Episode 154: Not Super Christians: Nick and Amanda’s Journey

In this episode of In All Things, Dean Weaver sits down with Nick and Amanda, global workers of the EPC, to explore the joys and challenges of following God’s call. Nick and Amanda share candidly about their doubts, struggles, and how their home church and presbytery have been vital in their journey. They remind us that missionaries aren’t “super Christians” but ordinary people relying on an extraordinary God. Through tough seasons, they’ve discovered the gentle and faithful character of God, who sustains their family and work.

 

Join us as we unpack what it means to live out the gospel in the everyday and embrace God’s call with authenticity and trust.
