WEBVTT 00:00:08.619 --> 00:00:11.519 What's going on, Pursuers? Welcome to The Pursuit 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.740 of Calling, the podcast that provides you with 00:00:14.740 --> 00:00:17.660 the strategies and tools needed to successfully 00:00:17.660 --> 00:00:21.160 discover and pursue your calling. Whether it's 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:23.620 through inspiring stories, thought -provoking 00:00:23.620 --> 00:00:26.539 interviews, or quick, insightful episodes on 00:00:26.539 --> 00:00:28.960 personal growth and development, we've got you 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.759 covered. I'm your host, Thomas Carney. Enjoy 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:40.719 the episode. How's it going, everyone? Thank 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:42.359 you for joining me on this episode of the Pursuit 00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.700 of Calling podcast. And first, I want to start 00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:47.439 off by saying, ignore my cowlick. If you're watching 00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.039 this on YouTube, it's not even in my notes. Why 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.899 would it be in my notes? Ignore my cowlick. Now 00:00:53.899 --> 00:00:55.100 you're not going to be able to, but whatever. 00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:58.320 Let's get into the episode. I want to start off 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.600 by saying, I know my pain in my story is not 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.099 the same as everybody else's. Some people experience 00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:06.359 more pain. I'm talking about physical pain and 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:09.170 some people experience less pain. And it happens 00:01:09.170 --> 00:01:12.530 in many different ways. My goal is not to discount 00:01:12.530 --> 00:01:15.450 other people's experiences, but it's to give 00:01:15.450 --> 00:01:20.409 a new avenue of growth. And I want to be able 00:01:20.409 --> 00:01:23.430 to talk about what we can do not to ignore our 00:01:23.430 --> 00:01:26.629 pain, but to live with it intentionally. Because 00:01:26.629 --> 00:01:29.709 for a lot of us, our pain is part of our reality 00:01:29.709 --> 00:01:32.329 and we have to live with it intentionally if 00:01:32.329 --> 00:01:36.879 we want to pursue our callings well. So in this 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.980 episode, there's two main points I'm going to 00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:42.040 cover. First point is your calling isn't determined 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.640 by your circumstances. You kind of understand 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.640 maybe where I'm going to go with that. And that 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.920 second point is your calling exists to benefit 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:55.640 others. So let's dive into that part one. Your 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.540 calling isn't determined by your circumstances. 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.379 This podcast itself is structured to help those 00:02:02.379 --> 00:02:04.879 in chronic pain and suffering with other chronic 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.540 conditions discover their calling and live in 00:02:07.540 --> 00:02:10.020 it well, despite the cards they've been dealt 00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:11.800 or what other people believe they're able to 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.340 achieve. This pain that you may be experiencing 00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:19.460 doesn't define what you're capable of. Yeah, 00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:21.639 you might be limited physically, but you're not 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.219 limited spiritually. You might be limited physically, 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:30.289 but you're not limited mentally. My pain doesn't, 00:02:30.289 --> 00:02:32.729 personally, my pain doesn't affect the drive 00:02:32.729 --> 00:02:35.770 that I have to achieve my goals. At least not 00:02:35.770 --> 00:02:39.430 anymore. It used to. But in order to achieve 00:02:39.430 --> 00:02:41.789 these goals, I have, and in order for you to 00:02:41.789 --> 00:02:44.090 achieve the goals that you have, we have to be 00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:47.210 intentional with the time and the capacity that 00:02:47.210 --> 00:02:50.490 we do have. Because we, let's be real, we have 00:02:50.490 --> 00:02:53.629 less capacity than other people have. Personally, 00:02:53.770 --> 00:02:56.590 I'm blessed because I don't experience consistent 00:02:56.590 --> 00:03:00.849 pain. My pain kind of goes, ebbs and flows. Sometimes 00:03:00.849 --> 00:03:04.870 the waves of pain are higher and I get distracted. 