Resilient and Called is a podcast for women who want to live with purpose in the middle of real-life chaos. Hosted by Eleanor Haack-Finney—pastoral counselor, military missionary, author, and founder of Defenders of Resilience—this show equips everyday women to step boldly into their God-given calling right where they already are.
Through biblical teaching, vulnerable storytelling, and practical guidance, each episode helps you recognize your mission field in the ordinary places: your home, workplace, friendships, neighborhood, and online influence.
Because you don’t need a title, a stage, or a perfectly put-together life to make an impact. You just need a willing heart.
Whether you’re navigating motherhood, marriage, military life, ministry burnout, spiritual loneliness, or a season of transition—this podcast reminds you that God calls you in the middle of your mess, not after it.
You are resilient.
You are called.
And your everyday life is already a mission field.
