Would you ask your twelve-year-old to bravely live her faith, in a time of crisis? In part two of our conversation, Heather Cofer shares the story of her twelfth birthday in Mongolia and how—even when she was so afraid—her dad commissioned her to walk by faith. She also tells about the crisis her husband’s family (also missionaries in Mongolia) faced.
Heather’s story is highlighted in my new Bible study, Shaped by God’s Promises: Lessons from Sarah on Fear and Faith. Whether you’re here because you’re reading that book, or you’re a regular listener, I hope you’ll be inspired by this conversation.

The Sarah Series
Welcome to the Sarah series. In these early episodes, I’m talking with four women whose stories were highlighted in my new Bible study, Shaped by God’s Promises: Lessons from Sarah on Fear and Faith. I’ll be weaving thoughts about Sarah’s story, found in Genesis 12-21 into these conversations with these modern day women of faith.
Then in our later episodes, we’ll follow our more typical pattern and I’ll discuss various Bible passages where Sarah’s story is told with an amazing lineup of Bible teachers, including Courtney Doctor, Ann Swindell and Carol Kent.
Whether you’re here because you’re studying through Shaped by God’s Promises, or you’re here as a regular listener, I hope you’ll be inspired by these conversations about fear and faith.
What Are You Waiting on God For?
In my conversation with Heather, we talked about tangible and intangible promises. We also talked about how some of God’s promises are for now, and others are for later. So, how do you know which promises to cling to—especially when you’re in a long stretch of waiting on God?
My free “Pray God’s Promises” prayer guide, will help you pray the promises found directly in the Bible. It’s designed to help you sort out which promises are for here and now, and which ones are for later. Praying God’s promises found in your Bible is one of the ways God shapes you by his promises.

Come Back Next Time…
I am sorry to leave you at that cliffhanger! You’re going to want to come back next time and hear the rest of that story from Heather, and more in our episode, “Faith Tested: One Missionary Kid’s story of Commissioning in Crisis.” Did you love hearing from Heather? You can find her story and more in my new Bible study, Shaped by God’s Promises releasing this spring with Our Daily Bread. It’s a six week Bible study that will inspire you to live like it’s true that God is faithful.
