What do you do when God calls you back to the place that took everything from you? In this episode, we sit down with Rachel Brondyke to unpack the remarkable life of Elizabeth Elliot — part two of our Jim and Elizabeth Elliot series. From boarding school in Florida to the jungles of Ecuador, Elizabeth's story is one of uncommon preparation, patient suffering, and radical forgiveness. She lived among her husband's killers, raised her daughter in the Amazon, and spent decades inspiring a generation of believers through her writing and teaching. Her life answers one of the hardest questions a Christian can face: What does obedience look like when it costs you everything?
