If you’re feeling exhausted, stuck, or drained in your current job, this episode will speak straight to your heart.
Today, we sat down with Bobby – a husband, father, and 20+ year corporate professional who believed he just needed to “hold on 10 more years” before making a change. But when burnout, pressure, and calling collided… God began opening a path he never expected.
Through career coaching, prayer, and community, Bobby learned:
- Why feeling drained doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful
- How God debunks the lies that keep us stuck
- What it looks like to dream with God again
- How to make a career transition wisely when you have a family
- The surprising way God revived a buried dream of entrepreneurship
If you’re wrestling with fear, responsibility, or uncertainty about leaving a draining job, Bobby’s story will help you see what’s possible when you invite God into your career decisions.
Cheering you on,
Kelsey Kemp & Audrey Bagarus
