Join B.Simone and Megan Ashley, along with our special guest Preacher and Host of “The Basement with Tim Ross” Podcast Tim Ross, we journey through the intricacies of relationships, the evolution of our convictions, and the strength that can be gleaned from our darkest moments.

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.

EP 25: Spiritual Discipline

Join me Megan Ashley on an extraordinary exploration with the amazing Brenda Palmer as we uncover the diverse manifestations of spiritual callings and the crucibles of faith. Brenda, who has navigated a remarkable journey from the pews of Chicago to the media studios of LA, sits down to share her transformative experiences, including the personal betrayals that reshaped her understanding of divine and human nature. Together, we delve into the essence of obedience, the trials of leadership, and the dance between human imperfection and the steadfastness of spiritual integrity.




The thread of our conversation weaves through the complexities of mentorship within spiritual communities, the courage needed to confront truths that challenge societal norms, and the emotional landscapes navigated when making life-altering decisions. Brenda's story of renouncing sorority ties in favor of a deeper faith journey stands as a testament to the power of conviction and the importance of supportive friendships along the path. Our heart-to-heart illuminates the sacrifices that accompany authentic living and the pursuit of a life that faithfully mirrors one's beliefs.
