Ep 128 // What Legacy Are You Really Leaving? Uncovering Purpose Through Faith & Brokenness with Elisa Morgan

In this rich episode, Megan sits down with Elisa Morgan—author, speaker, and former President of MOPS International (currently named MomCo) —for a beautiful conversation about faith, motherhood, adoption, and the power of vulnerability. Elisa opens up about her personal journey of hearing God’s voice, navigating the beauty and mess of motherhood, and how brokenness can actually be the birthplace of deeper connection with God and others.

Megan & Elisa talk legacy, character, community, and what it really means to mentor the next generation—not from a place of perfection, but from authentic presence. Whether you’re in the thick of raising littles, walking through a season of empty nesting, or simply desiring deeper connection with God and others, this episode will encourage your soul.

Listen in to hear:

• How Elisa’s adoption story shaped her understanding of connection and calling
• Why hearing God’s voice is deeply personal—and how to recognize it
• The unique challenges and gifts of motherhood
• What MOPS taught her about building brave, vulnerable community
• Why brokenness is not a barrier, but a bridge to intimacy with God
• How to think about legacy as character, not accomplishment
• Encouragement to mentor the next generation, no matter your season

Memorable Quotes:

“If you’re not dead, you’re not done.”"Legacy isn't about what stuff you leave behind, it's about your character."
