EP 2: Divine Communication Pt 1 (Ft Tony Gaskins)

Welcome back to another episode of 'In Totality.' This week, join Megan Ashley along with her first guest, Tony Gaskins, an inspirational male voice who has been a beacon of encouragement and motivation. In this exciting discussion, we tackle some tough but necessary questions about faith, relationships, and personal development.
We kicked off the conversation by addressing a query from a new Christian about understanding the Bible better. Tony's insightful suggestions on various translations, meditation, and using the Bible Chat app could serve as valuable guidance for those starting on their spiritual journey. Later, we draw a distinction between being inspired and being called and highlight the essential attributes of character and integrity in men. The discourse leads us to the topic of relationships, where we explore the significant role of a woman in a man's life and the importance of effective communication for the relationship's success.
We took a deep look at financial and emotional stability and how these factors can impact the dynamics within a relationship. Our conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing and understanding differences between partners to create a balanced and healthy relationship. Listen in as we share our experiences, provide insights, and explore complex concepts in an approachable manner. Tony's perspective on these matters is invaluable, making this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking enlightenment and guidance.
Other topics you will hear:
- Self-Growth
- Meditation
- Discipline
- Expensive Misery
- Financial and Emotional Stability
- Recognizing Differences
- Interdependence
- Effective Communication

I have started reading from the beginning and each morning before I start work I read before I start my day. I deleted IG and Facebook, and the extra time I have, I now read my Bible. I heard a wise pastor, Stephanie Ike say when you read and you don't understand something, ask God to help you understand it. What blew my mind is he will show me in a dream or my pastor will bring that very verse up on Sunday. When it first happened, it shocked me now I just feel so loved by God that he hears me. I say start from the beginning.

[@Monique670]

That’s Awesome, I need to start from the beginning too. It’s so hard saying consistent !

[@Ahshaybrownstone]

When I got serious about reading the Bible I used my physical dictionary to help me understand words because I wanted to know what they meant not what someone thought they meant

[@brownbabecc]

I need to try this out

[@perfectionreleased2113]

Wow this is such a good idea

[@mayalashon7632]

yess i ended up getting an app called the Blue Letter Bible App, it has the original hebrew and greek words in a concordance with the biblical definition of the word.

[@chimdichime]

Read the Greeks concordance, because the bible was originally written in Greek and Hebrew, so many English words the way we mean them is not actually how the bible intends them to be translated. The Greek concordance is the Bible's dictionary, when u use that if there is still a word in the greek concordance that u actually don't know the meaning of, ex. "consecrate" then you use a dictionary. In the greeks concordance 3 words in bible could refer to one thing and one word, can have 3 definitions to help you understand what is meant by it.

[@chimdichime]

The Strong's Concordance sorry

[@Tayrhe__]

Doing 80K within your first week on your own is so amazing! Congrats Megan ✨

[@Gracefullyblooming]

Love this chapter for Megan. For new Christians I recommend doing daily devotions in the morning, allowing God to set the tone for the day & at night read one chapter and ask God for the guidance, knowledge & wisdom while understand his word!

“Those who are called vs those who came”!

[@priscilla4901]

Great episode! You chose a great guess. That “Let a man’s character be his currency” had me clapping! Oh and Tony speaking on how he acutually LISTENS to his wife. So many men and husbands lack that humility to admit there wife has more knowledge than them in certain areas. The Bible says submit yourselves to ONE ANOTHER meaning husbands need to take listen to their wives wisdom and submit to her plans sometimes because it could save you a world of trouble and pain.

[@hellajassy]

Starting off strong!!!!!! We all rooting for you Meg! You were always the heart of kfs! It wasn't a set back it was a SETUP for something better! So happy and inspired by you continuing to move in YOUR purpose!! Praise God!

[@leticiadavis9517]

I can relate to the topic about being a single parent that have been divorced after 13 years of marriage and now in my season of growing my businesses and raising my kids keeps me so busy it’s like I don’t think about dating or have time to date because I am mentally, physically and emotionally tired at the end of the day from being a mother, teacher, business owner, the cook, the maid, Ms fix things around the house, Uber driver (driving kids to practice), lawn maintenance, accountant, counselor (listening to kids talking my ear off about school)…the list goes on and on..lol. But I know that eventually God will bless me with a help mate. He is out there. It’s just not my time to meet him yet.

[@victoryoverdefeat9714]

Wow so true… when God calls us to do something, 9/10 we don’t want to do it. That lets us know how important it is to yield more towards the direction of the Holy Spirt. ❤ This was such an intimate setting.. I don’t mind being vulnerable in settings like this.. especially if its leading me to Jesus Christ. ✝️

This conversation was absolutely nourishing, so soothing. I've watched it two times already. Not just empty words and talking points but conversation based on God's word. Keep on going Megan Ashley, u are already doing the damn (sorry Lord🤦) thang!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@DreaKay]

Let’s talk about it! Being inspired by stuff COULD have you out here outside of the will of God operating in selfish ambition. Being called to something is ALWAYS outside of your comfort zone but it’s confirmation to what God keeps showing you! Not me being in a role where I’m learning about finance and technology coming out of Entrepreneurship and Course creation. Jesus be having us out here pursuing destiny when we finally get in alignment with HIS WILL! Best advice is to surrender to his will and let go of yours.

[@rosalynhayes2369]

I’m going through my spiritual journey now…it’s a process for me. ❤

[@ari5888]

@ 50:44, FACTS!! My Ex and I had relationships with God individually but not foundationally at the core of our relationship. There was definitely a war of wills, the stance was thinking “this is just who I am, don’t try to change me” forgetting that the word of God tells us to be continually renewed in our minds daily-NOT stay the same.

[@frnnyj]

I'm just so thankful that God has placed Megan in my life path. Even if it's virtually, because with every word that is being said from her, I can feel it. Thank you, God, for your daughter Megan. & to Megan. Thank you for your courage 🙏🏽 from one human being to another❤️
