Join me Megan Ashley and Preston Perry poet, author, teacher, apologist and evangelist from Chicago. By the grace of God, Preston has become a formidable communicator of the gospel. His love for people inspires him to pair transparency and vulnerability with his creativity in a way that promotes freedom.
The fabric of modern faith is complex, and we're unraveling it thread by thread. We tackle the state of the church and its societal implications, the indispensable role of discipleship, and the nuanced challenges of apologetics within the black community. Join us as we dissect the balance between wrath and love in understanding God, and how our struggles can fortify hope and endurance. Preston's personal anecdotes and theological musings promise to illuminate and challenge your perspectives.
In this episode, we're not just talking about faith-we're experiencing its transformative power. Preston's upcoming book, "How to Tell the Truth: The Story of How God Saved Me to Win Hearts--Not Just Arguments," is a testament to the universal call of discipleship across cultures. Be inspired by tales of growth and authenticity in one's faith journey, and remember, these stories are about winning hearts, not just arguments. Thank you for being with us; now let the power of this conversation resonate in your own spiritual walk.

I loved the part where Preston said: "Boldness is not doing what men are afraid to do, boldness is about obedience. Boldness is about being obedient to God more than it is about being fearless before men." Like WOW!! That is so true 💯 Obedience is truly better than sacrifice

@terra7156 29 дней назад

As an occupational therapist who loves God and work with kids with disabilities, I had the same questions about salvation for people with disabilities. The more I get to know God and work with these children, I see there is hope here on earth and in eternity for people with disabilities. They just need us to meet them and love them where they are at right now🤍 Psalms 139:13-14

@JaeC444 29 дней назад

Also the Bible says that God is a just God. God would not be just in sending mentally delayed individuals to hell just because they don’t maneuver & respond the way we do. There are seeds sown in them just like us. His mercies renew every day and he is a good God!! Dope pod ❤

@newcreationscounseling_ 28 дней назад

One thing God showed me was that evil was never created , Evil is just the absence Of Good(which only GOD is good) Same as darkness! Darkness was never created . Darkness is just the absence of Light . This was great . May God continue to use you all as the light and salt of this world . 🙏🙏

@N-LeeSonSay 28 дней назад

Not me over here crying because like Megan my son is on the spectrum and I am perpetually concerned about my son's salvation. But I know that while I believe God is helping my unbelief. PLUS talk about purpose - my son has made me learn the Bible more. He knows so many bible verses. God is Sovereign

Whewww Preston hit me upside my head when he said “if you want to know if you’re not worshipping something then give it up” I never thought I worshipped money or my job but def see now cause I def struggle giving up those things and letting God to have full range in those areas. I cannot know that God is truly Jireh if I can’t trust that he will provide my monetary needs…wheww Preston just made me self reflect! Got some work to do!

@wellwateredwomen_official 25 дней назад

The part about Preston and John going at it to prove whether Jesus is God or not remind me of Nabeel Quereshi and David Wood. Nabeel, a devout Muslim lived to devour Christians intentionally seeking to prove we don't worship God. He eventually converted and became a leading apologist for Christianity David was able to defend his faith accurately. His story is very inspiring.

@askNatasha82 27 дней назад

1:06:43 ya’ll done messed around and got me crying. My 5 year old is autistic and delayed. But I see glimmers of hope in him that confirm my hope. He struggles to speak but I can see him looking and trying. He sings some worship songs that he enjoys. He welcomes the nightly prayers and Bible stories. I have hope, but most importantly I look for every little win and am grateful when they come. And I’ve learned to praise and worship even when he’s having his meltdowns. He’s taught me to trust that God will make a way when I don’t even see one because he is a good Father and an awesome God. Thank you for sharing your experience because it builds the community of parents that have children with special needs. ❤

Hey sis! As a believer with a deaf aunt, I’ve seen so many deaf people accept Jesus Christ as their savior with their hands, with their eyes when they couldn’t with their words out their mouth. I share this for additional encouragement and hope.

@McMercedes22 28 дней назад

I'm blessed to be at a church where they do that. Fellowship, come together and do life together and diciplship. The more I hear how uncommon it is the more I grow in gratitude toward Jesus for directing my path to a body who truly lives for Him and builds Christians up in a Eternity mindset. Praise God ❤

@IhvJoY259 28 дней назад

I'm currently praying and searching for that as well. At my current church which I've attending for years alot has happened. My pastor recently filed for divorce without explanation. Just a few Sundays ago has wrongfully used Acts as a warning to the people for those who he heard has gossiped about him. Literally said he's trying to scare the people. Which the text he used was speaking about the man and wife for lying to the Holy Spirit about the money they kept and died because of it. Smh That was the final straw for me. I feel uncomfortable in going.

@Naswillshine 29 дней назад

Yes!!!! Discipleship is LOST!

@jalissalabria8576 29 дней назад

When I tell you this is confirmation, I asked God why is Discipleship being HIGHLIGHTED to me God , I felt an urgency in the spirit but I couldn’t understand it so I just prayed about it because I knew NOTHING about discipleship! Thank God for the gift of knowledge 🙏🏾‼️

@Naswillshine 29 дней назад

@@jalissalabria8576I agree. Knowledge is definitely a gift. I remember when I was saved and preparing for baptism, you get that discipleship class. Other than that you don’t really hear about it. It’s something that is needed at all stages of the walk. I even believe if certain people that publicly professed Jesus had discipleship, they would’ve still be in the fold because transformation could’ve taken place (Kanye, but that’s another story).

This was awesome. I’m so grateful y’all addressed culture differences & how limited resources generationally have impacted people of color. I’ve been wrestling with God about this a lot recently. But nevertheless, it’s just another reason to praise Him for your platform & leadership!! Thank y’all & can’t wait to see what Preston & Jackie are up to next.

@AngelasTravelAdventures 29 дней назад

Can we get the book recommendation list you all discussed? As someone who also was raised in the church, things have changed so much. I can say, if you go to a church and you are not convicted to change your life, you probably shouldn't be there. Meaning, you should be uncomfortable living in sin when you go there, the word of God is powerful and when it's taught properly, it convicts your heart and you have to change.

@shini2881 28 дней назад

He is greater teacher for sure. Additionally i know some SA survivors may have some hurt ab what he said but I hope they focus in and really hear what Preston is truly saying which is God truly is a fair God and wants us to ALL to change and do right by him. I am still processing my SA but with God I’ve forgave the person who did it and I hope Jesus gets to his heart, so I hear you P!!! Also, your wife and you need to come to sac and or bay are for the tour plz !

@roxannewright421 22 дня назад

This is my first time I’ve been able to see Preston as Preston and not Jackie’s husband. By default (because I came to know of her first, a her testimony helped me a lot), I always tied him with her. But man, this really opened my eyes to recognise the wonderful difference between them. This was so divine. Man oh, is God always on time. And Megan knew just the right questions to ask. Bless your heart. ❤ I hope everyone who comes across this comment just remember that God loves you.

Lord Jesus please 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’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.❤️❤️
