EP 3: Divine Communication Pt 2 (Ft Tony Gaskins)

What happens when the complexities of relationships, the influence of societal norms, and the trials of faith collide? Brace yourself as Tony Gaskin and I take a deep dive into the heart of these issues. We tackle the challenges of early marriage and parenthood, unravelling the importance of personal growth, maturity, and understanding one's responsibilities before stepping into such life-altering commitments.
In an earnest discussion on men's mentality, we voice concerns about the objectification of women, fueled by society's obsession with pornography and the twisted validation that some men seek. We further navigate through the maze of balancing faith, relationships, and material success. Sharing personal experiences, we emphasize setting a positive example and finding the right timing and balance in life.
As we expose the raw reality of our spiritual warfare, the feeling of being unprepared for God's calling, we convey one important message - God qualifies us. Navigating through the pain of breakups and relationship strains, we anchor our hearts towards God, highlighting the transformative power of trusting in Him.
Other topics you will hear:
-Relationships
-Societal Norms
-Accountability
-Self-discipline
-Marriage
-Spiritual Warfare
-Heart Posture
-Objectification
-Personal Motivations

Megan don't sell yourself short. You were a Mom and wife at 24 and you did the best you could and that's okay. Hindsight is 2020 and life is life. No matter the age or stage of life, it was going to be challenging. You did what you wanted to do. Take your lessons and your success and move forward. You're good!!!

[@ricardomayo8337]

Agreed. There are people in similar places that have given up on themselves. Sometimes the mind plays tricks, but when we recognize our space and what God is comfortable with, we have a share responsibility that is much greater. Good job!

[@Casminjenee]

You should bring Jackie Hill Perry on *this* channel … I think that would an in-depth powerful conversation. Keep the momentum going from this one 💕💕.

[@chassbcurlss]

Agreed

Yes!!!! They can really do deeper.

Yes, I think they can really deep dive more than they could on KFS

This is ordained by God. Nothing less. The ones that know , know.

[@Tasheba_Brown]

Biblically, boys weren't considered old enough to fight in war until they were 20 years old. Jesus didn't start his ministry until his 30s. I hope that gives some perspective. I believe that the first 30 years of our lives is for preparation, learning, and building a firm foundation in the Lord.

[@godsglory1921]

Jesus didn't start his journey until thirty because all priests start priesthood at 30.

[@gogoldiego]

Wise observation, thank you.

[@gogoldiego]

​@@godsglory1921well that proves the point even more.

[@hellothere8347]

thank you for that perspective

[@aceazar2806]

Amen brother!

[@ArinsSecret]

He’s a good friend, he’s asking the hard questions, holding Meg accountable and making her AND us think. I also love that Megan is being honest about her part in her marriage not working. Sometimes we only talk about what the other person did, but not what we did that ended a relationship.

[@breianafrance8634]

Love your insight!

[@mommyandreign]

One of the many things I truly respect about Megan Ashley is that you can tell she really thinks about what she’s saying before she says it. And I appreciate that. Because it is so easy for us to just say what we want, how we want, etc. but to really be aware of what you’re saying is not a trait lot of people carry.

[@mintyc8741]

This is something I intend to be mindful of thank you fir this comment

[@_TajaNaja]

His wisdom and calmness when he speaks is so amazing. I loved this so much! Thank you Meg!

[@TR-hn6qj]

Megan try not to filter your words just because of the internet. The internet is going to do and be what it is, speak YOUR truth!!

[@EricahXOXO]

Exactly this! The world is desperate for the truth.

[@dees7994]

Thanks Ash! You’re obedience is like a medicine to many. I pray God’s blessing over Tony’s beautiful wife and children as he intercedes on the behalf of so many. I would love to see him and his wife do a Q & A with a panel of single Christian men & women young and not young. Love y’all ❤

[@HEROPENEDTHOUGHT]

😭😭 this podcast is anointed MY GOD 😩 Jesus thank you!!!!

[@moniquecowan1315]

Girl! The light and calling over this channel. I am so excited for her new journey

[@courtneycoates-by7ti]

I appreciate the fluidity that Megan carries herself with. It’s so relatable and authentic. Tony has been one of my favorite guests since the first time on KFS.

