    Are you feeling lost in a difficult season, wondering why you have to go through such dark valleys, and struggling to find your purpose when life feels incredibly hard? Thomas Carney, host of the Pursuit of Calling podcast, knows exactly how that feels. After receiving a progressive diagnosis of muscular dystonia that caused painful muscle contractions, Thomas lost his physical independence, had to give up his passion for working out, and faced a massive identity shift. But instead of letting this painful season defeat him, he used the clarity of his diagnosis to lean into his faith. Thomas discovered that your circumstances do not define your calling. In fact, your calling isn't even for you—it is a tool meant to serve the people around you. In this conversation, Thomas provides a practical roadmap for anyone looking to navigate uncertainty. He shares how to grow intentionally, the specific questions you need to ask to uncover your hidden gifts, and why we must actively "speak the gold out" in others. If you are ready to stop chasing success and start living out your God-given calling, press play to get the tools you need to move from pain to purpose. Key Takeaways from this Episode: Purpose in the Pain: How receiving a chronic diagnosis actually gave Thomas the clarity to focus on personal growth and helping others.Your Calling Is Not For You: Discover why your true purpose goes with you everywhere you go and is ultimately meant to serve those around you.The Law of Intentionality: Why finding your purpose doesn't happen by accident and requires daily, intentional choices like reading, getting into the Word, and seeking mentorship.How to Find Your Gifts: The exact questions to ask yourself (and your closest friends) to uncover the natural talents you might be brushing off as simply being "easy".Speak the Gold Out: The vital importance of actively pointing out and validating the unique gifts you see in the people around you.Connect with Thomas Carney: • Support His Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/pursuit.of.calling • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pursuit.of.calling/ --------JOIN OUR COMMUNITY-------- A space for faith-driven leaders to connect, grow, and access trusted insights for business and life. https://masterpiece-business.com/ SIGN-UP FOR OUR BOOTCAMP A brand transformation experience gives you the clarity and strategy to scale your business. https://masterpiece-business.com/bootcamp/ FREE TOOLS + RESOURCES 📄 Masterpiece Insider Newsletter https://masterpiece-brands.kit.com/ ✅ FREE Brand Health Check Assessment https://masterpiece-business.com/brandhealthcheck/

    068| Stop Selling Poverty: The Smarter Way for Entrepreneurs to Create Real Impact

    Today, host Norbert Elnar is joined by Ivan Swartz, the CEO of Nation Builder in South Africa. Generosity is the currency of heaven, but how do we apply it effectively in the marketplace? In this episode, Norbert and Ivan explore how business leaders and Kingdom people can move beyond using corporate social responsibility as just a buzzword or a PR stunt. Ivan shares his honest journey of pivoting from the world of corporate consulting into the social impact sector. He unpacks why true change requires us to rethink how we give, how we partner with communities, and how we tell their stories. In this episode, we cover: - Generosity driven by deep conviction vs. guilt. - Costly lessons from a well-intentioned but failed community project. - Three vital questions to ask before launching any impact initiative. - The danger of "poverty porn" and the power of dignified storytelling. - Why small beginnings—even five handmade teddy bears—matter as much as millions. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a brand leader, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, this episode will challenge you to step up, collaborate, and bring the light of Jesus to the marketplace.
