Our Story
May 25th, 2019, is a day that changed my life forever.
God had just healed me (Tim) of childhood trauma that I’d unknowingly carried most of my life. Through that inner healing, I received a fresh revelation of God’s amazing love for me and the real power of His grace. You can read more about this healing and learn the truths that changed my life in my book, Your REAL ID.
I was spending the night in Chicago for the first time. As I looked out over the city, I marveled at the wealth I saw. I said to the Lord, as I looked at the buildings, boats, and cars, “Lord, what a vast amount of wealth!”
And in that moment, I sensed the Holy Spirit reminded me, all of it is passing away. The true wealth is the people. Every single person is eternal. Created in the image and likeness of God. Designed to have a relationship with Him. That’s true wealth.
Then He asked me, “Son, will you help Me gather My wealth?”
Answering the Call
Following the leading of the Holy Spirit, Meagan and I sold our home in Ohio and moved our family to Colorado, where we attended Bible college and graduated with degrees in Biblical Studies. From there, the Lord led us to Waukegan to establish Elite Life Ministries.
We are both licensed and ordained ministers, passionate about sharing Jesus and helping people discover how deeply God loves them. Our desire is for everyone, regardless of social status, nationality, or personal history, to experience the peace and joy that comes from a meaningful relationship with their loving heavenly Father, by understanding their identity in Christ Jesus.
Twenty Years of God’s Faithfulness
Hello Friends, we’re so thankful that you’re here!
Twenty years ago, Tim and I met at church. When the Lord highlighted him to me (that’s a great story, btw), I was unsure of what the future might hold or if we’d ever be a “thing,” but I continued to grow in trusting the leading of the Holy Spirit and the plan that He had for my life.
I’m very thankful to say that in July 2026, we celebrated 20 years of marriage and some of the most incredible adventures as we’ve experienced the Lord’s faithful guidance. Together, we’ve learned to deepen our spiritual roots and grow more in love with the Lord and each other.
In May of 2019, there was a major shift in our lives, as Tim shares above, that led us to this moment. During these years of preparation, we have watched God bring healing, restoration, and a new level of wholeness in our own hearts and family, that we could not have possibly hoped for apart from Him.
As we have lived out the grace and truth that His Word has brought into our lives, the Lord has imparted a growing desire, as Tim puts it, “to know, show, and share the love of God” that we’ve had the privilege of living and experiencing.
Our Family
During the last 20 years, we’ve been blessed with four of the best kids ever: Kenzie (17), Titus (14), Emma (12), and Lucas “Luke” (10). They are an integral part of this story as they’ve walked out this adventure of faith with us and grown in their own personal walks with the Lord in the process.
We pray that as you get to know us, you will be inspired to grow deeper in your faith and trust in the Lord, and His ability to lead you into a deeper relationship with Him and a love for His Word, that truly can bring hope and healing to the hurting and broken.
We are so grateful that the Holy Spirit has led you here by whatever means, and we look forward to continuing to grow on this journey together, as the Lord expands our family through Elite Life Ministries and ministry partners throughout the world.
In His Grace,
Meagan
