Fear can be loud, especially when you’re a teenager getting on a plane, heading into a new culture, and realizing you can’t control the details. Brittany sits down with her daughter Libby to tell the full story of two Mexico mission trips and the unexpected ways God used discomfort, schedule changes, language barriers, and even a sweaty bus ride to build courage and faith.

We share what serving in Cancun and the Yucatán region actually looked like beyond the tourist image: jungle heat, big bugs, rainstorms, and hard work alongside local leaders building long-term hope through projects like an orphanage, school, and medical care. Libby opens up about confronting her own materialism, learning that “blessing” isn’t about what you own, and discovering the kind of joy that comes from acts of service and worship in the middle of exhaustion.

The most powerful moment comes when Libby connects her adoption story to the gospel message of the Heavenly Father. Speaking to students who know the pain of absent dads, she explains how identity and peace are found in God’s love, not in a missing or broken earthly relationship. We also talk candidly as a mom and daughter about church hurt, prayer, and why every kid has to find God for themselves.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a youth mission trip can really change a heart, press play. Subscribe, share this with a parent or teen who needs hope, and leave a review with the line that stayed with you most.
