Episode Description

In this episode of the Be Unbound podcast, we unpack the many ways we participate in God’s redemptive plan—whether that looks like leading movements, supporting quiet acts of change, or simply being faithful where we are.

It’s easy to feel pressure to do something big...to lead, to influence, to make an obvious impact. But what if faithfulness in the ordinary is just as vital as bold leadership? Together, we explore how calling, obedience, and purpose come together in God’s larger story of redemption.

You’ll hear us talk about:

  • The different roles we play in God’s redemptive work
  • Why small, unseen acts of faithfulness still matter eternally
  • The tension between ambition and obedience
  • How to discern where and how God is calling you to participate

This is a grounding, hope-filled conversation that reminds us that eternal impact doesn’t always look like changing the world. It can start with being faithful right where you are.
