Ep. 4: When Calling Costs More Than You Expected

from The Purpose & Calling Podcast · host Tereciah V. Smithen-Quintana

You said yes to God. You’re moving. And now it’s costing more than you expected. Maybe the people closest to you don’t understand it. A spouse who questions the finances or the time. Friends who have grown quiet. A church community that hasn’t shown up the way you hoped. And somewhere in the middle of carrying all of that, you’ve found yourself asking God a question you feel a little embarrassed to ask:  “God — why did you call me to this if it was going to be this hard?”  That question is not weak faith. It’s one of the most honest things you can bring to God right now.  In this fourth and final episode of The Pull series, we go into the season nobody prepares you for. The resistance. The cost. The emotions you don’t have language for yet. And what all of it is actually doing in you.  This season is not happening to you. It is happening for you. Sometimes understanding the process changes the way you walk through it.  The Purpose & Calling Show with Tereciah V. Smithen-Quintana.If this teaching resonated with you, you don't have to keep walking through this alone.
