Not every open door is from God. Not every opportunity is your assignment. And sometimes, what we call “waiting on God” is really us avoiding the responsibility to move.

In this episode of Call a Spade a Spade, Kam sits down with Eric and Elmo Stephen Jr. for an honest conversation about access, assignment, and discernment—and what it really looks like to follow God's direction when opportunity, ambition, and faith collide.

How do you know when God is telling you to move? How do you recognize when an opportunity is actually a distraction? And at what point does “I'm waiting on God” become an excuse for fear, hesitation, or a lack of preparation?

Through personal experiences, biblical truth, and real conversation, the panel explores the importance of prayer, wise counsel, spiritual discipline, and learning to recognize God's direction above the pressure and expectations of the world.

Because having access doesn't always mean you have an assignment.

And waiting on God was never meant to become an excuse for standing still.

Sometimes the question isn't whether the door is open.

It's whether God told you to walk through it.

Tune in to Call a Spade a Spade as we challenge ourselves to stop chasing every opportunity and start discerning the assignment.

What does it really mean to be "one of them ones"?

Culture tells us it's about influence, recognition, and standing above the crowd. But what if God defines it completely differently?

In this episode of Call a Spade a Spade, Kam challenges the idea that only the famous, gifted, or outspoken are called to make an impact. Through biblical truth, personal experiences, and honest reflection, he explores what it means to embrace the unique assignment God has placed on your life—and why being "one of them ones" has nothing to do with popularity and everything to do with obedience.

This conversation is an invitation to stop comparing, stop doubting, and start walking confidently in the purpose God has already given you.

Because the question isn't whether you're called.

The question is: Will you answer?
