Peggy Nunley, a redeemed chick who loves Jesus!

Welcome to A New Life podcast with Pamela Jean, where it's all about empowering women to empower more women. Get ready, friends, to create a new life. And here is your host, Pamela Jean.

Hello, my friends, and welcome to this week's episode of A New Life podcast. I'm Pamela Jean, your host. I am so happy to have you here. Thank you very much for spending your time with my podcast and listening to what we have to say today. Your time is so valuable and I really appreciate you spending some time with me today. I'm so excited. I have a very special guest, someone who I have watched from afar for the last several years. I met this person about three or four years ago and really, really admired her. Her spirituality, her faith, her mission, her drive, her has been so inspiring to me, which has led me to invite her onto the podcast. And I'm telling you, I have never heard a person pray the way this woman prays. And I know you're gonna gonna love hearing my podcast episode today with Peggy Nunley. Peggy is in the field of mission work. She has been to over 40 nations, bringing church and God and Christianity all throughout the world. She has an incredible story mission, and I'm so excited for you to get to hear from my guest today, Peggy Nunley. Peggy, welcome to the podcast.

Thank you so much. I appreciate so much you allowing me to be on here and just so excited to be a part of what God's doing, even with you.

Thank you, Peggy. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. So tell the audience. Tell us about yourself. Where did you grow up? How did you become who you are today? I think it' for the audience to understand where you came from. Did you grow up in Oklahoma? Are you native here? Just give us a little backstory about you and how did you start your mission of All Star Mission?

All right. Well, actually, I am not a native to Oklahoma. I grew up. I was actually born in Kentucky, raised in Southern Indiana, and this accent is from the hills of Kentucky. A lot of people think it's Texan, but it's not. My family actually wasn't churched, and so I grew up in actually a lot of domestic violence. I was in foster care for a while. My mom went to prison. In fact, from the time I was young, it seemed as though kind of the cards were stacked against me. But I had an encounter when I was about 7 years old that changed me. I was in a church service. My family would go in and out of church at different times. My father was Catholic, and I feel like that they desired to do. Right. But you know, when we have brokenness in our life, we pass it on to our children. And both of my parents came from broken backgrounds. And so at the age of seven, we're in a church and the pastor gets up and he begins to talk about Jesus and begins to say that God loved us so much that he sent his son Jesus to die for us, which is the gospel, right? And as I'm hearing this, though, he begins to also say, he said that God wants to be a father to the fatherless and that when you receive Jesus, that you have access to God and that he wants to father you and to love you. When I heard that at the age of seven, it pricked my heart. Now I'm going to tell you, I didn't understand everything about how my sin separated me from God. But my father was sexually abusing me. I was watching my mom get beat up by my father continually. And my life was in chaos. And the longing of my heart is I wanted a father who would love me. And so when I heard the gospel message, that was what pricked my heart at the age of seven and began me on this kind of lifelong journey of getting to know Jesus and getting to know God as father. So, you know, as things went on, it wasn't until I was about 15 years of age that I had a friend invite me to church. And at this point, my parents had gotten a divorce, my mom had remarried, my stepfather was an alcoholic. Life just kind of continued, but it was pretty difficult growing up. This friend invited me to this little church and it was there that I got more introduction to who Jesus was. But I joined up with a youth group. And it was in that group, it was me and my friend. And it was a pretty small church and so we would sometimes kind partner with other churches if there was a larger youth meeting. And there was a meeting that was happening in Indianapolis, Indiana, and my mom decided to come. She didn't know Jesus, but they needed a sponsor. My friend came and we joined up with another youth group and we went an hour and a half north to Indianapolis. And there I gathered with about 3,000 young people that were my same age. And a man got on the stage and he began to talk out of John the ninth Chapter. And he began to share how God was calling my generation to get their hands dirty for the glory of God. He had these buckets on the stage full of dirt, and he put his hand in the dirt and he began to spit in the dirt, just like in the story of John. Nine, when Jesus began to spit and make mud balls to heal the man that had been born blind. And as this man was on the stage retelling the story, he takes his hands that are now just full of dirt and mud, and he holds them up and he says, God is calling you to get your hands dirty for those that cannot see. And it was a challenge that I had never heard in my life. And it was there that God began to move on me. I heard the voice of God so clearly that he was calling me to go. So it wasn't just this response to, I need to get my life right. I had done that. I had given my life to Jesus. I was learning to read the Bible, but I came from such brokenness that the enemy owned a lot of my thoughts. So as this man was giving this challenge, and I knew that I heard the Holy Spirit saying, peggy, I am calling you to go. There was another voice that I heard, and that voice was the voice of the enemy. And it was full of lies. And all I could hear was, there's no way that God could ever use you. Don't you know who you are? You've been in foster care. You know, you don't know enough of the Bible. You know you've been abused. You know, God doesn't use people like you. And I remember at this meeting, and I share this with you because, you know, just as I share a little bit about who I am, this was a marking moment in my life that everything shifted. And so as this happened, I actually didn't respond to the invitation. The lights came on. You know, the music stopped. Everybody begins to leave. And I'm standing there, and my mom, who didn't know Jesus at this time, turns to me and says, peggy, I think you're supposed to talk to that guy that was on stage. Of course, I'm 15. I'm shy backwards. You know, I'm a kid that's been through a lot of abuse. And so I just really walked in a lot of shame. And I had gripped the back of that seat when that invitation was going on. But I was paralyzed in fear to move. Those voices owned me. As we're leaving the auditorium, the man that had been on stage was standing by a table, and he just happened to be the of all Star missions. And as we walked past them, my mom looked at me and she says, like I said, I think you're supposed to talk to him. And as we're walking past, she pushes me into the sky. I couldn't believe it. I was so Humiliated.

