Cory and Megan's story began at Redeemer's Church in Reedley, CA in 2021. Megan was working at the front office at the same time Cory moved to Sanger, CA (a nearby town). Both began their recovery journeys at Celebrate Recovery at Redeemer's on the same night. Soon after that night, every Wednesday afternoon Megan would let Cory in the front office to meet with her co-worker, Matt (his sponsor and their officiant!). After a couple months of this routine Megan realized she had thought that two different men were coming in on Wednesdays, only to find out that she had watched Cory's complete transformation before her eyes! He looked like a different person! He looked kind, confident and joyful. Over the next few months, Megan began to notice Cory's joyful attitude in serving others. He always helped at church and community events with set up, take down, and anything that was needed. During this time, Cory was noticing Megan's kindness and would thank her all the time for it. Pretty quickly a beautiful friendship was formed. And then one night after a class at the church, Megan felt called to pray for a moment to speak to Cory after Celebrate Recovery ended that same night. And lo and behold, as soon as Megan walked out the doors there Cory was- outside, standing by himself! So they joke about that moment- that Megan pursued first but Cory fell in love first. Both knew there was something special happening and saw God working in all the details that brought the two together.
