What began as a one-time Bible study in the Morgan County Jail became a 13-year calling. In this heartfelt conversation, Ashley shares how God transformed her expectations—and her ministry—through weekly encounters with incarcerated women in Decatur, Alabama. You’ll hear stories of redemption, resilience, and raw faith—including one inmate named Maria, whose simple act of sharing scripture from a baggie touched guards and inmates alike. Don’t miss The Maria Challenge—a call to action for every listener to carry the Word of God and offer hope, one verse at a time. www.lessthantheleast.org
When Matt Friedman invited Ashley to join him on his podcast, she was genuinely excited--for two reasons. First, her close friend Anna had spoken very highly of him. Second, Ashley knew Matt shared her passion for jail and prison ministry.
In the episode, Ashley opens up about how she got started in jail ministry, the unexpected lessons she’s learned along the way, and what continues to fuel her calling. She also offers challenge to churches everywhere: to go and be the hands and feet of Jesus. I had the privilege of sitting down with the team at Piper Peach Radio Station to dive deep into the heart of why I am involved in Jail Ministry. Whether you’re familiar with prison outreach or just curious about how compassion can break down barriers, this episode offers an honest look at why Jail Ministry matters—not only for those we serve, but for all of us striving to build a more empathetic world.

It was an honor to serve as Emcee for the Neighborhood Christian Center's 30th Anniversary Celebration. I was also grateful for the opportunity to share how I started in jail ministry — how what began as a one-time visit became a lifelong calling, and how God continues to write the story.

At the Neighborhood Christian Center’s 30th Anniversary Celebration, I had the privilege of sharing about the theme of the night: Be the Light. We are called to shine in a world that desperately needs hope. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16, "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." May we all be a light that reflects Jesus to others.
