Episode 245: Missionary calling with Abby Torgeson
Description
What happens when God’s calling feels both clear and complicated—when obedience means stepping into the unknown with open hands?
This week on Advancing the Mission, we sit down with Abby Torgeson, who—along with her husband Jason and their three kids—serves in Costa Rica as the Regional Coordinator for Latin America with Global Strategy. From the outside, it may look like a life of confident purpose. But as Abby shares, the path to saying “yes” wasn’t without wrestling, questions, and the slow work of surrender.
In this candid conversation, Abby opens up about discerning God’s call, navigating seasons of doubt, and learning that faithfulness isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting the One who calls. Her story is a beautiful reminder that God’s mission often begins with our willingness to keep listening, even when the way forward feels uncertain.
You’ll be moved. You’ll be challenged. And you’ll see how God continues to advance His mission through ordinary people who choose to say yes.
