Drum roll please…
The next hero on my list is CATG’s own Megan J.! Several reasons for this nomination. First, and something I haven’t even shown her yet because I wanted to announce it here… she made the COVER of a new college sociology textbook called “Social Problems!!!” I love it. (Megan is the one with the LIFE tape over her mouth praying here for the unborn – second column from left, three down).
I know you’re not supposed to talk about a woman’s age, but we are talking early twenties here and she’s already shaking society in notable ways! Admittedly there is a bit of (spiritual) fatherly pride coming through here but what pastor wouldn’t boast when a young adult in his church bucks the culture and takes a visible stand for the least of these. Actually, Megan’s mug shot already graced the Washington Post about 18 months ago.
Age is irrelevant to heroism. Looking out over the sea of faces at the Washington March for Life last week, many people from the platform noted the face of the pro-life movement is young – most under age 30. These are the survivors, Roe v. Wade survivors. 50 million of their peers didn’t make it.
Megan represents an emerging army of Nazirites who God is raising up in our nation – worshippers, history-changing intercessors, lovers of God. Be sure to click on the Nazirite link here and read Lou Engle’s comments. These are the heaven-sent heroes of our day. I’m committed to them and celebrate them.

It certainly was NEVER about me. I simply carried God’s heart as He, Himself, had instructed me. Whenever I see this picture, I don’t smile. I am reminded that this battle here on earth has not yet been won. The babies are still dying! I wear that tape every day in my heart, crying out to God that His banner of LIFE would fly over America. Jesus, I plead you blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America! Come, Jesus!

Here’s the great dilemma. God does not need us to get done what He wants to do, and yet He does need us to get done what He wants to do. Megan plays a vital part of a “nameless, faceless” movement arising in the nation right now. I like Megan’s comment that it’s not about her. It’s absolutely not about her. And yet it is at the same time.
Jesus is looking for somebody to “go a little further” in the garden with him. Can you imagine staying awake long enough to eavesdrop on a prayer meeting between the Son and the Father? Can you imagine being right there to comfort Jesus’ heart in his hardest moment. When I see this picture, that’s what I see going on.

I’m a little behind here on my comment but thanks for the “brag” on Megan, Steve. I’ve wondered where she is lately regarding the worship team. She’s always my very favorite worship team leader because it’s never about her. She’s just so obviously worshiping the Lord that I see His glory on her all the time up there. I just want to encourage her on who she is in the Lord and her passion for the “least” is an inspiration to young and old. You just gotta love that girl.
