Ask About My Faith Podcast

God calls us to “Go.” You can go to a nation across the sea or go to your neighbor down the street. God places no limitations or restrictions. He simply commands that you go.

Our most recent guest on the Ask About My Faith podcast, Lisabeth Rebney, joins us for a lovely conversation about how God has moved in and through her life. 

Lisabeth grew up in a Christian home, attending church with her family her entire life. Even though her faith and belief in God never wavered, it wasn’t until college that her relationship with God became personal. God gripped her heart and instilled a deep love for His word and a longing to display her love for Him. 

God gave her a heart for the nation of Jamaica, which led to multiple ministry trips over the years. When the pandemic hit and travel became impossible, God reminded her that just because she can’t go doesn’t mean she can’t go. She started treating her neighborhood as her mission field.

He woke up forever changed and passionate about God.

Trisha Aumann joins us again to to share beautiful, inspiring stories of how she’s been able to share God’s love in the most natural ways.

You want to hear Part 1 before jumping into Part 2 but we're excited to continue sharing stories from Trisha! Trisha grew up in a family that was deeply rooted in faith. Her mother lived her faith very openly with her kids and didn’t shy away from answering her kid’s many questions about God. At age four, Trisha’s mother walked her through receiving salvation. 

In 2021, Trisha opened Farm and Thread, a clothing and decor boutique. A year later, she opened their first brick-and-mortar location in Minnesota. When they opened their storefront, she and her husband prayed over the building, asking God to use their business to minister to others. They wanted their business to be used by Holy Spirit, but they had yet to learn it would happen so fast or be so simple.
