From classrooms to corporations to everyday moments of obedience, each guest unpacks what it means to live on mission—right where you are. Whether you're in a season of transition, waiting, or wondering what’s next, this episode will equip and encourage you to embrace your God-given calling with clarity and confidence. Calling Is a Relationship, Not Just a RoleDr. Arianna Molloy shares how true calling is anchored in relationship with the Caller, not just what we do—and how this keeps us grounded and joyful over time. The Hidden Cost of CallingDr. Molloy explains why people who feel called are also most prone to burnout—and how to pursue a healthy, sustainable version of calling that doesn’t sacrifice your soul. Mission in the MarketplaceApril Stallworth speaks powerfully about recognizing your workplace as a mission field and bringing Christ’s presence with you, even when you can’t speak His name out loud. Obedience Opens DoorsChristine Caine reflects on her earliest years in ministry and how simply showing up with a willing heart set the trajectory for everything that followed. It’s Not About Being the Best—It’s About Being AvailableChristine challenges the myth that you must be the most qualified to be used by God. What matters most is your availability, not your résumé.
