Ep. 13: Ashlin and Josiah
Ashlin and Josiah met and wrestled with what Christ wanted for them individually before joining them together in holy union. Their journey through self-worth, anxiety, depression, distance, breakups, and uncertainty of health is an intimate one we are blessed to witness. Ashlin and Josiah want you to know you are loved by God no matter where you are at in life, no matter what you have done, or are doing. He loves you.
Here is the intimate video Josiah filmed of Ashlin and her brother Bryan:

Type Fours At Their Best and At Their Worst
“When we know, trust, and believe we are Christ's beloved child, we will live more freely in his grace at the healthier levels. When we believe we are on our own, we move down the levels of development.
Healthy Fours
Healthy Fours are creative, emotionally honest, connected, and inspired by beauty. Healthy Fours know, believe, and trust that they are already Christ’s special and beloved child. Therefore, they do not need to strive to be unique in order to receive the unconditional love they long for. They realize that they are seen and loved 100% of the time because Christ secured this for them, and that they did nothing to deserve it. God simply loves them for exactly who they are.
Fours on Auto-Pilot
When Fours begin to forget that they are Christ’s beloved child (desired, pursued, seen for their unique qualities, and cherished), they begin to move into the average levels of development. Because the Four has begun to forget how much Christ loves them, they believe they to have to exaggerate their uniqueness to get the attention and affection from others. They begin to think that they are missing something fundamental that others have.
Unhealthy Fours
Problems begin to multiply when Fours think that others will appreciate their uniqueness and emotional depth in the same way they do. When a Four sees that others do not understand their unique style, they spiral down and feel misunderstood, defective, flawed, and alone. These feelings cause even more sadness. Becoming self-absorbed, temperamental, moody, feeling they are lacking, and missing something vital inside of them is common at this level. They begin to manipulate others by acting like or feeling they are the victim.”
