In this episode, we explore the challenges of cultural shock and differences your missionary might face, whether serving in a foreign country or a different part of the U.S. As moms, our role isn’t to shield them from the unfamiliar but to be a safe, nonjudgmental space as they navigate these experiences.
Learn what happens in the brain when encountering something new, how curiosity can replace judgment, and why discomfort is a natural part of growth. You’ll also discover practical tips for responding empathetically and helping your missionary (and yourself) embrace cultural differences with an open heart.
Highlights:
Takeaways:
Cultural differences aren’t about right or wrong—they’re just different. By modeling curiosity and validation, you can help your missionary feel supported as they adapt and grow.
