On this episode of Da Fixx, we had the pleasure of hosting Megan Tossi, a rapper, writer, and producer who shared her inspiring journey of faith, music, and overcoming personal challenges.

Remembering 9/11

Before we delve into Megan’s story, I want to acknowledge the significance of the date, September 11th. Our prayers go out to those affected by the 9/11 attacks. It’s a day that has left an indelible mark on our hearts and minds, reminding us of the importance of faith and staying connected to God in uncertain times.

Megan Tossi: A Story of Faith and Redemption

Megan Tossi’s faith story is one of transformation and redemption. She got saved at the age of 12, initially out of fear. However, a church camp experience opened her eyes to the deeper meaning of salvation and the fulfilling life she could lead serving God.

Despite battling mental illness at a young age, Megan found solace and strength in her faith. She believes that her struggles were attempts by the devil to deter her from her calling in missions. Megan’s story is a testament to the power of maintaining the right perspective and understanding our identity as children of God.

The Power of Community

Megan emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with a supportive community. She credits her transformation to the believers who lovingly corrected her negative self-perception, helping her redefine herself and overcome insecurities. Her story underscores the importance of leaning on our community and staying connected to God through His Word.

Living with Crohn’s Disease

Megan’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at 16, she had to give up her dreams of playing college basketball. Despite the pain and the limitations imposed by the disease, Megan remains resilient, using her platform to motivate and inspire others while sharing the gospel.

A Love for Music

Megan’s love for music began in her childhood, growing up around hip hop and reggaeton culture in Central Florida. She started writing hip hop songs at 13 as a way to express herself and cope with bullying. Despite the challenges she faced, including being made fun of for her race, Megan has used her experiences to fuel her music.

Upcoming Music: “Wilted”

Megan’s upcoming song, “Wilted,” is a reflection of her experiences of feeling spiritually drained and in need of God’s presence. She hopes that the song will resonate with Christians who feel the need to be poured into by the Lord.

The Importance of Truth and Honesty

Our conversation with Megan also touched on the importance of truth and honesty in relationships and personal finances. We discussed how some people overspend and live beyond their means, leading to financial struggles. We urged listeners to be honest with themselves about their financial situation and make necessary changes.

Remembering the Lives Lost on 9/11

As we concluded our episode, we extended our prayers and condolences to those who lost loved ones in the 9/11 terrorist attack. We shared personal experiences and reflections on the event and discussed the importance of being prepared and standing up for one’s rights.

Conclusion

Our conversation with Megan Tossi was a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and the human spirit. Despite her struggles, Megan continues to inspire us with her music and her unwavering faith. As we sign off, we remind you to stay focused on turning negative situations into positive ones and remember that Jesus Christ is always the answer.
