THIS is by far my favorite episode. I'm a seasoned older woman and I can tell you that the fact that you 'get' what God is doing in this experience speaks to the spirit of wisdom that rests on you. It takes a great amount of humility AND discernment to choose the truth over our emotions. This is what it looks like to actually put on your spiritual armor in the battle against spiritual warfare. I've been in this place you described countless times... it doesn't stop but it helps to recognize it so that you don't fall into self-pity or s tunnel of discouragement. When you stand (after putting on your armor) and remain steadfast in what you KNOW about the character of God... that will keep you in periods of dryness... it always passes. So proud of you Meagan for doing the hard things & not hiding it but exposing the gritty parts of walking this walk with Christ.🤍🤍
Not me out here accusing myself on the devils behalf. Not me out here working for the enemy for free!🤔 what a revelation that is, thank you Holy Spirit!❤
I cried watching this....God is too intentional. I was so excited for this new month and within hours this drought of sadness, unknown feelings took over my mind. I finally said to the Lord, I dont understand what is going on, as it go to the point I couldn't even pray to him and God is my best friend. This episode felt like the lord was talking to me. Thank you sooo much, May the almighty God continue to bless you x
Megan's notion about not believing that "God loves ME" struck oil in my soul. I cant remember who I was listening to this past couple of weeks that made refernece to a similar thought: with regard to fatherlessness and how it can skews our ability to walk out the role (for lack of a better term) of being a daughter to a father.. I dont know how to be a daughter to a father. Most "father figures" get side eyes and cold shoulders from me and I think I just realized I do the same thing to the Lord.
I remember when I felt this way and i felt like God was saying, I don’t use you, I choose you! And I choose you over and over again! He reminded me that I didn’t choose Him but He chose me from the foundation of the world!
Oh Megan you’re talking to me today! I was listening to a TBN episode this morning and had this same revelation. It’s hard for me, even with proven evidence over time, to believe that God will truly provide for me and take care of me and always be there for me because of the instability in my relationship with my dad. I thought that relationship only impacted how I dealt with and received earthly men but I am realizing that it is also having an impact on how I receive and submit God.
This is sooo Timely. Glory to God. In this particular dry season the Lord showed me that although it's good that i love the secret place, apart of me loves it simply because of what i get out of it. And although i am allowed to love how He makes me feel i became too dependent on a feeling to worship. But this dry season has taught (and still is teaching) me how to adore the Lord, from a place of Knowledge of his word and his love and from a place of FAITH. And even though i do miss feeling him. Its true that he is refining us this time. LEAN IN YALL❤
Dear Ms Megan, I want you to know that what I’ve seen God doing in your life has been an inspiration to me. I always had a feeling that with the things I have done, I should just be grateful that he rescued me. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. But, God is showing me through you that there is freedom in him and I can be everything he has called me to be without condemnation. He has given me new dreams and desires for holiness that I believed was not for someone like me. I know that many are judging you negatively, but there are those of us that not only recognize the growth but are encouraged by your testimony. Please stay strong and continue to allow God to perfect his work in your life ❤
You know what! I’ve been feeling like God has been ignoring me lately…like I don’t hear his voice like I hear other people talk about but I had to realize that he speaks to people in different ways. I was just praying about the topic of the video and he answered me in this video. He seems to answer me through other people. Like this is not no coincidence. My God, my God. You are speaking to me right now!! This video came right on time… I am about to go cry now😂
FAMILY IN CHRISTPLZ PRAY FOR ME.....JUST FEELING REALLY DOWN, ALONW, UNWANTED, UNLOVABLE, FORGETTABLE, AND UGLY PRESENTLY AFTER BEING GHOSTED BY SOMEONE WHO LITERALLY TREATED ME LIKE TRASH. IM REALLY SAD BUT I KNOW GOD IS NEAR TO THE BROKENHEARTED EVEN IF IT WAS SELF CAUSED. LOVE U GUYS
We Love you❤ don’t take it as someone ghosted you! God is protecting you even though you’re feeling all these things that you have mentioned take it as God asking you to spend time with him and seek him before anyone else! I pray God gives you the strength to move forward in life. I promise you it gets better ❤
Man Megan...i needed to hear this message. My morning prayer has been so dry, and so uninspiring and unintentional. A few weeks ago it was so deep and heartfelt, and I was in my closet for 2 hours. It made me feel terrible because I NEEDED him a few weeks ago, desperately! Now things are a bit better and I don't have a fervent prayer in me, and i feel terrible about that like I'm using him. And it's making me feel like I strayed away just that fast...thank you for this message...❤
“The enemy does a good job of accusing you with the facts of your life” This is what It means to we are saves from Faith to Faith. Some of us in these comments just got set free from your brave testimony🙌🏽🔥⛓️💥❤️ Thank you Jesus
I think it's amazing how this conversation begins with feeling used by God (in the way someone would use and discard of a person when they've gotten what they wanted), but Megan God is really USING you in these moments to minister to his sons and daughters because that's something I have felt for quite some time no and just thought I was dang near losing my mind. Like his purpose for me is to further His kingdom, but not necessarily that I am also in it, like are are the thing that God is "allowing" in the lives of those He "actually" loves to prune and reprove and refine them... but not also for you. Again, thank you for your obedience
