I can’t physically afford counseling and therapy, but when I tell you Megan’s podcast has helped me feel seen and not alone in so many situations that has occurred in my life. This thing called life and walk with God is so difficult. But in the end it’ll all be worth it. Thank you In totality for the weekly therapy sessions 🥹.
“We learn obedience through suffering.” Is sooo true i’ve never wanted to be christ like to now. Losing my fiance at 32, 3 days before my birthday. Started dating a year and a half later then lost my boyfriend just when I finally found happiness again.. Now giving my life fully to God
I’m so sorry for your losses I can relate! I’m working through losing my mother & sister about 90 days apart in 2024 it has PUSHED me towards the father!
The part where she said " he wants to get the impurities off of it, so that when he looks at it, he can see himself"... I felt that, it made me feel nauseous 🥺🫨🤒
The amount of gems in this. I don't even know where to start. This is awesome. We have become so complacent. We are sleeping. But we not hopeless we just need to open our bibles and get to knowing God.
1:21:48 “you should be grateful that you still have access to your tears” 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨🥺🥹😭 I felt that. Before I gave my life to Christ, I hadn’t cried in about four years. I felt like my heart didn’t matter, and my emotions were a burden to carry and so I crammed them down into the depths of me. When I encountered Christ at 19, He opened up the floodgates. 😅 i’m so grateful that I am able to cry, not only for the things that I get emotional about in my life, but the Lord has softened my heart to be empathetic towards others too. Something that I never imagined I’d be able to do. I’m so grateful for the gift of tears, because those tears keep my heart soft and are caught by the one true God each and every time.
"It's not that you didn't get the lesson, He's looking for Him"... My God on this day! I've asked God this question so many times, and that response is now a tool that I can use to suffer well!
Maaaan! When Dr. Lyons was explaining the process of gold refinery…I could literally picture God dipping us, bringing us up, examining us, and putting us back in if necessary🙌🏾🙌🏾continuing that process until we look like him!!!!!! Help us to suffer well in the process! I wanna look like my Father!!!! Glory!!!!!
Dr. Sarita where have you been all my life wooooow my God...This WOG of God is necessary for these times. I need this book ASAP. Ya'll went there went there.... I nearly threw my phone... Love the aesthetics 💞 💞
Whew! When Meg broke down about being tested with the same test, I felt that wholeheartedly. I had to shed tears myself. I appreciate every episode. Dr. Sarita Lyons has a gift of articulating so much and her spirit is so welcoming. Thank you ladies ❤️
When the doctor started to explain the process of the goldsmith, there was a stillness that only came from the Holy Spirit in my room. I'm so grateful 🙏
So I’m 3 minutes in. I came here after watching Dr Lyons Acts 242 sermon. I’m pleasantly surprised at how ‘introverted’ she sounds here but she’s such a powerhouse and speaks with such authority when she preaches. I like this contrast so much for some reason.
This was an eye-opening interview. I love how Dr. Lyons words things and shows us how to see ourselves differently and to see God differently. I will definitely watch this again so I can get my life all over again. Truly remarkable.
Lord! bless these two wonderful woman that come together to shed light on the fact that you matters the most and that us black women look to you because that’s where our substance lies. Let other women to be bold and confident in you, Amen ❤
I have listened to this episode twice and I think it is one of the best so far. Girl, God has his hand on you and I am so grateful that you are allowing him to use you in this way. Rev. Dr. Sarita T. Lyons..... PUT.It.DOWN!!! I think I'ma listen again tonight.
I love Dr Sarita! If she sees this comment, I watch all your videos. Youre a beautiful person inside and out!! Thank you for your work and dedication to our lord and savior Jesus Christ. 💜💜
Another good episode. I want to say thank you to Megan Ashley, and B Simone. You both is smart and I have nothing but the best wishes for you both. Whatever God got in store for you, You deserve every bit of it. Way to go! We love you.
I really do enjoy your podcast, it’s really encouraging. Stay strong in the LORD Meg. You’re so compassionate that’s why you cry and that’s a good quality. Keep doing the good work ❤
This healed so many parts of me today… you women are amazing. Thank you for this and both of your wisdom and vulnerability! I am an Italian/white woman and found this so so encouraging… I relate with growing up full of pain and suffering so much. In poverty, abuse, depression, heart break, ect… this was such an amazing video to watch for anyone going through it had gone through any of those things. Thank you for your obedience.
27:55 has been me. I literally know God brought me or is bringing me through, yet I say I’m going to not listen to that sermon, read my Bible or wake up and pray and spend time with Him. 45:35 whewww! I never thought about it from that perspective . Sometimes we don’t know we’re blessed with the suffering we have because it could be a more intense battle. 1:19:02 “You sleeping but you ain’t resting‼️”
Your podcast is life giving. It’s just a different and necessary feel. Megan please allow him to continue to use you for his glory. There is purpose in your pain. I got those words when I lost my mom, dad and several others.
