God is a spiritual cyclone. The way you know he’s pulling you in is that you feel yourself being hurled back out. Going into that cyclone often feels destructive. But that’s only God breaking open the shell of your “seed.” Though painful, it’s a good pain, because out of it comes gospel life. – J.D. Greear, Gaining by Losing
On today’s episode, we dive in to one couple’s journey of going “all in” and responding to God’s call. God T-boned them by calling them out of a fruitful ministry in Nampa, Idaho asking them to move to London to become missionaries. When this interview was recorded, they had not yet gone public with their resignation as pastors, nor did their kids know about it. I’m giving you a sneak peek behind the scenes. You’ll hear about the struggles and heartbreak that go along with responding to the call to become missionaries, as well as see how God is preparing and comforting them in this time. Next week, they’ll be back to walk us through what it was like going public. Make sure and subscribe in iTunes or Stitcher so you don’t miss it.
