In this episode of The Rest is Just Geography, a podcast from Liberty University, Rees—an emerging adult who loves Jesus, exploration, and understanding people—joins Chesed to share how research plays a vital role in taking the Gospel to the nations. Rees reflects on his time overseas, where he traveled into unengaged areas to learn about the people, culture, and context. His research helped pave the way for others to engage these communities with the Gospel. Together, they explore the intersection of curiosity, calling, and courage—what it means to assess risk wisely and walk boldly into the unknown for the sake of Christ. Rees’s story invites listeners to consider how an adventurous spirit, thoughtful preparation, and Spirit-led obedience can work hand-in-hand in cross-cultural Gospel work.

In this episode of The Rest is Just Geography, a podcast from Liberty University, Chesed sits down with KP, an international adoptee who grew up in the United States and now lives in Asia, near the country of her birth. KP shares her intercultural journey and the ways God has led her through seasons of transition, calling, and identity.

Together they reflect on what it means to choose “the better obedience” — the moments when two paths are before you, and you choose the one that draws you deeper into following Jesus. In times of uncertainty, KP turns to Psalm 37 as a grounding reminder to wait on the Lord and trust His timing when considering which way to go. Her story highlights both the beauty and the weight of obedience, showing how surrender leads to joy and closeness with Christ.

In this episode of The Rest is Just Geography, a podcast from Liberty University, Chesed sits down with Mary, a fellow adult third culture kid, to reflect on a season of transition, faithfulness, and being seen by God. Mary shares her story of coming to college in the United States and then moving back overseas for two years in her early 20s — a time marked by quiet obedience and deep questions.

Through their friendship and the story of Bezalel in Exodus 31, God reminded both Mary and Chesed that He sees, He knows, and He calls by name. In a season where both felt unseen in their daily faithfulness, this truth became a lifeline. This conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder that God honors faithfulness, even when no one else sees it.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that the Kingdom of Heaven is good news for today—not just for eternity.

Together, they reflect on how you can trust God enough to follow Him anywhere, even when the path ahead is unclear, because He is completely trustworthy.
