Payton Lothman is my guest for episode 76. She is going on an 11 month adventure this year. Here's her bio: "Hello! I am a woman with a heart after God, His people & the radical life of sharing His love story with the world. I was raised in Central California & currently reside in my hometown, Portland, Oregon. Though I miss the beach & warm weather, the captivating beauty of the Oregon Coast & easy accessible trails & waterfalls have stolen my heart. You can find me eating fruit, drinking an iced honey latte or at the gym most of the time! I love love love laughing with friends, hanging out with my middle school youth kids & being around youth in general. Living in a single parent household for most of my life & growing up with lots of siblings from all different parents has taught me the value & importance of family as well as adopting others into our families. I was born into a Christian church-going family that started to drift from God very quickly & it wasn’t until I was 12 years old, at a church summer camp, that I chose to follow Jesus for the rest of my life! This led me to be baptized at 17 & start chasing hard after God following my high school graduation. Aside from serving with middle schoolers in the youth group setting as well as YoungLife, missions has been a catalyst in my faith journey. My life has been full of saying “yes” when I want to say “no”, learning how to adapt & find comfort in Jesus in places that are extremely uncomfortable & breaking out of the shell of the fear of man & stepping into courage, confidence & boldness in the Lord alone. I am scared, excited, impatient, anticipating, nervous, expectant, doubtful & grateful for the opportunity set before me to be the hands & feet of Jesus in such a broken world. “For this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’” Acts‬ ‭13‬:‭47‬ Thank you for your partnership in prayer over this crazy journey!"

My special guest for this episode is my daughter Grace! We had a lot of fun preparing to do this episode. I'm trying to convince her to do more. (We talked about doing a separate podcast about learning psychology and ministry. ) Grace grew up in Portland. She is getting ready to go to college in Seattle in two weeks so it is really meaningful to spend time with her. Of course, I think she is amazing and I am proud of her. I love how kind she is, she's a loyal friend. Of my kids she probably most shares my sense of humor, and interest in Marvel movies and is the most verbal processor. She likes to play the violin, read, K-POP music, and sing in church. We've spent a lot of time at the library, movies, and coffee shops together when she was growing up.
