You want to serve cross-culturally—but you also want to keep building your skills, experience, and resume. Is overseas work a career pause, or can it actually push your career forward? In this episode, we dive into the ‘Ministry is only a Bible study’ myth and look at real roles—from communications to public health to entrepreneurship. If you’ve wondered what you’d actually do overseas (and how it translates back home), this episode is for you.

EP 3: Torn Between Fundraising and Financial Security
You’ve considered cross-cultural work, but the idea of fundraising and relying on others for your income makes you hesitate.
In this episode, we name the challenges: awkward asks, a “tapped” network, actually having enough to live well, and the tension between calling and financial security. We then get practical, talking about how support-raising works, when it’s treated as a partnership, how to map your network, how to get referrals to expand your network, and how to set a realistic, healthy budget that includes savings, retirement, debt repayment, and actual rest.
This is a down-to-earth look at the pros, cons, and first steps to help you decide if cross-cultural work is for you.
