In this episode, I sit down with Brenna Blain for one of the most honest conversations Iâve had on the podcast. We talk about what it really looks like to follow Jesus while still battling mental illness, trauma, and temptation. Brenna shares her powerful story from growing up in church as a pastorâs kid, abuse, same-sex attraction, and deep seasons of depression.
We talk about what it means to suffer well, how motherhood can actually disciple us, and why Godâs goodness doesnât always look like the comfort we expected - yet we hold fast to the promise that God heals always, even if itâs not on this side of eternity. If youâve ever asked, âCan I still love Jesus and feel this broken?â this episode is for you.

In this continuation of last weekâs episode, my mom, Ms. Yvette and I move past trials weâve faced together and into the transformation weâve witnessed. We talk about cultivating a lifestyle of prayer, learning to listen for Godâs voice, and how true healing happens when we yield to His presence.
Tune in to hear how the Lord has taught us both to walk in humility, steward our relationship differently, and grow together in grace.
Whether you're longing for guidance in your walk with God, or simply a reminder that change is possible through Him, I pray this episode draws you closer to the heart of the Father.

In this deeply personal and long-awaited Motherâs Day episode of In Totality, I sit down with one of the most important people in my life - my mom.
This conversation is raw, honest, and full of the kind of love only a mother and daughter can share. We open up about our journey together - how my mom came to know Jesus, how our relationship has evolved over the years, and the very real struggles weâve faced as a family. I share openly about my battles with mental health, and my mom shares how she leaned on the Lordâs strength and wisdom to walk with me through some of the darkest moments of my life.
This is a story of faith, perseverance, and the kind of love that covers even the hardest seasons. Whether youâre a mother, daughter, or someone in the middle of your own healing journey, I pray this conversation brings you hope and reminds you that God truly meets us in every valley.

In this weekâs episode of In Totality, Iâm back with my dear friends, CD and Melody Fabien, for Part II of our powerful conversation on purity, obedience, and trusting God in the waiting. If Part I stirred something in your spirit, this next part goes even deeper.
Weâre talking about what it really looks like to walk out a set-apart relationshipâone that honors God even when itâs countercultural. From setting boundaries to choosing obedience over ease, this couple shares how their faith shaped their love story beyond just waiting for marriage.
I pray this episode encourages you to lean into Godâs process, even when it feels slow or misunderstood. Heâs not just preparing the promiseâHeâs preparing you for the promise.
If youâre in a season of waiting, dating with intention, or learning how to surrender your timeline to God, this oneâs for you.

When God writes your love story, it looks different from the worldâs version â and itâs worth the wait.
In todayâs episode of In Totality, I sit down with two of my dear friends, a married couple whose very first kiss was at the altar on their wedding day. We talk about their individual journeys of salvation, the seasons of preparation God led them through, and the faith it took to trust Him every step of the way.
Their story is powerful, but itâs important to remember: while this may not be exactly what God is specifically calling you to do in your waiting season, He is calling all of us to live lives of obedience, faith, and consecration.
We dive deep into what it means to honor God not just in dating, but in every part of our walk with Christ. If youâve ever wondered if itâs still possible to live set apart in relationships today, this conversation will remind you: it is, and itâs beautiful.
Whether youâre single, dating, or already married, I pray this episode encourages you to trust God's timing, obey His leading, and believe that His plans for you are better than anything you could write on your own.

When my son was diagnosed with autism at age twoâand later with Fragile X syndromeâI entered a kind of grief I wasnât prepared for. It wasnât loud or dramatic. It was quiet, slow, and deeply sacred. It was the grief of letting go of the life I imagined and learning to embrace the one God was writing.
In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the pain, surrender, and beauty that come with raising a child with special needs while clinging to faith in Jesus. I talk about the silent ache of broken expectations, the sacredness of honest lament, and the unexpected closeness of God in the middle of it all.
Grief doesnât always come from deathâit often comes from the loss of an idea, a dream, or a version of life we thought weâd have. But even there, God is present. Even in our most unspoken sorrows, He is faithful. And even when healing doesnât look the way we hoped, He still gets the glory.
If youâve ever carried a grief you didnât choose, or wrestled with faith in the face of lifeâs hardest questions, this episode is for you. May it remind you that youâre not aloneâand that hope still lives here, too.

In this episode of In Totality, Iâm talking about what it means to truly live as a sacrifice for God.
As Christians, we love the idea of purpose, calling, and blessing, but what about surrender? What about the moments when obedience costs you relationships, opportunities, reputationâor comfort? Scripture tells us to offer our lives as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God⊠but are we really willing to endure suffering and persecution for His nameâs sake?
Whether your walk with Christ means walking away from whatâs easy, whatâs popular, or what makes sense to the world â itâs worth it! If youâve ever wrestled with obedience when itâs hard, or felt the weight of standing firm in your faith, this conversation is for you!
Tune in and be reminded: He is worthy of it all!

In this episode of In Totality, I had the pleasure of speaking with Carl Lentz for a vulnerable, honest, and meaningful conversation about grace, redemption, and what a renewed faith looks like.
This is Carlâs first time on the podcast, and we didnât hold back. We talked about the power of Godâs correction, and the process of rebuilding faith, and what it means to live fully dependent on God â even in the private, hidden places too.
If youâve ever felt disqualified, distant, or unsure of how to move forward with your faith, I pray this episode reminds you: God still calls, covers, and invites us to walk with Him toward wholeness.

Have you ever felt on fire in your faith, only to wake up one day and feel like God is distant? I know I have. It can be confusing, discouraging, and even a little scary. But hereâs what Iâve learnedâthese shifts arenât random. Theyâre part of the faith journey.
In this episode of In Totality, Iâm diving into the spiritual cycles of consolation and desolationâthose seasons when God feels incredibly close and those when He seems silent. Why does He allow these shifts? What is He teaching us in them? And how do we keep trusting Him when we donât feel Him?
I want to remind you: God is just as present in the silence. If youâve been walking through a dry season, questioning where God is, or just trying to hold onto faith when things feel uncertain, this episode is for you! Tune in now!

Weâre diving even deeper into what it means to fully live a life that reflects Christâno matter the cost. Weâll talk about the challenges that come with obedience, and practical ways to stay committed to Godâs Word.
I hope this conversation encourages you to stay faithful, even when the journey feels challenging. Choosing Godâs way leads to true purpose, peace, and life in Him.

In this weekâs episode of In Totality, Iâm joined by a very special guest, host of The Leader's Cut podcast, Preston Morrison! Iâm 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 isnât always easy â it requires our obedience, willingness to sacrifice, and a personal commitment to knowing His Word. Together, weâll 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 â while challenging â leads to the fullness of life that only Jesus can give.
If youâve ever felt the tension of trying to honor God in a world that doesnât 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 Godâs strength.
Through fasting and prayer, seeking His face daily, and surrendering to His way, I learned that faith isnât just believing in Godâitâs trusting Him completely, with everything, even when it's hard to do.
If youâve 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? Thatâs where I found myself at the end of last year, and I knew I needed to step away. In this episode, Iâm 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 Heâs calling us to a daily dependence on Him. Fasting stretched me, refined me, and renewed my heartâand 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 letâs talk all about it.

After taking time away to rest and seek the Lord, Iâm 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 Godâfully surrendering, completely dependent, wholly devoted (Romans 12). It hasnât 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, Iâm reflecting on the power of rest and a social media sabbaticalâa step toward mental health and spiritual well-being.

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 weâve 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 trialsâdrawing parallels to Christâs sinless suffering and the growth that follows hardship.