I have watched quite a few interviews with Dr. Lyons. She is truly a gift to the kingdom. Each interview has been great and this one is no exception. No, one talks about the Refiner’s Fire. This conversation immediately sent me to Malachi for a study. Great job!
This was a great and welll needed conversation, especially for those of us who have been in a very long suffering season. I often say that the narrow road is a difficult road. It’s hard! And yet, God is still merciful and good.
Lord Mrs. Sarita whew 😮💨😮💨😮💨 this episode here was well needed. But that journal prompt definitely slaps me right in my mouth but I needed to hear that so thank you 🙏🏽
What a powerful interview! Mrs. Lyons speak on truth no matter what it feels like. Her voice is like milk & honey her voice alone gives you encouragement
COME ON 31:00-31:20!!!🥲 Some people are dying/suffocating in church, while E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E thinks they are a breath of fresh air!" Although you can't see me- I feel so heard and so seen in that statement. I really just want to be pleased by God and continue to give Him my Yes 🙏🏽🤍🎁☦🕊 EDIT: I HAD to come back and edit. Because I'm rejoicing at 42:05-48:05 🌟My big sister LITERALLY just planted this seed to me, on Monday🎉🙌🏾 Thank you Yeshua☦
Megan Ashleeeyy!! Thank you for the work that you do and the people you and your team bring to this channel, you edify us in so many ways. May God bless you and keep you sister🤍
I thank God Megan, for what the Lord is doing through you regarding suffering, coz it's something that is not talked about anymore in the church globally.... Be encouraged and know that you have sisters and brothers who are going through the same thing as you are ❤❤❤
I was literally reading Exodus 35 last night and was wondering/studying about why rest is so important to God. I was even on my way to work this morning with this question still in mind. This gave me another understanding. ❤
I just want to say you are amazing Megan. I have watched multiple videos of yours and I must say their wonderfully made as well as everyone who has featured. Please continue to do what your doing . You are an inspiration 😊
So thankful for both of your voices!!! Such a good conversation and very much needed. I seriously could have listened for another hour and would have wanted to join in!!! Now I’m really looking forward to reading Dr. Sarita’s book!!!
In my opinion this is the best episode for me, this episode touched me in places I didn’t know I needed to hear, this episode was so educational for me especially when talked about suffering and why God continues to let us suffer over and over in the same place, just wow. Really enjoyed this episode a lot 💕💕
I had to send this to myself for reference. “They left rejoicing that they could suffer for Christ” that was a word! And a word I needed! I appreciated this interview. Thank you Ms. Ashley and Ms. Lyons. ❤
Jesus give me strength I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I often face challenges that can seem insurmountable especially with raising two children with special needs. I won’t give up but Lord I’m so discouraged. I’m trying to balance everything but Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children. Jesus hear my prayers and please continue to give me strength.💕❤️
Someone recently told me how important big brothers & sisters are in church & it’s so true but the way Dr.S is being a spiritual mother is so sweet and necessary too (I’m only 4 chpts in but GO GET THE BOOK)
JESUS!!!! "WANTING TO SEE GOD MOVE, BUT NOT WILLING TO GO THRU THE PAIN" GOOD GOD, THIS IS SOOOO ME IN MY CURRENT LOCATION ON THIS WALK WITH CHRIST!! WOW
My sister used to play this song like everyday and it was also her ring tone. I used to get upset because i wasn't saved. I'm here singing along to the song thanking my God for salvation. I'm saved
“pain try to rename you” Jesus I’m waiting while I’m at work working and wow I’m so so so full right now. I literally want to take off running…. To God be all the glory at this moment I feel seen. I’m not angry sad and finally I’m not hurt
I'm glad you touched on suffering because I'm one of those who really shy away from suffering... Dr. Lyons thoughts on it is really eye opening. Looking forward to a continuation on that topic
Wooooo the part about the reason why God had to crush Jesus! ❤❤❤my God! We have to look at pain and struggle so differently when you know the Word 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You should thank god you still have access to your tears whew. We don’t rest or less we are resting with God whew So many 💎 gems Great episode Thanks Meg❤
OOOWEEEEE OH GLORY ALL GLORY BE TO GOD! You are timely Father God, creator of all things! The word be toooo good I can’t fathom Him. Thank yall for shedding light on suffering cause dang I just learned this same lesson for the last few months Lord🤣🤣🤣🙏🏽❤️📖✝️ but I accept your word Lord even when I don’t understand.
Hello Queen Meagan!! My youngest son graduated from HBCU Morehouse College two years ago!! Your son will probably enjoy the experience as well! Just teach him how to pray and keep himself covered with God's hedge of protection like any other circumstances in this life! Amen🙏🏽💯❤️❤️
“You don’t come to the Bible to find your 10 year plan. You come to the Bible to find God.” THAT PART!!!!
I can’t physically afford counseling and therapy, but when I tell you Megan’s podcast has helped me feel seen and not alone in so many situations that has occurred in my life. This thing called life and walk with God is so difficult. But in the end it’ll all be worth it. Thank you In totality for the weekly therapy sessions 🥹.

