Hey friends. You're listening to the Go and Tell Gals podcast, and I'm your host, Jess Connelly.

On each episode, I'll have a guest who will give us a peek into what it looks like

for her to run on mission in her everyday life. Our prayer is that it leaves you encouraged and

spurred on to go and tell the good news right where you're at.

Friends, what a gift we have today.

I am so thankful you are listening to this episode of the Go and Tell Gals podcast because we are talking to, you know, my favorite gal on earth ever, my mom.

So here's the thing. I want to do a quick, like only daughter can give you the intro, but I know you guys want to hear just straight from her. So I'll make it as brief as possible.

My mom, Deb Hopper, is a woman on mission. Simply put, I have seen her running on mission really in every

season of my life and in so many different seasons of her life. I've seen her minister in the

workplace. I've seen her minister in our home. I've seen her minister in the church. I've

seen her minister in other countries. I have seen her minister in so many different ways

and really just take God at his word for what he's given her and what he's asked of her.

And I see her do that on a daily basis. And so there's just no one that I would rather have you guys

hear from as it pertains to running on mission.

She's in a little bit of a different season now, and I'm really excited for her to share

about what God's doing in that and what that looks like, and I know that a lot of you will relate

to it. But welcome, my favorite woman, my mom, Debbie Hopper.

Wow. Thanks, Jess. that's pretty hard to follow but I'll try to fill in the gaps of what you've most kindly left out yes just tell us tell us what you know I know

everything there is to know I I wish I really wish I

did know everything there was to know but what do they need to know about you running on

mission what it what has it been like what does that mean to you okay well I will do a

little recap because I'm 62 and there's been a lot of years packed in there of a lot of different seasons of running on mission.
