Faith Leap To A Mission Trip w/Dahlia Goldsmith

Send us Fan MailEight women, one bathroom, a bush plane into a remote Alaska village, and a calling that felt way too expensive at first. I’m joined by my friend Dahlia Goldsmith as she shares what it really looked like to say yes to her first Christian mission trip while she was in the middle of transition, wrestling with feeling unworthy, and wondering if she was truly “ready” for God to use her. We talk through the moment Isaiah 43:19 kept coming up, how Matthew 6:33 challenged her to put God first even with real financial responsibilities, and how provision showed up through fundraising support and unexpected help along the way. Dahlia also opens up about the fears many women of faith carry quietly, the need for confirmation, and the relief of realizing you don’t have to be perfect to be obedient. From landing in Anchorage to navigating travel delays and stepping into village life, we reflect on team unity, daily devotion and communion, serving the community through VBS and women’s ministry, and why excellence still matters even when the numbers are smaller than expected. Dahlia shares the biggest takeaway she brought home: boldness, deeper trust, and a hunger to keep the overflow going long after the trip ends. If you’ve been sensing God calling you to something new, press play, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find these mission trip stories and faith-building conversations.
