EP 2: Torn Between Leaving Well or Running Away From Your Messy Family
When you feel called to cross-cultural work, the hardest part isn’t always fundraising, language learning, or even moving overseas, but navigating family. Parents, siblings, and loved ones all carry expectations, fears, and hopes for your future, and those can collide with your calling in messy ways.
In this episode, Michael, Mark, and Carly get real about what it’s like to **navigate family relationships with a desire to serve abroad**. From parental fears to sibling dynamics to the tension of honoring family while stepping into obedience, this conversation is raw, honest, and deeply personal.
If you’ve ever wrestled with how to move forward when your family doesn’t fully understand your calling, this episode is for you.
