Megan Fate Marshman

Si alguna vez has conocido a Megan o la has escuchado hablar, sabes que es pura esperanza, energía, alegría y sinceridad. Una de las preguntas más frecuentes es: "¿Es auténtica?". Sí, lo es. Sin duda. La persona que es en los escenarios de todo el mundo es la misma que es en los viajes en coche… ¡de esos viajes en coche en los que te pasas de la salida porque la conversación es así de buena!

Megan está decidida a dedicar su vida a difundir esperanza, compartir la verdad y celebrar los logros de los demás. Posee un doctorado en teología y se desempeña como pastora docente en la Iglesia Comunitaria Willow Creek y como directora del Ministerio de Mujeres en los Campamentos Cristianos Hume. Además, guía espiritualmente a las mujeres en la Iglesia Arbor Road en Long Beach, California.
Ella dedica su tiempo a las personas, a escribir libros y estudios bíblicos, y a viajar por todo el mundo, enseñando y compartiendo el amor de Jesús.

Publicó el libro y la guía de estudio Relaxed (2024) y el estudio bíblico Beautiful Word: John (2022, Harper Collins), es autora del libro y el estudio bíblico Meant for Good (2020, Zondervan), SelfLess (2017, David C Cook), y coescribió el libro 7 Family Ministry Essentials con la Dra. Michelle Anthony (2015, David C Cook).

Pero lo que más nos gusta de Megan es su forma de ver a los demás. Tiene una gran habilidad para observar a las personas que la rodean y para hacer las preguntas adecuadas que le ayudan a comprenderlas aún mejor.

Megan vive en Lakewood, California, con su esposo Scott y sus cuatro hijos.

Author

Steve Cuss

Steve is the author of Managing Leadership Anxiety: Yours and Theirs and The Expectation Gap and also a columnist and host of Christianity Today’s Being Human podcast. Steve founded Capable Life to help people lower anxiety, break stuck patterns and increase wellbeing in the work place, home place and in your faith. When Steve served as a trauma and hospice chaplain at a young age he learned how what was going on inside him could quickly affect his ability to be present to people in pain. He also learned how to notice the dynamics between people.

 

These early lessons and later study served Steve well as he works with organizations on team health and the infectious nature of anxiety. Steve was first exposed to Family Systems Theory when he was a chaplain and he later studied it in graduate school. Steve holds sixteen hundred hours of supervised ministry in Clinical Pastoral Education and is a Spiritual Care Professional in the ACPE. He holds a Master of Divinity from Emmanuel Christian Seminary with a thesis focusing on the dignity laws of Leviticus and Exodus and how a suburban church can move beyond charity to address systemic poverty. Steve is proud to be a strategic partner with Compassion International, International Justice Mission, Leadership Network, Missio Alliance, A21 and more.

 

Steve is an ordained pastor and has faithfully served in local churches for 26 years. From 2005 - 2021, Steve was Lead Pastor at Discovery Christian Church in Broomfield, CO He transitioned leadership and now works part-time for the church and full-time in speaking and consulting. Discovery works to reach the intellectual skeptic with the Gospel and also to break systemic poverty locally and globally. Under Steve’s tenure, the church grew from 150 to more than 1200 in weekly attendance and moved from portable to building its own building. Steve is a capital campaign veteran :) Prior to Discovery, Steve served in crisis intervention at a mega church in Las Vegas, on a ranch for struggling teens, and as a youth minister in the Appalachian region.

 

Steve was privileged to grow up in Perth, Western Australia, in an adventurous family of origin. After moving to the United States for theological study, he married Lisa, and they have two sons and a daughter, in whom they take great delight. When Steve is not working, you can find him laughing with his family, knee-deep in a trout stream, or trying a guitar he cannot afford at a local music store.

Making a Big Impact in a Smaller Church
With Steve McVey

13.jpg

Size doesn't determine impact. Being on mission does. In this seminar, Steve McVey, founder and Executive Director of Dirt Roads Network and a pastor of 26 years in rural Kansas, draws on real stories of small churches that made a big impact to show what sets them apart. These congregations think like missionaries in their own backyard, rally around a shared vision instead of pulling in different directions, take time to genuinely discern what God is calling them to do rather than defaulting to what's always been done, and are willing to make the hard calls that growth and faithfulness sometimes require. Whether you lead a congregation of twenty or two hundred, you'll walk away with practical, field-tested ways to help your congregation make a lasting difference in your community.

About Steve

Steve McVey is the founder and Executive Director of Dirt Roads Network. He is driven by a deep passion for rural and small-town ministry. Since its launch in 2019, the network has been dedicated to planting and revitalizing life-giving, Bible-centered churches that transform communities across rural America.

Harnessing AI's Power Ethically
With David Swisher

17.jpg

Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant future concept. It’s a very present reality that’s disrupting jobs, ministry, and education. It’s reshaping how we communicate, create, write, and connect in ministry and education. Whether you’re curious about AI’s potential, concerned about its implications, or eager eager to explore practical applications, ministry leaders need both
the knowledge and the wisdom to navigate this new landscape with confidence and integrity. These workshops are designed to equip pastors, ministry leaders, and faculty with practical skills, discuss ethical & responsible use, and provide the confidence to integrate AI effectively, while freeing up more time for the spiritual and relational work that matters most.

Curiosity & a transformed perspective
With Chris & Mary Conrad

26.jpg

Last year @ 41 Hours, Chris introduced the concept of “Getting Curious.” In this breakout session, Mary (an Enneagram coach, a Primal Question teacher, a Working Genius facilitator) and Chris will focus on how getting curious in our relationships changes everything. It breaks the dams built in marriages and parenting. It unlocks the doors to greater potential in volunteer and staff relationships. It empowers us to experience all Holy Spirit has for us as parents. Get curious with us!

Creating a Prayer Culture in our Church
With Elise Zuber & Kyle Brown

23.jpg

Every pastor and leader wants to see their church experience the power and presence of God. But how do we cultivate a church culture where prayer is not simply an opening prayer, a prayer meeting, or something we turn to when we have a problem, but where seeking God becomes part of the very DNA of the church?

Join Kyle Brown and Elise Zuber for a practical and inspiring conversation about building a culture of prayer within your church. This session will explore what it looks like to move prayer from the margins to the center of church life and how pastors and leaders can help their people become a praying people who seek God, listen for His voice, and pray with expectation.

This will not simply be a session about why prayer matters. You will leave with practical ideas, strategies, and resources you can begin implementing in your church to cultivate a deeper and more intentional culture of prayer.

Whether your church already has a strong prayer culture or you are wondering how to get started, this session will encourage, challenge, and equip you to take your next step.  Kyle and Elise have a shared desire to see churches become places where prayer is not simply an activity on the calendar, but a way of life.
