Shortly after graduating, my love for teaching and coaching gave way to a growing passion for ministering to the spiritual needs of college students.

As a staff member with Cru, an interdenominational Christian ministry, I had the privilege of creating and helping to teach an award winning philosophy course in Science and Religion at Montana State University.

While at Harvard, I have been able to work together with some incredible stu ...more

Quotes by Pat McLeod (?)

“Ambiguous disappointment often accompanies ambiguous loss. For so long we disappointed each other--drawing close when the other needed space, keeping our distance when the other needed closeness, misreading each other's cues about whether an incident was comedic or catastrophic in the other's opinion, misjudging which of our children needed us most at any given moment.”
― Pat McLeod, Hit Hard: One Family's Journey of Letting Go of What Was--and Learning to Live Well with What Is

“When a loss is ambiguous, no public ceremony acknowledges the loss and its fallout, or honors the memory of the loved one. It was true for us. People still were unsure how to respond to the endlessness of our unique form of loss. Should they grieve with us or pretend life was fine now that Zach had lived through it all? Would we resent it if they didn't mention the injury, or if they did?”

“Until that moment, I had assumed my job--my role in the crisis--was to absorb the grief, anger, and pain building up and spilling out around Tammy and our kids. Absorb their grief so they wouldn't feel the full brunt. My job. But that night, I expressed my sorrow rather than trying to deflect or divert the hard hit Tammy had also taken. Judging from her response, it appeared more meaningful to her than the strength I'd been trying to portray.”