00:03:05.650 --> 00:03:12.650 But I have, I'm not talking about this yet, but 00:03:12.650 --> 00:03:16.909 I have my foundation in Christ. I'm able to look 00:03:16.909 --> 00:03:20.289 at Christ in the waves and the storm and be able 00:03:20.289 --> 00:03:21.810 to grab his hand and he can bring me back to 00:03:21.810 --> 00:03:23.650 the boat so I can continue going where he wants 00:03:23.650 --> 00:03:28.389 me to go. my let's go back to my coaching my 00:03:28.389 --> 00:03:32.530 coaching is first to help you get over the hurdle 00:03:32.530 --> 00:03:35.569 of thinking that your pain defines your calling 00:03:35.569 --> 00:03:39.830 that it limits your purpose and then we can get 00:03:39.830 --> 00:03:43.210 into personal creating a personalized actionable 00:03:43.210 --> 00:03:46.430 list of activities and action steps you can take 00:03:46.430 --> 00:03:51.069 each week to live in your calling well to pursue 00:03:51.069 --> 00:03:53.629 your calling well and achieve the things that 00:03:53.629 --> 00:03:56.400 maybe you personally Currently, don't believe 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.860 that you can, but I do. I believe that you can 00:03:58.860 --> 00:04:03.979 do it because I know people that have. People 00:04:03.979 --> 00:04:06.939 in pain, people with, like, I talked about Rob 00:04:06.939 --> 00:04:09.080 Oliver on this podcast before, who is a quadriplegic. 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:13.560 If he can do it, we can do it. And he's a public 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:18.439 speaker. Because what you learn to do, what you 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:22.759 learn to achieve, what you learn that your calling 00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:24.750 doesn't... isn't defined by your circumstances, 00:04:25.029 --> 00:04:27.470 once you learn how to create actionable steps 00:04:27.470 --> 00:04:30.089 that are personalized to you so you can actually, 00:04:30.149 --> 00:04:31.910 so they're realistic and you're not going off 00:04:31.910 --> 00:04:35.089 of somebody else's playbook, then you can achieve 00:04:35.089 --> 00:04:38.170 anything that you set your mind to. Anything 00:04:38.170 --> 00:04:40.730 is possible again. Like me, anything is possible 00:04:40.730 --> 00:04:43.589 just like it was possible before I had my condition. 00:04:44.889 --> 00:04:48.189 Your pain doesn't define your calling. God does. 00:04:49.740 --> 00:04:52.379 God doesn't care about, I shouldn't say God doesn't 00:04:52.379 --> 00:04:55.019 care about your circumstances, but he doesn't 00:04:55.019 --> 00:05:03.180 limit your calling based on your pain. He doesn't 00:05:03.180 --> 00:05:06.339 limit your calling based on your circumstances. 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:10.180 In fact, what we talked about in previous podcast 00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:13.000 episodes, it actually can amplify your calling. 00:05:13.100 --> 00:05:16.910 It actually can give you fuel for the fire. It's 00:05:16.910 --> 00:05:19.949 my pain that has actually given me what I believe 00:05:19.949 --> 00:05:22.250 is a purpose to talk to you, other people in 00:05:22.250 --> 00:05:24.009 chronic pain, and help you achieve the goals 00:05:24.009 --> 00:05:29.069 that God has put on your life. Now, point two, 00:05:29.629 --> 00:05:33.069 your calling is to benefit others. And like the 00:05:33.069 --> 00:05:35.470 title, it says your calling isn't for you. Your 00:05:35.470 --> 00:05:41.970 calling exists to benefit other people. If you 00:05:41.970 --> 00:05:43.689 believe you know your calling, I want to challenge 00:05:43.689 --> 00:05:46.879 that a little bit. I want to put you to that, 00:05:46.899 --> 00:05:51.779 that, that calling to the test. If someone asked 00:05:51.779 --> 00:05:56.279 you, what is your calling? What would you say? 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.500 If what you just thought of or what you just 00:06:00.500 --> 00:06:05.160 said, did it include other people that I would 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.680 say, I would challenge you and say, you haven't 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.220 discovered your calling yet, or maybe you just 00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:13.660 haven't defined it well enough. And I've gotten 00:06:13.660 --> 00:06:18.040 into other podcast episodes about why it's important 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.379 to define your calling, why it's important to 00:06:20.379 --> 00:06:25.579 know what you're pursuing. But that's not for 00:06:25.579 --> 00:06:27.480 this episode. I just wanted to make sure you 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.600 can go back and find the episode for that. I 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.019 can't remember off the top of my head, but I 00:06:31.019 --> 00:06:36.819 know it's there. But again, I want to say we 00:06:36.819 --> 00:06:40.620 exist on this earth to benefit and serve other 00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:44.939 people. I know I'm rehashing that again and again 00:06:44.939 --> 00:06:48.240 and again, but that is why we are here. We are 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.379 not here for ourselves. If we were, that would 00:06:50.379 --> 00:06:58.420 be a meaningless life. When defining your calling, 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.160 make sure to include others in it. For me, my 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.279 personal calling, but I believe how I define 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.420 it at least, is providing others the tools needed 00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:11.199 to successfully discover and pursue their God 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:19.250 -given Now, if you notice, that's not limited 00:07:19.250 --> 00:07:22.670 to people in chronic pain. I don't limit myself 00:07:22.670 --> 00:07:29.370 because my God doesn't limit my calling. He directs 00:07:29.370 --> 00:07:34.810 it and he perfects it. I want you to write that 00:07:34.810 --> 00:07:37.949 down. God does not limit my calling. He directs 00:07:37.949 --> 00:07:41.509 it and he perfects it for my good and his glory. 