- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Join me, Megan Ashley, as I sit down with Jay and Jordan, two of my favorite people, who have become much more than colleagues-they're the heartbeat of both my professional and personal worlds. Listen in as we reminisce about our early days, laugh about the mishaps and milestones on the road, and reveal the tight-knit bond that makes us more like family than friends. It's an intimate look at the relationships that shape us, the shared history that binds us, and the mutual support that carries us through life's challenges and triumphs.
In this conversation, we explore the heartfelt connections that come from shared experiences and the unique camaraderie that only those who've journeyed together can understand. Discover the connection of our meeting, the laughter-filled tales of the past, and the unexpected ways our lives have intertwined, bringing a depth to our bond that only time and trust can forge. We open up about the profound impacts of caring for each other and for those we love.

I pray for friends like these ♥️🙏🏽
Not Jordan manifested this conference 😭😭😭 divinely orchestrated
Nobody but god!!!
Jay & Jordan bring out the best in Megan you can tell 🥹
MEGAN ASHLEY DO NOT BITE THE BULLET!!!! The enemy will attack you in the places that hurt you. Let God handle your enemies and DO NOT stoop to no level. I mean it ❤️❤️❤️
Megan articulates her words in such a wise way... with speaking on things with so much respect. She doesn't put anyone down publicly. Reminds me of Jesus cause if needed, she WILL tell you about yourself but she still extends grace😂😂😂❤️
Absolutely!
She's a person of integrity and it's such an attractive quality. You can really tell she intentionally considers the Lord in all she does... I am so thankful for this podcast, it's not everyday you see someone who's just real and doesn't put on a show for the camera and doesn't compromise, truly inspirational in my own walk with God. We thank God for that.
@lemogangmonnahela9091 yes. She takes don't grieve the holy spirit seriously and I'm learning from her!!
@@peace_byfaith_platorm tell me about it, I heard her former friend is starting her own podcast and I just started praying for her as I usually do. Praying that she doesn't compromise, Hollywood will mess anyone up if they're not rooted in Christ.
My phone is lost and I literally just asked to use someone else phone to watch the podcast I love it here and is sharing it with everyone I know. I am so happy to learn and experience the Megan Ashley podcast I feel like I can connect back to a happy , peaceful healthy space when I’m listening. It encourages me to reconnect with Christ.
In five years the impact of In Totality will be exceedingly and abundantly above all you guys think in this episode. Like J said, it already is. God will continue to blow your mind. ♥️🙏🏽
Megan, you walked out of that heartbreak with solid people sis. At times it's not about who left but who remained, I'm so happy God brought you godly ties that go beyond blood that you can continue to do life with while serving God. In the words of fantasia "Sometimes you gotta lose to win". Winning looks different from God's vantage point and one day you will testify "It was good for me to be afflicted......"💞
Side bar: I thought you and Jay were blood relatives lol.. And can I just say he's a fine young man lol🤞🏽
This whole comment touched me. Beginning with how crazy you mentioning that song felt. Lose to Win has been randomly coming on my spirit for weeeks!! A snippet of Fantasia and BGV came across my timeline today and I even shared in a meeting. That sings always felt more spiritual than romantic. “It was good for me to be afflicted” was exact scripture that I needed to come across to provide closure to a wound I’ve been prayer for God to resolve in me. Thanks for this complete comment 💗
@@MmmSoulCare 💞💞💞💞💞💞
Megan is top tier! Her talk and walk with Christ is so inspiring. Thank God for Jay & Jordan. Megan in definitely in her element and God will exalt her.
Do you guys have room for one more friend, it's so cozy here you can tell that God is present 😊... Love it for you all🙏🏽🌻
Lol count me too 😭😭
Literally.
As a registered behavior therapist, (specific therapy for people with autism) I hope she finished her school Journey and got certified. We need more black women in ABA!
You have an AMAZING job!! Do you have any suggestions? My son is 4.5 in preK and he is undiagnosed (Asperger’s) my opinion from seeing SS (he also has an appointment next month to be diagnosed) any suggestions on reacting to his behaviors? He will spit, kick, hit, throw things he definitely understands what he does wrong I know I can’t react to him like I would any other child. I do put him in the corner for a few minutes. He also talks could use improvement on expressing what he wants, he’s very intelligent and self taught reads at 2nd grade level. Thanks in advance
Sameee🥹🥹
I can see Megan launching self-help books and Divination books , etc. “In Totality w/ Megan Ashley” - So grateful for your resiliency to keep my hope alive! BLESS YOU 🫶🏽✨
Did you mean devotional instead of divination?
I pray for friends like this in Jesus name 🙌🏾 Megan really love and cares for them 😅. This was a great episode. They really show true meaning of how God is in real ❤
Yall are the tribe I prayed for through this podcast 🥰
Hearing Megan rave about how well Jorden cares for her baby boy is every parents dream. Even w.o his autism diagnosis… every parent dreams of having a care taker they trust w their babies life.!I cried hearing those words, bc I understand her tears!
