Our special guest today is Elizabeth Boss. She and her husband Jacob have been missionaries for the International Mission Board since 2008. Their family has served in both Asia and Europe. She also grew up as a PK (that's a Pastor's Kid, for all non-PKers out there!). She has loved Jesus since her earliest memories, and she has desired to follow Him all her life.

All of those sincere and true characteristics, however, did not keep her from experiencing panic attacks and crippling anxiety. She had her first attack while back in the States dealing with a family crisis. They eventually had to take an extended furlough while she got the help she needed. Her story is an example of God's amazing grace and healing, and will touch your heart.

Elizabeth says obedience is saying yes to anytime, anywhere when God gives you something to pursue. Being in ministry does not keep those in it from experiencing pain, depression, anxiety, confusion, and questioning. We need to continually pray for the ones "in the field." We are to bring everything to Christ and release it. You'll love Elizabeth and be blessed to hear her story.
