My Mission

Writing + Speaking

Megan is the author of an upcoming book on redemptive suffering as well as a contributor to several books and publications. She speaks nationally at conferences and retreats, encouraging others in their God-given identity, sharing hope in suffering, and equipping others with practical tools to pursue personal holiness and more deeply receive God’s love.

MINISTRY + MENTORSHIP

FAMILY + SERVICE

Megan met her hockey-loving husband while attending the United States Military Academy at West Point.

They have both served for over fifteen years in the Army and Army Reserve. They are blessed with three beautiful children, all of whom play hockey (like dad) and love talking about Jesus (like mom).

My Story

I grew up in a military family surrounded by vibrant Catholic community. I fell in love with Jesus at an early age and never looked back. As I grew, I also started spinning words like my mom and dreamed of joining the Army like my dad.

In time, God led me to become both a soldier and Catholic writer. Several years into my military service, I began facing painful progressive health issues, one of which has no cure. Yet in the depths of suffering I’ve also discovered the sheer heights of God’s love, and a surprising supernatural joy. This, too, grew to be a big part of my faith and mission.

My Mission

The joy I’ve discovered (especially in suffering) isn’t reserved for a select few; God desires it for you, too! The Lord has invited me to share the healing and wholeness He offers to all through writing, speaking, and connecting with you–His beloved.
