In this episode, I'm joined by two incredible friends and fellow travelers — Emily Rivera and Ben Hagen — for a real conversation about how studying abroad not only expanded our worldview, but also strengthened our faith and purpose.

🇸🇳 Senegal – Spring Break 2025 Emily and I walk through our experience in Senegal with the LSU Global Ambassadors Program — a trip that reminded us of God's heart for community, service, and culture. We dig into the moments that stretched us, humbled us, and revealed how God shows up even when we're far from home.

🇫🇷 France – Summer 2024 Ben and I reflect on our time in France during the Manship Olympics Program. From navigating new environments to covering stories in an international setting, we talk about how God used that season to sharpen our gifts, build our confidence, and teach us the importance of showing up with boldness.

🇨🇷 Costa Rica – Summer 2025 Ben also shares what God taught him during his recent summer in Costa Rica — from leadership and gratitude to embracing the unexpected. His story is a reminder that every place God sends us has purpose.

If you're curious about studying abroad, love travel stories, or want to hear how God moves in everyday experiences, this episode will encourage you, challenge you, and hopefully stir your faith.
