How to Discover Your Calling (Even If You Feel Stuck Right Now) w/ Meghan Nelson


Listen Later

Meg is back on the mic—and it’s a reunion you don’t want to miss. In this heartfelt and laughter-filled episode, Rebecca and Meg dive deep into the messy, beautiful reality of pursuing your God-given purpose. 


From backstage prayer circles to late-night Facetimes and preschool classrooms turned mission fields, Meg’s journey hasn’t been perfect—but it’s a reflection of what it really looks like to follow God through shifting seasons, unseen detours, and the tension between personal dreams and divine direction.


Together, they unpack the emotional weight of waiting, the pressure to “figure it all out” by 30, and why discernment often starts with simple, quiet obedience. If you've ever questioned your purpose, felt stuck in transition, or wrestled with the “shoulds” of adulthood and faith—this one’s for you.


🛠️ In This Episode We Talk About:

  • Why your calling may not look like a straight line—and why that’s okay
  • How to stay faithful in the "in-between" seasons of life
  • The spiritual importance of waiting, resting, and letting go of hustle culture
  • Meg’s story of balancing big dreams (like acting) with her current calling in education
  • How to discern between God’s will and your own timeline
  • What real friendship and community look like in seasons of disappointment
  • The role of spiritual rhythms (like prayer walks and journaling) in staying grounded
  • How to pray through doubt and choose obedience over clarity
  • What it means to “grow into your calling” instead of forcing it

  • 🧡 Listener Takeaways:

    • You’re not behind—God’s timing is never wasted
    • Your purpose doesn’t expire when life gets hard
    • Discernment often happens best in community, not isolation
    • Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is rest

    🙏 Challenge of the Week:

    Meg invites listeners to practice gratitude in the midst of waiting, and reflect on how God might be shaping you right where you are.

    Rebecca encourages you to find your own “Meg”—a friend, mentor, or spiritual companion to walk with you through your season of discernment. Don’t do it alone.
