In Between Sundays

Purpose vs.Calling | what Most Christians Get Wrong


Listen Later

Finding your purpose can feel overwhelming — and for many Christians, it’s easy to confuse your calling with your career. In this episode of In Between Sundays, we unpack what it really means to discover your God-given purpose… and how it’s often revealed over time, not in one big “burning bush” moment.


Tony and Maggie share their personal journeys of figuring out purpose, the tension between success and significance, and why your job isn’t always your calling. They’ll walk you through three key questions to help you uncover your unique role in God’s kingdom — and how to start living it out right where you are.


We also talk about:


👉 The difference between your universal purpose and your specific calling

👉 Why waiting for a “stamp of approval” can hold you back

👉 How your gifts, passions, and the world’s needs intersect

👉 Practical steps to test-drive ministry opportunities


Whether you’re just starting to explore your purpose or you’re ready to take the next step, this conversation will encourage you to stop waiting and start walking in the life God designed for you.
