What does it mean to live as someone who has been sent by God? Whether across the street or across the world, every follower of Jesus is called to make Christ known.

In this episode of The Good Portion, we sit down with Therese, Mary Beth, and Aubrey, who have served in very different ministry contexts—through local evangelism and overseas mission work. Together, we explore what it looks like to communicate the unchanging gospel across different cultures and worldviews, build genuine relationships with those who believe differently, and remain faithful when ministry is difficult or the fruit is slow to come.

From the challenges and joys of cross-cultural ministry to the everyday opportunities right in front of us, this conversation reminds us that living on mission isn't reserved for those who move overseas. Wherever God has placed us, we are called to love others, share the hope of Christ, and live as people who have been sent.

“As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” — John 20:21

Our culture tells women that youth is beautiful, independence is strength, and aging is something to resist. But Scripture offers us a better story.

In this episode, Lindsey is joined by Susanne, Brooke, and Beverly—three women in different seasons of life—to discuss what it means to grow older with faith, purpose, and hope. Together, they consider how anti-aging messages begin shaping women at increasingly young ages, why we are tempted to attach our value to beauty and ability, and what the Bible teaches about dignity, wisdom, dependence, and continuing to bear fruit in every season.

The conversation also touches on the realities of physical decline and caregiving without allowing them to define the aging process. Whether you are in your twenties, fifties, or later years, aging is not merely a future issue. We are all being shaped now for the women we are becoming.

Because of Christ, we do not have to deny the losses that accompany aging—yet we do not have to fear them as though they have the final word.
