- Discover the transformative journeys of faith and the power of scripture. Join me, Megan Ashley, as I delve into a heart-to-heart with our special guest, Norris Johnson, an Instagram influencer with a radiant spiritual presence. Our episode captures a spontaneous Bible study session that blossomed during our first encounter, where we discuss how books like "The Awe of God" offer profound insights into growth and the human soul. Norris and I also share lighthearted moments debating our favorite soul food and Bible translations.
Norris brings to life his testimony of growing up surrounded by ministry and the prophetic, opening up about the highs and lows that have carved his path of devotion to Jesus. From early childhood connections to navigating the trials that test our faith, he uncovers the moments that have defined his spiritual journey. Our conversation strikes a chord as it reveals the raw realities of living a life in pursuit of purpose and the pivotal role of genuine faith in overcoming life's challenges.
As we conclude, the episode takes a look at the importance of authenticity and confronting our flaws in the light of divine grace.

Thank you so much for having me!!! Tune into part 2 yall!!!!
Soo good, many of us get shunned for being fully transparent with God, and in the kingdom.
🙌🏽 thank you for sharing your testimony!
Thank you and I thank god for keeping you and using you as his vessel to tell your story king🔥🔥 amazing
God bless you & your handsome little boy! I pray the Lord continue to bless you as you seek after him!
Thank you so much for sharing ❤
“God is exposing hearts, & he’s separating people based on heart posture” that’s was so good!
🔥
🙌🏾 yes
“My face doesn’t look like what I’ve been through but my shoes might!!” 😂🎉 I agree, that was indeed a good one😂🙌🏾✨
I would love Megan to have Tabitha back on her show this time around it is going to be powerful. Your light shines brighter this time around.
Yea this!!!
This part!!! Even on KFS podcast you can tell that Tabitha saw the anointing on Megan already and was glued to her. That definitely would be a powerful episode!
Yessss
I actually would love to see this happen.
God doesn’t pull you out when you’re ready.. he makes you ready! So powerful!
This episode literally delivered me from smoking weed everyday for 6 years straight, thank you for this Megan! Can’t wait to see the next episode!!
12 days later… how you doing?
@@latoyaamb3r it’s been going amazing, I literally lost the desire to smoke , I was putting so many things off & was subconsciously putting weed over those things. even when I’m going through crazy times, I normally smoke but since this video I’ve been able to spend more time with God and worship! So my harder days aren’t so hard bc I’m always in worship! 🫶🏽
6 months later ,how is it going ?
Let’s acknowledge this “ I realize God kindness just pulls you out “.
Love Meg with these braids, literally her signature look
That part! Fulfilling your ministry, but still being bound by substances, is relatable!
I love that you let people talk! So many other podcasters interrupt the guests and they never finish their thoughts and comments. This was, for lack of better words, filling.
I know you are tired of seeing this but It would be cool if you had chinna anne mcclain!!!!
I second this!
No like seriously!
Yes, yes and yes!!!!
Yesss!!
Pwease 🥺
I saw a clip on Tik Tok and I literally ran to your channel to watch the whole thing. This was very freeing, to know that I don't have to be "ready" for God to start working and blessing my ministry. I've had several prophetic words spoken over me about having a ministry...a huge ministry for this generation. I'm always disqualifying myself because of xyz and that's a scary callingforme😂, but watching this today has reminded me that God doesn't care if you're "ready or not." If He's called you, He's snatching you up wherever you are! Thank you Norris for your transparency and vulnerability, we need more men and women like you! Thank you Megan for being your authentic self, you have a new subscriber 🎉
“You’re bringing this up, I forgot about it” that really made me cry. This whole episode blessed me beyond measure. Thank you Megan for walking in Gods purpose…. It’s working ❤
I’m only halfway thru but I had to pause to say how many times I scrolled passed this like I’ll listen to it another time but God told me listen to this. I am struggling with my vices and am praying diligently for God to make me anew. And I NEEDED TO HEAR AND WATCH THIS. Just grateful for your testimony because I needed it. I felt it and may God continue to bless and use you both.
Literally SAME! I tried to put off watching again tonight, but somehow I just couldn't. Crazy
God's got y'all..us❤
51:10 “Those that run towards the light aren’t afraid of getting exposed.” Whheeeewww THAT IS A WORD!
We all fall short of his glory. Even your favorite preacher is a sinner just like you. The preacher at my church reminds us all the time to not rely on him for our salvation because he himself has struggles but to only rely on God to get us to heaven.
When God initiates you, he alerts everything around you!!!!!!!!!!!! Almost threw the damn remote!
