Drawing from the experiences of hundreds of returned missionaries, she explores the four challenges that come up most often: navigating companionships, feeling like you’re not good enough, dealing with emotional and physical exhaustion, and learning how to connect with people.Along the way, Lizzy shares personal stories from her mission, practical preparation ideas, and reflections on the deeper purpose of missionary work.She also opens up about one of her biggest realizations looking back on her mission: how much joy God intended for that season of discipleship. From small miracles to simple moments of laughter and connection, Lizzy encourages future missionaries to notice the joy that exists alongside the challenges of serving the Lord.References:Luke 2:52Philippians 4:6Missionary Preparation Guide - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qtvcQ3aAZuZyMNL8LE8PADSbwKP7VoHW/viewJeffrey R.

Through scripture stories, personal reflection, and practical encouragement, she explores why God qualifies those He calls, how Jesus Christ modeled the pattern for spiritual growth, and how missionaries can learn to become instruments in God’s hands.If you’re preparing for a mission, considering serving, or simply trying to grow closer to God, this episode offers perspective, reassurance, and a reminder that discipleship is a lifelong journey—not just an 18-month assignment.My email - lizzy@lizzyjensen.comReferences:Missionary Preparation Guide -https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qtvcQ3aAZuZyMNL8LE8PADSbwKP7VoHW/viewDoctrine & Covenants 4: 5Luke 2: 522 Timothee 2: 20-21Isaiah 52:11~About The Lizzy Jensen Show:The Lizzy Jensen show has a simple mission to empower you with the confidence and courage to live your most beautiful and abundant life.

66. How to Know If You Should Serve a Mission | Episode 66

And how do you know what God wants you to do with your life?In this episode, I share my personal story of wrestling through the decision to serve, the spiritual principles that helped me receive personal revelation, and what I believe is the more important question everyone must answer first: To whom or to what will you give your life?We talk about trusting God’s timing, overcoming fear and outside pressure, starting down a path even when you don’t have perfect clarity, and learning how to hear the still small voice. Whether you’re considering serving a mission, supporting someone who is, or navigating a completely different life decision, these principles apply far beyond 18 months of service.Ultimately, this episode isn’t just about whether to go. It’s about building a relationship with God strong enough to guide every decision you’ll ever face, and trusting that when you turn your life over to Him, He will lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.Check out my instagram https://www.instagram.com/lizzy.jensen/?hl=eShow Notes: 🔗 Missionary Preparation Guide -https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qtvcQ3aAZuZyMNL8LE8PADSbwKP7VoHW/view🔗 The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again - President Nelsonhttps://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2024/10/57nelson?lang=eng🔗 A Plea to My Sisters - President Nelsonhttps://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2015/10/a-plea-to-my-sisters?lang=eng🔗 Dallin H.

55:40||Season 2, Ep. 22Some seasons feel like nothing is happening.You’re showing up. You’re trying. You’re praying.And still—it feels quiet.The older I get, the more I’m convinced those years aren’t wasted.They’re formative.They’re the foundation.In this conversation with Emily Snyder, we talk about a life that didn’t unfold the way it was supposed to—and somehow became richer because of it.The years of waiting.The unexpected pivots.The moments where no one else could walk the road with her, and it became a sacred space between her and God.Emily has worked alongside some of the most influential leaders of our time—but what moved me most was her trust in the unseen work.The kind God does underground.The kind that makes you steady when everything else shifts.If you’ve ever wondered whether your years of becoming are leading anywhere…If you’re in a season that feels quiet, slow, or misunderstood…This episode is for you.Nothing in God’s timing is wasted.Not the waiting.Not the detours.Not you.🎧 Emily Snyder on The Lizzie Jensen Show — now live.