Parents have a way of doing that to us, don't they?

What I love is my mom didn't know Jesus. She really didn't even know what she was doing. She's just being a mom. But I love that the Bible says that God owns the heart of the king and eternal it like a river, whichever direction he would choose. And I believe in that moment that God was ordering my steps. Even though I didn't know I was supposed to be connected to this guy, the Lord was. This was this marking moment in my life that he was pushing me toward a purpose that I would see, you know, 25, 30 years later. So as I fell into this guy, he helps me, you know, he slaps a brochure in my hand and he says, I believe God's calling you to Eastern Europe this summer. I don't think I said a word and literally took the brochure and we walked away. Well, that drive back to Southern Indiana, I looked at that brochure, and I must have read it over and over again. I read every word, even the fine print of the copyright. The next morning was a Sunday morning. I go to church, and my pastor's there. And this is a little bitty Baptist church. I mean, there's probably like 20 members in this whole place. We don't even have a stop sign in our community. I mean, it's a little. That I'm from. And I go up to my pastor, the boldest move I'd ever made at that point. And I said, I think God might be calling me to go with this organization. And he looked at me, he says, that's wonderful. He says, I want you to tell the whole church this morning. I was mortified. You know, I thought, there's no way. I couldn't. I couldn't talk to that guy. Even when my mom pushed me into him. How could I stand in front of a whole church? And before I knew it, he had me up there, I had the brochure, and, you know, I'm a girl, and so what do we do when we're nervous and afraid? I start crying. And everything in me, I just start saying, God's called me to go to this place and understood me. I think they felt sorry for me. But all 20 people, you know, the Lord moved in that church. And before I knew it, in two and a half weeks, they had raised $3,000, bought me my first passport, and they were getting me ready to go to Eastern Europe.

Oh, my gosh, Peggy. That's phenomenal. So I have a couple Questions, if you don't mind. The first one is who was the man that spoke on the stage when you were 15 at the youth event? Who was that?

That was Walker Moore and he's the founder of All Star Missions.

Okay, perfect. I was curious of who, who that was. Can you tell me how being at the that event, as your mom, as a sponsor, who really hadn't been super involved in church or really understood faith at that time, how did that moment change her?

