| 6/23/26 | ![]() How God Uses Suffering to Shape Your Identity, Purpose, and Calling | The Law of Pain | Are you feeling stuck, struggling to understand God's purpose, or wondering why you're walking through a painful season?In this episode of The Pursuit of Calling, we explore how God uses suffering, adversity, and difficult seasons to shape your identity, reveal your calling, and develop spiritual growth.Many Christian men feel stuck because they can't see what God is doing in the middle of their struggle. But pain has a way of exposing what needs to change, strengthening character, and preparing you for the purpose God has placed on your life.I also share a personal story from my own journey—including chronic pain and a recent business setback that almost kept me from recording this episode.If you're walking through uncertainty, frustration, disappointment, or a season that feels slow, this conversation will help you see your circumstances through a different lens.In this episode:• Why pain introduces you to yourself• Why most people never grow from difficult seasons• How suffering reveals identity shifts you didn't expect• The difference between pain that destroys and pain that develops• What John Maxwell teaches about growth through adversity• How God uses struggle to shape calling and character• My personal experience with chronic pain and business pressureKey Truth:Pain is not always punishment. Sometimes it is formation.Reflection Questions:• What is this season revealing about me?• What pain am I currently trying to avoid?• What might God be teaching me through this?👉 Join the Pursuer Circle (group coaching for Christian men in transition): https://circle.pursuitofcalling.comIf this episode resonates with you, share it with another man who feels stuck right now.Follow the podcast and leave a review if this episode helped you grow. | 12m 55s | ||||||
| 6/16/26 | ![]() The Law of Reflection: How Pausing Unlocks Growth, Clarity, and Calling | Most men feel like they’re doing everything right but still feel stuck. In this episode, I share how the simple practice of reflection transformed my life. I was grinding—building a career, battling chronic pain, and trying to grow my faith—but I kept moving without processing. Today, I unpack the Law of Reflection from John Maxwell's teachings. You’ll learn how a simple journaling habit and intentional pauses helped me break cycles of burnout and distraction.💼 If you’re in a season of transition and need clarity, join the Pursuers Circle for personal growth and accountability: circle.pursuitofcalling.com. | 14m 48s | ||||||