You can check your insurance to see what they cover. Also, there a places that take the un-insured and under insured people for mental health services

This is heavy and I pray the peace above all understanding heals and hugs your broken heart ❤
I’m so sorry for your losses I can relate! I’m working through losing my mother & sister about 90 days apart in 2024 it has PUSHED me towards the father!
@ I’m sorry 😞
Im a cryer too, so when you cry I cry with you Megan. 😂😭 Dr Sarita is right when she said we should be grateful to still have tears.
The part where she said " he wants to get the impurities off of it, so that when he looks at it, he can see himself"... I felt that, it made me feel nauseous 🥺🫨🤒
The amount of gems in this. I don't even know where to start. This is awesome. We have become so complacent. We are sleeping. But we not hopeless we just need to open our bibles and get to knowing God.

This might be one of the best episodes I’ve seen other than Mason, Eric or Jackie Perry or Preston Perry. This was Fire.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
When the doctor started to explain the process of the goldsmith, there was a stillness that only came from the Holy Spirit in my room. I'm so grateful 🙏
“Giving God your ‘yes’ doesn’t mean you give everybody your ‘yes’”
GIRL…. YES!!!! 🥳 You just released something in me! ✝️💞
I’m so glad Dr. Lyons is getting more attention. We need more biblical black women. I’ve visited Epiphany a few times when I lived up north
So I’m 3 minutes in. I came here after watching Dr Lyons Acts 242 sermon. I’m pleasantly surprised at how ‘introverted’ she sounds here but she’s such a powerhouse and speaks with such authority when she preaches. I like this contrast so much for some reason.

Agreed! I just said to myself I definitely have to watch this over again and take notes.

You gone let your pain define you or you gone God define you. Pain wants to change your name but God is the one who changes names.
Whhhhew she is preaching here! Her book is awesome as well- from what I’ve read so far
Dr. Sarita Lyons gon preach every single time. So convicting. Praise God!
I just started reading her book last night! I’m excited to watch this episode!
Another good episode. I want to say thank you to Megan Ashley, and B Simone. You both is smart and I have nothing but the best wishes for you both. Whatever God got in store for you, You deserve every bit of it. Way to go! We love you.
That was a word. The Lord refines us over and over again to see himself! AMEN!
I really do enjoy your podcast, it’s really encouraging. Stay strong in the LORD Meg. You’re so compassionate that’s why you cry and that’s a good quality. Keep doing the good work ❤

That part about how Heaven looks. It is decked out in gold and sounds like such a royal place that I want to be in forever🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This was a great and welll needed conversation, especially for those of us who have been in a very long suffering season. I often say that the narrow road is a difficult road. It’s hard! And yet, God is still merciful and good.
Lord Mrs. Sarita whew 😮💨😮💨😮💨 this episode here was well needed. But that journal prompt definitely slaps me right in my mouth but I needed to hear that so thank you 🙏🏽
This is soooo good. Being able to follow, really love God and be vulnerable enough to let him lead is so hard!
My God this was so good! Dr. Lyons is so fire!!! Thank you Megan Ashley for your transparency! You’re helping so many!
Watching all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 🙌.
What a powerful interview! Mrs. Lyons speak on truth no matter what it feels like. Her voice is like milk & honey her voice alone gives you encouragement
My book is on the way. Such a great conversation. Thank you Megan for allowing us to see your vulnerability ❤

Glory Dallas was life changing.
