In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with Mabel Ninan from San Jose, California. Mabel vulnerably opens up about her challenging transition as an immigrant mother, moving between India and the U.S. to support her husband's career. Raising her one-year-old son completely alone without the support of family or friends, she found herself hitting rock bottom in the deep isolation of motherhood.
Listen in as Mabel shares how a desperate online search for a "Bible study near me" led her to a transformative nine-month study of the book of Matthew, which completely shifted her perspective and brought profound joy back into her life. She also shares a beautiful revelation for anyone struggling to find where they fit in. If you are desperately longing for a sense of belonging, Mabel's powerful reminder that we are "foreigners and strangers on earth" made with eternity in our hearts will deeply comfort your soul and point you to your true home in Jesus!
