As you can probably tell from my incredibly strong accent, I (Megan) am an immigrant to the United States. As such, the US immigration system has been a rather large feature in my adult life…but I've never before considered the relationship between American immigration and the Bible, or more specifically, the book of Revelation. It's never really occurred to me that such a relationship even exists. In contrast, my guest today has written an entire - and absolutely fascinating - book on the subject, and we're going to be diving right into it! We'll be exploring how Revelation has been used throughout US history to categorize, demonize, and vilify immigrants, while also painting the US as the New Jerusalem, sanctuary for God's chosen, which must be defended at all costs.

Kyle and I (Megan) share about the transformation of our relationship as Kyle moves to Oregon. Instead of closing our hearts, we are focusing consciously on building more secure attachment practices and new relationship agreements. For anyone in a long-distance relationship, or currently restructuring a relationship, this episode might provide you some context to see your relationship challenges in a new light. Special Invitation!!! One of our secure attachment practices is to create together...and you are invited into the process! We will be holding a 6 week group program "Secure Attachment Practices in Polyamory" where we build our skill sets and better relationships! Limited to a small number of participants so message megan@amorypodcast.com if you are interested. Starts July 19th. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amorypodcast/support

This was not on our schedule for the podcast today, but sometimes, that's when THE BEST things happen. I (Megan) am getting real today, because as your coach, friend, fellow human, I don't just care about your pageant prep, I care about the rest of your life and your soul. This was on my heart to share with you what my life looks like as a follow of Jesus - whether you're a believer or not, I know this will stir up some inspiration or curiosity! Let's go!

These conversations can get so intense and unexpected - sometimes I (Megan) want to hit that power-off button and end in the middle of a sentence but I know it's best to push through.We had such a solid conversation but at 1 hour it got erased and only 30 minutes were saved. We started again and thought…1. do we start all over again 2. Merge them together 3. Try to pick up where we ended. At this point I think it's best we just be as honest and raw as we are and put them both together side by side. A few things we unpack in this episode:-Meg starting to be more selfish with her time/responsibilities-Sam asking why Meg can't take productive criticism-Meg talking about childhood tribulation & her brother-Sam talking about being in jail and a wilderness program & how that's helped him

Welcome friend of the pod, Eli Irvin! Eli and Gabriel have known each other for many years, and when I (Megan) met him at the Wild Goose Festival last year, I knew we were going to be friends! Eli is an Episcopalian and has devoted his life to loving people well, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community. We talked about the good and bad of the church, what it really means to love people well, and how love and Christianity are meant to be inefficient. This conversation felt like sitting on a front porch with a couple of southern friends and a glass of lemonade (or bourbon ;) ). It was such a breath of fresh air, and I know you're going to love Eli and be thinking about his words for quite a while. Follow Eli on Tiktok and Instagram @irvinwithaneye for theology, Star Trek, and other nerdy fun!

Oh my oh my, we're all in for a treat with this episode! Susan Faulkner, Megan's Mom, joins us for this Mother's Day special episode! Susan talks about mothering well - through good times and bad - and she even shares some family secrets. (Read: about Megan's punishment as a 14 year old). We only scrape the surface in this interview... she has so much more to say and I (Megan) have so much more to say ABOUT her. So, hopefully this is only round 1! Susan Recommends: 1. Friends! 2.

Welcome to The DollarSprout Podcast! This episode is all about the who, what, and why of this show. Tune in for: 3 things that set a lifestyle business apart from other businesses The story of how I (Megan, your show host) got into the online business world (and awkwardly stalked DollarSprout co-founders Ben and Jeff until they gave me a job), and What else you can expect from season 1 of The DollarSprout Podcast.

Matt & Megan Rollag experienced one of the unthinkable tragedies when they showed up at the hospital to expand their family for the first time. As Megan beautifully states: "Lyla was born sleeping." Megan carried Lyla to full term and when her and Matt showed up to the hospital they were informed that Lyla's heartbeat was not there. Through unspeakable tragedy comes a beautiful testimony about grief, loss, healing, redemption, marriage, and faith. Megan's testimony is powerfully blissful and redeeming. We hope you find encouragement because of the Rollag's courage to tell their story so we can stand together in grief and alone no more. Episode Highlights: "Entered motherhood in a way I never expected." "I (Megan) have never felt this kind of darkness and sadness." If you have ever had children or experienced a partner having a child, the mother still needs to heal. Megan would cry because of the hurt and her body would produce breast milk, a daily reminder of their loss. The helpful & hurtful ways to reach out when people are grieving loss. "Don't ask, just do." Marriage in Grief - How Matt & Megan learned to grieve together, further fortifying their marriage.

