What does it look like for women to live on mission in the everyday rhythms of life and work? In this episode, Courtney Moore and Missie Branch welcome David Platt, who challenges listeners to embrace the Great Commission with renewed courage, purpose, and dependence on Christ. Together, they discuss the vital role women play in the church, the beauty of ordinary faithfulness, and the call to share the gospel wherever God has placed us.

From conversations about evangelism and local missions to encouragement for weary seasons, this episode offers practical wisdom and gospel hope for women longing to serve God faithfully. Courtney, Missie, and David remind listeners that success in God’s kingdom is not measured by platform or productivity, but by abiding in Christ and saying “yes” to the work He’s entrusted to us. Whether you serve in the workplace, the home, the church, or your community, this conversation will inspire you to see your everyday life as part of God’s greater mission.
