Today on the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Zack sits down with Pastor Bryanna to unpack her powerful testimony—from growing up at Shepherd Church to wrestling with God’s call to missions, and ultimately discovering her place in ministry.

Bryanna shares honestly about:

• Hearing God’s call at a young age
• The struggle of surrendering her own dreams
• How a life-changing Easter moment shifted everything
• Her mission trip to Uganda and encountering God deeply
• Discovering that being a “missionary” isn’t limited to overseas—it’s a lifestyle

This episode is a reminder that every name has a story, and God is faithfully pursuing each one of us—no matter where we are in our journey.

🙌 Whether you're questioning your purpose, wrestling with calling, or simply looking to grow in your faith, this conversation will encourage you.
