Hope on the Frontlines: Kristy Graham on Faith, Family & Serving Without Burnout

Diane Nix talks with Kristy Graham, host of On the Ground and part of the Samaritan’s Purse family, about living faithfully on the frontlines—where suffering is real and hope is stronger. Kristy shares practices that keep her rooted in Scripture, how she protects family life in a visible calling, and what to do when compassion fatigue creeps in. You’ll also hear moving stories from disaster responses and how Operation Christmas Child and The Greatest Journey open doors for the gospel worldwide.

Key Takeaways

• Serve through Christ, not merely for Him—let His strength carry the weight.
• Guard your home with prayerful boundaries and wise transparency.
• “Selah” matters: rest, breathe, and reset before pouring out again.
• Build your village before the crisis; community is a spiritual safeguard.
• Women have a vital, God-affirmed role in global ministry—seen, called, and needed.
