Go When God Calls

This episode originally aired on February 28, 2024 and marked the very beginning of the Go When God Calls podcast.

I’m resharing it now because the message is still the same — God calls ordinary people, and our yes matters more than our confidence or clarity. Since this episode first aired, God has continued to grow Beacon of Hope Africa, the Go Missionary Network, and the lives connected to this journey.

Below, you&rsq...

In this episode of Go When God Calls, I share the prophetic word God spoke over my life at the very beginning of my missionary journey — a word that didn’t make sense then, but has unfolded over twenty-five years in ways I could have never imagined.

From my first trip to Mozambique in 1999, to the early days of Beacon of Hope Africa, to the young men who are now husbands, fathers, business owners, worship leaders, and f...

In this episode, I share something God showed me while I was teaching the boys at Beacon of Hope Africa. We were talking about obedience, but it turned into something bigger.

I explained how integrity is like the center of a wagon wheel. The other traits—like kindness, trust, forgiveness, and perseverance—are the spokes. The wheel can’t roll without strong spokes, and life...

Show Notes: In today’s episode, I’m sharing how God can use even the simple things we love — our hobbies and passions — for His Kingdom.

We’ll dive into the idea of Kingdom infiltration — how God wants to show up in every part of ...

Together, we explore the deep role of motherhood as a mission field, the challenges of releasing a child into God's calling, and how g...

Episode Description:

This Easter week, I’m sharing what I taught our boys here at Beacon of Hope Africa about Holy Week—from Palm Sunday to Resurrection Sunday. We talk about how Jesus didn’t come just to fix our problems but to save our hearts, how He chose forgiveness even in pain, and what it means that the curtain in the temple was torn. This episode walks through the timeline of Holy Week, the power of the cr...

Welcome to another episode of Go When God Calls. Today’s episode is about how God sees you in the little things—the small cravings, quiet needs, and even the struggles that nobody else sees. Whether you’re serving on the mission field, at home, or just going through daily life, we often feel that God only notices the big moments, the grand gestures. But it’s often in the small, seemingly insignificant moment...

Sometimes the hardest things hit us without warning. A few weeks ago, I was home alone, and I had a fall that could’ve ended in tragedy. I passed out and woke up in a puddle of water—just inches from an extension cord. It could have gone very differently. But it didn’t.

“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” – James 5:16

In this episode, I share the story of what happened, ...

Obedience isn’t always easy, it often means stepping into the unknown, waiting longer than we want, or letting go of something we love without knowing what comes next. In this episode, I share a personal story of how God spoke to me about a transition I didn’t understand at the time, but later, I could see His perfect plan unfolding. Trusting God’s voice, even when it doesn’t make sense, is one of the hardes...

Welcome back to another episode of Go When God Calls!

Today’s episode is close to my heart as I celebrate 24 years of God’s faithfulness here in Mozambique, Africa. When I stepped off the plane on December 15, 2000, I thought I was saying yes to just one year. Little did I know what God had planned. This isn’t just my story; it’s a story of stepping out in faith and trusting God with the unknown. Whether you...
