Called and a Parent — Can You Be Both?

More and more young parents are quietly stepping back from ministry before they’ve even given it a real shot — convinced that kids and calling can’t coexist. In this Chin Up Show Highlight, the conversation gets personal as Rachel opens up about the fear that held her back from having children for years, the mindset she carried into parenthood, and how her daughter went on her first mission trip at just two and a half months old. This isn’t a highlight about having it all figured out — it’s about deciding your true north before the hard seasons arrive.

Because here’s the truth: parenthood will be difficult, and ministry will demand more than you expected. But as Rachel shares, the families who keep going aren’t the ones who had it easy — they’re the ones who made up their minds early. God doesn’t always give you a map, but he gives you a compass. And when your true north is serving God no matter what stage of life you’re in, you find a way to make it work. If you’re a young parent wrestling with this tension, this one is exactly what you need to hear.
