Abbey Merker interviews John and Ruth, who served overseas for 13 years, about recognizing and responding to God's calling. They trace how individual burdens developed from childhood through short-term trips, discussing the long waiting period between sensing a call and actually moving—including wrestling with timing, seeking counsel, and watching other couples discern different paths. They address common mistakes like impatience, autonomy, and lack of submission, emphasizing that calling requires internal motivation paired with willingness to receive input, resilience through failure, and daily time with God to cultivate the ability to hear his voice. Speaker: Abbey Merker, John & Ruth
