In this episode, Ryan James Miller helps high-performing, faith-driven men rediscover purpose when success no longer satisfies. He unpacks the tension between achievement and assignment, revealing why so many driven men feel exhausted and unfulfilled despite checking every box.

Ryan shares powerful insights from his own story—how even after reaching career milestones, he felt a deep sense of misalignment that only realigned when he surrendered his path back to God. He reminds us that the issue isn’t our drive, it’s our direction.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Why productivity without peace is a warning sign that you’ve drifted from your calling.
• The difference between being applauded publicly and anxious privately.
• How confusing motion with meaning keeps men from true fulfillment.
• Biblical truths like Ephesians 2:10 and Matthew 16:26 that redefine success through obedience, not outcomes.
• The three reflection questions that reset your compass: What am I building? Why am I building it? Who am I becoming in the process?

Main Takeaways:

• You don’t need to rebuild the boat—just reset the compass.
• True greatness isn’t about what you achieve, it’s about who you’re becoming.
• God doesn’t resist your plans; sometimes He rescues you from them.
• Real alignment comes when you stop chasing worldly recognition and start walking in your God-Aligned Purpose.
