    Discover Your Calling

    In this episode of The Marriage Altaer Podcast, we dive into the topic of God's calling and how it plays out in our everyday lives. What does it mean to be "called"? Is it always something grand and glorious, or have we romanticized what calling really is? Sometimes, God's unique calling may be as simple as being a great parent, spouse, or a faithful steward in a job that doesn't seem ideal. We often don't realize the true impact of the purpose God places on our lives because it might not always look significant in OUR eyes—but it's always meaningful in His. Join us as we explore how to recognize God's calling, even when it feels small, and discuss why fulfilling that purpose is about obedience and faithfulness, not fame or grandeur.
