What does it truly mean to steward God's work with reverence? This week on In Totality with Megan Ashley Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell of 2819 Church in Atlanta joins us to explore the profound impact of spiritual growth and the challenges it brings. From his early days at Victory Church to his current role, Pastor Philip shares his journey of leadership, transformation, and humility, and his mission to make disciples. Together, we reflect on our formative years at Bible College, the intensity of our spiritual callings, and the urgency of spreading the gospel in a world racing against time. We also address the unique challenges of Atlanta's spiritual landscape, including the widespread influence of the neo-prosperity gospel.

Through personal stories and pivotal moments, we offer insights into discerning truth amid the noise, highlighting the importance of grounding our faith in God’s word. This episode includes personal accounts of suffering and healing, illustrating the complexities of the Christian journey. We discuss my transformative experience at a prayer service and touch on mental health struggles within the context of faith, exploring how community, love, and faith provide strength and hope.

Can faith transform your pain into a source of strength? Join me, Megan Ashley, as I share deeply personal stories and explore how trusting in God during life’s trials can lead to profound spiritual growth. In this episode of *In Totality*, I begin by expressing heartfelt gratitude to our listeners and sharing an honest account of my recent struggles, including the spiritual challenges I’ve faced while preparing for the Acts 242 conference, and a harrowing experience with a severe corneal abrasion. As I navigate these trials, I invite you into a deeper conversation about the love and support from my community, I explore the physical pain and emotional weight that comes with suffering, reflecting on scripture, particularly 2 Corinthians 4:16, to reveal how momentary afflictions can shape us spiritually. Together, we’ll uncover the power of scripture and the Holy Spirit in overcoming adversity, discovering how even in moments of deep suffering, we can find strength and hope. This episode is a reminder that, through unwavering trust in God and the intricate resilience of our bodies, there is a path to healing, endurance, and eternal glory."
