“Rerouted: Are You Actually on the Right Road?” With Megan Fate Marshman, Kaley Olson, and Meredith Brock
The Proverbs 31 Ministries PodcastShow Notes
What’s actually driving your life right now? In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Meredith Brock and Kaley Olson sit down with Bible teacher and author Megan Fate Marshman to unpack one of Jesus’ most sobering teachings: the narrow road vs. the wide road.
But this isn’t just about salvation — it’s about how we’re living every single day.
If you’ve ever felt exhausted trying to “do all the right things,” or quietly wondered if you’re missing something in your relationship with God … this conversation will meet you right there.
Megan brings clarity, conviction, and incredible hope as she reminds you: Following Jesus isn’t about striving harder — it’s about knowing Him and letting Him know you.
You’ll learn: Why you can follow Jesus … and still find yourself on the “wide road.” The subtle difference between knowing about God and actually knowing Him. How striving, perfectionism, and performance can quietly replace relationship. What it really means to live on the narrow road (without burnout). The one question that reveals what your life is actually built on. Resources From This Episode: Relaxed by Megan Fate Marshman.

When life feels heavy, it can be hard to believe anything good could come from what you’re carrying. In this episode of The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast, Jennifer Rothschild joins Meredith Brock and Shae Hill for a conversation about what it looks like to face real hardship with an eternal perspective. Walking through 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, Jennifer reminds us that trusting God doesn’t mean minimizing what hurts or pretending everything is fine. Instead we can acknowledge what’s hard, believe God is still working with purpose, and remember what feels permanent right now is temporary in light of eternity.
Sometimes the hardest part of trusting God isn’t believing that He has a plan ... It’s wondering whether His plan will be anything like the one we hoped for.