Well, I think in the moment I didn't see the fruit. But as I've looked back and as she has looked back, she realizes how God was ordering her steps. You know, my mom, and here's the thing with a lot of people, my mom had been exposed to the gospel numerous times, and probably if you had asked her, she would say, yeah, I'm a Christian. But she really didn't understand what being a Christian meant. She didn't understand the transformation that comes with the gospel. And so it wasn't until years later that she was actually in prison and the Lord began to move in her life that I think the understanding really hit her. You know, we can know about Jesus, but there's something different when we receive Jesus.

Absolutely. That's. That's incredible. Thank you for sharing that. I was just curious of what that was like. I know. You know, I think the thing that's so interesting and so true to everyone, everyone comes from something broken. I don't know of anyone, I've not met anyone that had this perfect life, that didn't have the hardships. Some are harder than others, for sure. But when, but when you're able to look at those hard times and see where God was in those moments, you fully understand how he used that very moment for your benefit, for you to be exactly where you're meant to be.

Right? Yeah. You know, I often think about, you know, in Genesis 50, you know, you go through the story of Joseph and you know, man, when I look at someone in the Bible that suffered injustice, I mean, this guy had a dream from the Lord and then his brother sewed him down the river, literally sold him as a slave. I mean, it's the first documentation of trafficking in the Bible. And this guy is, I mean, he's sowed and then he's imprisoned and he's falsely accused. I mean, it was like one thing after another. And it was in a 22 year span from the time he had the dream of his brothers bowing in front of him that he shared that made them all mad, when it was actually Fulfilled. But that whole journey was just a journey of injustice and pain and brokenness, the effects of a broken world. But in Genesis 50:20, we see one of the most profound scriptures that. That I've ever seen is where he says, and this is when his father's died. And now his brothers, you know, they're living in Egypt because of the famine. And they think now that our father is dead, Joseph is really going to take revenge on us for what we did. And Joseph, in tears, looks at them and says, what you meant for evil? The Lord has turned for good, for the salvation of many. And I think that if we could see that in the backdrop of our lives, in the backdrop of injustice, in the backdrop of brokenness, that God has a plan that we cannot see. And if we can entrust our pain, our wounds, our disappointments to a faithful God, he will actually take those wounds and turn them to weapons against the enemy. He always what is meant for evil, for good, if we will entrust it back to him. And I think that's the key. You know, it's all of us experience brokenness. All of us have pain. In fact, until the day we die, we're not going to escape that because we live in a broken world. There is nothing in this world that it is the way it was supposed to have been. We go back to Genesis, we can see God's plan and God's purpose. We were never meant to live in bondage and shame and sin the way that we are. And so our job now is we're going to have these effects. We're all going to experience the brokenness. But I think that what the Lord wants from us is if we will entrust it back to him. I think that's when we find freedom and healing.

Oh, that's so true. That's very, very well said. So, Peggy, have a question. How people make an impact. And I'm curious to know who inspired you to become who you are today.

Well, there was a couple people. I would say there's two people that have had the greatest impact on my life. The first one is the founder of All Star and Walker Moore. He became a spiritual father in my life. I ended up going on that initial trip. God radically impacted me, changed me. And that's where I actually learned discipleship. It wasn't just that I knew about the Lord. I knew I was supposed to share about Jesus, but I was actually taught how to read the word of God, how to study it, how to understand it, and given just this rite of passage into adult Christianity, that when I received Jesus, I got an adult Holy Spirit, even though I was a teenager at that time, that God had an assignment on my life. So he really impacted just my understanding of Scripture and even just my heart to go toward the nations. But the second person that probably has had just as much impact on my life is a mentor of mine named Sabrina Miller. And when I was about 19 years old, I began praying for a female mentor in my life. And I had looked at a lot of women in the church, and honestly, I didn't want to be like them. For many of them, you know, if they read their Bible, they had never shared the gospel. I had already learned how to share the gospel. I. I didn't feel called to nursery work. I didn't feel called to. And of course, at this time, I was in a Baptist setting. And so as a female in the Baptist church, there wasn't a lot of options on ministry at that time. And I knew that I had a gift of teaching and preaching. And so I just really began to ask the Lord to put a woman in my life. Because even as much as I loved Walker and the impact he had had on me, there were places that he couldn't speak into my life that only a female could. So as I began to pray, I ended up going out to Skuyatook, Oklahoma, speaking at a church in a youth group. And she happened to be the youth minister there at that time. She was a little flashy, loved Jesus, she could preach, and had a passion for sharing the gospel. That began a journey for us of about 20 years of mentorship. I still call her my mentor.

