• S3:E31 - When you dismiss the obedience, you miss the miracle 31.05.2026 42мин

  In this episode of the Armed and Anointed Podcast, Ashley discussed Jesus' first miracle of turning water into wine, exploring the deeper spiritual lessons it contains. Ashley explained that the miracle demonstrates how God wants to provide for needs beyond what appears necessary, emphasizing that faith and obedience are essential components for receiving miracles. She highlighted how Mary's faith and obedience to do whatever Jesus told the servants to do was crucial to the miracle's occurrence. Ashley shared her personal experience of how God asked her to put down a successful network marketing business, which initially made no sense but later led to greater blessings when she restarted in a new way. She emphasized that sometimes God asks for "water" (obedience to difficult steps) before providing the desired "wine" (blessing), and that willingness to make multiple trips to the well without understanding the full timeline is essential for receiving God's blessings.CONNECT WITH ME...→ Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@armedandanointed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ Partner with me in Arbonne - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ashleyrussell.arbonne.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ Looking for faith based life and business coaching?

  In this episode, Ashley discussed how loyalty can prevent people from following God's will, sharing her personal experiences with this struggle.

Ashley described how she had to make difficult decisions, including stepping away from her successful network marketing business despite the guilt and potential repercussions with team members.

• S3:E29 - Feeling out of place comes before feeling aligned 25.05.2026 24мин

  In this episode of the Armed and Anointed Podcast, Ashley Russell discussed her personal experience of feeling out of alignment and out of place as she transitions to a new season in her life. She shared how she had a difficult day when people she used to be close with in her day-to-day life began to distance themselves, creating a sense of loneliness despite having supportive people who understand her current identity. Ashley explained that this feeling of disconnection is natural during life transitions, particularly when moving from one season to another, and emphasized the importance of sitting with these emotions rather than avoiding them. She discussed how God meets people in their pain and encourages them to continue following His path even when it's uncomfortable, highlighting that feeling out of place is often a necessary step before achieving true alignment with God's plan.

• S3:E28 - Resistance doesn't mean it's wrong, it means you're moving 09.05.2026 32мин

  In this episode of the Armed and Anointed Podcast, Ashley discusses the concept that resistance doesn't mean something is wrong, but rather indicates movement toward one's calling. She explored several key points about navigating resistance, including how starting something new always feels unstable, movement can be threatening to both people around us and in the spiritual realm, discomfort is a natural part of following a calling, and resistance feels stronger when we haven't surrendered to God's plan. Ashley emphasized the importance of surrendering to God's guidance rather than trying to control everything ourselves, and discussed how covering our calling through prayer removes unnecessary resistance. She shared personal experiences from her own journey of starting a podcast and business, including periods of uncertainty and loss before experiencing growth.CONNECT WITH ME...→ Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@armedandanointed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ Partner with me in Arbonne - ⁠⁠⁠⁠ashleyrussell.arbonne.com⁠⁠⁠⁠→ Looking for faith based life and business coaching?

• S3:E27 - Marked by God with Jay Robinson 06.05.2026 56мин

  Ashley welcomed Jay Robinson (@1jayyrobinson on Instagram) to the Armed and Anointed podcast, where Jay shared his inspiring journey from a young music producer to finding his purpose in serving God. Jay described how he grew up in a Christian household but struggled with balancing his musical ambitions with his faith, particularly after receiving a promising opportunity from Def Jam at age 16 that his parents discouraged.

The conversation explored themes of spiritual authority, generational faith, and the challenges of stepping away from a built life to follow God's purpose. Jay emphasized that while God's gifts are irrevocable, true fulfillment comes from using them in alignment with one's divine purpose rather than pursuing worldly success independently of God's will.CONNECT WITH ME...→ Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@armedandanointed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ Partner with me in Arbonne - ⁠⁠⁠ashleyrussell.arbonne.com⁠⁠⁠→ Looking for faith based life and business coaching?
