In this laugh-out-loud mini episode, our hapless missionary duo dives into the chaos of their early days in Italy, where Ben, the king of overconfidence, learns that four cups of Italian espresso before a church visit is a terrible idea. From shaky hands and rapid-fire sermons to the concerned side-eye of their beloved Italian pastor, Abel, this episode is a caffeinated rollercoaster of humor and sarcasm. Tune in for a quick, lighthearted tale of missionary missteps and the perils of underestimating Italy’s tiniest cups!

In this hilarious and heartfelt debut mini episode of Notes From a Failed Missionary, host April, your self-proclaimed "failed missionary," kicks off with a wild tale from her upcoming book of the same name. With upbeat, quirky acoustic guitar vibes setting the tone, April takes us back to 2015, when she, her husband Ben, and their three kids embarked on a mission fueled by caffeine and boundless optimism. Their grand plan? To spread the love of Christ by offering free labor to farms, businesses, and neighbors—think tiny humans hauling hay bales and scrubbing floors in the name of faith. Spoiler: it didn’t go as planned. From suspicious homeowners to awkward encounters, April shares the cringe-worthy yet heartwarming misadventure of their "slave labor with divine love" scheme. Packed with sound effects like record scratches and sad trombones, this episode is a delightful teaser for the chaotic, well-meaning stories in her book. Subscribe for more mini episodes and stay tuned for the release of Notes From a Failed Missionary!
