In Totality with Megan Ashley

3d ago

In this week’s episode of In Totality, I’m joined once again by my girl Dinorah Peña, and we had a really great conversation about all the things! What started as a casual conversation turned to a Spirit-led dialogue on what it looks like to meditate on God's word and truly lean on the Holy Spirit, the weight of saying “yes” to God, and obedience. We talk through what it looks like to follow God even when you feel unqualified or overwhelmed. From wrestling with pride to the quiet conviction of the Holy Spirit, this conversation is not curated, it’s confessed and vulnerable, and it’s all about learning to trust God when the path feels uncertain and your heart feels unsure. If you’ve ever asked, “Am I doing enough?” or felt like your weaknesses disqualify your calling, this is for you. God’s not waiting on your perfection. He’s asking for your surrender.

In this week's episode we are LIVE for our 100th episode of In Totality! I honestly can't believe we've reached this far in our podcast journey, but it's a true testament of God's faithfulness when we obey and give Him a serious yes. I'm joined by my best friend, Jackie Hill Perry, and we have an open conversation about sanctification, and the very real struggle of becoming more like Christ. We talk through the frustration of feeling stuck, the emotional weight of obedience, and why spiritual growth often feels slow and painful. This isn’t a teaching moment, it’s a transparent one. We don’t just quote scripture, we live it. And sometimes, that looks like waiting, and asking hard questions. If you’ve ever felt like your effort isn’t enough, or you’re tired of fighting battles no one sees, this conversation is for you! God is not distant, He's refining you and He is with you. Even here. You’re not failing. You’re being reformed. I can't wait for you to hear this one! Tune in now!

In this week’s episode, I’m joined on the couch by Gloria Umanah for the very first time on In Totality, to share her story of survival, identity, and the war for her life. We unpack the seeds of trauma planted in childhood, the quiet despair masked by performance, and the miracle of choosing hope. Gloria opens up about her lifeversary, and how one whisper from God changed everything. If you’ve ever wondered if your pain disqualifies you from purpose, or questioned whether God sees your suffering, this conversation is for you. You’re not too broken. You’re not a burden. You are essential to the story God is writing. Tune in now! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .

In this week’s episode, I’m unpacking a powerful, dual-story moment in Scripture that has been ministering deeply to my heart—Jairus’ daughter and the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5. We explore what it means to pursue Jesus in desperation, to press through discouragement, and to discover that He often gives us more than we were even asking for. I share how this passage has encouraged me in a season of spiritual fatigue and waiting, and how God reminded me that He doesn’t just heal—He restores identity. If you’ve ever begged God for just one breakthrough, or wondered whether He sees you while others receive their blessing, this conversation is for you. You’re not forgotten. You’re not overlooked. And you are still His child. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by my brother, pastor and author Tim Timberlake to dive into his newest book, The Bumpy Road to Better. We talk about what it really looks like to walk with God through pain, doubt, and disappointment, when faith feels exhausting and the process feels slow. Tim opens up about seasons of deep hardship, learning to lead through pain, and discovering the difference between information about God and revelation from Him. Together, we unpack what it means to trust God in the wilderness, surrender doubt before it becomes an idol, and let Him turn wounds into scars that testify of His healing power. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the waiting or felt weary in your faith, this conversation is for you.

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by author and teacher Yana Jenay Conner, to get into her new book, Living Beyond Offense! Tune in to hear us unpack what it means to live beyond offense, to forgive without pretending it didn’t hurt, and to trust God enough to handle what justice looks like when we experience wrongdoings. Yana shares her heart behind her book, and we have an honest conversation about how grace works when you’d rather guard your heart, what healing may look like after betrayal, and how the Holy Spirit meets us in the tension between mercy and memory. If you’ve struggled with forgiveness, to move forward when reconciliation feels impossible, I pray this episode will bless you. Listen now, you don’t want to miss this!

If you’ve been walking with In Totality for a while, then you know I’m passionate about talking through the raw parts of our faith journeys, the in-between spaces where trust feels tested and growth feels slow. In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the process of sanctification—that slow, beautiful, and sometimes frustrating journey of being shaped into Christ’s image. We talk about what it looks like to hold on when you’d rather hurry, to trust God when you don’t understand His pace, and to find peace in the “not yet” moments of your story. This conversation unpacks what it means to be renewed day by day, even when you’re tired, even when it feels like nothing’s changing, and how God uses the waiting, the wrestling, and the weariness to make us whole. Lean in, and let’s talk about the slow work of sanctification together. Listen now, you don’t want to miss this one!

Okay ya'll! I am so so excited about today's episode! If you've been tuned into In Totality for a while, then you know I LOVE the The Chosen series— and so I'm thrilled to share this week's episode with the creator of the show and his wife— Dallas and Amanda Jenkins! We dive right into what it truly means to find strength when you have none left to give and talk about the moments when your faith feels fragile, your prayers feel empty, and you’re walking with God through weariness instead of wonder. This conversation explores how weakness can become holy ground, the very place where grace meets surrender and God’s power is made perfect in our limitations. We share an honest look at what it means to be carried by God in seasons where you can’t carry yourself, and how even in exhaustion, He is still faithful, still near, and still working all things for good. If you’ve ever felt unseen, undone, or unsure how to keep going, this episode is for you. Listen in now, you don't want to miss this!
