E2: Faith In The Deep End

In today’s episode of Beauty in the Real, I’m joined by a missionary serving in Thailand who also grew up as a missionary kid. For the past 10 years, she and her husband have been raising their three boys overseas — including their oldest, who is autistic.We talk about the reality of missionary life beyond the highlight reel, parenting a child with autism in another culture, caring for your body as a form of stewardship, and walking through the deep grief of losing her mom while living far from home.Together, we reflect on Psalm 42:7 — “Deep calls to deep” — and what it means to encounter God in the deep waters of motherhood, ministry, and loss.If you’re in a stretching or tender season, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone — and that there is beauty, even here.
