You Don't Have to Choose Between Motherhood and Ministry - with Rachael Groll

Ever feel torn between wanting to serve God and being completely buried in mom responsibilities? In this conversation with Rachael Groll (author of "Knowing God's Voice", podcaster, and former global orphan care director), we're talking about how to have a vibrant faith life and raise kids who love Jesus, without abandoning your actual family to do it. Rachael shares her journey from running a neighborhood ministry to directing spiritual care across 5 countries in the Caribbean and Africa all while raising three daughters. And here's the thing: she didn't choose between motherhood and ministry. She brought her kids along. We talk about taking kids on mission trips at 14, the powerful story of Jochebed releasing Moses (and what that meant when Rachel released her daughter for 9 months of missions), and the asphalt miracle that taught Rachel God cares about even the smallest desperate prayers. This episode is for you if: • You want to do more for God but feel trapped by mom responsibilities. • You're waiting for the "perfect call" while needs pile up around you. • You want your kids to have real faith experiences, not just church attendance. • You feel like you missed the boat on the miraculous faith life. • You're paralyzed between "I should do something" and "I don't know what." • You think ministry is for other people, not busy moms. Rachel gives practical guidance on integrating ministry into family life (food pantry with kids in tow, letter-writing campaigns, local needs), recognizing when God is calling you to a specific need, and raising kids who aren't afraid to trust God in scary situations. Plus, we tackle the truth that the safest place to be is in the center of God's will, even when it looks terrifying from the outside. If you've ever thought "I want to serve God but I have kids," this conversation is for you. 📖 RESOURCE MENTIONED: Rachel's book: "Knowing God's Voice: What Female Prophets of the Bible Teach Us About Recognizing, Trusting, and Obeying God" (affiliate) 🔗 CONNECT WITH RACHEL: Website: Support the show
