Becoming Elisabeth Elliot Book Club W4: Chapter 15-19
When it comes to our homes and callings, how do we define success? What would happen if we saw fruitfulness not in "coherent answers" or preferred outcomes, but true and wholehearted obedience?
This week we cover such life transition in Elisabeth's life - from single to courtship, from engagement to marriage, from pregnancy to motherhood! The missionary journey takes off with a bang, and we join Elisabeth in the jungle where she is translating the Word of God into the tribal language and supporting Jim. She faces many grueling challenges along the way, and if you are discouraged chapters 15-19 will be a safe place for you to land. Lia and I share the ways that the missionaries' philosophy of ministry is changing the game for us. "Watching" this group of people live their lives as faithfully as they can is changing the way we see God at work in our own stories, the way we manage time, and how we define "success" according to the Kingdom and not the world!
