38. Molly Sanborn | If You Have a Pulse, You Have a Purpose

If you've ever wondered whether God can use the most ordinary, unexpected, even a little ridiculous thing in your life to reach someone else — this episode is going to leave you with a full heart and probably a craving for cheese balls. Amy and Jenny sit down with Molly Sanborn, speaker, author, and founder of Whatever You Do Ministries, whose wild obedience to a simple calling has taken her from a middle seat on an airplane to viral videos, open heart surgery, and divine encounters she never could have scripted. Molly walks us through the story that started it all — a giant container of cheese balls, a flight attendant with a microphone, and a conversation that went from snacks to Jesus in ten seconds flat. What began as a fun moment in 2008 has grown into a ministry built on the belief that God uses the foolish things of this world to accomplish His purposes, and that every single person you meet is carrying a story worth drawing out. In this episode, Molly shares: How a bicuspid aortic valve discovered in childhood led to open heart surgery, two unexpected follow-up surgeries, and a faith that only grew stronger through all of it The viral moment with Nurse Jen that sent her book flying off Amazon, connected her with a rancher in Texas, and launched Whatever You Do Ministries into a new season What it looks like to say yes to God when you're grumpy, running late, and absolutely do not want to strap on the cheese balls The divine encounters — in elevators, MRI machines, and hospital waiting rooms — that prove obedience always leads somewhere beautiful Why she and her husband launched their ministry in the middle of the hardest season of their lives, and how God showed up anyway Molly is also working on her next book, Surrender to the Surgeon, a devotional born from her open heart surgery journey — and yes, she is already back competing in Ninja after three surgeries, because of course she is. She is a living reminder that God doesn't need you to be polished, prepared, or even in a good mood. He just needs your yes. Follow Molly here: https://www.instagram.com/cheeseballchick
