Takeaways
Daphne Dillard shares her personal journey of growing up in a broken home and experiencing rejection and hurt.
She talks about how she found salvation and how her relationship with God transformed her life.
Daphne discusses her relationship with her husband, Pastor Stacey Dillard, and their journey in ministry together.
The episode highlights the importance of prayer and the power of God's healing and restoration. Infertility can have a significant impact on a person's life and relationships, leading to feelings of isolation and rejection.
Being a pastor's wife and a new mom can be challenging, especially when the husband is frequently away on ministry trips.
Pioneering and pastoring in a new location can be both exciting and daunting, but God can work miracles in those situations.
Missionary work can bring its own set of challenges, including cultural differences and health issues.
It is important to rely on God's strength and seek support from others during difficult times. Being a pastor's wife and missionary requires sacrifice and can be lonely and overwhelming at times.
Prayer is essential in ministry and can bring peace and strength.
