• 247 | Called to Missions: Miraculous stories from Uganda, becoming a missionary, and supporting missions even without going abroad with Julianne Heilman

  If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to step into the mission field for Jesus —or how you can make a difference for the kingdom in global missions without leaving home — this is your episode. Today, I’m joined by Julianne Heilman, founder of Asifiwe Child Care Ministries in Uganda, a life-changing ministry that rescues vulnerable children, gives them hope and opportunity, and shares the love of Jesus. Think stories you’ve only read in missionary biographies—except they’re happening right now. This conversation is extra special for me, because She Lives Purposefully began as a college project where I interviewed six women who live with purpose—and Julianne was one of them! Now, years later, we get to sit down again and hear how God has been moving in powerful ways. In This Episode, We Talk About: How Julianne knew she was called by God to missions—and the spiritual & practical steps to take if you feel the same How Asifiwe Child Care Ministries began and where it is today  How to support missions even if you’re not called to go abroad Ways you can get involved Whether you’re praying about your own call to missions, looking for ways to support from home, or just want to be encouraged by God’s faithfulness, this conversation will inspire and challenge you.

• 243 | How to Be a Gospel-Centered Mom with Laura Wifler

  For the mamas who just want to raise their kids WELL in Christ, today, we’re talking about being a Gospel mom.  I’m joined by Laura Wifler—wife, mama, writer, podcaster, and co-founder of the global nonprofit Risen Motherhood.  Laura’s new book, cowritten with Emily Jensen, Gospel Mom, is for moms longing to live a Christ-centered life in the midst of messy, mundane motherhood. We dive deep into: What it really means to be a Gospel-centered mom How to tune out the noise of parenting advice and tune into truth Why the “little years” of motherhood are not “lost years”—and how God is at work in them Letting go of the “what if” and living faithfully in the “what is” Encouragement for weary moms navigating comparison, unmet expectations, and daily overwhelm Laura reminds us that our value doesn’t come from how productive or perfect we are—but from being rooted in Jesus and resting in His grace. 🎉 Grab Laura’s new book Gospel Mom (and don’t miss the companion workbook!): https://amzn.to/3IoYKoS Learn more about your ad choices.
