The father.
Bryan endured years of childhood trauma, the excruciating loss of his 21-year-old daughter Abbe, failed marriages, the near loss of his daughter Bryn, and substantial financial and relational hardship.

Helping to restore families through our story of tragedy, loss, and ultimately transformation and redemption.
M46 Ministries was co-founded by father-daughter team Bryan and Bryn Elliott, born out of their personal stories of tragedy and extreme loss, redeemed by Jesus and transformed into testimonies of Jesus. M46 is built around the idea of practicing a better way together, so that all might hear and see God’s transformative power and experience His healing love.
Bryan endured years of childhood trauma, the excruciating loss of his 21-year-old daughter Abbe, failed marriages, the near loss of his daughter Bryn, and substantial financial and relational hardship.
Bryn’s life was marked by trauma, abuse, addiction, rape, rebellion, and the tragic murder of her older sister, Abbe. Struggling to face her circumstances, Bryn found herself hopeless, alone, and wishing for death.
Their grief was unimaginable. Their father-daughter relationship was crumbling. They were being crushed by the weight of their pain, and saw no way out. Bryn had turned to drugs and self-destructive behaviors to cope, which led to even more abuse and pain. Bryan had already lost one daughter — now he was losing the other, and he was desperate to save her.
Bryan and Bryn searched for answers in all the places the world had to offer, but it was only in fully surrendering their lives to Jesus Christ that everything changed. After Bryan first turned his heart towards God at age 46 and then to his daughter, a new story began.
Bryan and Bryn are accomplished authors and plan to continue publishing books to tell their story and spread the Gospel. Bryn’s first book, Dying to Live, has received numerous accolades and continues to inspire and give hope to brokenhearted people everywhere.

We found healing, hope, joy, and a new purpose in life
It doesn’t matter what story you were born into or how far from hope you may feel. We tried everything – literally everything – to fix our brokenness and it only led to dead ends. But there is hope. When we went all in with Jesus, our journey with the Waymaker, Author, and Perfecter of “a better way” led us to what we were ultimately looking for – life abundant.
If you’re searching for answers, if you’re feeling lost or hopeless, or on a journey of growth, we invite you to join us.
