- Join me Megan Ashley on an extraordinary exploration with the amazing Brenda Palmer as we uncover the diverse manifestations of spiritual callings and the crucibles of faith. Brenda, who has navigated a remarkable journey from the pews of Chicago to the media studios of LA, sits down to share her transformative experiences, including the personal betrayals that reshaped her understanding of divine and human nature. 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.

Yessss ❤
“Don’t walk away from God because someone is human”-Brenda Palmer
This! I tell people this all the time. Why are we throwing Jesus out because people turned out to be the sinful human beings that the Bible says they are? We don't stop driving altogether because our car breaks down. We either get it fixed or get a new car.
I’ve been praying for 4 years for godly friends… 😢so it’s frustrating to hear them talk about friends because in the world, I had many friends, but I dont have 1 friend, not 1 saved friend that can relate to me. After 4 years, it hurts but I believe that he has some one for me. I desire friends like these.
Girl let’s be friends
@@amandinelouis-charles3574
Hey girl 👋🏾….
Creating a Christian women’s friends group in the near future. Would you be interested?
@@outsidethe4walls yes please 😊
God will make a way. I’ve been asking the same question for years because of the same reason you have. He is making a path I can see it now even though it’s not clear. ❤
Let’s be friends
Brenda is real…….finally someone who says plainly sororities and yoga are not of God.
True. But as a new member of a sorority, imma say this (as y’all humble sister in Christ): GOD has always been top in my life. Even when I sinned, I loved the LORD. Yes, there are women and men who turn their Greek organizations into idols, but it’s my prayer and goal to do the opposite. Serve GOD and put Him, JESUS and the Holy Spirit first and foremost. Always.💯Remember, GOD is Alpha and Omega. So, He created everything. I will give Him the Glory in everything, including being a part of my service sorority, because that’s what it should be about. Serving others. JESUS showed us how to be a servant so I will follow his example. Thank You JESUS and to GOD be the Glory! Thank You Holy Spirit also!! 🙌🏾🙇🏾♀️❤️🔥(I’m saddened that the young lady’s parents disowned her because she didn’t want to join a sorority. Thats heartbreaking. LORD please bless that family.🙏🏾)
@@peacestartswithinunfortunately, those Greek gods are false god I.e. demons. In Corinthians scripture says that we cannot partake with the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. By definition, being a member is idolatry because you are interacting with a false “god” you cannot separate the organization from the god like you can’t separate the church from Jesus. The Holy Spirit is telling people that these orgs are not of God. In addition, that scripture about no other gods before me, before means in his presence, like not wearing the false gods on your clothing and/or having them a part of your organization. Each sorority has a false god. Perhaps fast and pray for the Holy Spirit to reveal it to you.
@@Luv2be “By definition.” Who made this definition? You? I do not worship any greek gods. I praise and worship the One, True, Living GOD, His Son JESUS and the Holy Spirit. The greek alphabet are not idols (unless they are overly used and I have been convicted. Thank God for the Holy Spirit.) GOD via the Holy Spirit told me, that I do not have to feel bad for joining my sorority because I am going to glorify Him in it and I most definitely will. I always examine myself when the Holy Spirit convicts me, I truly let GOD work on me and I humble myself. I will never put my sorority before my GOD, who is the Creator. YAHWEH. ELOHIM. The GREAT I AM. JEHOVAH JIREH, RAPHA, NISSI, TSIDKENU, etc. and you’re right, the orgs may not be of GOD but I will lift Him up in mine, because again, HE is Alpha and Omega. Much love. And thank you for telling me to fast and pray. I love doing those two things. You keep doing the same.
@@peacestartswithinIdolatry, not a definition I made, one I understand. It’s discussed in the video. This extends further than overly using the Greek alphabet. It’s about the false gods attached to these organizations along with the words spoken during hymns, rituals & the covenants formed while speaking those words, bowing at altars and all the things. The word Hymn alone means a song of praise. Those sororities are not praising Jesus when they are singing their hymns. There is a Greek god (demon) affiliated with all of the d9 sororities. God said there are to be no other gods period. 1 Corinthians 10:21 says you cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils. Meaning no mixing false gods with the true Living God. According to God’s word, he isn’t ok with his children dealing with false gods, thus being in a Greek organization that has a false god. Besides why would you want to be associated with a demon? Pastor Brenda also makes mention about this in this video.
Yesssss more eyes will be open
You should bring pastor Stephenie Ike on the Podcast 💖
For sure ❤
Yes! Thats the best friend Brenda keep referencing, so it would definitely align
Yes She is Amazing!!!