00:07:43.180 --> 00:07:46.800 regardless of her circumstances. So I said my 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.079 calling is to provide others with the tools needed 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:51.220 to successfully discover and pursue their God 00:07:51.220 --> 00:07:53.399 -given calling. It's because I want to be able 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:55.899 to keep learning, keep growing, hold myself to 00:07:55.899 --> 00:07:58.959 a higher standard than I hold anybody else to. 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.180 So then whenever I see some of my friends falling 00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:02.699 short, whenever I see that they're achieving 00:08:02.699 --> 00:08:04.459 a goal that they want to achieve and they're 00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:15.370 maybe putting themselves down, And thinking that 00:08:15.370 --> 00:08:18.870 they're not capable of doing the things that 00:08:18.870 --> 00:08:22.529 I know they are, I call them out on that. I say, 00:08:22.629 --> 00:08:25.509 what is that doing for you to say that maybe 00:08:25.509 --> 00:08:29.850 I'll do this one day? You know that's what you 00:08:29.850 --> 00:08:32.590 want to do, right? They say yes. And I say, okay, 00:08:32.730 --> 00:08:35.129 well then do it. When are you going to do that 00:08:35.129 --> 00:08:36.750 thing or what do you have to do in order to accomplish 00:08:36.750 --> 00:08:43.960 that goal? That's coaching. And these tools in 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:45.700 my arsenal that I have, it's because I've been 00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:50.720 pursuing what I believe God has been calling 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:55.000 me to do. And that's the point of this episode, 00:08:55.059 --> 00:08:56.799 is to give you the feel for the fire, give you 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.059 the mindset, give you the tools to pursue. And 00:09:01.059 --> 00:09:02.460 there's going to be some action steps after this. 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.820 Don't worry. This is not just me telling you 00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:08.399 what to do. I'm telling me. how good it is to 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:09.940 do what I'm saying, but I'm also going to give 00:09:09.940 --> 00:09:11.559 you some actionable steps to hope you discover 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:18.820 how to do it. Before we get to that, when you 00:09:18.820 --> 00:09:24.340 see your life through the lens of your calling, 00:09:24.500 --> 00:09:27.240 that means you need to continuously, like I was 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.500 just talking about, educate yourself on what 00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:32.159 it means to live in your calling well. And what 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.799 do I mean by that? I mean, it means that you 00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:37.960 ask yourself this question. How do I continue 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.720 to know the best tools out there for pursuing 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.379 my calling? For me, how do I become the best 00:09:46.379 --> 00:09:50.840 coach I can possibly be? So not just to coach 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.159 my clients, but to be able to provide my friends 00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:55.919 and family members with value. The people on 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:57.480 the street that I have a random conversation 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:01.179 with, acquaintances, other groups I'm a part 00:10:01.179 --> 00:10:05.960 of. How do I provide them value? through the 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.419 calling I believe God has put on my life. Your 00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:11.100 calling goes with you everywhere and you're never 00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:14.100 going to be able to retire from this. So you 00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:19.399 might as well learn to do it well. So how do 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:21.679 you do this? You ask yourself that question, 00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.700 how do I do this? How do I get these tools and 00:10:24.700 --> 00:10:28.200 resources? How do I get the mindset and the strategies 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.379 to pursue my calling well? You surround yourself 00:10:30.379 --> 00:10:34.330 with others aiming to do the same thing. And 00:10:34.330 --> 00:10:36.789 these people are aiming for growth in their life. 00:10:37.230 --> 00:10:39.870 They're aiming to, they have goals and they want 00:10:39.870 --> 00:10:41.570 to achieve their goals and they're pushing themselves 00:10:41.570 --> 00:10:44.830 to achieve their goals. These people are