When Your Calling Shifts: Lessons from Ministry to Marketplace

What happens when your calling takes you somewhere unexpected? For years, pastoral ministry was the center of life — preaching, shepherding, leading God’s people. But then comes a shift… into secular/marketplace leadership.

How do you hold on to your identity when your role changes? How do you carry your sense of purpose into a new world, a new culture, a new mission field?

In this episode, we’re joined again by Johnny Levy talking about faith, calling, and the surprising ways God shows up — even outside the church walls."
