Never Off Duty - The Exhausting Reality of Cross-Cultural Ministry!

This episode takes a deep dive into the often-overlooked mental and emotional toll of missionary work. 

Serving on the mission field isn't just about spreading faith and building communities; it also involves constant cultural and linguistic navigation that can lead to severe mental exhaustion. 

We explore how everyday tasks, such as a simple visit to the hardware store, become complex and draining missions. Imagine not knowing the local term for a tool you desperately need, then struggling to describe it in a second language, all while potentially facing inflated prices once vendors realize you're an outsider. 

These scenarios represent just a fraction of the mental labor missionaries endure daily. 

Through stories and expert insights, we shed light on the unseen burdens of missionary work and discuss strategies for managing this relentless cognitive load. 

Join us as we uncover the hidden challenges of the mission field and offer hope, support, and advice to those who face them.
