You're in a relationship, but you're unsure if your callings align.“What if this means we're not meant to be together?”“What if I'm missing God's will?”In this episode, we talk about why uncertainty around calling creates so much anxiety in Christian relationships, and why not having clarity doesn't mean you're doing something wrong.We also discuss how fear can disguise itself as discernment, and how to approach questions about calling without spiraling into overthinking.You're not broken. You're not behind. And you didn't ruin God's plan.Hope you enjoy!

Husbands have two main callings that require intentional effort: marriage and business.

In our reaction to Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 10, we take a close look at Kody's sudden desire to “apologize” to his ex-wives — and why it doesn't feel like the sincere accountability he thinks it is. Instead of owning the hurt he caused, Kody seems more interested in apologizing on his terms, in his timing, and in a way that centers his comfort rather than the women he hurt. We also touch on Janelle's background and how she came to join Mormon fundamentalism, but only as context for how deeply these relationships were rooted for her .

Some people are lucky enough to get paid to do what they love. But many are not.In You Have a Calling: Finding Your Vocation in the True, Good, and Beautiful, (Brazos Press, 2025), award-winning author Karen Swallow Prior has encouraging news: If you pursue the good, true, and beautiful in all your work, you will find your greatest fulfillment. In this conversation, we discuss:* The difference between passion and calling. How does this help us make vocational decisions?* What are the various callings we have, not just in our 9-to-5, but in all of life?* How does our context determine our callings, including when and where we live, who is in our lives, and what needs arise? * How are our callings from outside ourselves, often in the service to others?* How can we find meaning in every role, regardless of what our career is?* How can we reintegrate our vocational lives through truth, goodness, and beauty?Our discussion will help anyone and everyone who wants to know that our daily work, ordinary though it may be, can fulfill a higher calling to God. You will gain a renewed sense of purpose, knowing you are created for virtue in all that you do.

Complex Callings: I Quit! (Or, God in the Void) 11-2-25 by LifePath Church

After 36 weeks of deep theological teaching in Romans, Paul surprises readers by ending with something unexpected: a long list of names. Rather than concluding with more doctrine, he celebrates the real people who served faithfully behind the scenes, carried the gospel forward, and opened their homes for ministry. This final chapter provides a masterclass on championing others instead of seeking personal glory.Paul highlights remarkable individuals like Phoebe, a deacon who likely delivered this theologically rich letter to Rome, and the ministry couple Priscilla and Aquila, who risked their lives for the gospel and turned their home into a church. He mentions faithful servants whose names we barely know but whose contributions were vital to the early church's growth. Paul also warns against division makers who serve their own appetites and use smooth talk to deceive, emphasizing the importance of protecting unity while building others up.The true mark of gospel transformation isn't just saving faith, but the humility that shares the spotlight with others. When grace changes your life, you stop trying to be the hero of your own story and start helping others discover their calling. Paul's example teaches us that mature believers don't just run their own race - they cheer others toward the finish line, recognizing that invisible service doesn't mean insignificant impact.

We never graduate from being transformed.This week, Amy Ward shares on what it truly means to behold God and be changed by Him, from glory to glory. Our number one calling is to love Him, to know Him, and to become like Him.As we grow in gifting and calling, the question remains: are we becoming more Christlike? When our success is measured by transformation instead of achievement, obedience becomes the natural response.Join us as we explore what it means to live a life worthy of His calling, not striving for it, but becoming it.