[@tawanaevans814]

When he said God said go get my daughter I got chills. This is amazing and I love it ❤

[@jenniferclark9020]

Omg it's the way Tony just sits and listen. If that's not something we desire as humans. I love this for Meg!!

[@breianafrance8634]

Before I even scrolled through the comments, I thought this. That is an extremely admirable trait in a man, one that I highly value

[@coleenburke3270]

Megan. It is in your incompleteness that God can be magnified and receive the glory. If we are "complete" there is absolutely no room for Him. Your reverence and fear of the Lord IS what qualifies you. Please know that. I was introduced to you when Tony visited your last podcast. I could tell you were really thoughtful and intentional with your words which reflects what you expressed in this episode, that you understand the weight of your platform and the ways in which you can influence and inspire others. I could never finish another episode after Tony's because of all the cursing and careless behavior from the other host and subsequent guests. Soon after, you created this podcast and I can tell you this is ordained. I have watched every episode and was even waiting for this one. We know you are still learning and growing in Christ and that is okay. Let us take the journey with you.

[@kgodsgirl]

I so can relate. I wanted or thought I wanted kids and marriage so bad when I was young so I did that with no understanding of what it takes to be a mother or a wife. I thank God for healing and restoration. I pray that my adult kids can forgive me for not having the tools that I needed to be a better mother. Today God is my everything ❤

[@Lifeontheshelf]

This❤

[@jasmineperkins291]

If "say it with your chest" was a person, it'll be Tony Gaskins. I appreciate his consistency, authenticity, and overall submission to the will of God. This was a great episode.

[@REIRRAAAA]

Idk about everyone else but YES!! TONY PLEASE COME BACK AGAIN!! I love seeing God move. And Megan please let God use you. You are in this position for a reason. Prays him in the midst of your pain bc that’s where his biggest masterpieces are made!! I felt this in my heart when you and B started that last podcast. You hold him in your heart fr and it shows. Not to compare it’s just discernment. Stay blessed & beautiful 🥺💓🙌🏽

[@justoneJoyce]

I LOVEEEE THIS WOMAN! She’s really like a big sis! And her growth is beautiful to see 🙏🏽😍

[@polescodes]

Hey, I was a dancer, I literally was a paid therapist. I am now in Cyber Security and what’s crazy is, I am literally getting hired for the skills that made men sit and talk to me for hours. Yes many men have to pay for conversation but I’m happy I was delivered. I don’t even date men who attend.

[@mesha_gardner]

I’m happy for you Miss lady ❤❤❤ keep going on your journey☺️ . I been thinking about getting into cyber security myself btw 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@polescodes]

@@mesha_gardner do it!!! It’s the best decision I made outside of accepting Jesus into my heart while stripping. He literally helped me study at work and I was in tech in less than a year! I made close to 200k and I work from home. I truly think he wants more women of color here!

[@RhodeSay]

This blessed me. I laughed. I cried. I was convicted. BUT I believe Christ Jesus has a greater purpose for me than what I can see. Thank you for this episode, Megan and Tony.

[@kimdash444]

Megan…your light is shining bright. When we start losing people we question how/why don't you want me/friendship/my love at that very moment know that God is answering our prayers. It's God’s will.

[@IdeaMichele]

45:31 Whew 😰 When Tony said ‘No one sees anything of you other than servanthood, other than grace, other than poise. so you are putting your grace up for crucifiction and you’re removing grace from your life.” “But what you see in you is often times what what the adversary is trying to make you to believe.” Gracious! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Eboni-J]

"We are not putting a mirror in the face of society." Oooooh!!! This is SO necessary!!! No one wants to self-reflect or or self-correct!!! We'd much rather deflect 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@literallykiera5230]

Put a seat with Tony’s name on it, please and thank you! 🙏

[@IdeaMichele]

When she said ‘I feel like I have to be complete to be useful’ I felt so understood!

[@keishamckenzie649]

Listen to me ...Tony is speaking the Truth especially when he address the way this generation is so perverted!! And the way he affirms and encourages Megan as a man to go forth and believe in herself is so amazing. Megan stand in the purpose and position that Yahweh has planted you in... You're doing so well. Will be watching in totality!

