  • Why You Should Stop Performing for the People Who Sent You with Bob Goff
    Apr 2 2026

    Have you ever caught yourself angling the camera just right, choosing the words that make your ministry sound a little more impressive than it actually is? What if the pressure to perform is actually the thing standing between you and the life God designed you for? What if joy is closer to your insecurity than you ever imagined?

    In this episode, Stephanie sits down with author, speaker, and former ambassador Bob Goff for a conversation that is equal parts hilarious and deeply freeing. From Bob's own struggle with insecurity to why we should all aspire to be Roombas, to the time he walked into San Quentin dressed as Santa Claus, this episode will make you laugh, exhale, and give you full permission to stop spinning.


    In This Episode, You’ll Learn

    • Why the most joyful people are often the most insecure, and what that means for the way you show up on the field
    • How to tell the difference between leading from love and leading from fear, and why one of them is slowly exhausting you
    • Why God delights in your small, bumbling, imperfect steps far more than you have been giving him credit for

  • The Retirement Question Every Missionary Is Avoiding with Elias Reyes
    Mar 19 2026

    Are you preparing for your financial future, or are you hoping it takes care of itself? What does it actually look like to invest on a missionary income? And is it even possible when support fluctuates month to month?

    In this episode, Stephanie sits down with Elias Reyes, president of Modern Day Missions and a financial consultant with 25+ years of experience serving missionaries and nonprofit leaders. They talk about the retirement realities most missionaries are not prepared for and simple steps they can take to get on track. This is a conversation about faith, stewardship, and practical things you can do right now, no matter where you are starting from.

    In This Episode You’ll Learn:

    • Why waiting to invest is one of the costliest decisions a missionary can make, and what the numbers actually look like over time
    • How to start investing on an inconsistent income, even if you can only set aside a small amount each month
    • The difference between saving and investing, and why you need both working together to protect your family's future

  • Support Raising Without Shame Or Games with Ben Ankarlo
    Mar 5 2026

    In this episode, Stephanie sits down with Ben Ankarlo, fundraising coach at Modern Day Missions, to unpack what is really happening beneath the surface of support raising. Together, they explore how fear unknowingly shapes decisions, why some missionaries default to self-funding or scarcity, and how embarrassment and control can distort the way we invite others into partnership. Ben shares from lived experience as a missionary who is still actively fundraising today.

    You’ll learn why clarity builds trust, how to remove the awkwardness from the ask, and a simple text-to-text approach that helps you follow through with confidence. If support raising has felt emotionally draining or unnecessarily complicated, this conversation will help you approach it with steadiness, integrity, and a renewed sense of purpose.
