Have you ever experienced a spiritual wilderness?
In this episode, I’m talking with Corella Roberts. Her Fierce Calling thus far includes a difficult season in bush Alaska and adventures in Thailand. Hear what she learned during her spiritual wilderness, what her family is currently praying and waiting for, and how God is using her in a land that is less than 1% Christian. Plus she’s writing a book and we get to hear the details. Listen in!

Born and raised in northern Idaho, Corella’s love for books and writing developed at an early age. After high school, she ventured off to St. Paul, MN where she earned a degree from the University of Northwestern and first heard the call to be a missionary teacher.
She married her high school sweetheart, Troy Roberts, and they moved to teach in a village of about fifty people in bush Alaska. After seven years, during which time they almost gave up on missions entirely, God saw fit to rekindle their desire to teach in unreached parts of the world. That’s when they moved to Chiang Rai, Thailand.
They have two spunky children who love sloths and hamsters, they eat cheap Thai food to their hearts’ content, and they support the amazing community of missionaries there through teaching and organizing community events.
Recently, God has invited Corella to return to her passion for writing, and she is working on a book about the literal and spiritual wilderness she experienced in Alaska, and the surprise of finding God’s fingerprints all over that part of her story.
