About Your Family
God’s plans were far bigger and better than I could have envisioned. I’m married to my steadfast husband of 14 years, Jason McMahon. I get to be a mom to 6 inspiring children who have likely raised me more than I have raised them in our super blended family. Our children’s ages range from 21-5 and they keep life fresh for us daily. We have one dog, Luke, and three cats, Gidget, Keeley, and Roy Kent. We are unbelievably blessed to have the most wonderful village of extended family and friends around us, encouraging us daily.
What is your story?
From a very early age I found myself in awe of God. I grew up observing and sharing in the compassionate faith of my parents in an ecumenically minded church in South Bend, Indiana. Unfortunately, the initial awe of my childhood wonder was overshadowed by worldly discouragement and a vast array of struggles through my teen and young adult years.
I am a prodigal who returned home, finding my way back to a renewed relationship with Christ right here at Rockpointe Church where I have attended for the better part of the last 17 years.
I’m so truly grateful that I have once again been restored to the awe and wonder of God I delighted in as a child, and am now able to trust more fully each day in His plans and promises. I’m insatiably curious, I have a heart that longs to encourage those walking through suffering, and I love how God continues to show me that what He allows he will use for our good and His glory.
What is something about you most people don't know?
I am a pretty big nerd, I love podcasts about theology or psychology, I could spend hours coming up with a good playlist, and I also send my kids way too many goofy Insta reels to show them I’m thinking of them.
What is your trademark expression?
My family would say it’s “Drink water”, “You betcha”, “Not until after coffee”, or “You’re only as sick as your secrets”. But, I’m going to go with Walt Whitman on this one, “Be curious, not judgmental”.
Besides the Bible, what would you recommend reading?
Mere Christianity (or anything by C.S. Lewis), Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene’ Brown, Everybody Always by Bob Goff, Managing Leadership Anxiety by Steve Cuss are a few of my favs.
What are you most excited about?
Reading so many books! I have a growing list of books I’ve been trying to carve out time to read and am looking forward to learning new things as a part of the RPC team.
What do you like to watch on tv?
The Chosen, Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Parks and Rec, and watching the best of moments of Family Feud
What do you do in your free time?
I listen to lots of music, study the Bible, play board games with family and friends, listen to podcasts, read, go on Target runs with my kids, enjoy dinner with friends, drink coffee, and get lost in a great conversation.
