Are you feeling lost in a difficult season, wondering why you have to go through such dark valleys, and struggling to find your purpose when life feels incredibly hard?

Thomas Carney, host of the Pursuit of Calling podcast, knows exactly how that feels. After receiving a progressive diagnosis of muscular dystonia that caused painful muscle contractions, Thomas lost his physical independence, had to give up his passion for working out, and faced a massive identity shift. But instead of letting this painful season defeat him, he used the clarity of his diagnosis to lean into his faith.

Thomas discovered that your circumstances do not define your calling. In fact, your calling isn't even for you—it is a tool meant to serve the people around you. In this conversation, Thomas provides a practical roadmap for anyone looking to navigate uncertainty. He shares how to grow intentionally, the specific questions you need to ask to uncover your hidden gifts, and why we must actively "speak the gold out" in others.

If you are ready to stop chasing success and start living out your God-given calling, press play to get the tools you need to move from pain to purpose.

Key Takeaways from this Episode:

• Purpose in the Pain: How receiving a chronic diagnosis actually gave Thomas the clarity to focus on personal growth and helping others.
• Your Calling Is Not For You: Discover why your true purpose goes with you everywhere you go and is ultimately meant to serve those around you.
• The Law of Intentionality: Why finding your purpose doesn't happen by accident and requires daily, intentional choices like reading, getting into the Word, and seeking mentorship.
• How to Find Your Gifts: The exact questions to ask yourself (and your closest friends) to uncover the natural talents you might be brushing off as simply being "easy".
• Speak the Gold Out: The vital importance of actively pointing out and validating the unique gifts you see in the people around you.
