This week, I got to sit down with my friend Tauren Wells. Not only does he have a voice that can fill stadiums, but it’s his heart that really moves people. We talked about calling, the cost of obedience, and what it looks like to trust God when the plan doesn’t make sense. Tauren emphasized that joy and happiness are intertwined and that God desires for us to experience joy in our lives. He’s living proof that you can chase your dreams and stay grounded in your purpose. Pull up a chair and join us, because you’re going to enjoy this one.