That's. That's awesome.

And so having that female voice in my life that is further along than me has really been one of the biggest factors for me of impact.

That's fantastic. So tell us more about Austar Missions. Who does allstar Missions serve? Tell us a little bit more about your mission work.

Okay. Well, I've been the president of All Star for about. I'm going on my sixth year. I actually worked the first tenure. So the organization is about 30 years old. The first 10 years of all Star, I was a part as a student and then moved through leadership and actually went on staff and directed their missions for several years before I got married. So I've been a part of this organization for a really long time. And when the founder retired, he passed the baton on to me. And allstar is a discipleship ministry now. We take high school and college students all over the world. We are very involved with Gen Z and just believing for the Lord to reach them, but to mobilize them into the God assignments over their life. We also do medical missions. My husband's an ER doc and when I came on board as president, we kind of added this as a part of to the big vision of the ministry to incorporate mobilizing medical people to unreached people groups. So we do a lot of work in North Africa, the Middle east, working with refugees around the world. Then the third side of who All Star is is that in the last two years I've developed what we call All Women, which is a ministry of mobilizing and discipling women specifically. So like next month I'm taking a group of 30 women leaders and we're going to Las Vegas and we're going to be developing leadership with them. Most of these women are involved in some type of women's ministry. So I want to take them to a place where they fall back in love with ministry, places where they've been hurt by the church and just see healing over them and then charge them. We'll actually go to the Vegas strip and we'll do street worship and we teach them how to share the gospel. And it's pretty impactful to see these women that have been involved in the church their whole life also begin to connect with the lost world operating outside the walls of the church. And so I have a huge passion for seeing, just like I was mentored, I want to see other women mentored and that these young girls that are being raised up in the church, that they would have mothers and even, you know, fathers in the faith that would speak into them and to call out the God gifts that are resting inside of this generation.

Oh, that's fantastic. How often do you go on different mission trips? Is it just a couple a year? Is it multiple? Tell me a little bit about that.

Well, it's multiple. So we have. So next month I'll be taking a group to Vegas. In March, I've got a student team I'm taking into Mexico. Then in June we'll have another team going back to Vegas, another women's group. And then the summer, we'll spend a lot of the summer in Germany. We're going after the 12 districts of Berlin. We've partnered with the Tulsa House of Prayer here in Tulsa. And we'll have a 21 day group of students that will go and spend the entire time. We'll disciple them, train them in evangelism, and we'll go after ministry in the streets of Berlin and Then we have a 10 day group of adults that will be coming alongside joining that mission. We have trips throughout the entire year. We also have medical trips that go out typically in January and sometimes in the summer we'll mobilize a medical team as well.

Oh, fantastic. So Peggy, if someone listening would like to connect and go on one of your mission trips, what would be the best way for them to connect and apply to go or look at joining you and your team?

Yeah, well, we're all over social media, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and that's just All Star Missions. And it's awe, like awe in reverence toward God. S T A R missions. They can also go to our website, which is All Star A W E s t a r.org and any of those places they can find us.

Okay, excellent. That's fantastic. Because I have a feeling after, you know, the audience is listening to this, someone's going to want to go with you. I just know that. And someone will want to get involved. Are there local opportunities to get involved?

