In this episode of Now and Then Again, host Wendy Vanderwal Martin speaks with Meagan Harkins, a participant in the Henri Nouwen Society’s “30 Under 30” program. Meagan shares her journey from early encounters with Henri Nouwen’s writings to her current work in foster care and social work. Together, they explore themes of identity, belonging, and spiritual formation—reflecting on what it means to be human, to embrace limitation, and to find “home” in both God and self. Through honest conversation about transition, community, and the wisdom of Nouwen, this episode offers a hopeful vision for living with presence and purpose in a wounded world.
