What if the long wait wasn’t a setback, but training for the moment you’re finally ready? We sit down with Carrie Damiano—mentor, judge, and creator of Ms. World Traveler—to unpack how twenty-two years of “not yet” became a clear, courageous yes. Alongside Terry’s path from church mediator to VFW chaplain and prison Bible study teacher, we explore the way God’s timing, not our timelines, reshapes careers, callings, and everyday courage.

Carrie breaks down why travel is continuing education: getting on planes to learn humility, history, and gratitude, then slowing down to live like a local, find a church, and actually meet people. She also opens up about singleness as a lifelong calling filled with joy, purpose, and freedom to serve—offering hope to anyone who feels “behind” on a life they imagined. From pageant stages to mentoring rooms, she shows how poise, preparation, and presence are skills anyone can learn, at any age.

Terry brings hard-won lessons from decades in ministry, from healing and reconciliation to reading a room without manipulating it. We talk about foundations, forgiveness that multiplies patience, and the simple courage to take one lighted step at a time. You’ll hear a vivid picture of prayer as heart-to-heart with God, stories of miracles and missteps, and a spoken blessing that frames calling as delight, not drudgery.

If you’re weighing a new venture, considering a late-career pivot, or wondering whether it’s safe to try again, this conversation offers practical wisdom: seek God, plan like a builder, watch for stop signs and parted seas, and move. Mentorship, faith, and travel intersect here to show that delay can be preparation in disguise.

Giants don’t shrink when you stare at them, but faith reframes what you’re looking at. We open with Joshua and Caleb’s bold declaration—“we are well able”—and press into why two spies trusted God while a nation stalled at the edge of promise. From there we connect the dots to our own hesitation: decades of miracles behind us, opportunities in front of us, and a heart that wavers between memory and fear.

We dig into the engine room of courage. Romans 10 shows how faith starts with heart-belief and open confession, not endless striving for a better feeling. You don’t earn righteousness by perfect performance; you receive it through Jesus. That shift—from trying to deserve God to trusting what He already gave—ends the burnout cycle and restores clarity. We explore why begging for “more faith” misses the point when God has already dealt the measure of faith, and how hearing and agreeing with the Word activates what’s been placed in you.

Then we walk through 2 Peter 1 and its stunning claim: His divine power has given us everything for life and godliness, and His promises make us partakers of the divine nature. This is not permission to coast; it’s power to grow. We show how to add virtue, knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, brotherly affection, and love without slipping back into legalism. If shame over old sins keeps clouding the present, we call it out and replace it with the truth of full forgiveness. The result is a practical path from fear to fruitfulness, from surviving to stewarding the victory Christ already secured.