going 00:10:44.830 --> 00:10:47.549 to also, if you get close to them, this being 00:10:47.549 --> 00:10:49.769 around these people will push you higher, but 00:10:49.769 --> 00:10:51.590 they themselves will push you higher as well. 00:10:52.529 --> 00:10:55.070 They will call you higher. They will call you 00:10:55.070 --> 00:10:57.269 from where you might think you, from what you 00:10:57.269 --> 00:11:02.049 might think you're capable of and call you to 00:11:02.049 --> 00:11:05.700 a higher standard. If you don't want to be called 00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:07.539 to a higher standard, I don't know what you're 00:11:07.539 --> 00:11:13.100 doing. And next, I want you to find mentors in 00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:15.639 your life. These are people who know more than 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:17.700 you do because we ought to be humble in this 00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:20.759 life in order to grow. These are people in your 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:23.039 life who you can go and you can ask questions 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:24.799 to whenever you have questions. Maybe this is 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.240 spiritually, mentally. Maybe this is. How do 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:29.879 I deal with this pain? How do you find a mentor 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.259 that can help you through the pain that you're 00:11:32.259 --> 00:11:34.080 experiencing? Somebody else that has experienced 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:37.480 this pain. You find somebody who experienced 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.480 similar pain. I found Rob Oliver, who's a quadriplegic, 00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:44.120 which isn't the same thing as having muscular 00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:47.720 dystonia. He told me as much, obviously. But 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:55.360 he's lived a life. He has lived a life as a chronically 00:11:55.360 --> 00:12:01.250 disabled person. And we have had long, hour -long 00:12:01.250 --> 00:12:04.429 conversations about what it means to live a life 00:12:04.429 --> 00:12:07.210 not able to do things that other people can do. 00:12:07.789 --> 00:12:11.570 And I'm talking to somebody that knows what I'm 00:12:11.570 --> 00:12:17.230 going through now. Maybe not to the exact letter, 00:12:18.190 --> 00:12:26.340 but he's able to understand it. And that's what 00:12:26.340 --> 00:12:29.159 I want for you. I want to be able to, if you 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.360 want to talk to me, I mean, I'm saying I already 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:33.460 told you in the beginning of the episode, there 00:12:33.460 --> 00:12:35.820 is a free discovery call. Maybe I didn't tell 00:12:35.820 --> 00:12:38.179 you that. I apologize. I should have. I do offer 00:12:38.179 --> 00:12:40.940 a free discovery call for you to get on my calendar. 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.740 And we can talk about helping you discover your 00:12:44.740 --> 00:12:47.879 calling well, despite your circumstances. Personally, 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.360 I believe whenever you understand that your calling 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.389 isn't for you, that you start to get. more motivated 00:12:54.389 --> 00:12:57.049 to actually pursue your calling well. Because 00:12:57.049 --> 00:12:59.830 when your calling becomes more than how do I 00:12:59.830 --> 00:13:05.230 live my life better? How do I make my life better? 00:13:05.350 --> 00:13:08.309 How do I do certain things? How do I achieve 00:13:08.309 --> 00:13:11.409 goals in order to make my life more fruitful 00:13:11.409 --> 00:13:14.789 for me? And it becomes how do I benefit other 00:13:14.789 --> 00:13:18.129 people's lives? That I think your life, I know, 00:13:18.250 --> 00:13:20.190 I'm going to stop saying I think, I know your 00:13:20.190 --> 00:13:23.570 life becomes much more meaningful. and impactful. 00:13:26.149 --> 00:13:28.289 I think people in chronic pain in these conditions 00:13:28.289 --> 00:13:30.049 don't believe you can have impact in other people's 00:13:30.049 --> 00:13:34.450 lives, and that's a lie. If you can show others 00:13:34.450 --> 00:13:36.590 that despite your circumstances, despite your 00:13:36.590 --> 00:13:40.090 pain, that you can pursue what God is calling 00:13:40.090 --> 00:13:43.590 you for, that's going to call so many other people 00:13:43.590 --> 00:13:45.769 higher, and that God is calling you to do so 00:13:45.769 --> 00:13:47.269 much more than what you think you're capable 00:13:47.269 --> 00:13:52.620 of. Okay. So let's get this episode wrapped up. 