The Practical Missions Podcast
Pod #50 Coming to Terms with the Different Seasons in Life
It’s a very child-loving culture but not a very child-friendly environment.
On today’s pod, I talk to a married mother of four, serving in a hard place. We talk about sexual harassment, feelings of overwhelm, staying spiritually healthy, and finding times of rest. It’s a fascinating and helpful conversation that I know you will benefit from.

The devil was able to make me feel degraded by the sexual harassment and to tell me that your not worth respect and that you are just an object. It was the entry point for a lot of lies, a lot of deep lies that concerned identity.
