Our Guest: Megan Faught
Megan Faught is a wife, mom of two girls, and a woman passionate about people and purpose. With a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction, she spent 14 years in education before stepping into a new role at her church, where she helps care for people in meaningful ways. Together with her husband, Megan also runs two businesses—Faught Cabinetry and Provision Building Co.—both rooted in faith and integrity. She is passionate about creating life-giving spaces, whether through homes, ministry, or relationships, and she carries a heart for walking alongside others with empathy and strength.
Key Thoughts and Scriptures:
Psalm 30:11-12 AMP You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
- When Megan’s marriage collapsed, she felt deep anger toward her husband and a growing frustration with God.
- She was sitting with her attorney at that last meeting and venting about everything. And the attorney looked at her and said, “And you’re blessed to do it.”
Exodus 17:14 NLT After the victory, the Lord instructed Moses, “Write this down on a scroll as a permanent reminder, and read it aloud to Joshua: I will erase the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”
- God doesn’t mind hard questions.
- The storms Megan was enduring, God was not surprised by any of them.
- But…because she had isolated herself, she had locked up all of the gifts and the skills that God had given her.
- The Lord was trying to birth greatness in her during that time, and she needed to fully surrender everything over to the Lord and let Him have his way.
When Megan turned to God with her pain, He began to heal her heart.
- Whenever Megan felt darkness and depression, she would lean into worship, then she would begin to feel the Lord’s presence and peace surrounding her.
- The healing was slow but steady, and she witnessed God’s quiet faithfulness throughout.
Romans 8.28 NIV And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
- Even in her darkest season, God was working redemption.
- God is so good and is able to bring just what we need into our lives, even when we aren’t asking for it.
- During tough times, Megan and her daughter leaned into prayer.
- She prioritized helping her daughter process things, while also protecting her heart.
- God brought her into a place of hope so she could give hope to others who are going through a dark season.
For Moms Walking Through Divorce:
Megan shares practical encouragement for parenting after loss — keeping Christ at the center, praying with your children, maintaining honesty in age-appropriate ways, and choosing forgiveness over bitterness. Her story reminds us that godly parenting can thrive even after brokenness when it’s rooted in grace and hope.
Ruth’s Story
- Ruth had every reason to go back to her old life in Moab after her world fell apart. But she stepped into the unknown and trusted God with her future.
- Her story led to redemption for generations.
Isaiah 61:3 NIV And provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
Jeremiah 31:13 NIV …I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
- God is still writing your story and the final word is filled with joy.
