Turning Pain into Power Through Mentorship, Faith, and Divine Action

In this conversation, I sit down with Zachary T. Melton to explore the intersection of faith, mentorship, and purpose. From his transition out of corporate sales to a mission-driven life in the nonprofit world, Zach shares how mentorship has shaped his journey and how authentic connections can transform both personal and professional paths.

We dig into stories that inspire—like the powerful redemption of Mark Whitaker—and tackle topics like the moral implications of economic decisions, the role of faith in fundraising, and the dignity found in every kind of work. Together, we unpack how embracing surrender, curiosity, and even suffering can lead to a life of deeper meaning.

This is an invitation to reflect on what it truly costs to pursue your calling—and why it’s worth every step.