[@kyeashapeterson398]

Meagan Ashley said she wasn’t intending on doing this by herself but God is with me and brung her closer by doing it alone 👏🙏🏾 Powerful!!! God knew what he was doing with putting in the public eye. You also did the best you could being married at such young age. Every lesson is a blessing ! Great episode keep going !!!! #MeaganAshley💜💕🙌

[@cynthia-jo1zz]

Me at 25 i had a complete breakdown..my brain fully developed at 27. GOD bless and protect young ladies

[@arieldorsey2488]

To address your heart posture worship … it will position you properly 💜

[@clementineslaughter6904]

You are absolutely right. Rejoice in the Lord always! Instead of a spirit of heaviness, put on the garment of praise!

[@elizabethcabello]

I watched your podcast with JHP and then your channel came up. I saw your first video, and within the first minute I was like “yep, she gets it.” The authenticity is oozing. So refreshing. That’s the word. You are refreshing!!!

[@cokolove3152]

I’ve been waiting since last week for this episode, you definitely left us hanging sis…rooting for you…look at your supporters…please continue to be a light….God has appointed you for a time such as this!!!🙏🏽💜🥰

[@massielmartinez1579]

You got this Megan- I literally count down every week. You have helped me with my journey with god so much- you’re so special ❤

[@zerandrianmorris]

He’s on it with his analysis of men performing for other men. I just feel like him saying it’s because they want another man, dilutes where he could go with what he’s saying. It flattens it. Because the male-for-male performance is so much more robust than merely “they go both ways”. I need him to expand his mind to see the depths of what is really happening between men. It’s not merely sexual desire. That’s not even the core of it.

[@Lokelexx]

What would you say it is then? If you are a male performing for male applause at the expense of protecting and loving your woman; what is the purpose of this thought process?

[@benzbodyambassadors7206]

I agree. That can be the case for some but most it’s more mental/emotional. Daddy issues, authority issues, overcompensating for insecurities, trauma. hate for women/mothers/sisters/exes. And the also self disdain or lack of self worth.

[@briiibonita]

Yessss we want Tony to come back! You both are such a blessing!

[@Surrender_all_2Yah]

I'm praying that you and B can rebuild and reconcile. I love the power that was over y'all don't let the enemy win. Love you. Godspeed. And bless you for your obedience. 🤎🙏🏾

[@Redlipz_chick]

Whew! This episode was deep and came with so much revelation. God said be fruitful and multiply, and the enemies attack against humanity is this perversion that leads to the division of men and women. Marriage rate low. Child bearing rates dropping. What does this all ultimately mean? We are not being who God created us to be. 🤯🤯

[@XavierCooperTV]

This is a wise man

[@leogirl825]

thank you for keeping flowing in your purpose and listening to God.

[@e.awshanae4373]

Wowwwww Megan! Yessss I’m so happy you’re surrounded by people who speak life. This just set the tone! Anybody trying to tear you down or speak negatively about this TREAD LIGHTLY!

[@Tori.Talks9]

So I finally watched this episode “in totality” and oh my gosh! Bestie! God has a HUGE anointing on your life and I am here for it all! God bless you and I am so thankful for this podcast!

[@tiamoniique]

Let the Godly men Speak🗣

[@lovenikcamille]

I love this podcast already these conversations are needed and Matter Tony needs a podcast too tired of the car videos give us MORE 😂😂❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@mayalashon7632]

The i can feel my heart turning is soo spot on to my walk rn, I heard a word from a prophet your soul ( will, mind, emotions) will be pulled in either the direction of the Spirit or the Flesh. May we all yield to the Holy Spirit and be pulled in His direction

[@Destiniee333]

DEFINITELY would love to see more of Tony please😩 , Tony so raw and uncut !

[@Yesimchanel]

lol i love how transparent he is!!! He said that would be considered a psychopath 😂

[@victoriaknowsbest]

Loved this, can't wait for you to bring Tony Gaskins back!

[@makaya_nichols]

BRING HIM BACK! this was an amazing podcast!

