🎙️ Episode: What Makes You Come Alive?

Scripture: Romans 15:17–20 Podcast: The Rob Skinner Podcast

📌 Episode Summary

In this episode, Rob Skinner explores what it means to come alive in the calling God has placed on your life. Too many people ask, "What does the world need from me?" when the better question is, "What has God ignited inside me?"

Drawing inspiration from John Eldredge's famous quote and the passion-filled ministry of the apostle Paul, Rob challenges listeners to identify and pursue their God-given ambition—not for comfort, not for approval, but for purpose.

If you're feeling stuck, hesitant, or unsure of your next step, this episode will help you listen to the Spirit's prompting and step boldly into the calling God has prepared for you.

💡 Key Quote

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." — John Eldredge, Wild at Heart

🧭 Application / Challenge

This week, ask yourself:

• What has God placed in my heart that I've been ignoring?

• What makes me come alive spiritually, creatively, or missionally?

• What step of faith can I take—today—to pursue my calling?

Give yourself permission to follow the Holy Spirit's prompting, even if the path isn't perfect or fully clear. God brings life to those who obey His call.
