This episode originally aired on February 28, 2024 and marked the very beginning of the Go When God Calls podcast.

I’m resharing it now because the message is still the same — God calls ordinary people, and our yes matters more than our confidence or clarity. Since this episode first aired, God has continued to grow Beacon of Hope Africa, the Go Missionary Network, and the lives connected to this journey.

Below, you’ll find updated links and resources that reflect what God is doing now, while the heart of this episode remains unchanged.

🎙️ GO WHEN GOD CALLS — EPISODE 1

My Story of Saying Yes to God

Welcome to the very first episode of the Go When God Calls podcast.

In this episode, I share my personal testimony and how God directed my steps toward missions — even though I was initially reluctant. Despite my hesitation, I eventually said “yes” to God’s call and committed my life to serving on the mission field.

This episode is the beginning of a journey shaped by obedience, faith, and learning to trust God one step at a time.

✍️ By Angie Wheeler Sibia Missionary in Mozambique | Host of Go When God Calls

Have you ever tried to trust God but found yourself still holding on “just in case”?

In this episode of Go When God Calls, I share a message that’s close to my heart — learning to lean all the way in when life feels uncertain.

Even after 25 years serving as a missionary in Mozambique, I’m still discovering new layers of what it means to trust God completely. Through stories from Beacon of Hope Africa, a conversation I had with my mom, and lessons I’ve been teaching our teenage boys, I’m reminded that trust isn’t about the how — it’s about the Who.

📖 SCRIPTURE HIGHLIGHTS

Proverbs 3:5–6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.”

Jeremiah 17:7–8 “Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water…”

Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

Matthew 14:29–31 (Peter walks on water but begins to sink when he looks at the waves.)

🎧 TAKEAWAY

Even when I can’t see how things will work out, I know Jesus is working — even while I sleep.

When I speak His Word out loud, it changes the atmosphere around me and the peace inside me.

Today, I’m choosing to sit all the way down in trust — not halfway, not holding myself up “just in case,” but resting completely in Him.
