In Chapter 6 of Cradled in Hope , “For He is Good: When You Question Who God Is,” she unpacks the emotional, theological, and spiritual wrestlings that come when prayers go unanswered—and babies die. To help grieving hearts rebuild trust in God’s character, Ashley shares five biblical attributes that anchor our faith in who God is, even in the most devastating times of life. This chapter is structured around these five truths as pillars of hope for moms who are asking, “If God is good, why did this happen?” With honesty, compassion, and Scripture, Ashley reminds us that God’s goodness is not changed by our circumstances—but by His unchanging character. The 5 Key Attributes of God that Ashley explores in the chapter: God is Good – He is blameless, loving, and kind. God is Sovereign – He is in control, even when our lives feel like chaos. God is Just – He is fair and righteous, and will make all things right one day. God is Faithful – He keeps His promises and never leaves us. God is Immutable (Unchanging) – His character never changes. He is constant and secure. Ashley acknowledges how grief can shake our faith and make us question everything we thought we knew about God. But rather than hiding from the hard questions, she invites us to bring them into the light. Through Scripture and personal experience, she guides listeners back to the firm foundation of who God is, even in the midst of their heartbreak. GET THE BOOK!
