What does it truly mean to steward God's work with reverence? This week on In Totality with Megan Ashley Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell of 2819 Church in Atlanta joins us to explore the profound impact of spiritual growth and the challenges it brings. From his early days at Victory Church to his current role, Pastor Philip shares his journey of leadership, transformation, and humility, and his mission to make disciples.

This episode includes personal accounts of suffering and healing, illustrating the complexities of the Christian journey. We discuss my transformative experience at a prayer service and touch on mental health struggles within the context of faith, exploring how community, love, and faith provide strength and hope.

How do you stay faithful and resilient when faced with relentless criticism? Join me, Megan Ashley, as we explore the emotional and spiritual trials of living out our faith in the public eye, drawing inspiration from Stephen's unwavering strength in Acts chapter six, in this episode of In Totality.
we delve into the narrative of Stephen, a man chosen for his integrity and filled with the Holy Spirit, we discuss the challenges he faced, including false accusations and ultimate martyrdom. The story of Stephen is a poignant reminder of the importance of serving with integrity and standing firm in truth despite opposition. We unpack the apostles' decision to appoint seven Hellenistic men to ensure fair treatment of the widows, highlighting themes of service, justice, and faithfulness.
Living boldly for Christ can bring about persecution, but through Stephen's example, we see the power of defending God's word rather than our own reputations. Reflecting on our personal struggles and the necessity of a supportive community rooted in scripture, this episode underscores the essential role of the Holy Spirit in empowering us to proclaim truth and love. Embrace the call to forgive and love our enemies, and join us in navigating this season of critique and exposure with unwavering faith and fellowship.

Join me, Megan Ashley, on this enriching episode of "In Totality" as I share my heart and reflections on the past year, highlighting my journey of spiritual focus and discipline since May 2023. In our exploration of embracing freedom in salvation, we delve into the transformative power of key biblical scriptures such as Romans 5:8 and John 3:16. These passages illuminate the incredible love and sacrifice of Christ for humanity, encouraging us to fully embrace God's unconditional love, forgiveness, and acceptance. The narrative of the prodigal son serves as a powerful illustration of God's boundless grace and restoration, reminding us that no matter how far we stray, we can always return to Him and be fully restored.
As we discuss experiencing liberation through Christ, I share how understanding God's kindness, provision, and mercy brings peace and freedom. This chapter emphasizes the joyous privilege of living according to His teachings, not out of obligation, but from a place of honor and gratitude. Listen in as we explore practical ways to live in the freedom of being in Christ daily, balancing life with a heart check and seeking God's guidance. Reflecting on scriptures such as Psalms 139:23, Acts 3:19, and Galatians 2:20, we discuss the importance of daily repentance, embracing our identity in Christ, and avoiding temptations.

Lyons, author of "Church Girl": A Gospel Vision to Encourage and Challenge Black Christian Women available now!