I’d definitely tune in for that! Well imma tune in regardless but would looove to see Pastor Ike join!
Please ❤❤❤
As someone in a sorority, this hit me. When she said she can’t remember the words of the oaths and rituals …that’s so real. It’s a wrap. I’m not going to Hell behind no letters.
DYHM!!
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Glory to God!
Be freeeeee Sis! Check my page for my testimony video! Issa a wrap
As a South African, the biggest lie we tend to think is that there aren't principalities and demons in the Western world. I didn't know how deep Sororities were in America..I now see that the enemy really uses different tactics.
You ladies have TRULY blessed me and my husband today!🙌🏾 We are in our 50’s and it is so refreshing to know that there are people in your generation who are truth-tellers EVEN WHEN it is difficult and sometimes lonely. We know that burden well. The call of God is evident on both of you. Keep showing up, lumps, bumps, and all. We are here for it ALL. You are blessing us through the precious gift of your vulnerability. Blessings on both of you and your ministries! 🙏🏾❤️
The amount of churches that I see doing Greek Sunday is astonishing. "How did Satan get into the church? We invited him in." I need part two. 😩
Facts!! The Lord is not pleased!
That And the holiday events they say it for children but that's the invitation right there
The weed amongst the wheat
You have Pastor wives who are part of sororities. That’s one way it gets in churches. And some men Pastors who are part of fraternities.
Is this a thing?! Sad
IT'S THAT DEEPPPPP! "How am I going to have authority in a city and i'm in covenant with its principality?" JESUS! Brenda you're preachinggggggggggg
Listen!! When I found out the sorority I was in was a covenant relationship...I was so devastated. After 19 years, I denounced in 2023. Thank you for sharing that.
Glory to God!
Amen. Can’t wait till my friends come out.
Same end of 2022 went public 2023 10 years and the rest of my family is still in it
Same!
Amen
The separation was the best thing that could’ve happened for her. NO SHADE, this is the content I need!
Girrrrl 😂 I be thinking the same but I think Gods working on both in different ways and I’m here for both transformations even if one seems further along than the other God is unexplainable his transformations are miraculous
When she said "You don't got to Live, you gotta Die! Daily".
That hit me hard 🙏🏿
This was sooooooo good. Wow. It’s crazy how “everyday” things that seem normal or don’t seem “that deep”, Christians come into covenant unintentionally. It’s literally that deep. We perish due to the lack of knowledge.
“There’s grace in obedience.” “You either participate in obedience or you participate in rebellion (witchcraft).” “As a Believer, your life doesn’t belong to you.”🔥🔥
Kevin Ewing would be a great guest; been listening to him for over 10 years and he is truly the best teacher hands down.
He always says that he has a gift of teaching in a way that child could understand.
Lol Kewin Ewing is something else... Meg would totally love him.. "THE RULE BOOK"
I recently found him. Man ol man! Binge watching him and taking notes. His gift is blessing my life!
LOVE HIM just discovered him a few days ago
Honey whole dream life fully illuminated!!! I don’t look at dreams the same no more!!! I pray and rebuke something serious after watching and READING his content. His community post are long but necessary.
Yessss
This entire episode ‼️‼️
All I can say is glory be to God!!!!
Meg and Brenda are a FORCE because of their obedience to God’s will and not man’s. I’ll be keeping them both lifted in prayer.❤
Megan every guest you have had on your podcast have been awesome. They bring peace, calm, respect, and most importantly God. Your podcast is definitely like Bible study. I absolutely love the Godly podcast.
Its a lot like bible study for me, IM so glad I found her podcast.
Yes this is why God had to separate her from ol girl. She was hindering the move of God.
@@trevontagreene1424 Yes lord.
Bring Brenda back ASAP for a part 2
I’m so glad that we getting back to the truth as Christians, the glorious Church is on the rise, I’m excited!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Not me trying to enjoy a nice lil moment of distraction from what the holy spirit been saying by watching a podcast and here he come talking loud through them 😂😂😂 lawd
😂😩it be hard, be obedient tho!!
Baby we can not escape or ignore him … when you’re chosen it can be a lot. To much is given , much is required!
Amen... same for me. God never fails to make his point!!! 😆
We can try to ignore and run, but he finds a way to get his message through to us. 😂 (You can run, but you can't hide)
Haaaaaaaa....I love how he chases us!!!! I love that we are captured by him.
He will clearly let you know BTW.
Sooo... here's what I would like... you two should do atleast a monthly chat segment so that we can all have a good laugh and yall can read me for filth🤣🤣🤣 THE CONVICTION! I love it! Keep going ladies, I'm praying for you both. This truth is so needed! 💓💓💓
Stay the course!!!
