Missionary Life
A podcast about how helpers can thrive in their mission. Whether you are a missionary living overseas, in ministry, or a missional mother, this podcast will offer practical tools on how to remain spiritually, emotionally, and physically healthy while living missionally. The missionary life is lonely and full of loss, trauma, heartbreak, disappointment, and life not turning out how we expected. I want you to be able to heal from these experiences and build resilience. Learn to prevent and heal trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout in in-depth interviews with mental health professionals and other missionaries. I will bring my many years of experience in missions and wisdom to the table to help you live your life on purpose while thriving at the same time. A must-listen for all missionaries and those who support them.
I would love to hear from you and answer your questions! Please leave me a voicemail with your question or feedback and I may choose it to be answered on air! https://www.speakpipe.com/MissionaryLife

Grief, Rituals, and Allowing Joy with Amanda Held Opelt
This is my favorite episode so far as I'm honored to have Amanda Held Opelt, sister of Rachel Held Evans, and author of A Hole in the World, sharing about the excruciating grief she went through with the loss of her sister and how through the practice of rituals she was able to heal and reconnect with her faith. We also discuss her humanitarian aid work, and how she learned to allow joy and grief to coexist, as well as what it looks like to grieve alongside others. This is a special episode you won't want to miss. To connect with Amanda or read her new book Holy Unhappiness go to https://amandaheldopelt.com/.
