Every missionary experiences discouragement at some point, and as moms, we feel it too. When our missionary calls home saying, “I don’t know if I’m cut out for this,” or “I don’t feel like I belong here,” our instinct is to fix it. But what if our job isn’t to fix their discouragement but to help them see their worth—no matter what?
In this episode, we dive into how we (and our missionaries) often tie our worth to external validation—success, numbers, obedience, or even how well we support our kids. Inspired by Worthy by Jamie Kern Lima, we explore:
Missionary work isn’t about proving anything—it’s about becoming something. And the same is true for us.
