Together, we delve into the essence of obedience, the trials of leadership, and the dance between human imperfection and the steadfastness of spiritual integrity.The thread of our conversation weaves through the complexities of mentorship within spiritual communities, the courage needed to confront truths that challenge societal norms, and the emotional landscapes navigated when making life-altering decisions. Brenda's story of renouncing sorority ties in favor of a deeper faith journey stands as a testament to the power of conviction and the importance of supportive friendships along the path. Our heart-to-heart illuminates the sacrifices that accompany authentic living and the pursuit of a life that faithfully mirrors one's beliefs.Other topics you will hear:-Spiritual Calling-Leadership-Faith -Betrayal -Divine Truth-Spiritual Mentorship-Integrity,-Courage-Spiritual Influence-Obedience-Sacrifice -Friendship-Covenant -StewardshipThanks to our Sponsors NPRListen now to Black Stories, Black Truths from NPR – wherever you get podcasts.Connect with us:  @immeganashleyWebsite: https://www.themeganashley.comCall me at 265-792-8819My Amazon Storefront:https://www.amazon.com/shop/immeganashley Youtube: In Totality  In Totality with Megan Ashley Is edited and produced by Idea to Launch PodcastsSign up for our PATREON for EXCLUSIVE access and additional:https://www.patreon.com/meganashleySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