Wondering what to do if your metamours aren't talking to each other? It was a hard 5 months while Marty and Kyle didn't communicate. However during that time, I (Megan) stayed in a relationship with both of them. We all had some major learning lessons around forgiveness, self-love, and empowered action that we share in this episode. The more we travel down this path, the more I believe we are quantumly entangled (listen for the story in the podcast). Thank you for joining us on this journey we call life!

Kyle and I (Megan) realized that our default setting on our relationship was open when we started...so we went through a journey of closing it, in order to consiously open it. The theme for us is being conscious in relating to each other. We recap what we've both been learning over the last few months of being apart. We had different paths that led to the same place and that has allowed us to create a more healthy, secure relationship. Want to continue this conversation with us? Join as an Amory Patron!

I (Megan) recorded this over a month ago, and didn't listen to it...until last night. And, it just so happens that I needed the message in this recording. I feel now is the right time to share this with you. It's one of my most vulnerable recordings to date.

I asked our Instagram community what they struggled with and one response we got was Bible reading... and trust me, I know many of us can relate. Has Bible reading ever felt empty? or like just something to check off the checklist for today? Maybe it's been a struggle to get more out of it or even have the desire to read and spend time with Jesus. I (Megan) dive into my daily Bible reading set up that was a game changer for my walk with the Lord AND share 3 extra helpful guides to make sure we're allowing Jesus to speak to us even more in our time with Him.

Sometimes, a wonderful thing happens and Megan’s lack of planning works out. This is one of those times. Okay, not really that big of a deal, but I (Megan) forgot there was a bonus, 5th Monday in the month of June so you kids get extra content. Yay! This week, we’re talking about romance novellas. They’re short. They’re (hopefully) sweet. And we got to squeeze two books into one time slot! Book 1: Alyssa Cole’s Once Ghosted, Twice shyBook 2: Lucy Eden’s Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend Kids, we loved these books. (One of them might even be Johnathon’s new favorite romance.)And here’s a link to a great interview with Alyssa Cole from BookRiot.

Sign up at https://www.meganmontgomerywrites.com/ You'll get a first look at cover reveals, release dates, author events, and giveaways! We've been really into re-watching classic romantic comedies lately. I (Megan) have been particularly thrilled because until recently, Johnathon hasn't been a big fan of "my" movies, i.e. movies that are dialogue-heavy.Moonstruck was a pretty big turn-around for our marriage, when I finally heard Johnathon say the words, "this movie has a great script." But, you'd have to be an A-level idiot not to recognize that Moonstruck has a one of the wittiest, fast-paced but still heavily character-driven, true to life scripts in all of Hollywood. So, SNAP OUT OF IT and watch it. Again.

Do you have a really big dream or far-out goal that you've never told anybody about? We'll bet you do because we've had them too. What's sad is that most of those dreams  get buried under a huge mound of fear and insecurity. It doesn't have to be that way! We've felt that same fear of acting on our deepest desires. And we've learned from experience that when you do take the risk of sharing your dream, people usually tell you “get real” or “be practical.” It's discouraging. After a while, it's just easier to play it safe. Here's the thing: nothing good in our lives has come from thinking small. All the breakthroughs—every single one—have come as a result of dreaming big and nurturing those dreams to reality. Thinking big is a skill, just like anything else. You can train yourself to it, and we'll show you how. I (Megan) had to learn that lesson to overcome my lifelong fear of public speaking. To do that, I had to envision a bigger future for myself. In this episode, I share that journey and how it transformed my life and leadership. We're excited about this message because we know it will be a turning point for a lot of people, maybe you. This episode is brought to you by the Full-Focus Planner. Pre-order in the Executive, Classic, and Bold lines. Here's the insight you get in this episode— Learn why the biggest change you need is in your mindset, not your behavior. Identify the primary emotion that keeps us from dreaming big. Recognize the predictable process that causes you to give up on big ideas. Find out why writing down your dreams nearly guarantees they'll be realized. Understand the difference between a dream and a goal, and why both matter. Discover the most vulnerable stage in thinking big, and learn how to ensure your dream doesn't die here. Hear the magic question that moves you from dreaming to doing. See why most big dreams are not achieved. (Hint: It's not lack of ability.) Seriously, this is one of the most exciting episodes we've produced. We hope it'll inspire you to dig deep, think back, and recover the big ambition you've been too afraid to voice. We know you can do it! Here's Something that Would Really Help Are you a Lead to Win subscriber?

Kathleen, Dawn and I (Megan) discuss a Lifetime Derivative Thriller about two crazy kids who pretend to kill themselves just to get out of jail time. Ah, young love. For some strange reason this movie goes by two different titles, "Dying to be Loved," and "A Mother's Suspicion."
