Summary

Our guest today on the podcast is Debbie Greisen. After being raised on the mission field of Hong Kong, she began her journey teaching grade school in Australia, the Marshall Islands, Africa, and the Middle East. Debbie adopted both of her daughters from China while teaching overseas. Upon moving to the United States, Debbie continued teaching in Washington state until her recent retirement. But retirement hasn't slowed Debbie down, and she shares with us about the challenges of engaging the culture and the encouragement the Colson Fellows program has been in that journey.

0:00.0	Hey listeners, Sarah and I wanted to invite you personally to Wilberforce Weekend,
0:05.4	hosted by the Colson Center, May 13th through the 15th in Orlando, Florida.
0:10.9	Sarah and I are going to be there, and we're going to record a live podcast with Nancy Guthrie.
0:16.3	We would love to meet you all, and we're going to do a listener meetup and a book exchange.
0:22.1	So there's a lot strong women has going on that weekend, but there's even more going on

0:29.4	So Sarah, tell us about the other stuff that's happening.
0:32.3	Yeah, there is a lot happening.
0:33.7	So the overall theme of the whole weekend is life redeemed. And so the question that we'll
0:38.9	be wrestling with in the whole conference is what can it look like to live a life redeemed in a
0:44.9	broken world? So we will hear from dozens of speakers. You'll get to hear stories that spark
0:51.4	your imagination of how could this look in my own life in my own sphere of

1:08.8	in their sphere of influence.
1:11.3	So join us at Wilberforce Weekend, and to get all the information, go to Wilberforce
