In Totality with Megan Ashley

In this week’s episode of In Totality, I’m back with my good friend, Preston Morrison, host of The Leader’s Cut podcast, for Part II of our conversation on walking the narrow path as a follower of Christ. If you thought Part I was powerful, you won’t want to miss this!

We’re diving even deeper into what it means to fully live a life that reflects Christ—no matter the cost. We’ll talk about the challenges that come with obedience, and practical ways to stay committed to God’s Word.

I hope this conversation encourages you to stay faithful, even when the journey feels challenging. Choosing God’s way leads to true purpose, peace, and life in Him.

If you’ve ever wrestled with what it looks like to live set apart, this episode is for you!

In this week’s episode of In Totality, I’m joined by a very special guest, host of The Leader's Cut podcast, Preston Morrison! I’m so excited for you guys to listen in as we dive into what it really means to walk the narrow path as a follower of Christ. Choosing to live for God isn’t always easy — it requires our obedience, willingness to sacrifice, and a personal commitment to knowing His Word. Together, we’ll discuss how to stay rooted in truth when the world tries to pull you in different directions, and what it means to live your life as a daily sacrifice for the Lord.

I pray this conversation encourages you to stay faithful, knowing that the narrow path — while challenging — leads to the fullness of life that only Jesus can give.

If you’ve ever felt the tension of trying to honor God in a world that doesn’t always understand, this conversation is for you!

In this episode of In Totality, I share how stepping away from podcasting exposed where my trust in the Lord actually was… and where my pride had been hiding. I had to confront the uncomfortable reality that I was leaning more on my own strength than on God’s strength.

Through fasting and prayer, seeking His face daily, and surrendering to His way, I learned that faith isn’t just believing in God—it’s trusting Him completely, with everything, even when it's hard to do.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-reliance, or the fear of letting go of control, this episode is for you!

Welcome back to In Totality! Have you ever found yourself so caught up in the busyness of life that your time with the Lord becomes more about what you need from Him rather than just truly centering Him? That’s where I found myself at the end of last year, and I knew I needed to step away. In this episode, I’m sharing why I took time off from social media and the podcast, what God revealed to me through a week of prayer and fasting, and how He’s calling us to a daily dependence on Him. Fasting stretched me, refined me, and renewed my heart—and maybe it's something God is calling you to as well. What would it look like to truly depend on the Lord daily? Tune in and let’s talk all about it.

After taking time away to rest and seek the Lord, I’m coming back with a renewed heart, deeper conviction, and fresh perspective. This season of In Totality is all about the seriousness of our relationship with God—fully surrendering, completely dependent, wholly devoted (Romans 12). It hasn’t been easy, but God has been refining me so that what I pour out is pure. I pray this season edifies you as much as it has stretched me. Season 2 starts Tuesday, March 4th!

What if recharging your spirit was as simple as stepping back?

Join me, Megan Ashley As we prepare for a holiday break, I’m reflecting on the power of rest and a social media sabbatical—a step toward mental health and spiritual well-being. Through biblical teachings and Christ’s example, we explore the necessity of pause, reminding us that consistent podcasting since 2022 has only deepened my commitment to serving you. During this time, our Patreon community will stay active with Bible studies and exclusive content.

This year, we've celebrated personal milestones like Jonah's baptism and finding a spiritual home at 2819 Church. These moments highlight that true success isn’t measured by numbers but by spiritual growth and meaningful connections. Let’s carry the gratitude of 2024 into 2025, renewing our commitment to faith, family, and the mission of spreading the gospel.

Join me, Megan Ashley, for a closer exploration of spiritual highs and lows, inspired by transformative experiences from the Acts 2:42 Conference. Together, we’ll reflect on the joy of God’s presence, the challenges of feeling distant, and how the enemy sows doubt about His love. My hope is to offer encouragement for those facing spiritual struggles as we approach our holiday break

We’ll unpack the spiritual battle between the accuser and the intercessor, exploring how the enemy uses our past to plant doubt, while scriptures like Hebrews 7:25 and the parable of the prodigal son remind us of our restored identity in Christ.Whether you’re new to faith or a seasoned believer, join me as we navigate spiritual dryness, embrace honesty, and stay anchored in God’s redemptive love.

Welcome back for Pt 2 Join me, Megan Ashley and my best friend, Jackie Hill Perry, As we share the journey of organizing a large-scale conference rooted in diversity and inclusivity. Inspired by the lack of representation at a past event, we felt called to create a space for spiritual enrichment for people like us.

In this episode, we recount the challenges we faced—logistical hurdles, financial concerns, and personal trials like depression and self-doubt. With the support of sponsors and unwavering faith in God’s provision, we persevered through setbacks, growing as leaders along the way. 

Reflecting on moments of spiritual struggle and revelation, we discuss the profound impact of the Acts 242 conference, lessons in leadership, and the importance of community. We celebrate the volunteers and attendees who made it all possible and look forward to the future with hope and faith.

What does it mean to find true freedom and balance in a world that constantly demands productivity? Join me, Megan Ashley and my best friend, Jackie Hill Perry, as we reflect on a whirlwind year that felt like a decade. Through laughter and exhaustion, we dive into the symbolic moments that defined our journey— Our conversation spans the highs and lows of the year, exploring the grace that sustains us through faith and the Holy Spirit. As 2024 winds down, we share how we’re preparing to move forward with renewed purpose. 

In a culture obsessed with achievements, we unpack the tension between constant busyness and the necessity of rest. Together, we discuss the importance of prioritizing mental and spiritual health, finding fulfillment in our souls, and cherishing family ties over material accomplishments. Grateful for friendships that uplift and sustain us, we also consider stepping back from the chaos of social media to protect our well-being. 

We recount our journey of friendship from initial skepticism to a deep, genuine bond, reflecting on the spiritual warfare we’ve faced and the foundation that has helped us overcome adversity. This conversation is a reminder of the power of silence, love, and resilience in the face of trials—drawing parallels to Christ’s sinless suffering and the growth that follows hardship. 

Tune in as we share candid thoughts on faith, friendship, and the transformative lessons this year has taught us.
