Mabel Ninan: Living as Citizens of Heaven and Foreigners on Earth

Have you ever felt out of place? A little lost after moving to a new town, state, or even country? My guest today is Mabel Ninan. After moving to America from India as a newlywed, Mabel struggled with identity and purpose. Then something exciting and unexpected happened–God revealed to her she was not only an earthly immigrant but a spiritual one too, and what she was feeling was more natural than she thought. On today’s show, we’re talking about living as citizens of heaven and foreigners on earth.

Mabel shares her story, her struggles, and her sacred journey of spiritual discovery of renewed joy and hope. We gain a new perspective when we remember this is not our home, but while we’re here, God has a purpose for each of our lives.

I know what Mabel has to share will encourage, inspire, and challenge you–so listen in while I have a chat with Mabel Ninan.

Favorite Quotes from Living as Citizens of Heaven and Foreigners on Earth

“… we are called to engage with culture lovingly so that they see we are different.”

“It’s important that we see our lives here on earth as a journey with a purpose.”

–Mabel Ninan

“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our lowly condition into conformity with His glorious body, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.” Philippians 3:20-21 (NASB)
