Interview with Melissa Lea Hughes

from Go When God Calls · host Angie Wheeler Sibia

In this episode, we welcome Melissa, who shares her incredible journey of faith as a missionary in Wales. From fulfilling a lifelong dream to live in the UK to facing life-altering challenges, Melissa opens up about her husband's accident shortly after their move and the struggles that followed. She reflects on how a crisis of faith led her to a profound realization that life with God is both mountain tops and valleys. Through her story, she reveals how God shaped her identity and taught her that faith isn't about a pain-free life, but about overcoming challenges with Christ. Melissa also discusses how an unexpected call to video content transformed her life. After a random TikTok post went viral with 22 million views and landed her on "The Kelly Clarkson Show", Melissa discovered a new way to spread the gospel through social media. She and Angie talk about how the modern platform of cell phones allows anyone to share their faith globally. This conversation offers inspiration on embracing challenges and using unconventional tools to fulfill God's mission.
