What happens when God calls you somewhere you never expected to go? In this episode, I sit down with my husband, Matt Parker, to hear the remarkable story of how a short-term mission trip to post-war Lebanon changed the course of his life. From teaching in an English elementary school to serving in ministry overseas, Matt shares how God used ordinary moments, unexpected relationships, and a simple willingness to say "yes" to reveal His plans. If you're wondering whether God might be calling you into something new, this conversation will encourage you to listen, trust, and take that first step of faith.
