Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a remote Amazonian indigenous people group killed her husband Jim and his four colleagues. And yet, she stayed in the jungle with her young daughter to minister to the very people who had thrown the spears, demonstrating the power of Christ’s forgiveness.This courageous, no-nonsense Christian went on to write dozens of books, host a long-running radio show, and speak at conferences all over the world. She was a pillar of coherent, committed faith—a beloved and sometimes controversial icon. Author and Elisabeth Elliot biographer Ellen Vaughn joins the podcast to talk about researching Elisabeth’s life and being given access to her personal private journals. Turns out, that while things in the limelight might have looked golden, Elisabeth’s suffering continued refining her in many different and unexpected ways.