I caught this episode on Spotify and it was really good! Especially the part about the conviction of smoking weed but still sharing the gospel. That was my struggle all last year. I knew God was telling me to stop but I simply didn't want to. I liked the feeling of being high and in my mind, it didn't effect my relationship with God because I was still "sharing the gospel" despite this vice that I had. I decided to officially stop in 2024. I haven't had a desire to smoke yet. I don't have any of my smoking materials with me at home so I couldn't smoke if I wanted to. Please be in prayer that he Holy Spirit continues to walk with me and help me when I am tempted to smoke again because this isn't my first time quitting. Thanks for sharing and your vulnerability!
MEGAN DONT EVER STOP!
Thank you, Norris Johnson II for your transparency. So many people need to know that God is real and he forgives. Congratulations, you have a beautiful son...
Oh man I can relate. Literally had struggled for years since I was 6 with an addiction and I remember the devil had me coz It was always done in secret literally NO ONE knew and I remember when I truly got saved I still struggled and I remember one day God brought a lady I got close to who would pray with me and One day I told her I broke down and told her I’m tired and I’ve been free ever since
Yall meed to Get “The Breaking of the Outer Man and the Release of the Spirit” by Watchman Nee
My sister and I have been reading it for months now. It’s really good and when I yall the way this book makes you check yourself shoot the first chapter will have questioning your true intentions on your journey with God. Its so insightful and real. I would definitely recommend it for a self development book club & bible study!!!!!
This is life changing. I’m struggling with the same thing. Almost clicked out until he started telling the story. This was for me today. glory to God 🩷
This episode was everything! Had my mouth wide open! God is exposing hearts this season!! The revelation you are bringing to this podcast will not go unnoticed! The people with a heart for God will come forth with truth! ❤️❤️🔥
“He does not wait until you get ready! “ he pulls you out….. you said it ❤
This was so good . I appreciate the RAW transparency from Norris in this episode. SO often I don't see a raw, open leadership within the body of Christ, but this is beautiful. This episode was a home run for me and I cannot wait to see part 2. Thank you both!
I really appreciate the content you are bringing to this space and the line of questioning that you’re bringing as an interviewer and I just wanted to leave a comment. I see you sis and I see your purpose. I commend you for standing in it and letting God use you. ❤ May the success of your endeavors exceed your wildest dreams. GOD bless you!
He is not lying! My man of God said the same thing in terms of exposing the people of God who are not seeking him and protecting His people. I just cannot wait to see God "combat" the sayings people will say. People love to say "See, I knew there was no point in serving God...look at all these fakes!" God is doing a new thing!
Having nothing to loose or nothing to hide is a blessing in that !
I love how as I am watching this podcast, her views are increasing. I love this for her 😍😍. She’ deserves this!
So proud of my boy!!!!! Congratulations on being on this amazing podcast Norris!!!!❤
Thank you for your new platform, going into this new year with your conversations ~ definitely is one of the best things I look forward to in my week
I enjoyed every second of this pod. It’s amazing how so many things resonated with me. So raw, vulnerable and authentic. You’re doing the Lords work Meg. Appreciate you. Can’t wait for part 2 eek!
Your reach is crazy too coz I’m watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
Same here sis loving every minute, looking forward to P2 ❤️🇿🇦
46:48 blessed me so much! I pray to have a heart for God, just like David did.
I kept seeing this and saying ill watch later, finally clicked on it and oh my, what an on time testimony. Oooh weee.
I NEEDED THIS 😭this testimony has saved me today. Thanks you Megan for bringing this testimony to light.
People are done with sermons; we need testimony and examples. Glory to God for both of your lives.
THIS WAS SOOOO GOOD!! There is so much confirmation in this pod my lamb! Open repentance!!
Whew, Megan and Pastor Norris. This was so good. God is exposing hearts. God is outsourcing because the church is not really!
🤲🏿 The clarity in this podcast, God is definitely outsourcing cause I'm definitely seeking. ❤
Ooohhhh! Not only do we beat ourselves up, we beat others up! Thanks for His messages /His Word to remind me! Checking my Heart Posture!
This was the best episode so far. People truly do not understand God can use you even when you are sinning. The work you do for God will eventually strip you of your bad habits.
Whewwww this was powerful!!!!! Megannnnnnnnnnnn girlllll, keep doing your thingggg you hear me. I can’t wait for part 2 💕
I loved this episode. It’s crazy how someone else’s testimony can really bless you!! Thank you
Can’t even deal with how powerful and wonderful this conversation was. 🔥🔥 God is separating the wheat from the weeds FOR SURE. Matthew 13. We’re witnessing a changing of THE GUARD. Seat changes are in session. And I praise God for it. We don’t have to do ANYTHING but love Him our best. He will sit down who He will sit down and stand up who He’ll stand up.
Yes Lord!
This episode is such a blessing! Continue to let God use you both.. I love how so many of us young people are seeking such an intimate relationship with God! I can’t wait for part 2!
CHILE !!!! this was a whole word !!!!! Thank you Jesus its a heart posture
This conversation was NEEDED! I am looking forward to part II
Girl imma need part NOW!!!! Such a good conversation!!! Norris’ story is relatable!
