Summary
Today’s guest, Ann Wyse, knows what it’s like to wrestle with the significance of her work in completely different seasons of life and to come out on the other side recognizing that nothing God calls us to is insignificant. Listen in to hear Ann’s story of being a solo missionary in Tibet, transitioning from the adventure of missions to the adventure of raising children stateside, and learning to trust that God places us where we are for a purpose. You’ll be reminded that your calling—whether it’s outwardly spectacular or seemingly mundane—matters to God.

Today, Christians face mounting pressure to conform to harmful secular ideologies about race, sexuality, human identity, and more. In response, the Colson Center seeks to equip believers with a Christian worldview on all these things, so they can know, live, and speak the truth in love. As we reach the end of the year, would you consider donating to support the ongoing work of the Colson Center? You can make your donation at colsoncenter.org/swyearend.
How do we remain faithful to Christ when our faith clashes with this cultural moment, or when we have to choose between conscience and career? We need courage, and courage must be cultivated. Join us at CCNC 2024 to find answers and tools to cultivate courageous faith for the specific challenges you face in this cultural moment. Speakers include Dr. Al Mohler, Father Calvin Robinson, Riley Gaines, Katy Faust, and more. For full speaker lineup and registration, go to colsonconference.org.
The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment. Through commentaries, podcasts, videos, and more, we help Christians better understand what’s happening in the world, and champion what is true and good wherever God has called them.
