Ever found yourself thinking, “Missions suck”? You’re not alone. When the challenges pile up, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and tired. But those feelings don’t have to define your journey—or your missionary’s.

Episode Overview: In today’s episode, we explore the topic of feeling jaded about missions. Whether it’s unmet expectations, hearing about your missionary’s struggles, or the exhaustion, these emotions are more common than you might think. I share my own story of struggling with these feelings and offer practical steps to help you reconnect with your purpose, support your missionary with renewed energy, and find joy in the journey again.

What You’ll Learn:

• The root causes of feeling jaded about missions and how to address them.
• Practical ways to reignite your passion for missionary work.
• Tips for managing emotional and physical exhaustion as a missionary mom.
• How to create a supportive network and take care of your own well-being.
• Strategies for shifting your mindset and finding a renewed sense of purpose.

Why It Matters: Feeling jaded is a natural part of the missionary mom journey, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the story. By understanding and addressing these feelings, you can continue to support your missionary with love, enthusiasm, and resilience.
