The (Un)successful Podcast is hosted by Pete Portal. In each episode Pete is asking what does human flourishing look like, for followers of Jesus, in a world that is growing sick pursuing the wrong sort of success. You'll hear from a variety of guests who live and work in different sectors and with diverse spheres of influence. There will be church leaders, thought leaders, maybe even some political leaders. The running thread throughout, will be how to live faithfully to Jesus in this life, in this world, in this moment in history.

Success Is… Following God’s Calling over Good Ideas
This episode is a little different from other episodes of The (Un)successful Podcast. This episode is part of a series with three of my close friends where we explore what true success looks like.
In the first session of the series, we’ll talk about how following God’s calling might look to others like wasting your life. But if your calling isn’t about what you are going to do but rather who you are going to become, does that change how you think about it?