Yeah, we do some things locally as well. You know, we'll do discipleship trainings here. We partner with a lot of different churches, but we also do some outreach. We love to partner with Spirit Life Church here in Tulsa. Tulsa House of Prayer. We do a lot of Ministry on 61st in Peoria, and so they consider that Hope Valley here in Tulsa. And so we've been doing a lot of just evangelism outreach in that area.

Oh, excellent. So if someone is not willing, you know, ready to get to jet set and get the wings on, they have opportunities to get involved locally as well.

Absolutely. And we love volunteers and so we do a lot of preparation, getting ready for trips. And so if there's people, even those that are retired that would love to come serve and even pray through our offices, we welcome all of that.

Oh, that's fantastic. So good. So Peggy, what is the hardest thing about being an entrepreneur? Because you are an entrepreneur in the business of mission work. Because at the end of the day, mission work is a business. How do you balance that? And what does that look like?

Well, you're right, it is.

I know that's. It's kind of a hard question because when you think about, you know, a church, it shouldn't be, but a church has to be run like a business or it won't survive. A mission has to be run like a business or it won't survive. How do you balance that? I know that's kind of a. A difficult question, but I'm Just curious, because that sounds like a good challenge to me.

And it is a challenge. You know that that's the hardest part of my job is looking at budgets and then also praying in faith, looking at what resources do we have on hand and what is God asking us to do and to trust him for the resources to come. You always want to be a good steward, and yet sometimes faith means you step out outside of what is available because you're trusting God for what he supernaturally wants to provide. And there's always a tension there. And so I spend a lot of time in prayer asking the Lord to give me wisdom, discernment. You know, I surround myself with other faith leaders that can help me to clearly balance that fine line of what you walk. Because there's always a tension when you are in ministry. And you have to, at the same time, have staff and staff meetings and budgets, and you have to dot your I's and cross your T's. All of those things are important, and they're important to God that we run a ministry of excellence. At the same time, you always want it to be a ministry first. And so you have to prioritize things a little bit differently. So you have to prioritize prayer. You have to prioritize the things that, you know, matter to the heart of God most. I actually don't believe anything happens in the natural apart from what God is already doing in the supernatural. As we pray, it's what's in the backdrop that God is doing. So when we're there praying, that's where the work is happening. And then we just get to experience the manifestation of that when we're walking it out in nations or in ministry. There's a lot of things that make it difficult at times. There's a lot of opposition. You're confronting a kingdom of darkness. The Bible says that the God of this age is opposing the work of the Lord. We definitely sense that in ministry. Sometimes that comes through a spirit of religion. And so you can try to. You know, we do a lot of collaboration, a lot of just trying to join arms with other ministries. And sometimes that can be perceived by others as, you know, they look at you in a view of competition, which is sad, but it is a reality. There's not always unity in places that you would love for there to be unity. You know, we pray a lot for funding. You know, anytime you are taking the gospel across the world, you know, there are plane tickets involved. There's insurance that you provide for those that go on your trips. There's costs. And so these are places that you're continually trusting the Lord that he'll provide for what he has called you to do.

And then that's such a good explanation, Peggy, because as I was preparing for our interview, I work with a lot of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs and business. Business people, not necessarily in the realm of mission work. And I was just thinking how difficult that must be to balance the entrepreneurial, entrepreneurial part of it and the business side of it. But yet, number one, you're a mission. So thank you for that explanation. Did you have anything else you wanted to add to that?

The only other thing would be is we are always praying for laborers. And so everything we do is dependent on people giving their yes to the Lord. And so believe it or not, sometimes that is one of the hard things about what we do is because not everybody's given their yes. And so we're out there mobilizing and asking the Lord to move on people's hearts. So you know what? I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love what I get to do.

I have no doubt after seeing you speak and listening to you pray, I know you love what you do. Without a doubt. If there's a business owner listening, Peggy, that would like to bring a faith emphasis into their businesses, do you have any advice for them? Because I love what you said about your mission first. Well, as a business owner, we can be mission driven as well with the clients and people we're meant to serve and still be able to have an impact, a Christian faith like impact on our clients without being labeled necessarily a mission work, if you will. If someone has a business that would like to bring faith into their businesses, do you have any advice to that?

