Wherever you are on your journey to know and love God,

Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary wants to come alongside you to empower you to further serve in your local context.

Southeastern offers a variety of flexible degree options to equip you to serve in your local church, on the mission field, or in the relationships you engage with on a daily basis.

Southeastern believes God has commanded each of us to go and make disciples by teaching his word and sharing the truth about Jesus Christ.

That's why they offer a diverse selection of certificate programs, master's degrees, and advanced degrees to help equip women to serve in the church and fulfill the Great Commission.

Southeastern would be privileged to play a part in your growth in God's word and your training to fulfill the Great Commission in all of life.

Welcome to the Journey Women Podcast. I'm your host, Hunter Beelis. Wherever you are on your journey to glorify God, we are so glad you're here.

On the Journey Women Podcast, we'll come alongside you in the seasons and challenges of life to move you to know and love God in his word, to find your hope in the gospel, and to invest deeply in your local church as you go out on mission for the glory of God.

Today we're talking to my friend, Missy Branch, about what to do when you feel like a failure in the work that the Lord has set before you and what true success actually looks like. It might not look exactly how you expected.

If you don't know her, Missy serves as Vice President of Community Engagement for Life Collective Incorporated. She is a graduate of Southeastern Seminary with a Master's in Ethics, Theology, and Culture.

And she's married to Deuce, together they have four children, and Missy is the co-host of the Women in Work Podcast, which I know you'll enjoy.

I cannot wait to share this conversation with you, but before we go there, did you know that Journey Women is a nonprofit organization?

That's right, we rely on you to continue producing content to reach women all over the world to move them to know and love God.

If you'd like to help us in this endeavor, you can do so at journeywomenpodcast.com slash give. Thank you for your support.

Missy Branch, welcome to the Journey Women Podcast!

Yay! Hunter's like excited to be a part of this video.

You are such a fun one to talk to, so I'm really glad the Journey Women listeners get to hear from you, Missy.

You have done so much, I'm always just so impressed every time I take a look at your bio, but I want to share with them what you do.

You're currently the Vice President of Community Engagement for Life Collective, which is new.

This is something new since we last chatted, so can you tell us a little bit about that, and then I'll finish your bio.

It's so long we need to take a break here.
