Our Life As Ministry Podcast

Even in the Valley, You are Still on Mission

Have you ever wondered what God is calling you to do with your life? Or maybe you had a pretty good idea - until life threw you a few curve balls. Suddenly, your capacity is maxed out, your routines are upside down, and it feels hard enough just to make it through the day. How are we supposed to live out a calling in seasons like that? WELL…I have great news. Today I share about knowing your mission and staying on mission - even in the valley seasons of life. Grab your notebook and a pen, because in this episode, I might get a little Bible-nerdy, i’ll show you some things you may not have noticed before about our calling as Christians. AND I’ll walk you through the GLORY framework to help you prepare for the unique and meaningful opportunities God has placed in front of you! If you are like me and in a hard season, I hope this episode encourages you to keep going and to always remember, even in the valley, we are still on mission. xo BeckiIf you missed the last episode when I shared what the Bible really says about rejoicing in our suffering, you can listen to it here [https://beckibaxter.substack.com/p/what-the-bible-actually-says-about]. ***If this podcast encouraged you, would you consider passing it along to a friend who might need some hope today?

What the Bible Actually Says About Rejoicing in Suffering

Romans 5:3-5 “We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” This is a public episode.

What Happens Next - Getting to the End of our Son's Cancer Treatment

Last week, my body completely crashed. Like I’m talking, could barely get my head off the pillow in the middle of the day type of crash. Genuinely concerned that something was wrong with me, I asked his nurse about it and she just smiled and said it was very common for parents to crash at the end of treatment - to which I responded with some big ol fat tears. It’s the entire year catching up at once. We’re no longer running to hospital appointments every other day, planning for the scheduled over-night stays or mentally preparing for the unplanned ones. It’s been almost a year of mental, physical and spiritual stretching. And as quickly as it started - it’s finished....I’m going to keep podcasting and sharing what God is doing. I’m excited to share more of the tools and practical ways I have stayed in His word and been equipped for this season. If you’re interested in the tools and practical ways to stay in God’s Word that I will be sharing soon, make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out! This is a public episode.

I Couldn't Believe This Happened In The Hospital...

I may be switching to a video-podcast format moving forward. Believe it or not, it actually takes me less time and is easier for me to communicate via video. I will still be sharing stories of Bronson and his treatment and what God is teaching us in this time! ***If this post encouraged you, would you consider passing it along to a friend who might need some hope today?
