In this podcast episode of "Flipping Hell," hosts Steve Cohen and Preston discuss the challenges of finding purpose and direction in life. Preston shares a personal story about leaving a fulfilling job as a pastor to pursue a new calling, only to find himself struggling in survival mode with financial stress. He describes the impact this had on his mental health and the breakthrough moment when a mentor asked him to clarify his end goal. This conversation led Preston to develop a clear, long-term vision for his life, which brought unity to his marriage and renewed his sense of purpose.

The hosts emphasize the importance of having a clear vision and purpose, comparing it to driving a car with forward vision versus looking backward. They discuss how many people focus on what they don't want rather than what they do, leading to a lack of direction. They encourage listeners to write down what they want, gain clarity on their goals, and ask themselves what might get in the way of achieving those goals, often finding that the biggest obstacle is themselves.

The episode also touches on the role of faith in this process, with discussions about seeking God's guidance for both the present and the future. They conclude by encouraging listeners to take actionable steps toward developing and pursuing their vision, emphasizing that having a clear purpose makes even mundane tasks meaningful.
