Hi everyone! I'm Ashley Clarkson, a New York native from the suburbs of Long Island, currently residing in Texas.

Reflecting on my life journey from then till now, I've come to realize the constant covering over me—provided not just by my parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins but also by the Lord Himself. Little did I know that the path I'm on today, running a podcast, creating journals, and being unabashedly sold out for God, would unfold. The journey to becoming the Ashley I am today truly began a little over two years ago when I cried out to Jesus, saying, "I can't do this by myself; I don't want to do this by myself. I need you." This led to a podcast named "Asking Mary Jane.”As of August 2024 my podcast name has changed to Dear.YHWH because it has now evolved into a space where faith, encouragement, and motivation converge. January 2024 I gave birth to Crystal Clear Faith LLC. It's more than just a business—it's a testament to the transformative power of God's grace.

With this company my hope is to provide you a place where you can learn how to grow closer to God, reestablish a relationship with Him, and find the tools & encouragement that can help you along the way. I am standing on Kingdom business. Ultimately I hope to have many of you to be apart of mission work, go on retreats, and do outreach for those who are in need.

For those unfamiliar with my story of Crazy Faith here’s a quick Storytime. I've always known of Jesus, but my understanding and relationship with Him deepened in ways I couldn't have imagined. In late 2021, I was inspired to start a podcast just before I faced one of the most challenging periods of my life. God's grace transformed the podcast into a haven for His children and a bridge for non-believers to encounter the profound Truths of His love for us all. Turning 30, dealing with anxiety, paranoia, and feeling trapped, I embarked on a journey that, at times, felt like I was losing my mind.

Yet, in the midst of this turmoil, God had a bigger plan—something I like to call my "New Life Journey." He gave me a second chance at living, this time living to give Him all the glory and honor. My podcast became a vessel for His message of hope and redemption, and the journey He took me on proved to be the best one yet. Since then I have created a children’s Bible study journal, a women’s prayer journal, and started a candle line that will be available soon. However the Lord intends to use me I am willing to do.

I truly think had I not been obedient to His voice or to the Holy Spirit’s nudging to seek God’s face, none of this would be possible right now. You can learn more about my journey by checking out my testimony by via my YouTube channel Crystal Clear Faith & also by listening to Dear.YHWH podcast on all platforms. (Early episodes still have the Asking Mary Jane intro just FYI).

"But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive."

- Genesis 50:20 (NKJV)
