Join me, Megan Ashley, as I explore the profound and often overlooked theme of enduring suffering while maintaining faith. In this heartfelt solo episode of In Totality, I share my concerns about the American Christian focus on prosperity and self-gain, frequently overshadowing the true essence of our relationship with God. Inspired by a powerful scene from "Freud's Last Session," which features a fictional dialogue between CS Lewis and Sigmund Freud, I reflect on how we can navigate hardships without losing our faith.




We dive into the profound scriptural teachings from Romans 5:3-5 and Isaiah 55:11, exploring how suffering can cultivate endurance, character, and hope. By focusing on God’s unchanging nature and eternal promises, we find strength to endure our trials, trusting that all things work for our good and His glory. You'll discover that despite hardships, God’s presence remains constant, providing us with the love and encouragement we need.

EP 30: Stay Encouraged. Stay Engaged

Join me Megan Ashley and Preston Perry poet, author, teacher, apologist and evangelist from Chicago. By the grace of God, Preston has become a formidable communicator of the gospel. His love for people inspires him to pair transparency and vulnerability with his creativity in a way that promotes freedom. 




The fabric of modern faith is complex, and we're unraveling it thread by thread. We tackle the state of the church and its societal implications, the indispensable role of discipleship, and the nuanced challenges of apologetics within the black community. Join us as we dissect the balance between wrath and love in understanding God, and how our struggles can fortify hope and endurance. Preston's personal anecdotes and theological musings promise to illuminate and challenge your perspectives.




In this episode, we're not just talking about faith—we're experiencing its transformative power. Preston's upcoming book, "How to Tell the Truth: The Story of How God Saved Me to Win Hearts--Not Just Arguments," is a testament to the universal call of discipleship across cultures. Be inspired by tales of growth and authenticity in one's faith journey, and remember, these stories are about winning hearts, not just arguments. Thank you for being with us; now let the power of this conversation resonate in your own spiritual walk.

EP 27: Unwavering Faith Pt 1 (Ft. Jackie Hill Perry)

Join me Megan Ashley where today's journey takes a spiritual turn as my big brother, Pastor Preston Morrison, joins me for a heart-to-heart. Preston, a dedicated follower of Christ and pastor of Pillar Church in Arizona, shares his profound insights on faith and leadership. Our conversation starts with a unique touch—a prayer led by Preston—setting the stage for a transformative experience. As we navigate topics ranging from the intersection of faith and daily life to the profound impact of embracing discipline and suffering, Preston's wisdom from his podcast, the Leader's Cut, deeply enriches our discussion.




Listen in as we explore the concept of "hiding seasons," reflecting on the times when solitude paves the way for growth and preparation for one's calling. We share personal anecdotes, mine being my intimate journey with scripture and the anticipation of family growth, while discussing the role of hardships and testing in the development of spiritual maturity. Preston's perspective on how 2025 could mark a significant time for the global church sparks an intriguing contemplation on readiness and devotion. We also delve into the challenges of finding a Bible-based church community and the transformative power of grace in overcoming the fear of failure.
