What happens when two ordinary moms say yes to an extraordinary call? We open our lives to you—our blended family, our co-grandmother bond, the garage sale that turned into a launchpad, and the fragile moments in hospital hallways that redefined our courage. Shannon’s journey through Cushing’s disease and a grim brain diagnosis pushed us to pray when answers ran dry. Doctors set limits. We learned to ask for a sound mind, steady hearts, and the strength to keep loving people in front of us.

That yes led to Thailand and beyond—into villages marked by poverty, idol altars, and surprising hospitality. We talk about sharing faith without pretending life is tidy, and how honesty about illness made room for real connection. Donnie’s transformation from stunned spouse to cross-border rescuer shows what trust can do when fear is loud. Along the way, we discovered that mission is both a passport and a posture: cry out for direction, show up for people, and let God use small daily choices to create outsized impact.

Back home, the mission matured into training teams, nurturing community, and building a spiritual legacy that stretches across children, grandchildren, and new sons and daughters by marriage. We dig into the hard work of releasing offense, breaking unhealthy patterns, and choosing forgiveness that actually frees families. If you’ve ever wondered whether your yes matters, this story is for you: a reminder that God uses ordinary people, that comfort can make us sleepwalk, and that dependence can wake us up to purpose. If this speaks to you, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review to help others find the show. What’s your next brave yes?
