Episode 99 – Show Notes for Michele Phoenix Interview Part One

Michele is an author, consultant and speaker for “Third Culture Kids” – these are kids born or raised in a culture other than their parents’ native cultures…typical of children born into missionary families.

Michele was born in France to a Canadian father and an American mother and was raised as a “Missionary Kid” and then spent 20 years at the Black Forest Academy in Germany before launching her own advocacy group, “Global Outreach Mission.

Michele travels frequently all across the globe and teaches on topics related to this unique group of people – the Third Culture Kids.

In her recent book, “Of Stillness and Storm” – Michele weaves and intimate and intriquette story of one woman’s journey through the temptations and tempests of a life devoted to God. AND though the book plays out in foreign settings – its themes of love, parenthood, doubt, dissatisfaction….alienation…AND healing – well, they are universal and anyone can relate to them…

The story outline is that a woman named Lauren and her husband, after 10 years of trying…finally reached their dream of reaching the remote primitive tribes located in a remote part of Nepal. But while her husband made his treks into the Himalayas and was gone for weeks at a time, Lauran and her son Ryan had to stay behind. While Lauren’s husband found passion and purpose in his work, Lauren was facing problems staying behind. What at first started as a calling, soon begins to feel like the family’s undoing. At the peak of her isolation, a friend re-enters Lauren’s life…which creates additional tension and also a new burden on their son, Ryan.

Michele discusses why she chose to write a fictional book about the trials missionary kids (MK’s as she calls them) and their families are facing.

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
