Overcoming Fear, Anxiety, and Trauma with Karen Bettison | Episode 182

Adversity is a part of life. We can sometimes think that having a relationship with Jesus makes us exempt from hardships that can cause fear, anxiety, and even trauma. While that isn’t the case, it is true that our relationship with Jesus can change how we handle and respond to the adversity that comes into our lives.

Joining me for this conversation is Karen Bettison. Karen served as a Bible translator, a literary specialist, and a medical missionary with Pioneer Bible Translators for 25 years. She currently works as a nurse and has been an educator, author, speaker, and Bible study leader in the US and Africa. Karen is the author of the new book I Will Fear No Evil: A Missionary’s Faith Journey Through Fear, Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma. Karen and her husband, Jim, have raised four children and reside in rural Missouri.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The unique support missionaries need
• Reminders that hardship is a reality for everyone
• How God can use what you’ve been through
• And so much more!

Listen in as Karen shares more about her experiences as a missionary and how she has overcome adversity in her own life.
