I loved sitting down with my friend, who has lived cross-culturally for nearly 20 years. We dive into life lessons on hospitality, creating belonging, and learning not to take offense in new cultures.

This month, I sat down with a friend living in China to reflect on her experiences navigating friendships, embracing adventure, and discovering rhythms of rest in a new culture.

Welcome to Think Global: Life Overseas! This season, we’re taking a new approach—sharing honest, funny, and meaningful conversations with friends around the world about life, friendship, and everyday experiences of living cross-culturally.

What’s it like to raise a family in a different culture? Tune in for a conversation with a friend who shares the joys, challenges, and unexpected gifts of raising children overseas.

At Think Global, we often say, “The world is our home.” Yet in many ways, we’re all nomads journeying through a world that is ultimately temporary. In this episode, we explore what it means to live well with a nomadic mindset, finding purpose, connection, and joy along the way.

In this episode, we invite you to take a fresh look at how you view and use your free time—whether it’s a weekend, summer break, or even retirement. What if your free time could be more than just a break? What if it could be a way to serve others and invest in something that lasts?

Traveling and living overseas requires a high tolerance for uncertainty. In this episode, we explore how uncertainty is a constant part of life—and how we can learn not just to tolerate ambiguity, but to thrive in the midst of it.

Why is it important to step outside your comfort zone and embrace new cultures? Join us as we explore how meaningful connections and cultural experiences can ruin you for the ordinary—in the best possible way.
