Modern Day Missionaries
The “Modern Day Missionaries” podcast discusses topics that affect the lives of Christian missionaries on the mission field in the areas of faith, freedom, family, and finances. It is produced by "Modern Day Missions" and hosted by Stephanie Leigh Gutierrez.
Each episode in the “Modern Day Missionaries” podcast is a conversational interview where Stephanie hosts guests who are experts in their fields and who either are or have been missionaries, or who serve in the missions space. At Modern Day, we want to help missionaries be their very best so they can give their very best!

Missionary, What If Shame Is Calling the Shots? With Dr. Curt Thompson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You're serving full-time. You're pouring yourself out. And yet, you still feel like it's not enough.
Many missionaries live with an unnamed pressure, a constant inner drive to do more, be more, prove more. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Curt Thompson helps us uncover the role that shame plays in shaping our stories and how it may be calling the shots in your life and ministry without you even knowing it.
Could shame be behind your exhaustion, disconnection, or sense of not-enoughness?
Discover why shame shows up so shockingly early in all of our lives, how it disconnects us, and what it looks like to become whole again, from the inside out. This episode is an invitation to name what’s really going on beneath the surface and begin a path toward healing, hope, and wholeness.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why shame starts early, before we even have words
- How shame can shape your identity and calling without you realizing it
- What happens when disintegration replaces connection in missionary life
- Why the antidote to shame isn't advice, but presence
- How to take your first steps toward healing and wholeness
