"The lost coin doesn't know it's lost." These powerful words from Drew Frazier capture the essence of a marriage story that will leave you breathless. After 16 years together, Drew and Ashley share with raw vulnerability how their seemingly perfect relationship was built on shifting sand—until God orchestrated a complete renovation through surrender.
Drew grew up in a pastor's home, well-versed in making everything appear fine on the surface while hiding struggles beneath. When he carried habitual sin into his marriage, the cracks were inevitable. Meanwhile, Ashley had unknowingly placed her husband where only Jesus should be, finding her identity and worth primarily in their relationship rather than Christ. This dangerous imbalance set the stage for devastation when Drew's hidden struggles escalated into patterns of infidelity during COVID isolation.
The turning point came with a desperate prayer and an unmistakable divine encounter. As Drew drove home one day, God spoke with remarkable clarity: "I want YOU." This profound moment of feeling truly wanted by his Creator initiated a series of events that can only be described as miraculous—a men's purity group starting that very week, trusted counselors appearing at precisely the right moment, and supernatural strength enabling both confession and forgiveness.
Ashley's journey through grief to restoration offers particular hope for anyone navigating betrayal. Her wisdom about properly grieving, seeking God's discernment, and looking for genuine "fruit of repentance" provides a roadmap for those wondering if healing is possible. The moment God prompted her to forgive "by faith" resulted in an immediate supernatural release as the blood of Jesus covered their situation.
Today, their marriage stands as living proof that nothing is beyond God's redemptive power when we're willing to surrender completely to His process. As Drew now ministers to youth and Ashley to children, their testimony continues transforming lives beyond their own family.
Have you found yourself wearing masks, hiding struggles, or placing relationships above God? Perhaps this is your invitation to experience the freedom that comes with complete surrender. Remember—sometimes the lost coin doesn't realize it's lost until the Finder begins His relentless pursuit.