Well, yeah, I would encourage them to remember they're always a Christian first, that their character, how they love people, how they listen to people, how they serve people, matters more in their business. It actually matters more to God and how they steward that business for his kingdom than any profit they'll ever make. And you know that their influence, they actually could have greater influence than even what I have or any pastor in our city, city has because they have access to people that many of them don't go to church. And it's never about forcing the gospel. But you know, the Bible says that we are to be salt and light. And so I would encourage them to be intentional with their faith in their business. You know, my husband is an ER doc and he works for St. John Ascension. And one thing I love about that, he loves about working for them is it's a Catholic based hospital. And so he actually has the opportunity and the privilege to be able to share the gospel in the er. And he prays with patients all the time now. It's always respectful. He asks permission, he never forces anything. But he's a doctor that says he's a Christian before he's a doctor. And I think that's so important that, you know, as much as pastors and ministry leaders will have impact, I believe my husband has a greater impact than I do every day. He has people that are hurting, that have needs coming to him every day. And he's assessing them on the physical, but he's also assessing them on the spiritual of why has God allowed their paths to cross? And so I would say in the same way business owners should be asking the Lord God, how do you want me to steward the people you're putting in front of me? How do you want me to be salt and light in my conversations, in the way that I practice business with the people around me?

Peggy, thank you for that answer. I know I didn't send you that as a question, so I caught you may be a little off guard, but that was just perfect. Thank you so much for that. So where do you think All Star missions will be in 10 years? What's your 10 year vision?

Well, I would love to see us on every continent. And what I mean by that, not necessarily offices, but I would love to see us have mission teams mobilized to every continent. You know, a part of my passion here at allstar is and for this generation, I would love to see the last missionary raised up that will lead the last person to Jesus before he returns. So my goal is that we keep raising up missionaries. Now those missionaries may not be career in the sense that they travel to another country and live there for the rest of their life. Those missionaries may be future teachers, judges, police officers, teachers that we teach a generation to live the lifestyle of a missionary wherever God takes them in the world. And so I would love to see that we have representatives on every continent.

That's fantastic. And I have no doubt, Peggy, that you're going to reach that goal in 10 years. We'll talk and I will imagine you've reached that goal. That's fantastic. So what is one thing that no one in the world knows about you, Peggy?

Yeah, this was such a hard question as I was looking at it and I'm like, I. I think, you know, there's something I don't tell people. I can't say no one in the world knows. I Feel like I'm pretty transparent. And so I don't, I don't actually have a lot of secrets. But one thing I don't know people is I never watch a movie twice and I don't know why, but once I've seen it, I can't watch it again. Now I listen to worship songs over and over, messages over and over, podcasts over and over. But movies, I only watch them once.

Okay, that's great. That's one of my favorite questions to ask because some people will give a crazy quirky something and others, you know, it's just fun to see what people come up with. And you're the first one to say that. So that's a great, that's a great one. So looking back at your life, what advice would you give that 13 year old you, that 13 year old little girl that just turned into the teenage years of her life? What advice do you have for her?

Well, I would tell my 13 year old son self, don't give up. God is going to be faithful. He's going to see you through and he's going to move you in places that you could never imagine. And then I would tell myself, laugh more.

That's good, that's good. I think, you know, it's hard to be a teenager. I mean it's hard to be a kid growing up I think anyway, let alone with the complicated layers that you definitely experience, experienced as a young person and to laugh more and to realize that the brokenness of other people has nothing to do with you. Yes, you're not the cause of the brokenness of the people in your life. And I'm just, it's so, just heartwarming and amazing to see Peggy what you've done from the brokenness that you experienced in your life. So I'm just so happy for you and admire the relationship you have with the Lord because I know he's carri you through all of that and that's just, just amazing. So what do you like to do? What's your favorite thing to do in your downtime? Because I know you don't work 247 or at least I hope you're not working 24 7.