The best thing you could have ever done was give God your yesssss!!!!! 💃🏾🎉🕊️🙏🏾 awesome episode!!! Ready for part 2, 3 & 4 🤭
This was beautiful!!! The transparency of this conversation raised my eye brows so many times and God was like… yeah- I have been trying to tell you!
This was so good to listen and watch. The fact he was honest about how he was living two different lives while ministering is powerful. God is good. Great episode 👏👏🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🙌
“In the multitude of counsel there is safety” whew.. a word 👏🏿
I NEEDED THIS. I literally asked God to show me that his forgiveness is enough.
Cannot WAIT for Part 2!!!! Ended SO good ❤
This is so good.
God's kindness just pulls you out,he does not wait till you get ready,he pulls you Out and Makes you Ready 👏👏👏
This is one of my favorite episodes, watched it when it first came out & back again! His testimony is so authentic! Real Life Journey! & Meg when you said "That doesn't mean I am anointed to always live it, i'm graced to live it but that doesn't mean I have a powerful anointing to never make a mistake" !!!! AHHHHH THAT'S WHAT THEY CANT UNDERSTAND!
This is what we all need! Truth offers reliability which will bring more people to Christ. Performance ministry does not break chains Foreal
*relatability
Megan, what you said about running towards to light was just so beautiful. When I first came to Christ, I confessed so much to people I did things they didn't even know I did & I didn't understand why but hearing that, made me well up with tears, because I think I just wasn't afraid of what could be exposed. I HAD to do that because I felt the weight of my sin and it didn't matter what was exposed because, by the grace of God, I was running towards God, I was running towards the light.
Wooh Jesus!!! This confirms every conversation I’ve had in the past 2 weeks; every sermon I’ve listened to and everything that God is dealing with me on; My heart…That’s why I keep going back to Psalm 139 when David says “God search my heart…If there be anything that offends you…Lead me into the way everlasting.” (Paraphrasing and shortening it) But I keep hearing the comparison of King Saul vs. King David and the anointing that left…and then the deception of it all, when God has left you or rejected you, yet you’re still able to operate in your natural gifting. Wooh, that thing rocks me!! I was reluctant to listen to this episode because I was being judgy. Put look at GOD!! Thank you 🙏🏾.
I’m so grateful you continued this journey, grateful For the wisdom that comes from these episodes
Transparency is cool. Holiness is better…and condemnation is none to the followers of Christ ❤️
test the spirit by the spirit guys 🤗
Yes, mamn. I tried to watch this the other day, and couldn't. But I wanted to go to the comments to see if anyone else could discern what I did, and so far you the only one ❤
I commented something similar and my post was removed. smh
I’m not even 5 minutes in and this has blessed me. Thank You for the work that you’re doing and allowing God to work in you to bless others 🤍
Why am I in tears!, thank you Lord for raising this beautiful sister in Christ to bless our hearts 🙏🏽
Thank you Norris Johnson for the transparency that the church a-lot of the times isn’t willing to discuss openly. It has brought a-lot of deliverance to many I believe.
WOW! Im speechless 😮 this was fire 🔥 it flew by! These two are a powerful duo. You can feel God moving through the screen, here 😂❤ cant wait for part 2!!!
This is amazing! God is so good! He’s talks to us in so many ways 🥺🥺 Megan!! Thank you for this I love you ❤️ you’ve helping me , may GOD continue to bless & use you 🙏🏾🫶🏾
Guys this is life changing. I'm listen in my car, and I feel so much (people condemnation) breaking off of me. But also the urgency to remain in God and under the guidance of His Spirit.
Thank you for transparency! I’m happy that this is 2 parts ! ❤

Powerful powerful powerful!!! It’s about the HEART!!!!
I am blown away by this testimony. Wow!
I feeeel something here...and it's beautiful 🙏
Power of a humble life is a must read
I am so thankful that i am not afraid of the light or what people may think. I’ve experienced where those of us who live “transparent lives” comes off to people as if we think we are all that or not humble. No me exposing myself and my flaws is to show that they good in me comes from the lord. Without God I am perfectly flawed. But when you know whose you are and to whom you belong, you can walk in that imperfect place with confidence knowing that his grace is sufficient. Does not mean we shouldn’t work towards being better Christians daily, but it just means our shortcomings can be used to free others.
What a word this was ‼️ what a testimony
The way God spoke to me during this podcast I know it’s because of the heavy anointing between the two ! ❤
People better stop sleeping on the anointing of Pastor John Hannah. I love your ministry and transparency m.o.g. So glad God has kept you
Wow wow wow!, THANK YOU NORRIS FOR YOUR STORY, AND THANK YOU MEGAN FOR THIS PODCAST !!! Honestly and truly Im SO proud of you, your resilience and your ANOITMENT!
