Being called by God doesn’t mean you’re immune to criticism—it might actually attract more of

it. 😅 In this episode, we’re unpacking the reality of leading while being judged, walking in

purpose while being picked apart, and standing tall when you’re being misunderstood.

From church folks to family members, critics will come. But this episode reminds you that

opposition is often confirmation, and criticism can’t cancel your calling. You’ll walk away with

encouragement to:

●

Stay grounded when the noise gets loud

●

Discern between helpful feedback and harmful voices●

Keep going when you’re tempted to quit

Because if Jesus was criticized, you better believe you will be too. But that didn’t stop Him—and

it won’t stop you either.

God is never late… but He sure does take His time. ⏳ In this episode, we’re getting real about

the frustration, waiting, and wondering that comes when God’s timeline doesn’t match yours.

Whether you’re waiting on a breakthrough, a promise, or just some clarity, this episode will help

you navigate the emotional and spiritual tension of divine delays. We’ll talk about what to do

when doors stay closed, how to keep your faith alive in the waiting room, and why delays don’t

mean denial.

Because sometimes, the wait isn’t punishment—it’s preparation.

And yes—God’s timing will test you… but it will also grow you.

Ministry can be one of the most fulfilling callings—but also one of the loneliest. In this episode,

we dive into the often-unspoken reality of ministry loneliness—the weight of leadership, the

isolation of spiritual responsibility, and the quiet moments where you wonder,

“Does anyone

really get this?”

Whether you’re pastoring a church, leading a team, or just trying to stay faithful to your calling,

this episode offers honest encouragement, biblical perspective, and practical steps to endure

the silent seasons and remind you: You may feel alone, but you’re never abandoned.

If you’ve ever led with a full heart and an empty inbox… this one’s for you.

What happens when your calling comes with a shadow? In Episode 3, we dive into the internal battle of living up to expectations — family, ministry, culture — and how to embrace the future God has for you without being trapped by the past. Legacy is powerful, but identity in Christ is greater.

Too young? Not enough experience? In this episode, Jacob shares what it’s like to step into

leadership in your 20s — and how God doesn’t wait for man’s approval to start His purpose.

Whether you’re young in age or young in calling, this episode will help you overcome insecurity,

silence the critics, and stand firm in your assignment.

Being called by God isn’t just exciting — it’s heavy. In this debut episode, Pastor Jacob Lindsey

unpacks the weight that comes with the yes to God’s call. From spiritual warfare to leadership

pressure, this is a raw look at the hidden side of calling. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by what

you once prayed for, this episode is for you.
