To Be Blessed and Become a Blessing | Episode 175

You weren’t just blessed to be comfortable—you were blessed to be a blessing. In this episode, Daron unpacks the fourth and final foundation: living a life that overflows with purpose, generosity, and impact.

To Be Seen | Episode 172
The Daron Earlewine Podcast
When you mess up, the cruelest voice in your life is often your own. In this episode, Daron Earlewine unpacks the first foundation—to be seen—and how healing begins when we see ourselves the way God sees us. Key Takeaways: You can’t love others well if you silently reject yourself. Being seen is the first building block of love—and it starts with how you see yourself.

info_outlineIn this episode, Daron Earlewine and PJ Towle discuss their personal journeys of answering God's call and stepping into ministry in the marketplace. They share their experiences of wrestling with the idea of leaving full-time vocational ministry and the fear of stepping away from God's call. They emphasize the importance of following the Holy Spirit's leading and being open to new adventures. Ultimately, they encourage listeners to be captivated by the caller (God) rather than feeling captive to a specific call.
Key Takeaways:
- Understanding one's calling involves an ongoing relationship with the Holy Spirit, internal nudges, external affirmations, and unexpected opportunities.
- Transitioning from ministry to marketplace can evoke an identity crisis and doubts but can ultimately lead to a deeper alignment with God's purpose.
- Stepping into new opportunities or staying the course are both valid responses to God's leading; the key is to be receptive to the caller, not just captive to the initial call.
- Both ministry and secular work can be profound fields ripe for harvest and impact for those willing to pursue them with a relationship-first mindset.
- Long-standing friendships provide unique insights and support as both Daron and PJ encourage one another in their mutual journeys.
Quotes:
- "Am I walking away from God's call on my life?... In no way was I walking away from it, but I was actually stepping deeper into it."
- "I'm going to spend a lot of my life doing my best to help develop and awaken people in the marketplace."
- "We've been in and out of each other's orbits for a long time... I think there's just a lot of potential for spiritual awakening in work."
- "No, everyone is called into the mission of Christ now.”
- "I think the harvest is ripe... I think there's a lot there."
- "The Holy Spirit will never ask us to do something that is not in line with God's character."
