Welcome back to The Called Young Podcast. I’m your founder and host, Love Carter, and this space is built for the young and fearless leaders who know they’re called to serve a greater purpose now, not later.

In today’s episode, I’m taking you into a genuine one-on-one moment to check the posture of my own heart. We are talking patience, the quiet frustration that comes with being still, and the process that often feels longer than we planned. Philippians 1:25 reminds us to stay present in the step we’re in, trusting that we are placed there for a reason. No shortcuts. No jumping out of line.

We’re digging into preparation and why the in-between matters, including the discipleship lessons shaping me behind the scenes. We’re talking path and how each of our journeys looks different in detail but similar in design. And we’re talking pace. Who are you running from, and why does burnout feel so close when you rush what God has already timed perfectly?

This episode is a heart check. What does it really feel like to be called at a young age? It’s hard. It’s heavy. It tests you. It refines you. And it reminds you that it’s all about Him.

We move through the test, the testimony, and the courage to testify.
We ask the real question: What does being Called Young feel like this week? Heavy. Disqualifying. Covered in covenant.
And finally, a heat check on managing self-pity and finding purpose in the pressure.

If you’re navigating calling, leadership, purpose, or the weight of becoming, this conversation is for you. Let’s grow through it together.

We were never meant to walk this journey alone. In this episode, Called to One Body, we dive into what it truly means to live in unity as the body of Christ. God designed His church to move together—with different gifts, different callings, and different personalities—but one purpose. We are brothers and sisters, called to love deeply, forgive quickly, and work together to build His Kingdom.

How do we protect the heart of family when we’re not actually related? How do we choose grace when offense tries to divide us? These are the questions we wrestle with as we explore what it means to live in the fullness of community. From learning to forgive, to finding peace in disagreements, to celebrating our differences—this conversation invites you to reflect on your own role in the body of Christ.

If you’ve ever struggled with unity, comparison, or competition within the church, this message is for you. Together, we’ll talk about collaboration over competition, the beauty of diversity, and the power of choosing love when it’s hardest.

We are called to one body, one Spirit, and one hope. So, what will you do with your calling?

Tune in, listen with an open heart, and let’s walk this out—together.

What does it really mean to be part of the body of Christ? In this episode, Called to One Body, we’re diving deep into what unity looks like for young believers — because we’re not meant to do this walk alone!

We’ll unpack 1 Corinthians 12:13–20 and dig into how God designed every single one of us with unique gifts and a purpose that fits perfectly into His plan.

We’re getting real about:

You’re Called… But Are You Stewarding the Call?

Many believers are asking God for more—more opportunities, more clarity, more influence—but few are asking, "What am I doing with what I already have?"

In this video, we’re diving deep into what it means to truly steward the gifts, time, and resources God has already placed in your hands. This isn't just about money or talent—it's about your life, your relationships, your daily habits, and your mindset.

God doesn’t call us to wait around for the future. He calls us to be faithful in the present. You may have dreams of marriage, ministry, leadership, or business—but are you managing the season you’re in right now with excellence? You can’t expect to run a household if you won’t clean your room. You can’t expect to lead others if you’re not stewarding your own time, budget, or emotions.

We explore Matthew 25 and the parable of the talents as the anchor for this conversation. The scripture makes it clear: those who are faithful with little will be trusted with much. The reward is not just more—it’s responsibility, purpose, and joy in the Master’s presence.

In this episode, we cover:

    •    What stewardship really means in your daily life

    •    How to be faithful with small beginnings

    •    Practical steps to evaluate and elevate your stewardship

    •    The mindset shift from waiting on God to walking with God

    •    A real and honest testimony on learning to manage what’s already in your hands

    •    Why hiding your gifts is disobedience, not humility

    •    How to stop romanticizing the future and start showing up for your present

We are not just called—we are trusted. And stewardship is how we honor that trust.

So here’s the real question: Yes, you are called. But are you answering? Are you willing to manage what God has already given you, even if it doesn’t look like what you imagined?

It’s time to stop burying your talents and start building with what’s in your hands.

This is your moment to steward well. The future starts with faithfulness today.

The Danger of a Double-Minded Life | Why You Must Make Up Your Mind

In today’s message, we confront a quiet but powerful struggle many believers face: double-mindedness. Tobi always says, “There’s nothing more powerful than a mind made up.” But when your heart is divided and your thoughts are clouded by doubt, fear, and hesitation — your purpose, peace, and walk with God are all impacted.

Why is double-mindedness such a serious issue?
What’s really wrong with overthinking and wavering?
And how do you know when you’re truly standing in faith vs just being lukewarm?

We’ll unpack:

• The spiritual danger of being double-minded (James 1:5-8)

• The emotional and mental toll of overthinking

• How doubt can feel like a test — and how to pass it

• The difference between backsliding and being lukewarm

• Why your indecision might be disobedience in disguise (James 4:17)

• How to get clarity and respond to God's call with a made-up mind

You’ll also hear real questions we all wrestle with:

• “Why don’t I feel like I trust God?”

• “Why do I feel stuck between two opinions?”

• “How do I finally make up my mind?”

With scriptures like Ezekiel 36:26 and Matthew 5:36-37, this teaching helps you examine your heart, renew your mind, and move from confusion to clarity.

Because all roads eventually lead back to what God is calling you to do.

So the final question remains:
You’ve been called — but will you answer?

Key Scriptures:
James 1:5-8
James 4:17
Matthew 5:36-37
Ezekiel 36:26

This video invites believers into a deeper understanding of what it means to mourn with the Lord rather than grieve in isolation from Him. Too often, we confuse godly lament with weakness or lack of faith. But Scripture shows us that mourning in the presence of God is not only necessary—it’s holy.

Through anchor passages in Job 7, Jeremiah 15, Lamentations 3, and Psalm 42, we explore how lament is a form of worship and intimacy with God. Mourning is not the enemy of hope—when done in His presence, it becomes a pathway to healing and deeper trust.

Key Questions:

• How do you mourn without falling into depression or self-pity?

• What does mourning look like now compared to before you knew Christ?

• Can lament and hope coexist?

This message is for those who:

• Are navigating personal grief or loss

• Have felt distant from God in times of sorrow

• Need encouragement to process pain through a biblical lens

• Are learning to answer God’s call even in brokenness

Main Takeaway:
A life with Christ is not an exclusion of lament. God invites us to mourn with Him—to bring our sorrow to His feet rather than suffer in silence. Your tears are not wasted. Your grief has a place. And hope is still available.

Call to Action:
You’ve called out—but now will you answer? Let this be a moment where you return to the One who has always been calling you. All roads lead back to His purpose for your life. So what should you do now? Answer the call.

You’re not alone — and you’re not off track.In this episode, we explore what it truly means to be called to the wilderness as a follower of Christ. This isn’t just about going through a “dry season” or waiting for your breakthrough. It’s about understanding that the wilderness is a place of deep spiritual formation, clarity, and preparation.God often calls His people into the wilderness before launching them into purpose. Moses. David. Elijah. Jesus. Each of them experienced seasons of solitude, testing, and stretching — not because they were forgotten, but because they were being prepared.This conversation is especially for young believers who know they’re called to something greater, and who are tired of the narrative that you have to wait until you’re older, more experienced, or “perfect” to walk in purpose. The time is now.In this episode, we talk about:Why the wilderness is not a setback, but a setup for your next seasonHow to stay faithful and focused when you feel hidden or overlookedThe difference between isolation and consecrationHow God uses wilderness seasons to strip away distractions and clarify your callingWhat it looks like to walk in purpose today, even when doors aren’t open yetYou don’t have to wait for the perfect moment.
