About Our Guest

When asked what punctuation best describes Megan Hutchinson's personality, there is no hesitation, “an exclamation!” In addition to being an energetic wife, she’s a proud mom of two teenage young men, an ordained full-time pastor, an author and national speaker. 

After earning her Masters from Fuller Seminary, Megan worked at a variety of churches, including Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, CA where she served for ten years. There she co-authored a curriculum (with Doug!) to help hurting kids, entitled Life Hurts God Heals, which God has used in thousands of churches. For the past five years, she has served as a pastor at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach, CA. Her husband Adam is a hydro-geologist (try saying that 10x) who, after spending a year in Africa, is passionate to help villages unearth clean drinking water. Together, and with God’s help, they make a great team of two imperfect individuals. Connect with Megan on Instagram @meganhutch111 or on her website www.meganhutchinson.org
