From NICU to Revival: Gen Z, Healing & Bold Faith with Megan Parsons | EP 161

What happens when a chronically ill teenager meets the Healer—and then grows up to care for the tiniest lives in the NICU while preaching the Gospel to Gen Z? In this episode, Megan Parsons shares her powerful journey from chronic Lyme disease and church hurt to a dramatic encounter with Jesus, supernatural healing, NICU nursing, youth pastoring, and now itinerant ministry.

Megan and John talk about how God met her in a youth service, completely healed her, led her into the medical field, and later into pastoring Gen Z. She opens up about fresh health battles, stepping away from pastoral ministry, getting radically healed again on a recent Brazil trip, and launching a new ministry in a time she believes revival is not just coming—but already here. They also dive into how older generations can walk with Gen Z, and how nurses and medical professionals can carry Jesus into hospitals in a wise, Spirit-led way.
