Ep 18: What happens when a quiet nudge from God turns into a full-blown mission to save a family on the other side of the world?

Andrea Befus thought she was just good at maps, spreadsheets, and hospitality. What she didn’t realize was that her unique combination of skills would one day lead her to orchestrate a covert rescue mission for a family in Afghanistan—and redefine her entire sense of purpose.

In this moving and wildly inspiring conversation, Andrea shares her unexpected journey from corporate mapping geek to entrepreneurial Airbnb maven, and the one headline that cracked her open and set her life on a different course. But this episode goes far beyond business—Andrea opens up about marriage, motherhood, faith, and how to know when it’s time to pivot, even if everything seems “fine.”

Whether you're a seeker, a mother, a builder, or someone in-between, this conversation will shake loose something in you. It's about divine discomfort, staying in motion, and the quiet courage to answer a call that doesn’t make logical sense—but makes a spiritual one.

🎧 Listen in for:

🔥 Why feeling “comfortable” might actually be your sign to move

🔥 Andrea’s wild story of helping a family escape the Taliban—with nothing but her laptop

🔥 The tension between ambition and motherhood—and how she reconciles both

🔥 What to do when God feels silent (and why it might be you, not Him)

🔥 The surprising way she uses ChatGPT for spiritual mindset breakthroughs

💡 This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought, “There’s got to be more than this,” and is ready to trade comfort for calling. You will leave this episode more grounded in who you are and more clear on what you’re here to do.
