In Totality with Megan Ashley

What’s up family?

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be faithful with anything that God has placed in our hands, especially when we may not always feel confident, qualified, or sure of where we fit, in the space of ministry.

Sometimes we may look at other people’s gifts, platforms, ministries, or callings and wonder if what God is doing in us is enough. But the more I sit with it, the more I’m reminded that growth is not always measured by platforms, numbers, titles, or visibility. Sometimes the deepest growth is what God is doing quietly in our hearts.

In this episode, I talk through wrestling with the insecurity of being a woman in ministry, keeping the focus on Christ, and learning to trust that our testimony is enough when it points people back to the Savior.

For anyone who feels unsure of their place, insecure in their calling, or tempted to compare what God is doing in their life to someone else’s, I pray this episode reminds you that where God has you matters. Your home matters. Your local church matters. Your dorm matters. Keep the main thing the main thing: Christ, His glory, and making Him name known wherever He sends you.

What's up family? This week i'm back with a conversation on anxiety, surrender, and the peace of God.

I’ve been going through Philippians 4 and what it means to bring everything to God in prayer: every request, every worry, every need, and every anxious thought. So often, we say we trust God, but our minds are still racing and our hearts are still carrying what He invited us to surrender.

I talk through making our requests known to God with thanksgiving, the difference between reading scripture and truly meditating on it, and how His peace guards our hearts and minds in a way nothing else can.

This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or tired from trying to figure everything out on their own. I pray this reminds you that God is not asking you to carry it alone. He is inviting you to come to Him, trust Him, and receive the peace that only He can give.

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.
