In part two of our conversation with missionary Daniel Willoughby, we explore what preparation really looks like when following God’s call. Daniel shares how the fall of the Berlin Wall changed the trajectory of his ministry, the challenges of learning a new language, and why God sometimes delays opportunities until we’re ready for them.

Through stories of faith, fear, and perseverance, Daniel reminds us that sharpening the axe—the quiet seasons of study, language learning, and support-raising—is never wasted. It’s what equips us for longevity in ministry.

Hosts Jon Beazley and Clark Berryman reflect on the tension between preparation and action, how churches can better train future leaders, and the importance of being faithful wherever you are.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your season of waiting has purpose, this episode will give you clarity and encouragement to stay the course.
