Go When God Calls

Show Notes: In today’s episode, I’m sharing how God can use even the simple things we love — our hobbies and passions — for His Kingdom. Whether it’s whittling wood, crocheting, or baking, God can take what’s already in our hands and use it to build something bigger for   His glory. We’ll dive into the idea of Kingdom infiltration — how God wants to show up in every part of our lives, not just in the “big” things, but in our workpl...

Together, we explore the deep role of motherhood as a mission field, the challenges of releasing a child into God's calling, and how grandmo...

Episode Description:

This Easter week, I’m sharing what I taught our boys here at Beacon of Hope Africa about Holy Week—from Palm Sunday to Resurrection Sunday. We talk about how Jesus didn’t come just to fix our problems but to save our hearts, how He chose forgiveness even in pain, and what it means that the curtain in the temple was torn. This episode walks through the timeline of Holy Week, the power of the cross, and the hope ...

Welcome to another episode of Go When God Calls. Today’s episode is about how God sees you in the little things—the small cravings, quiet needs, and even the struggles that nobody else sees. Whether you’re serving on the mission field, at home, or just going through daily life, we often feel that God only notices the big moments, the grand gestures. But it’s often in the small, seemingly insignificant moments where God shows up. To...

Sometimes the hardest things hit us without warning. A few weeks ago, I was home alone, and I had a fall that could’ve ended in tragedy. I passed out and woke up in a puddle of water—just inches from an extension cord. It could have gone very differently. But it didn’t.

“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” – James 5:16

In this episode, I share the story of what happened, how God protected me, and how the po...

Obedience isn’t always easy, it often means stepping into the unknown, waiting longer than we want, or letting go of something we love without knowing what comes next. In this episode, I share a personal story of how God spoke to me about a transition I didn’t understand at the time, but later, I could see His perfect plan unfolding. Trusting God’s voice, even when it doesn’t make sense, is one of the hardest yet most rewarding par...

Welcome back to another episode of Go When God Calls!

Today’s episode is close to my heart as I celebrate 24 years of God’s faithfulness here in Mozambique, Africa. When I stepped off the plane on December 15, 2000, I thought I was saying yes to just one year. Little did I know what God had planned. This isn’t just my story; it’s a story of stepping out in faith and trusting God with the unknown. Whether you feel called to serve in...

Through letters like Romans and Philippians and the relationships he nurtured, Paul shows us that our actions today can ripple into future generations.

Today, I shared about Saul’s incredible transformation after his sight was restored. His first steps as a new believer were marked by baptism, a powerful commitment to follow Jesus publicly, even though he had once opposed Him.

It’s a powerful example ...

In this episode of Go When God Calls, I reflect on a recent interview with Ryan Reger on his podcast, Unleashed. I share my thoughts on "putting things on the shelf," which is about hearing from God but not rushing to make things happen on our own timeline. This approach shaped my journey as a missionary, from receiving prophetic words about serving African children to trusting God’s perfect timing for everything to unfold. I’ve le...
