Episode Synopsis


We sit down to continue Megan's story, a school chaplain, climber, and social work student. She shares what it means to serve in a pastoral role in public schools, where one-on-one ministry is about care, listening, and support rather than preaching. She opens up about the challenges of carrying emotional burdens, the comfort she finds in prayer, and the privilege of pointing people to Christ—even indirectly.Outside of chaplaincy, Megan finds joy and mental health benefits in climbing, music, and being part of a supportive community. We also hear about her training at Youthworks, her path into community services and social work, and her vision of working with kids, families, and mental health in the future.
