(Though we don't go into explicit details of cases and events, some topics in this episode can be difficult to hear)
Megan Carey is one of our dear friends and a helpful, loving member of our neighborhood, church and community.
Megan has worked a dedicated career to serving kids and their families during the worst moments of their lives.
We are privileged to hear Megan's story of working in Child Welfare and some of her amazing work serving children, teens and their families after cases of abuse of all kinds.
Megan shares how doing this important work has challenged her faith and shares the beautiful lessons learned BECAUSE of enduring these challenges.
We learn that Megan has a unique lens in which she views the world because of the experiences she has had in her difficult career. Attempting to look through this lens gives us insight into
-why others makes the choices they make
-how to treat those going through a challenge of their faith
-what to do if you are experiencing your own faith challenge
-some key takeaways for protecting children
This lens isn't always the rosy, comfortable perspective that we grow accustomed to looking through. As difficult as her work has been, Megan has endured through difficult cases because of her commitment to help others.
Megan, THANK YOU for a wonderful conversation and for giving a piece of yourself to help others.