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:57.879 I'm going to give you three action steps for 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.940 you to do this week. Three things. First one, 00:14:01.019 --> 00:14:04.980 it's called a calling list. Instead of focusing 00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:08.299 on what pain removes in your life, make a shift 00:14:08.299 --> 00:14:11.960 to what is still possible. I want you to write 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:15.139 down at least five things that you can do despite 00:14:15.139 --> 00:14:19.039 your pain. Maybe this is pray for others. Encourage 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:23.480 somebody. Write for five minutes about, write 00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:27.899 for five minutes about what, write for five minutes 00:14:27.899 --> 00:14:29.179 about the things that are possible, but you can 00:14:29.179 --> 00:14:30.480 also write for five minutes the things that you 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.840 can do to pursue your calling well. Brainstorm 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.779 these ideas for five to 10 minutes. Record a 00:14:36.779 --> 00:14:38.659 30 second, maybe you're like me and sometimes 00:14:38.659 --> 00:14:40.820 writing is hard because writing is hard for me 00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:45.600 to do. record a 30 second audio note or record 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.340 a five minute audio note. It's if you can't write 00:14:48.340 --> 00:14:51.559 about what you can do, what can you still do? 00:14:51.659 --> 00:14:53.480 And then if you're, then if you're using chat 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.200 to BT, I love chat to BT, you can record the 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.600 30 minute, a 30 minute, maybe you can record 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.340 that five to 10 minute audio message and then 00:15:01.340 --> 00:15:04.860 give it to chat to BT and it will summarize it 00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:08.519 for you. Like this stuff exists now. The technology 00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:12.639 exists to make our lives so much easier. Like 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:14.559 we don't really have an excuse anymore. And I 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:16.220 said in the beginning episode, I don't want to 00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:19.179 discount anybody's pain. I know there's people 00:15:19.179 --> 00:15:20.600 out there that experience way more pain than 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:22.259 I do. And I feel for you and I pray for you. 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:27.360 And I can't speak for you and into your situation, 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:33.519 but my God knows you. My God knows your pain. 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:37.629 He knows what it's like to suffer. Because he 00:15:37.629 --> 00:15:40.389 gave his life for you and died on the cross. 00:15:41.149 --> 00:15:44.669 God gave his one and only son. Not so, I forget. 00:15:44.850 --> 00:15:47.370 I can't remember John 3, verse 16 in my head 00:15:47.370 --> 00:15:49.450 right now. But you know what I'm trying to say? 00:15:50.210 --> 00:15:52.889 God died for you. He suffered. And we get to 00:15:52.889 --> 00:15:58.149 suffer for his sake in this life. That was a 00:15:58.149 --> 00:16:00.809 whole tangent. I apologize. But we get to suffer 00:16:00.809 --> 00:16:06.730 for his sake. Man, I really hope you don't feel 00:16:06.730 --> 00:16:08.370 like I'm discounting your condition right now, 00:16:08.389 --> 00:16:13.490 but know that God sees you and God loves you. 00:16:14.870 --> 00:16:18.169 Now, the second action step is identify the limiting 00:16:18.169 --> 00:16:20.769 belief that's stopping you. Now, I know maybe 00:16:20.769 --> 00:16:22.769 there's more than one, but get to the big one, 00:16:22.830 --> 00:16:25.309 the one that maybe pops in your head first. What 00:16:25.309 --> 00:16:27.169 is that one belief about your pain that keeps 00:16:27.169 --> 00:16:29.429 you from stepping into your calling and pursuing 00:16:29.429 --> 00:16:34.019 it well? Now, then I want you to replace that 00:16:34.019 --> 00:16:37.620 with biblical truth. Personally, mine was my 00:16:37.620 --> 00:16:42.600 pain limits my purpose. My pain, I'm actually 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.240 not able to do what other people can do, which 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:47.299 means I just can't do that, which means I must 00:16:47.299 --> 00:16:49.139 not be able to do that much. My pain defines 00:16:49.139 --> 00:16:53.639 this is this. My pain is now my purpose. And 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:56.440 replacing that with biblical truth is God's power 00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:03.279 is made perfect in my weakness. Just rest in 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:09.000 that. What is one belief pattern, one belief 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.259 that you're having that is stopping you from 00:17:11.259 --> 00:17:13.880 pursuing your calling well? Write that down or 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:17.400 audio message it. Audio message or a dictation, 00:17:17.500 --> 00:17:20.039 whatever works well for you. And now finally, 00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:24.099 pray. Pray this. It's just one sentence. It's 00:17:24.099 --> 00:17:27.599 just one sentence of a prayer. God, show me one 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:31.299 way I can serve someone else through my calling. 00:17:31.690 --> 00:17:38.029 today. That's it. Pray that every day. God, show 00:17:38.029 --> 00:17:41.089 me one way I can serve someone through my calling 00:17:41.089 --> 00:17:45.869 today to give you glory and to build the kingdom. 00:17:47.410 --> 00:17:51.529 Amen.
