What happens when the life you’ve worked for—your city, your career, even your identity—dies overnight? In this tender, hope-filled conversation, Ginny sits down with Bible teacher and missionary kid <a href="https://chasingsacred.com/pages/meet-the-team">Mikella Van Dyke</a>, whose childhood stretched from refugee camps on the Thai–Myanmar border to hiking the Himalayas and dancing for the princess of Thailand. As a “third culture kid” who never quite fit in either Thailand or the U.S., <a href="https://chasingsacred.com/">Mikella</a> shares how a lonely ninth-grade year, culture shock, and years of bouncing between countries left her with a deep identity crisis that eventually drove her into the pages of Scripture. Later, an unplanned pregnancy ended her dream of dancing professionally in New York City—and yet that loss became the doorway to <a href="https://chasingsacred.com/">Chasing Sacred</a>, the ministry and new calling she never could have imagined. Learn more about Mikella’s story and her new book <a href="https://amzn.to/4rX2Erm">Chasing Sacred.</a> 
Together, Ginny and Mikella explore a simple, powerful way to read the Bible through the inductive Bible study method—asking good questions, honoring context, and letting God’s Word move from head knowledge to heart change in the middle of real life with kids, frogs, dirt bikes, and dishes. They talk about daily “manna” moments in Scripture, how to spot teaching that’s pulled out of context online, why courage sometimes means defying cultural norms, and how family missions trips to <a href="https://www.littlelambsintl.org?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Little Lambs International</a> in Guatemala have given their children a bigger vision for God’s world. If you’ve ever felt like your dreams died with motherhood—or you’re longing for an anchor in the chaos—this episode will invite you to see your own story, and your hours outside, as sacred ground.