I love this godly friendship. ❤
I'm crying.. Y'all telling each other what you love bout each other.. The friendship is pure.. Radiates so much genuinity ❤ from kenya🇰🇪

As a special needs mom the potty train comment 17:39 has me crying. I pray for a Jordan I had one but she went on to pursue her teaching dreams Miss her everyday
This is my first time ever seeing someone on social media and want to be friends with them- Jordan you have such and pure heart.
The communication between all of you is absolutely amazing. Truly a blessing to see the dynamic and really see it’s pure.
I almost screamed omg!!! I’m so ready for this. Hey J and Jordan!!

Now I realize my connection with you and your podcast. Not only do you remind me of my daughter but I'm a pediatric Speech Language Pathologist and I specialize in babies with ASD. Hats off to you❤🎉
My son who’s 2 years old is on the spectrum and I want to thank you for the work you do.Us moms will be lost without you all !!
@lynni.788 thank you so much 💓 I often questioned why God chose this profession for me now I know. God has Anointed me to Gently walk my parents through the difficult process. Of identifying our babies. God has also put on my heart to open up a developmental school for children with autism. So please keep me in your prayers.
@@rosailyn3036 prayers up high for you, your business venture and all of the families you will impact through your services.
Thank you for your work. Prayers up for you sis. It’s already done 💗
I love all this for you Megan!! To have watched you from the first episode of Know for Sure to now, we can see the growth, happiness, and God all over your life!! Thank you for obeying God and creating your own path. I have to listen to you every week :)
This is truly fellowship in its finest 🥹🤍 You 3 have such a beautiful relationship and love for each other that is sooo divinely orchestrated by God ❤️🔥 Thank you for showing us that Godly community really does exist especially in the Black community 🤎
Everything you said 🎯🎯🎯🎯
Sharing yalls fav verses was the best part. Each verse really showed Gods character and I could tell that y’all have really meditated on the Word.
God gives joy
God is love
God is trustworthy
I am a single mom in small town Alabama and the impact and knowledge that you have given me and shown me where to go to find the knowledge to grow with God. Thank you so much!!
Amazing Episode. Seeing Brother Nelson surrounded by such amazing women and Christ-led spaces is amazing. Please keep up the great work!
This is SO beautiful!
This is what conversations sound like when people are aware that God brought them together 💝
This 🔥🔥
I loved this episode! You three are a powerhouse. Thank you for all that you do. Looking forward to more episodes with Jay & Jordan
“God shows your gifts will make a way. God will provide”🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
This was a beautiful episode, and a testament of what God has done 🙌🏾💜 and how he sends your people to you at the right time. Megan thank you for being obedient to God, and spreading his love and word. In totality is going far, because it is already written.
I already listened to the audio , had to come for the visuals . Only right !
Y’all are making me want to read James . I’m doing a-read-the-Bible in 52 weeks so I’m trying to stay on course but the way y’all speak of it , I’m so intrigued!
Megan you said you weren't gone cry, you made me cry. But it's ok, I love you the woman you've become. Keep going🤗
Megan is fast becoming one of my favorites. Humble , respectful and just herself . Keep up the good work girl 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks guys for supporting Meagan on this beautiful journey. I pray that God will continue to lead you guys and your relationship will continue to grow stronger in Jesus name 🙏 Beautiful show 💯👏👏
I need friendships like this.
love this episode! wow! the bond is so real- you can feel it. ❤love the trio
Please have them on the pod more. I loved this episode so much ❤❤❤
I pray God brings me community like this and I pray god sends me a man like jay lol he seems like an awesome man 🙏🏿
He fine too lol
Amen
Haha he is @@marlrycoffie3339
This episode was so good. I laughed and cried the entire episode. I am so happy God has placed you 3 together. The pet peeves segment was absolutely hilarious
I think this episode was definitely needed I definitely didn’t understand the dynamic at first. But at least there was something great that came out of it all. Things happen for a reason and if they have bonded and built a relationship centering it with God I’m here for it! Loved this episode.
Blessings Megan this was beautiful so glad to be introduced to Jordan and jay! You to get pastor Jerry flowers on your show this MOG IS AMAZING AND ALSO VERY THERAPEUTIC LOOK UP HIM AND HIS WIFE CHECK PUT HIS THERAPY THURSDAYS GREAT
Praying for you guys! Thank you for sharing and giving us insight into your Godly friendship!!
This was beautiful to watch. Megan if you see this I have a curious question. Do you think you're putting too much on Jordan? She is so young and it seems like you've given her such a big responsibility. She not only cares for your kids but she does you too. You said she's your confidant, your everything. Im just wondering of you think that could be a lot for a 23 yr old. You're in your 30s. So maybe you can handle it all....but it may seem a bit much for her. Just something to consider.
Good question
I thought of that as well when I was watching. It seems like a lot of responsibility on someone that is so young. I hope Jordan still makes time to enjoy her youth and do what she really wants when it comes to fun and things that matter. It could potentially make her grow up and mature way too fast where she will miss out on her youth and young opportunities.
