   Following God’s Call to Guatemala: Breaking Poverty Cycles Through Faith & Christian Education - Guest Episode

   What does missionary life in Guatemala really look like? In this episode of the Broken and Redeemed Podcast, Eric and Jenny sit down with Ella Schinkel, a missionary serving in Guatemala who shares the powerful reality of living out faith through Christian missions, teaching English, and discipleship in a Christian school. Through honest conversation, this episode explores the challenges and joys of serving in Guatemala, from navigating cultural differences and poverty to witnessing how Christian education can transform the lives of students and their families. You’ll hear how small classrooms, mentorship, and daily worship help break cycles of poverty through Christ-centered education, and how students often become the bridge that brings entire families to faith. The discussion also dives into the spiritual realities missionaries encounter—including spiritual warfare, witchcraft, and cultural beliefs like the evil eye—and how faith, prayer, and community sustain those called to serve. Along the way, you’ll hear stories of evangelism in Guatemala, the beauty of discipleship, and what it means to trust God’s calling even when the path is uncertain. Whether you’re curious about missions work in Latin America, passionate about Christian education, or discerning your own calling, this episode offers a meaningful glimpse into how God is working in Guatemala through faithful service and gospel-centered community.

    Table For One: Singleness in the Church

    Welcome back to The Broken and Redeemed Podcast! Singleness in the church can feel like a waiting room—like life hasn’t truly started yet. But is that how it’s meant to be? In this episode, Eric, Jenny, and Jessica dive deep into the realities of singleness, exploring faith struggles, church expectations, and the cultural pressures that shape how we view this season of life. Through personal stories, biblical truth from 1 Corinthians 7, and open-hearted reflection, the trio unpacks how the church sometimes unintentionally idolizes marriage and what it means to truly support and include single believers in the body of Christ. Jessica shares her honest journey of contentment in singleness, the tension between hope and reality, and how spiritual growth often flourishes in unexpected seasons. If there’s one thing we hope you take from today’s conversation, it’s that your worth isn’t tied to whether or not you get married. Your value is secure in Christ—whether your life trajectory looks like what you dreamed of or not. Thanks for joining us! Whether you’re experiencing this firsthand or hoping to better support a loved one, this episode offers empathy, encouragement, and biblical insight for navigating a topic that is often misunderstood but deeply felt. Let’s seek truth, extend grace, stay rooted in Christ, and grow in faith together. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Jessica’s raw reflections on navigating singleness in the church The subtle (and not-so-subtle) pressures single Christians face. How 1 Corinthians 7 challenges common mindsets around marriage and singleness. Practical ways the church can foster community and uplift single believers. Encouragement for those wrestling with contentment, identity, and God’s timing Resources and Links Mentioned in This Episode: Rosaria Butterfield – thoughts on hospitality and community integration rosariabutterfield.com (http://rosariabutterfield.com) Support the Podcast!
