EP 50: Faith Through Affliction

Can faith transform your pain into a source of strength? Join me, Megan Ashley, as I share deeply personal stories and explore how trusting in God during life’s trials can lead to profound spiritual growth. In this episode of *In Totality*, I begin by expressing heartfelt gratitude to our listeners and sharing an honest account of my recent struggles, including the spiritual challenges I’ve faced while preparing for the Acts 242 conference, and a harrowing experience with a severe corneal abrasion. As I navigate these trials, I invite you into a deeper conversation about the love and support from my community, I explore the physical pain and emotional weight that comes with suffering, reflecting on scripture, particularly 2 Corinthians 4:16, to reveal how momentary afflictions can shape us spiritually. Together, we’ll uncover the power of scripture and the Holy Spirit in overcoming adversity, discovering how even in moments of deep suffering, we can find strength and hope. This episode is a reminder that, through unwavering trust in God and the intricate resilience of our bodies, there is a path to healing, endurance, and eternal glory."
