💡 In this conversation, we explore:

  • Why clarity of calling is your lifeline on the hardest days.

  • How God calls in four ways—dramatic, family, gifts, and community.

  • Spiritual gifts fuel endurance; self-reliance leads to burnout.

  • Embracing God’s “No” to avoid disappointment and jealousy.

  • Disunity destroys mission—pray for other churches, not fight them.

  • Staying focused—our cultural moment demands unity and perseverance.
