Engineering ➡️ Psychology ➡️ Teacher ➡️ Priest?! Talk about a vocational plot twist. He quit the job...sold the house...packed everything into a pickup truck. No big deal, right? Father Ryan Winger’s story takes more turns than a West Texas highway, but every detour led him closer to where God was calling him. He shares how discernment isn’t one big decision...it’s a series of small, faithful “yeses” that slowly reveal God’s plan. From dodging the idea of priesthood to fully embracing it, this episode is packed with humor, honesty, and the kind of persistence only God can pull off. It's a powerful reminder that no matter where you start, God can take your story somewhere incredible.
