We’ve been there—and so has our guest, Matthew Faye Terry. In this powerful episode, you’ll hear a story that will absolutely stir your spirit. From crying out to God after corporate burnout to teaching English in communist China—and even leading underground Bible studies—Matthew’s journey is a testament to what happens when you fully surrender and trust God's plan, even when it doesn’t make sense. This isn’t just about a wild adventure overseas. It’s about waiting well. It's about obedience when the path isn’t clear. And it’s about how your “yes” to God—even in uncertainty—can lead to breakthrough, purpose, and impact beyond what you could imagine. We (Todd & Wendie) loved how real and relatable this conversation is. If you’ve ever felt like you missed your moment or you’re stuck in the waiting, this episode will give you insight, encouragement, and inspiration to keep trusting the One who sees the whole picture. You’ll also hear how Matthew turned his mission in China into a powerful screenplay and upcoming miniseries, English Corner, to reach more hearts with the hope of the Gospel. You don’t want to miss this!
