A high school senior named Faith tried to dodge a demanding missions course with every excuse in the book—time, cost, workload. Then the excuses crumbled, doors opened, and a quiet prayer for boldness began to change everything. What followed was a vivid dream about Jesus’ return, tears at youth camp, and a defining moment of surrender that turned fear into joy.

We sit down to talk about the subtle pull of culture and how music and media can bend our mood and normalize what doesn’t give life. Faith explains how discernment—not legalism—helped her ask better questions: does this draw me closer to God, or nudge me away? From there, we trace her path across two Mexico trips. On the first, she checked the box and still watched God gather a crowd around a simple gospel story. On the second, prayer and sharing became a delight, not a duty.

The conversation deepens around identity—naming who God says we are and noticing the tangible difference it makes. With resources like Living Fearlessly and Identity Exchange, Faith learned to replace pressure with presence and to live from truth rather than self-talk. We also unpack the urgency of the unreached and the 10/40 Window, where billions live with little to no access to the gospel. Perspectives didn’t just inform; it connected Faith to mentors and a Middle East opportunity, expanding her view of what obedience can look like right now.

If you’ve ever felt the ache of “something’s missing,” wrestled with FOMO, or wondered how to start living on mission, this story will nudge you toward a simple next yes. Listen, reflect, and share it with a friend who needs courage today. If it resonated, follow the show, leave a review, and tell us: what bold step is on your heart this week?