I second this. 🙌🏾
@@DestinyHill-tb5ve let's start a petition 🤣😝
Agreed!! You can see the spiritual connection!!
The conviction with a dash of laughter please let's petition ❤
Swearrrrrrr
When Brenda said the pastor told her You proved to me how real God is 😢 baybaaay powerful testimony! That’s why it’s important to not just claim to be men and women of God but bear his image in the way we treat each other 🙌🏽I am convicted!! thank you Jesus ❤
This is oh sooooo wholesome !!!! Thank Yooooouuuuuuuuu soooooooooo muuuuuuch for sharing this and beimg sooooo vulnerable !!!!!!!!!! Its sooo amazing to see beautiful ladies honour Jesus this muuuuuuch !!!!!!!! May God Bless you guys, honour you and amplify your voices way beyond your wildest imagination!!!!!!
This was SO good. I'm still praying and waiting for friends like yall to come into my life.
Idols are falling
It all started in 2023 - but 2024 - God is LOUD with us, including me.
God thank you for the grace you are giving us as we become aware of these idols & break covenant with them.
I don’t want nothing in between me & God. Take me where I need to be because uht uht - I’m all set from all you’ve revealed. Whew 🥹
Amazing episode! ❤
The way God is placing vessels in your life to replace those you've already learned your lessons from and in this season God is using them to pour into you and affirm what's BEEN INSIDE OF YOU... from day 1 of me watching you until now it's always been you... THANK YOU... Pastor Meg.. lol Love you
These are the conversations we need. IT IS THAT DEEP.
“Wanna know how satan got in the church? We brought him, because we’re in covenant with him ” - Brenda Palmer
😮💨😮💨🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
You ladies don’t know how much this helps. Sometimes the only community you can tap into when walking in a season of consecration is an online one. Because sometimes what you need to overcome that “FOMO” is to see how another believer is walking thier journey of consecration and surrender. It’s encouraging. Actually this conversation sparks to mind what Jackie Hill Perry said on “Surrender”. We are not our own, we were bought for a price. And God deserves in return the whole of us, in Totality. Love u Megan. Love this for you ❤️
Thank you for speaking out about Sororities and Fraternities...I have renounced and denounced my sorority! I'm so free!!! I have a video on my page!
czcams.com/video/GfSBokmixYU/video.htmlsi=9Hl1nDiC4R7jHwg4
Thank you God for placing ppl into our lives to speak life on what we’re doing and going through. I pray the confirmation is always received 🙌🏽
Brenda is correct. Praying for you Meghan. And the reaction your body is having is just confirmation. You know what to do!!
All I can say is every video I watch from this channel is divine. Sometimes I put them off & watch other stuff in between, but when I finally commit to watching, it's reassurance of my prayers to God. ❤
I'm a former Eastern Star (Chicago) ....didn't get my life together until I left them.things I wanted I just don't want anymore, all I want is Jesus and everything I need find me.
Blessings From Mississippi!
This was one of the Best podcast that I have ever heard or seen. From the part of not wanting to be a Pastor to Discipleship to hearing God and being faithful to him even in the hard places. Thank you Megan for having such an Awesome woman of God as Brenda Palmer on here. You both are such inspiring and Powerful Women of God. Thank you for hearing God on who should be on this platform. Being accountable and integral over what God gives us is very important. Thank you.
This is so good. So true!! God is a God of covenant and he honors covenants.
The chemistry between you tooo. I need more episodes with Brenda!!!
"You don't trust me and i will allow this friction and frustration ...you have to trust me" thank you God
This is the third time I commented and honestly, yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, why can't I give this a million likes. I had to pause, reflect, and I'm agitated in a good way.
"You're feeding one of two things: obedience which makes it easier to obey it disobedience which makes it easier to tell God no".... My God!
“He who fears the LORD has nothing to hide.”🔥🔥
43:39 man this is good meat! I’ve been on this walk faithfully for a year. I’ve been told I’m coming off “holier than thou” and “doing too much and needing to find balance “ it’s truly discouraging sometimes because I’m hearing this from proclaimed Christians and I know God is calling me to live a consecrated life and sometimes I can feel how people distance themselves or try to make it seem like I’m doing a lot but they just don’t understand. This is so so true and I appreciate y’all touching on this. I know I am dying to self daily Glory be to God and I will keep being obedient so hearing this makes me feel seen. ❤ thank you ladies
Lol listen when you really encounter God, you feel like you're not doing enough lol that's how I feel anyway. It's fine if I look strange and people distance themselves from me so Christ can bring those looking for him in my path. Trying to be relevant to appease the world that is not even looking for Christ to begin with is what got us in a lot of mess we are in. We must divorce this mentality of trying to be COOL CHRISTIANS, sounds like something laced with Compromise & Lukewarmness .
