Irene Powch shares her story today, as a first-generation immigrant from Ukraine and a young woman who thrived in academia, but also as one who had to go into the wilderness to truly find her call.
“God always has a seat at the table waiting for us,” Irene says. For her, it took wandering across Alaska, Guatemala, and returning home to New York to find her seat in her career, in her faith, and in her family heritage.
If God is the light that shines in the darkness, Irene says, “What matters to God is a pure, sincere, open heart, not a pedigree.”
Listen to Irene’s story, and consider how it asks you to reflect on the places where you are meant to amplify God’s light.
