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.)

💬 QUOTE

“Trust isn’t about the how — it’s about the Who.”

────────────── ✨ ✨ ✨ ──────────────

🎧 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.

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

Have you ever felt like you’re walking in the dark, unsure of what comes next? Last week on Go When God Calls we talked about the foundation of our faith — God’s love, salvation through Jesus, and becoming a new creation in Him.

In this episode, I’m continuing that conversation with four powerful verses that show us how to walk out our faith step by step. Whether you’re a brand new Christian or you’ve been following Jesus for years, these promises will strengthen and encourage you.

📖 Scripture Highlights

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

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

Philippians 4:13 (KJV) “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

💬 Quote: “Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.” — Oswald Chambers

🎧 Takeaway: You don’t have to have it all figured out to follow Jesus. His Word lights your next step, His Spirit fills you with courage, and His strength carries you through.

Have you ever felt unsure of what to do after saying yes to Jesus? Maybe you’ve prayed, felt His touch on your heart, or started going back to church — but then wondered, what comes next?

In this episode of Go When God Calls, I share encouragement for both new believers and seasoned Christians. From my own walk with God, I talk about how peace can be an umpire in our lives, how salvation is a free gift, and how God’s promises give us a foundation to stand on every day.

Takeaway: You don’t have to have it all figured out. Salvation is a gift — and the next step is simply to trust Him, follow His peace, and build your life on His Word.

📖 Scripture Highlight:

• John 3:16 – God’s love given freely
• Romans 10:9 – Confess and believe
• Corinthians 5:17 – A new creation in Christ
• Colossians 3:15 – Peace as an umpire
• Philippians 4:6–7 – Peace that guards our hearts

💬 Quote: “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”

Do you ever feel stuck because of fear — fear of failure, fear of what others might think, or fear of stepping into the unknown?

In this episode of Go When God Calls, Angie Wheeler Sibia shares powerful encouragement and real-life stories from her journey as a missionary in Mozambique. From an encounter at Sam’s Club in Texas to hosting Hannah on her very first trip to Africa, Angie reveals what happens when we stop waiting to feel ready and simply step out in faith.

Takeaway: Courage isn’t the absence of fear — it’s moving forward in spite of fear, trusting that God is with you. If God is stirring your heart to start a podcast, write a book, launch a business, go on a mission trip, or simply share Jesus with your neighbor — don’t wait until you feel perfect. Just start. On this faith-based Christian encouragement podcast, I just want to remind you — God will be with you wherever you go.

📖 Scripture Highlight: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9

💬 Quote: “Courage is not the absence of fear — it’s moving forward in spite of fear.” — Angie Wheeler Sibia

In this episode, I share something God showed me while I was teaching the boys at Beacon of Hope Africa. We were talking about obedience, but it turned into something bigger.

I explained how integrity is like the center of a wagon wheel. The other traits—like kindness, trust, forgiveness, and perseverance—are the spokes. The wheel can’t roll without strong spokes, and life doesn’t move forward without strong character.

We also studied the word Shema from the Bible. It means to listen and obey as one action—not just hearing something, but responding to it. I even tell a wild story I heard when I was a teenager about a woman who stood on her head in a coat closet... because God told her to. And it saved a life.

What You'll Hear Me Talk About

• Why integrity is more than a good trait—it’s the center of everything
• What obedience really means in Scripture
• A powerful story about strange obedience that made an eternal difference
• How we’re teaching strong character through everyday choices
• How to say yes to God even when it doesn’t feel easy

Bible Verses in This Episode

• Ephesians 6:1–3 — “Obey your parents… so it may go well with you.”
• 1 Samuel 15:22 — “To obey is better than sacrifice.”
• Joshua 1:9 — “Be strong and courageous… the Lord your God is with you.”
• The Hebrew word Shema — to hear and obey

A Quote I Love

“Obedience is the key that opens the door to blessing.”

If this episode encouraged you, I’d love it if you shared it with a friend, left a review, or connected with me online. Remember: God’s not asking for perfection. He’s asking for your yes.

Let’s keep walking that out—one obedient step at a time.

Go when God calls.

Show Notes: In today’s episode, I’m sharing how God can use even the simple things we love — our hobbies and passions — for His Kingdom. Whether it’s whittling wood, crocheting, or baking, God can take what’s already in our hands and use it to build something bigger for His glory. We’ll dive into the idea of Kingdom infiltration — how God wants to show up in every part of our lives, not just in the “big” things, but in our workplaces, friendships, hobbies, and even our downtime. I’ll also share personal stories from my life in Mozambique — from whittling soap with the boys at Beacon of Hope to how my sister turned her love for baking into a ministry — showing that your mission field might be right where you are, with what you already have.

We’ll talk about using what’s in your hand like Moses’ staff, building online communities through spaces like the Global Unleashed Network and the Kingdom Builders Accelerator, and how simple hobbies can be tools for discipleship. I’ll also introduce you to Video Game Ministries, an innovative way to reach teens where they already spend their time — in gaming rooms and chat spaces. Today’s encouragement is simple: your passion is not too small, your hobby is not a waste, and your mission field might just start with what’s right in front of you.