I had the pleasure of of hearing Brenda Palmer at one community church singles conference! She was Great! She truly was a Blessing!
This was such a good episode, I can’t stop re-watching it 🎉
Omg the ending was so cute! 😂 Pastor Meg!!! Please bring Brenda back, loved yall chemistry.
Thankful for you 🙏🏾 Keep being obedient to our Father. We innit together! 💪🏾
Talking about we want ya’ll to wrap it.. no ma’am, it wasn’t long enough!!! Straight 🔥from the beginning to the end!!! Come onnn Pastors Brenda and Meggg (respectfully 🤭)!!
Thank you girls for your ministry!! This was refreshing, enlightening and tremendously encouraging. Stay the course!! ♥️♥️
This is SOOOO GOOD !!!! everyone is going to be aware of the covenants ,this really is the year of truth 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
MAN this was So real and had so many packed gems 💎 and straight fire 🔥 WOW!!! TRUST this is helping people of God like me who are SERIOUS about this walk with Christ!!!! Thank you both for your OBEDIENCE to God 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I LOVED this episode… watched it 3 times in about 7 days and I’m 100% SURE that I’m gonna watch it again.
"You exist to equip the saints, your life doesn't belong to you" OOOH okay, that hits home 🎯
It’s Pastor Brenda from 41:20 talking about being yourself and conscious of your influence! One thing we don’t talk about enough! For the sake of their faith!! Ooohhhweeeeeehhh I love this entire podcast!!
Great episode!!!! OMG I have to follow her now. She was speaking to ME!!!
So blessed by this conversation! thankful for you both!
Megan! I love you. Bait of Satan is sooo good. He changed my life. I started with Killing Kryptonite, then bait of satan, then drawing near, then driven by eternity and awe of God. He changed my life. John definitely read them folks in that conference. I could just picture him standing up there in silence staring at them. I love the BOLDNESS!
I love this podcast.
I am so grateful for the church God led me to. Our pastor preaches holiness, righteousness, deliverance, and aligns everything with scripture. True Praise Spiritual Church may be small in physical size but God is mighty in the move he does in the house of the Lord.
When she spoke on denouncing her sorority, it reminded me of a dream I had before. A sorority sister was shown as an enemy among other evil spirits and I journal all my dreams . Made me go back and re read that entry.
Love love how she carried her demeanor within her testimony story . She allowed God to do His works and not use exposure to allow those individuals to receive further humanly repercussions
Oh sisters. I know your pain. This is a journey not for the faint of heart. I’m so grateful the Lord led me to this pod. This is how I get connection. Real Jesus.
I came across this episode at the right time. Thank you, Jesus🙏🏾
Thanks I never donate but the lord sent me here. Y’all I’m convincted. This bothered me. Read me for filth. Brought me to tears. Had me praying. Man y’all need to start a podcast together! Come together once a month please! Don’t let what happened stop you two from doing this amen!
Brenda: The LORD deals with people… I cant be concerned! THIS❣️ is the imitation of CHRIST❣️
So many times we try to figure out what should be done… we want to be the judge, too! However, we are not the judge!
We appreciate your vulnerability, because it’s setting others free! I just renounced my sorority after listening to this.
God bless you Meagan you made room for so many people. Look at the people you are connecting with
I was actually going to join a sorority and thankfully it got shut down when I was going to pledge due to hazing. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾✝️
I love you guys energy together 😂😂😂. So inspiring and organic chemistry ❤
I really enjoyed this episode and I got a lot from it. I can relate to this since I renounced my organization at the beginning of the year.
You two young ladies, stay encouraged. There are more agreeing with you’ll than you know. Keep speaking truth for the Lord. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🩷
27:53 is when I decided to Subscribe. I heard the host's heart on obedience
Come on Meg! You have some heavy hitters on your channel. Keep allowing God to use you ❤
One of the best episodes I’ve listened too in a while and that goes for alll the podcast I listen too
This episode!!! Pastor Brenda I’m so happy that God opened your eyes to truth regarding the covenants that come with pledging a sorority. I had the same experience and can relate! God would not let me rest until I denounced. I remember hearing you mention that you were a member of one on a radio show and was praying that God would reveal this to you in his timing. Megan God is using you and this podcast so mightly!!! With elevation comes separation..look at Abraham in Genesis 12. To God be the Glory!🙏🏾🙌🏾
Omg!!! First time I heard someone talk about Yoga out loud! I stopped after a few times because I went to research Namaste and that google search led me down a rabbit hole of confusion but also clarity that Jesus would not be pleased. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽my friends tried to say well their is Christian yoga and I say the devil is a lie!
