In Totality with Megan Ashley

This week, I’m humbled and honored to bring you a conversation with someone whose ministry has made a huge impact in my walk recently— Pastor and Author Francis Chan. If you’ve been with me this season of In Totality, you know I’ve been taking my Patreon community through his latest book, Beloved, and this conversation is one that I've been praying for— and I cannot wait for you to hear it.

Beloved has deeply shaped how I see my relationship with God. It confronted something I didn’t even realize I was doing — trying to serve Him from a place of striving and performance, like I could somehow pay God back, instead of simply receiving His love as a daughter.

Francis and I talk about what it means to know God as Father — not just as Judge or Lord or the One we serve — and how easy it is to miss the very thing we were made for: enjoying Him.

We get into the difference between performing for God and truly abiding in Him, and why His love has to stay at the center of everything. You are going to want to listen to this more than once!

My prayer for you is that this episode helps you slow down, receive, and remember — you are not just called to love Him. You are invited to remain in Him.

So many of us are living with an identity shaped by the world, our feelings, our achievements, our past, our pain, our personality, or what other people have said about us. But scripture gives us a different foundation. Our identity is not something we discover inside ourselves; it is something declared by God.

In this episode, I'm here with the team talking through what it means to be created in the image of God, reborn in Christ, and no longer defined by the old self, and I really enjoyed this conversation! We talk about why following your heart is not enough, why adding Christ onto parts of your life is different from being fully surrendered, and why true transformation is not renovation. it is resurrection.

This conversation is for anyone who has been asking, “Do I really know who I am in Christ?"

My prayer is that this episode reminds you that you are loved, adopted, justified, and called to live faithfully, not perfectly, but surrendered.

This week I'm super excited for you guys to listen in on this episode! I'm joined by Trey Heflin, who you may be familiar with if you follow 2819 Church's worship team.

This season has been anchored in John 15, where Jesus reminds us to remain in His love. In this episode, that invitation continues through a conversation about worship, surrender, obedience, and what it truly means to give God your whole life.

This is Trey's first-ever podcast appearance and I'm so honored he's here with us! We talk about the pace and responsibilities of ministry and stewardship, and learning how to slow down enough to hear God in the stillness. He shares how worship became more than music for him, and how true worship is not just the songs we sing, but the life we live in response to God's nature.

This episode is for anyone who yearns to hear from God or learn how to worship Him with more than words. I pray it reminds you that God is not just after a moment. He is after your heart, your life, and your yes.

Hey guys! This week, i'm back with the team for an unconventional episode where I answer some questions from my Patreon Village!

We discuss topics of marriage, trusting God in seasons of singleness, dating in Christ with wisdom and intention, and how to love others from a place of intimacy with the Lord.
We also unpack healthy boundaries, how to rely on community when dating, the voice of the Holy Spirit, and so much more.

If you've been asking God for wisdom in relationships, struggling to trust Him with your future, or struggling to discern what faithfulness looks like in this season, this conversation is for you.

In this weeks episode, I’m reflecting on what it means to truly rest in the steadfast love of God.

So many of us are walking through seasons that feel uncertain, painful, and stretching. Maybe you’ve been trying to stay faithful, but if you’re honest, you’re tired. Tired of waiting. Tired of praying. Tired of not understanding what God is doing. In this conversation, I wanted to slow down and anchor us in the truth that God’s love is not shaky, conditional, or fleeting. It is steadfast and secure.

This episode is for anyone who feels weary, confused, pruned, or stretched thin in this season.

My prayer is that it reminds you that God has not forgotten you, He has not changed His mind about you, and He is still faithful in the middle of whatever you’re carrying.
