What happens when you entrust your life's path to God? In this episode, I sit down with Diane Brask, founder of Global Seed Planters, as she shares her remarkable journey from growing up on a Wisconsin dairy farm to becoming a beacon of hope in some of the world’s most isolated and challenging places. Diane opens up about the life-changing moment at a Billy Graham conference that led her to surrender her plans to God, igniting a mission-driven life that transcends borders and limitations.
Together, we explore the transformative power of relational evangelism and the profound impact of simply being present. Diane shares how her unexpected role evolved into a twenty-year journey connecting with at-risk, unchurched high school students—building trust through authentic relationships and the relational model of Jesus himself.
Our conversation dives into the heart of global ministry, where Diane recounts eye-opening experiences in India and the deep spiritual need she encountered there. She shares the inspiring story of founding Global Seed Planters, a ministry dedicated to sending missionaries to bring love and hope to some of the world’s most unreached regions—places where the message of Jesus is still waiting to be introduced. Diane’s story is a powerful reminder of the courage it takes to serve the unreached and the lasting influence of unwavering faith, hope, and love.
