This was such an encouraging conversation with Asheritah Ciuciu about joy, delight, and the ways God restores our hearts when spiritual disciplines feel like a burden.

Asheritah shares her story of growing up as a missionary kid in Romania, how her name—“God is my happiness”—has shaped her identity, and the journey from legalistic quiet time to a life of prayer, delight, and joy. We explore the importance of community in spiritual growth, the gift of ordinary moments, and practical ways to find restoration when faith feels heavy.

We talk about:

✨ How names and identity influence our relationship with God✨ Rediscovering joy in spiritual disciplines✨ Why community is essential for encouragement and restoration✨ Seeing God at work in everyday life and ordinary moments✨ Moving from duty to delight in prayer, scripture, and worship✨ Finding joy after dark seasons or spiritual burnout✨ How homeschooling and family rhythms can shape spiritual formation

Whether you’re parenting, homeschooling, or simply seeking a deeper, more joyful connection with God, this episode invites you to experience restoration, delight, and His presence in the everyday.
