Finding Purpose in College

College students do not need a five-year plan to find purpose - they need the courage to take the next faithful step. Eric Davis sits down with Anders Estorge for a brutally honest conversation about purpose, calling, and why Christian community matters more than having your whole life figured out. Anders shares how he went from serving at The Wesley to directing Care Portal Integration for the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services, connecting churches and communities to help keep kids out of foster care and support kinship, reunification, and family care across the state. He also opens up about starting seminary and pursuing his MDiv while still learning, listening, and saying yes to the doors God keeps opening. You’ll discover: Why “purpose” can feel overwhelming - and how to reframe it as faithfulness in today’s moment The difference between chasing a big mystical calling and showing up with your gifts, your work, and your whole heart How Christian community, mentors, and friends can reveal gifts you can’t yet see in yourself Why “nobody knows what they’re doing” might be the most freeing truth a college student can hear How small obedient steps can lead to unexpected direction, including a seminary call that arrived at the most surprising time Eric and Anders also unpack Ephesians 2:10 and what it means to begin with what God has already done in you instead of obsessing over what you’re trying to accomplish for Him. The conversation gets practical and personal as Anders explains how prayer, discernment, and surrounding yourself with the right people shape real decisions in college and beyond.If you’re a freshman, transfer student, or anyone staring at the next chapter and feeling behind, this episode is a reset. It is a reminder that you do not need every answer before you obey, and that purpose often becomes clear only after you start walking. Essential listening if you’ve ever wondered, “What am I supposed to do with my life?” - and need encouragement to trust God with the next step instead.
