Pastor Ashley continued the Defying Gravity series by challenging listeners to break free from the culture of “more” and make God the priority through intentional living and generosity. Using the story of early transatlantic flight, she contrasted failed attempts driven by excess and ego with Charles Lindbergh’s success, rooted in simplicity, focus, preparation, and intentionality. These same principles, she explained, shape faithful discipleship and stewardship. Drawing from Jesus’ parable of the rich fool, she urged mindful living oriented toward eternity rather than self. When our lives are designed around God’s priorities, generosity becomes reflexive, joyful, and life-giving.
