Ep. 21: How to Discover Your Calling and Trust God’s Plan for Your Life

In this episode, Kenny Barnwell and Shannon Thompson talk about calling, purpose, faith, stewardship, and trusting God’s timing for our lives.The conversation quickly turns into a deeper discussion about sacrifice, surrender, and how God often calls us into things that stretch us far beyond our comfort zones.Kenny shares reflections from reading Called by John Bevere and going through the Messenger X “Called” course, including powerful insights about stewardship, patience, and how God develops us over time before fully revealing the bigger picture.We talk about Abraham, John the Baptist, Joseph, the parable of the talents, and what it means to truly step out in faith even when we cannot see the full path ahead.Shannon opens up about his own journey of learning to trust God in business, overcoming fear, and realizing that “safe” was never the calling.Kenny shares personal thoughts about Nashville, speaking, stewardship, and learning to trust God’s timing while continuing to actively work, grow, and prepare for what’s ahead.This episode is a reminder that calling is not just about ministry or platforms. It’s about surrender. It’s about stewardship. And it’s about faithfully taking the next step God places in front of us.Scriptures referenced:Matthew 28:19–20Matthew 26:39Matthew 25:14–30John 15:5Psalm 119:105Hebrews 11:1Matthew 14:22–33Matthew 7:13–14Matthew 11:28–30Matthew 6:331 Corinthians 3:9Romans 8:28We just launched The Rock, our new community where we’re building together and going deeper beyond the podcast.As mentioned in the episode, if you want to be part of it, you can join here: Join The RockTHEME SONG BY: Joe Wolfe