I need to join Patreon to find MY people because that’s the struggle I’m having now.. finding MY people💕
Matt Chandler, Eric Mason or Preston Perry would all be great guests on this podcast. KB would be excellent too! Enjoying the pod so far!
God I’m just so proud of Megan’s journey ,, and to see where God is bring her .. it’s s inspirational 😩😩🙏🏿🙏🏿
Yalllllll I looked Tiphani Montgomery up. Chillllleeee she’s more like a pastor lol 😂 sis don’t play, she tells it like it TIS! That’s exactly what this generation NEED ❤
"We will experience things in the places where we're supposed to find God and when our hearts are broken in that space, we leave God"
This whole episode has Blessed my soul!! God’s Grace & Mercy is so Amazing! I renounced from Zeta Sept 12, 2023 after 23yrs. I cried when I realized what I had done too. God is opening the eyes of those who are truly seeking Him, and He’s calling us out from among them. Praise God for your testimony Brenda! ❤
Bro the fact that we can all relate to similar experiences while following Jesus is so comforting. It makes me feel like I got this because millions of people before me had it.
My kind of people. Whew. Yall get it. This was a beautiful and edifying conversation. 🙌🏾🤝🏾🕊
You both together balance each other! I love it! Seeing sisters in the body of Christ showcasing the fruit of the spirit despite the situation. Love you both, sis!
THIS WAS GOOD!! I GOT SO CONVICTED SO MANY TIMES!! Thank you God for coming AFTER ME❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hands down, this has to be one of the best Podcast episodes I’ve ever watched!
I’m sorry Megan but she’s right. It’s on you. You don’t understand what you say alone, moves my spirit so much and I can’t imagine if I’m one person, what are you doing to the other multi thousands of people??? DONT STOP.
This was great! Waiting on Mr and Mrs. PERRY next🎉
That would be so cool😮.
@@andiswaaa i know i’m going to have to pause & process or throw my phone😂
@@TheLifeofKeeAndQsameee😂😂
Because THIS episode was THE ONE🔥🔥 So glad I came across your channel! I’ve been enjoying these episodes and taking so much from them. I’m loving the energy between you two, it’s so engaging and the way you both share the Truth is amazing😭😭👏🏽
This is my first time listening and you ladies are alright with me!!!!!!! So needed in this generation ❤
This conversation is setting the tone for the next book .. Driven By Eternity. Currently reading it and it is truly blowing me away (in a good way lol) John just has a way of really touching us through his books. God is really using him.
"Who's Discipling us" Yoooooo..no like for real---IG and books
Keep us desperate for you Lord!!!
Pastor Brenda done came and snatched all our edges... My God... This episode was just mind blowing I need a part 2,3,4,5. Literally the Episode all of us had been waiting for and it was worth every second of it, I am literally like what did I just watch? That's how I'm impactful and timely it was and will be rewatching it a few times... PASTOR MEGAN lol THANK YOU FOR THIS SPACE SIS.. You're amazing and doing well 💕💕💕
"Did he cop a squat?" Megan is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
All in all great episode 💞
😂😂
Such a great podcast, one of the best !!! Next you need Tiphani Montgomery !!!!!!!!!!
I think we need Minister Kewin Ewing before Tiphani just so he can give her & audience the 411 on the deep spiritual stuff cs I think Meg is fairly new to the intricate details.
This episode was exactly what I needed today. Thank you Meg,going through that season of isolation,but your vulnerability really helps me. Thank you for serving us
The pilgrims progress!! My favorite part that you just described. One of my favorite movies...don't know how many times i have watched it.
Second time of me watching your podcast and I'm loving it, have been following Brenda for some time. I'm going to watch more of you❤️
I had to finish watching this when I got home because I was about to lose itttt 😩
My my my this was a blessing!
“I’m not here to argue, cause when you go before Jesus, you gonna go on your own and Im going on my own. And I’m telling you I don’t want covenant with Satan on my account.” - Pastor Brenda Palmer
Me- God I didn’t ask for this conviction
Him - You read the title for a reason.
I’m blown away by this episode, literally my jaw is still hanging. Wow, Divine truth indeed!
So powerful! Praise Jesus on Brenda coming out of DST! Her testimony on this topic will help so many! To GOD be all the glory! I repented, renounced and denounced DST as well, and it's one of the BEST decisions I've made in obedience to Jesus! The Lord is delivering His remnant for sure!
