What happens when you say yes to a calling—and then find yourself living in a completely different culture?

In Episode 2 of our special Built Differently series, we continue our conversation with Jon and Dulce as they take us beyond the decision to enter the mission field and into the reality of actually living it.

Culture shock isn't always about food, language, or unfamiliar surroundings. Sometimes it's the realization that the things you thought were normal aren't normal everywhere—and that adapting requires humility, patience, and a willingness to see the world differently.

Jon and Dulce share stories from their early experiences in the mission field, including the moments that caught them off guard, the challenges they didn't expect, and the people who became some of their most unexpected teachers.

We talk about what happens when the excitement wears off, how different cultures can challenge your assumptions, and how difficult experiences can shape both individuals and a marriage.

The journey continues—with culture shock, unexpected lessons, and a whole new perspective on what it means to serve together.
