The Torn Between Podcast
You feel called to cross-cultural work, and you are actually considering committing to it. But alongside that calling is a wave of uncertainty: How will I make money? What do I do about my relationship? How is my family going to respond to this? What if I don’t feel ready? What if I never feel ready?
Torn Between is a mini-series created for people who want to move abroad for cross-cultural work but feel stuck in the tension of fear, uncertainty, and desire.
