Summary

Helping Without Hurting- Post-Pandemic Mission Trips   Sometimes, despite our best intentions, our attempts at helping during a mission trip can actually be hurtful in the long run. Today I share some practical ideas and tips to ensure your return to short-term mission trips has the most impact.    Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.   Learn -> https://shehears.org Connect -> rachael@shehears.org Community-> https://www.facebook.com/groups/743928930315696/ Instagram-> https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/     Need to chat one on one?

Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey friends, Rachel here. I am breaking the rules a little bit today and we are going to interject into our

0:08.6

spiritual discipline series, a special bonus week on the return to the mission field or short-term

0:15.2

missions. And the reason why I'm doing that is because I just got back from the Dominican Republic.

0:19.6

It's fresh on my heart and my mind.

0:21.4

And there is a possibility that some of you might be going on missions, trips, the rest of the

summer. And so I want you to have some insight and some resources now while it will be valuable

for you. So I pray that this series blesses you. And then when we're finished, we'll pick back up

with their spiritual discipline series.

This week, I had the incredible privilege of finally traveling in country to the Dominican Republic

to work with some of my counterparts in one of the countries that we work in.

0:51.0

And, you know, because of the pandemic, we've not been able to travel for

0:55.0

the better part of three years. And so after working through Zoom and WhatsApp and through

1:02.0

email and all those things, it was amazing to be able to travel and see the kids that I pray for

1:07.7

daily and to work side by side along with my counterparts with our

1:11.5

team and country. There was a couple things that I took away from this week that I wanted to share

1:18.6

with you. And if you've not gone on a mission trip before, I think this week will be helpful for you.

1:25.5

And even if you have, if you've experienced short-term missions or even long-term missions,

1:30.4

I hope that some of the things that I shared this week will be a blessing to you.