Nope I am a Jordan. It’s crazy to this day, we literally crack up laughing at our difference in age because I act like I’m 40 and have been since I was 12 lol (I’m 31 and she’s 39 now). It’s hard to understand or explain but I was mature and can handle it. And not “grown” mature…. But mature in the way I think, give advice… I was also just simply a “great listener, and trustworthy” compared to all of her “friends” her age. It’s not about responsibility in my opinion…it’s about being present for each other regardless of age. I was there for her, and I knew vice versa my big sis had my back. Megan probably pours into Jordan more than we see via the internet. Friend, Nanny, Cousin, Lil Sis turns into God Mommy, Maid of Honor, and Best Friend frfr. #ChosenFamily 🙏🏾 Thankful
Yess finally!! I remember Megan’s first episode and she said she had them too and you can hear their voice in the back and I said then that I can’t wait to hear their story because they definitely have been another important part and asset to Megans and B Simone’s career
I absolutely love this!! May God continue to grow you all relationship and journnies.
So so grateful that you are indeed trusting in the Lord! It’s a beautiful process to watch❤
So much of the stuff you mentioned about Jay got me like: "They are talking about me, for sure!" 🤣
I pray for these types of friendships and bonds! Happy for them!
I so love this it’s Megan jay and Jordan beautiful my favorite podcast living out loud for JESUS
Every episode blesses my spirit 🥹 I love this episode ♥️
love thissss💗 happy to see both jays outsideeee on the poddd 💗🫶🏾😊
I’m glad she gave them their kudos because I would never know that she has a prominent village that got her here otherwise.
I saw this posted on Spotify and I RAAAANN to this RUclips video. This warmed my heart 🩵
May The Most High Bliss you and keep you.
There’s a part 2 right? I loved this so much! So many friend gems 💎
Beautiful friendship with respectful boundaries! 🔥
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, I love ya'lls dynamic. I really want to be part of the village and can we get one of your devotional sessions you have in your office Meg the next time Jay and Jordan come on cs I could tell from the bit they shared that they have oil in their lives. Also, Jordan holds nothing back and is a real G💞
May GOD keep on blessing your friendship. Love yall
My son is autistic so i can relate so much to this video. Thank you so much for sharing.
Do I see something going on with Jay and Jordan? When the show first came on I saw chemistry. I also see Jay in speaking engagements.
I pray for friends and a life partner like this.
I relate to Jay so much. I started watching after my autistic brother at 11.
Soooo is Jay single?
Could you get Dr. Michelle Daf on your show?? I think you would love her too!! ❤️❤️❤️
Ill be one of those people on that stage when the time comes for that conferance. I declare that. My name is Brianna. See ya'll soon. Screen shotting this. Im 28 now. see yall on chapter 33.
I love this episode its so authentic and wholesome! Sidenote I can see Megan & Jay together in the future 👀😂❤ is that a reach?
Lol you're reaching sis, they are practically family lol
@@lemogangmonnahela9091 Welll I mean you never know!! Their chemistry is amazing! AND when she was on the other podcast she mentioned how she won’t get into another relationship unless it’s someone she knows and how they have to know her well soooo 🤷🏾♀️😂
@@MAKEUPSY lol I think Meg sees him as a baby brother at best. I like their closeness though, they're really tight and you can see how they all grew together and individually since kfs ended.
@@lemogangmonnahela9091 Yeah I can see that as well and I love that and whatever and however I'm praying they continue on this journey with where God takes them
Loved this episode 💕🙌🏾
You sacrificed your family for b simone i watched you over the years always supporting her & having her back you taught her alot as well # How b simone is she seem like a selfish individual 🤡🚮🤷♀️ but Meghan keep up the good work I pray everything work out in your favor 👏👏👏👏🙏❣
Go jay ok icu being the MAN US SISTERS LOVING JORDAN FOR HAVING A HEART ❤️ FOR CHILDREN AND THE BABY BOY WOW U GUYS ROCKS TRUE FRIENDSHIP BECAUSE CHRIST JESUS IS THE FOUNDATION THATS WHY THIS GOOD❤️
I cant be the only one that thought that Megan and Jordan were related. I thought they were cousins or something love their bond and support they give each other
@meganashley I love your podcast. I just started listening and the topics make me think ask questions and journal more. I've been on a quest on learning when I've heard from the Lord. It's been challenging tbh. How do you know when you've heard from the Lord?
Proud of you Megan ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for everything Megan
this was GOOOOOD. Thanks for sharing!
Loved this 🙏🏽🩷💙
Jordon is her caregiver of her children ❤
I just love this podcast!😊🫶🏾
Yes more about🙂🙌🏾
I dont know if Megan is fully aware of the kind of impact she has had. I watched know for sure from the first episode to the last, and Megan’s ability to know how to incorporate God into every conversations planted a seed in me to just develop so much curiosity to know God. I went through the most intense heartbreak last year, and if it wasnt for that seed Megan, idk if I wouldve reached out to God and started to read my bible to help get me through it.
So thank you Megan, give yourself the credit you deserve 🤍
To God be glory 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
💯💯💯
That was great 💯 ❤❤❤❤
I was so waiting on this!!!
This right here is an inspiration
