Episode 221: Ashley Mohr - Your Past Is Your Qualifier

In this episode, I sit down with Ashley Mohr — speaker and creator of The Pillar Diaries — to talk about the power of testimony, authenticity in the church, and how God uses both the seen and unseen to build His kingdom. Ashley shares her powerful story of growing up in church, walking away from God for nearly a decade, and ultimately finding restoration through a life-changing encounter. She opens up about the misconception that we have to “be good enough” to serve God — and how she discovered that it’s actually God’s goodness that qualifies us. This conversation dives deep into: Why real, raw testimonies matter more than polished ones The unseen people who are truly building the church How your past doesn’t disqualify you — it prepares you The biblical foundation behind The Pillar Diaries How every believer can become a “pillar” in their generation The Pillar Diaries -    / @thepillardiaries5129   Extended show notes - https://hacka.org/2026/04/13/221-ashl... ------------ Chapters 00:00 – “Your Past Is Your Qualifier” 00:54 – Introduction to Ashley Mohr & The Pillar Diaries 02:59 – Growing Up in Pentecost & Walking Away 05:54 – The Turning Point: Returning to God 07:45 – Serving Without Feeling “Good Enough” 10:03 – The Birth of The Pillar Diaries 13:37 – The 5-Year Journey & Redefining “Pillars” 16:53 – The Power of Testimonies 20:18 – Everyone Has a “Jordan” 27:50 – Becoming a Pillar in Your Generation 36:29 – Final Word: Your Past Is Your Qualifier ------------ Order Hacka Merch - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://the-hacka-podcast.myspreadsho... ------------ Listen to all episodes: Apple Podcasts - https://apple.co/3PRSYKU Spotify - https://spoti.fi/3zCUsUo Follow us on social: Instagram -   / thehackapod   Facebook -   / hackaorg   TikTok -   / thehackapod   #christianpodcast #apostolicpentecostal #churchleader
