Motherhood, Missions, & Mexico: A Conversation with Stephanie Granger Part 2

What does missions look like through the eyes of a wife and mother? In this powerful episode, Trent sits down with his wife, Missionary Stephanie Granger, for one of the most heartfelt conversations ever recorded on Holding the Rope. Stephanie shares her journey from becoming a mother in Monterrey during language school… to planting churches with a baby on her hip… to facing the fear of a medical crisis on the mission field… to the heartbreak of leaving Mexico when it felt like the work had only just begun. But the story doesn’t end in sorrow. God proved Himself faithful as the churches continued to grow, the distribution center launched, and their daughter received a clean bill of health. Now, the Granger family is preparing to return to Mexico — this time with three children and even greater resolve. This episode is a raw, encouraging, and deeply human look at the cost — and beauty — of following Christ as a missionary wife and mother.