Yeah, well, you know, I love to travel and I travel a lot but honestly, in my downtime I love, I, you know, I listen to a lot of audible books because I'm on the go a lot but I actually enjoy just sitting down and reading and just that quiet space of just being able to read and to underline, I like old fashioned books. You know, the flipping of the pages, underlining different parts of it, writing in the, in the column beside it, the things that I'm thinking about as I'm reading. So that's what I enjoy to do.

I like that. Do you get much time to do that?

Not a lot.

I can't imagine. I'm looking at your travel schedule and I'm like, yeah, she doesn't do that very often.

Yeah, it's kind of rare. And that's why I listen a lot to books because I just love learning. But slowing down enough to be able to just sit down and read, you know, maybe I do it on airplanes sometimes when I've got weekends home. Of course, when, when you travel a lot. I've got four kids and so, you know, you've got laundry and the house. I mean just all the things right. Pile up. And so setting down is not one of those things. I do a lot of.

Right. I completely understand. I definitely understand that. So wrapping it up today, one final question for you, Peggy. What advice would you give the person who is dreaming big things? They have an entrepreneurial spirit, a love for the Lord, a mission idea, a dream. What would you tell that dreamer that's standing in the way of getting started to live out their life's purpose? What advice do you have for that person?

I would tell them, go for it. If you fail, fail forward. Just don't stop. I think it is so important to keep going after those big dreams that God puts in your heart because if he put it in there, then he's going to fulfill it. Now sometimes we get in our own way. Sometimes we have to mature into the dream he's put inside of us. But you know, I just had this philosophy. I don't want to live with regret. I don't want to look back in five years or 10 years and think I should have gone for it. And I didn't. That's why.

Such great advice, Peggy. And, and I think you, you've lived that because at 15 you met the founder of All Star Mission and look where you are today. That that seed was planted, that dream was planted in your heart and God was going to see it through. Whether or not Peggy was ready to stand on stage and speak to the. To the. Or not.

Yeah. God is faithful and in many times the very thing that stands in the way of us fulfilling that, that God sized dream is just our lack of movement. And, and I think if we will just move forward, God will meet us every step of the way. Doesn't mean it'll be easy. And, and sometimes, I mean, there's going to be setbacks along the way. But if you will just keep going for it, I'm telling you, God will meet you in it.

Oh, that's such great advice. So, Peggy, if you will, one more time, will you let the audience know how to get in touch with you, how to follow you? If you have, have you written any books that people might want to purchase or download or give us a little bit of information on getting a hold of you one more time, please?

Yeah, so I just released a book in June. It's called I Am his. And if you would like a copy of that, you can find it on Amazon. I also have a personal website where I blog and do some other things like that. And you can get a copy of the book from there as well. And that's peggynunley.com and if you are interested in going on a mission trip again, I would love for you to be a part of what God is doing here at allstar. And you can go to our website or any social media and it's All Star A W E S T A R dot O R G Excellent.

Thank you, Peggy. And one last question. Are you on the speaking circuit? If there's someone listening that has an event coming up that they're looking for a motivational Christian speaker? Is that something that you do as well?

Yes, I do a lot of that. And so I would love for them to reach out to me on my website and on All Stars, there's a place for them to request me to speak and I would love to talk with them and see what their event's about and to see if it's a good fit.

Oh, that's excellent, Peggy, because I honestly, I got to know you through attending an event where you were a speaker and I've come across you multiple times since then and just am so inspired with your story and your mission and everything that you're doing. And I have never in my life heard someone pray the way that you do. It's magical, it's meaningful and really, really touched me deeply. So, Peggy, thank you so much for being here today. I just, you have no idea how much I appreciate your time.

Thank you so much. I appreciate just getting to know you more and to be able to be on your podcast. You're a blessing. Thank you so much.

Oh, absolutely. And my friends, thank you so much for joining Peggy and I today and listening to this podcast. I hope you're half as inspired as I am. Have an amazing week and we will talk to you soon.

Thank you for joining us today on a New Life podcast. We will see you next time.

Sam.
