In Totality with Megan Ashley

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.Other topics you’ll hear -Spiritual growth-Mental health-Social media break-Personal milestones-Gratitude-Family-Spiritual well-being-Renewal-Balance-Holiday season-Meaningful conversations-Intimate relationship-Personal rejuvenation-Church community,-Challenges-Joy-Success-Making disciples-PurposeThanks to our Sponsors Zocdoc Go to https://Zocdoc.com/TOTALITY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.

Inspired by the lack of representation at a past event, we felt called to create a space for spiritual enrichment for people like us. What started as a small retreat featuring speakers like Dr. Sarita Lyons and Dr. Eric Mason grew into a vision for an event welcoming up to 500 attendees. 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.
