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 doesn’t move forward without strong character.

We also studied the word Shema from the Bible. It means to listen and obey as one action—not just hearing something, but responding to it. I even tell a wild story I heard when I was a teenager about a woman who stood on her head in a coat closet... because God told her to. And it saved a life.

What You'll Hear Me Talk About

• Why integrity is more than a good trait—it’s the center of everything
• What obedience really means in Scripture
• A powerful story about strange obedience that made an eternal difference
• How we’re teaching strong character through everyday choices
• How to say yes to God even when it doesn’t feel easy

Bible Verses in This Episode

• Ephesians 6:1–3 — “Obey your parents… so it may go well with you.”
• 1 Samuel 15:22 — “To obey is better than sacrifice.”
• Joshua 1:9 — “Be strong and courageous… the Lord your God is with you.”
• The Hebrew word Shema — to hear and obey

A Quote I Love

“Obedience is the key that opens the door to blessing.”

If this episode encouraged you, I’d love it if you shared it with a friend, left a review, or connected with me online. Remember: God’s not asking for perfection. He’s asking for your yes.

Let’s keep walking that out—one obedient step at a time.

Go when God calls.

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. Whether it’s whittling wood, crocheting, or baking, God can take what’s already in our hands and use it to build something bigger for His glory. We’ll dive into the idea of Kingdom infiltration — how God wants to show up in every part of our lives, not just in the “big” things, but in our workplaces, friendships, hobbies, and even our downtime. I’ll also share personal stories from my life in Mozambique — from whittling soap with the boys at Beacon of Hope to how my sister turned her love for baking into a ministry — showing that your mission field might be right where you are, with what you already have.

We’ll talk about using what’s in your hand like Moses’ staff, building online communities through spaces like the Global Unleashed Network and the Kingdom Builders Accelerator, and how simple hobbies can be tools for discipleship. I’ll also introduce you to Video Game Ministries, an innovative way to reach teens where they already spend their time — in gaming rooms and chat spaces. Today’s encouragement is simple: your passion is not too small, your hobby is not a waste, and your mission field might just start with what’s right in front of you.

In this episode, we welcome Melissa, who shares her incredible journey of faith as a missionary in Wales. From fulfilling a lifelong dream to live in the UK to facing life-altering challenges, Melissa opens up about her husband's accident shortly after their move and the struggles that followed. She reflects on how a crisis of faith led her to a profound realization that life with God is both mountain tops and valleys. Through her story, she reveals how God shaped her identity and taught her that faith isn't about a pain-free life, but about overcoming challenges with Christ.

Melissa also discusses how an unexpected call to video content transformed her life. After a random TikTok post went viral with 22 million views and landed her on "The Kelly Clarkson Show", Melissa discovered a new way to spread the gospel through social media. She and Angie talk about how the modern platform of cell phones allows anyone to share their faith globally. This conversation offers inspiration on embracing challenges and using unconventional tools to fulfill God's mission.
