Am I a weird Christian? [Alison's story]

Alison joins Joel and Brayden to share her journey from growing up in a Christian family to making her faith her own. Raised in the snowy town of Cooma with parents in ministry, she wrestled with identity and faith through high school before fully committing to Jesus at 17.From eating hot chips out of a tank loaf to discovering friends who quietly went to church, Alison reflects on the everyday moments and challenges that shaped her. She also shares about ten years as a missionary in Austria — the joys, struggles, and lessons of serving overseas and raising three children in a different culture.Returning to Australia brought fresh challenges, but also renewed passion for helping others grow in their faith. Alison’s story is an encouragement to embrace your unique journey with God and live it out with courage and community.