[@kylabreezy]

4:25 I truly appreciate his patience in allowing her to get her thoughts together and speak uninterrupted. Idk why that really stood out to me! 😂 🤣 😂

[@iamchristineverified1293]

Tony be dropping sooooo much wisdom lately 🙌🏾 funny too😂

[@Love_Toyah]

Watching this 5 month old video for the first time and comparing it to recent conversations and episodes she’s having now , you can definitely see Megan’s spiritual growth . This walk with God really is a journey ♥️ God is so good

[@breianafrance8634]

Praise God! Yes He is! I completely agree ❤ and God bless you😊

[@kendrajanell]

Very thought provoking and real. Love the journey you’re on, and love that you have Tony in your corner. Would love to see him on more episodes as a mentor/brother/friend as you walk through this new chapter of your life. You have the RIGHT questions and he has the right responses. I know this is Kingdom work. Best to you both!

[@ceotrinaaa]

I sooo thankful Megan kept the podcasting going ! I love hearing her speak!🫶🏿

I love seeing you become who you are going to be. A powerful messenger of JC❤🙏 Proud of you Sis💯

[@brittbianca25]

Tapping in because I love what you’re bringing. I feel like your content is relatable, authentic, & God ordained. This is more my speed & I appreciate your obedience. I feel like you have so much to bring & this is only the beginning 🤞🏾❤

[@diyashajones]

WHEW THIS IS THE ONE! Especially getting to the niddy gritty of "we project how we see ourselves" whew. Embracing the newness of walking in obedience WITH God.

[@1515bre]

Found your channel not too long ago and I am loving the conversations that you are having! I grew up as a Christian and going to church but had no real relationships with Jesus Christ. I’m taking my walk with Him now and the peace that I feel sometimes is overwhelming! I can’t stop now and I wouldn’t want to! God bless you Megan for creating such open discussions like this with Tony. ❤🙏🏾

[@YaBoyNick21]

When Ashley said “Anchor yourself” and looked at the camera… the chills of the Holy Spirit that came over me!!!! This was AMAZING

[@Thatgirlmoee_]

[@moniquecowan1315]

Meg, we truly have the same story. I graduated HS in June and married in December. Then pregnant shortly after.

[@Healing_on_a_bluecouch_]

Hey Megan, Sis we are human we will never be complete, whether in healing or in growing, like you said it's a process, I know this speaking from experience. Don't hold yourself and respond with action to the service you need to bring to the world... You heal in the process and you continue finding yourself, talking from experience. Love you❤

[@uvyhtybhhhhhuhhjjjjj]

Love that God is the center and driving this conversation. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Eagerly looking forward to the next. You got this Megan! As you said...God's will.

[@arionnacarter1427]

Megan, your strength, obedience, and vulnerability inspires me in more ways than one. I am truly grateful for this podcast because it has helped me get closer to God. Thank you

[@raen2806]

44:14-44:24 CHEFS KISS! Megan, you have no clue these 2 episodes have confirmed so many prayers and convos ive had with God recently, even within the whole year. This is a beautiful pod so far and i cant wait for more! Thank you, thank you THANK YOU 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

Megan you were called for this. 🙏🏽 I admire you and your content so much. So so proud of you.🫶🏽💗

[@EriBeauty]

I now understand why I was (blindly) waiting to watch this. I wasn't ready. I'm in a place in my life that I know I'm being called and some of the decisions that I have to make are super hard and so scary. Its time though. Thank you thank you for speaking on double minded-ness. because you truly cannot have your cake and eat it too. Its Gods way or no way. Period.

[@moniquesmith1001]

I absolutely loved this ❤

[@Zoe.Chosen]

This was insanely impactful 😭❤️❤️ Thank you both

[@user-tf4xs8de9w]

❤ This conversation 😢spoke to my heart, soul, and spirit. I had two child by the age of 24yrs old my first at 19yrs old and I'm 43yrs old now. I cannot tell you Megan how much this has blessed me. I am praying 🙏🏽 my testimony to glorify Gods Name.

[@ShaeB13]

In order for God to get the Glory, in these times, how we grow and learn will help others which helps you grow more. That’s why we should trust how Heavenly Father and have a real relationship because in those times of uncertainty in the growing, he gives the answer or the “process”. When we were form in the womb, he knew us. He has the answer. Jesus is the process. Follow him.

[@ashleylewis6347]

I’m so happy to see part 2! I’ve been watching Tony Gaskins all week and I’m happy to see the next part of the convo 😁