This is so good and on time....I love that HE is my Father and I get to run to His arms when I feel overwhelmed and exhausted by this thing called life. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and encouraging words. God bless you and your kids. Hope you and your family have a safe and Merry Christmas!
MMMEEGGGAAANNN!!! Thank you for your obedience on this episode! You really just helped me out of this stagnant place I’ve been in for the last 2 yrs in my walk. I’ve become self-centered instead of Christ centered! I was looking for idols in my life that I hadn’t struck down and it was me … I was the idol the whole time! Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this episode, Ashley. This video is incredibly timely, as I felt like I was in a drought season for the past two weeks. When I opened RUclips, I intended to watch something else, but I kept feeling like I wasn’t meant to. I kept asking God, “Are you saying something?” Then, while watching what I had on, I decided to scroll on Instagram-and boom, I stumbled upon the snippet of your video. It immediately resonated with me because it described exactly what I was going through. Thank you again, and God bless you. Wishing you and your team more grace and strength!
So good, faith is built up by hearing the Word of God and it’s so important that we tell ourselves and wash ourselves in the Word. Thank you Megan for this edifying encouragement 💕
And NOT BELIEVE HE LOVES YOU was worth listening to everything else that didn't necessarily resonate! I have been struggling believing God REALLY loves me! I've been praying for God to help me understand love that is not in some way, transactional. I TRULY thank YOU for your transparency. May God continue to bless you and all your endeavors! ♥️✝️♥️
I was not prepared for this… but I knew the minute you started talking is the moment I was being confirmed by God.I literally am having the Spiritual Drought. Like I am alone in this no matter how hard I pray or how long I pray I keep feeling unheard and not cared for. So thank you so much!!! I pray you continue this journey with the Grace that God has bestowed upon you! ❤ Love you sis!
This was so timely. I very much relate to the struggle of God’s love for me. The book of Hosea has been in my heart lately and this episode led me right to it and led me to pray that know God’s love for me more deeply. Thanks Megan for your vulnerability and servant hood. Rather it’s a good laugh (daddy god) or a good cry or deeper understanding or clarity concerning the things of the Lord your podcast has blessed me much. ❤
The Lord revealed to me during my meditation time after watching this episode that I have often placed more value & weight in wanting to be loved and wanted more by human beings. That I have made the knowledge of his love for me and him wanting me a tertiary thing & that I am moved by man's love more than I am by God's love. TBH, I don't think I have ever experienced the Eph 3:18-19 type of love and it often feels like it's kinda elusive to experience it's kind.
Romans 8:6 say for the sense and reason of the flesh is death but a mindset controlled by the Holy Spirit finds life and peach (TPT) I’ve learnt self awareness can also be a form of self condemnation.
Dear Megan, When you do work for God, your vessel becomes empty and need to be refilled. You have to go back to the source. It’s the same way we worked physically and need rest. It’s the same way when we availed ourselves to be used by Him, we become spiritual drought. We have to go back to the living water. This is the time when the devil try to fill you with lies. When Jesus fasted and prayed, that’s when the devil try to tempt Him. Jesus used the word. Go back to the source which is the word of God and He will reboot you. You’ll be alright
I’m in a season of just sitting at the Lord’s feet as His daughter and it has been so uncomfortable at times. He is teaching me what love actually is & how to accept it without the false belief that I somehow have to earn it. I’m so grateful. This episode was right on time per usual. 🛖🤎
Lord Jesus only you can carry the burdens I face as a single parent please provide me with the wisdom to make the right decisions for my children, and the courage to face each day with optimism as I continue to struggle with providing for my boys both have special needs. Heavenly Father as I struggle financially grant me strength and prosperity I KNOW YOU WILL 💕❤️
@Megan thank you for your honesty and transparency, its refreshing to hear the truth of this narrow road journey. As I was listening, it was hard to stay focused with the number of commercials during the message. As I understand the reason for them, would it be possible to anchor them at the beginning and the end, or something to minimize the distraction from what the Holy Spirit had laid in your heart. I am not criticizing but asking from my heart. I have the paid RUclips Subscription because of ads that take away from the message. Sincerely
I’m not even halfway through with this video but Daddy issues with you earthly father. Naturally makes me not trust be able my Heavenly Father. Ugh! 🤦🏼♀️I’m definitely a Martha 🥴This video is so relatable!!
When God told me to just be His daughter for a while, it shook me. I was literally in the mindset of I got do this and that for the Lord because that’s kinda how I got love from my earthly father. He is so loving that He just wanted me to be His daughter and I didn’t have to work for it. 🥹

The journal prompt moment was so real 😅 she won’t forget that one. This was good ✊🏾🔥
This is so good. I love your transparency. Your internal struggles are similar to mine. Thank you for your offering girl. Your Yes. Testify!

"Learn to preach the gospel to your heart," I felt this!!!!
I was in London Megan. I felt that shift. #plottwist ❤️🙏🏽🥰

Meditate on Psalm 139 . He is good to you even when you may not think so, he made you by his design. You are loved

I’m not even halfway through with this video but Daddy issues with you earthly father. Naturally makes me not trust be able my Heavenly Father. Ugh! 🤦🏼♀️I’m definitely a Martha 🥴This video is so relatable!!
The Psalm you read is the Psalm Jesus was crying out when He was on the cross. Mark 15:34. Yet again showing that He shares suffering with us.
I’m in that right now 😕 pray for me please
It would be cool if china anne mcclain would be on the podcast!!!
That’s good!
