shapes our choices, reveals our soul, and ultimately determines the life we build.
