In this episode of The Rest Is Just Geography, Chesed sits down with Henry and Leigh—two people who have spent the last twenty years serving overseas in diverse corners of the world. Beginning in their single years and continuing as they married and started a family, God led them from remote and rugged landscapes to bustling urban centers. Listen in as they share their journey of endurance across cultures, continents, and changing seasons of life and ministry.

Together, they reflect on what it means to embrace “the long obedience” amid constant change, drawing from Hebrews 12:1 and its call to run the race with endurance. Their stories remind us that while the backdrop of ministry may shift - from country to country, assignment to assignment, season to season - the core posture of faithful obedience remains beautifully unchanged, rooted in the rhythms they first formed during their years of emerging adulthood.
