Join me as I share about our recent mission trip to Pakistan, where my husband and I had the life-changing opportunity to help families break free from the grip of modern-day slavery in the brick kilns. Yes, slavery still exists—and it’s heartbreaking. In this episode, I share the highs and lows, the resilience of those who endure unthinkable hardships, and the joy of watching them embrace freedom.

This story isn’t just for those interested in missions; it’s for anyone who’s ever felt trapped or hopeless. You'll find stories of unwavering hope, kindness, and deep faith. And the best part? You'll see how small acts of compassion can lead to profound change. I hope it inspires you to look at gratitude differently, to act, and maybe even join me one day on a trip like this.

Are you ready to be uplifted, moved, and reminded of the beauty of human connection? Grab a tissue and tune in—you won’t regret it!

Patty is a wife, a mother of three, a stepmother of two, a grandmother of nine, and a great-grandmother of three. She has been married to Dave, a former professional baseball player/coach for 50 years and because of his career, has lived in over 40 cities, ranging from California to New York. Anecdotes from those years are included in her book about rejection. Her three sons followed in their father's footsteps, and all were drafted into professional baseball. One remains in the game today.

After retiring from teaching high school speech, theater, debate, and forensics, Patty split her time between Kansas and Mexico where she volunteers for local orphanages. She speaks professionally and writes a weekly, religious column for three area newspapers. In her spare time, she plays tennis and Pickleball, reads, hangs out with family and friends, roots for the K.C. Chiefs, and thinks about exercising.

Patty is certified to speak on the evils of sex trafficking, a fight her son Adam entered when he quit professional baseball. Patty recently presented a TEDx Talk on the Rewards of Rejection. She published her first book, "A Little Faith Lift...Finding Joy Beyond Rejection," a humorous, Christian book--with a serious message--which addresses people who spend their lives trying to measure up. She believes that laughter covers a multitude of humiliating experiences. She should know.
