This week we’re back with Part 2! Join me Megan Ashley as I delve back into a heart-to-heart with our special guest Norris Johnson, an Instagram influencer with a radiant spiritual presence. Listen in as we explore the sacred act of self-reflection and the spiritual significance of facing our flaws in privacy, away from the scrutiny of the public eye. The journey of personal introspection can be confronting, but there is profound value in allowing God to illuminate our shortcomings in solitude, saving us from the potential embarrassment of public exposure. This private surrender isn't just about acknowledging our imperfections; it's about dying to our desires and living a life that embodies Christ's teachings, a theme that resonates deeply through our discussion on the true meaning of sacrifice and holiness.

In our conversation, we also address the challenges of finding intimacy with God amidst the chaos of our personal dysfunctions, drawing parallels to the disruptive nature of vices like addiction and the way they can sever our connection to the divine. Sharing personal anecdotes, including a reflection on the impact of a praying mother, we unpack the concept of spiritual 'death'—the idea that we must become impervious to pride and the temptations of retaliation to maintain a Christ-like demeanor. This theme is woven into our examination of the transformative power of embracing a spiritual death, allowing Christ to live within us, and how this aligns with biblical teachings of sacrifice and service.
